Having another Garner level player on a free might not be a bad thing. If Iroehbunam goes on loan and we got Brownhill it’s swapping out one backup option that’s not ready for one backup option that would be at minimal cost. Luiz, Gana, Garner...
They can say - and get their flunkies like Maguire to say - what they like. They're forever stained as an oil club equivalent.
£400M spent in one window.

Xhaka deal is a strange one. You’d think he’d have better offers than Sunderland even in the prem, could have seen someone like Fulham or West Ham go for him, even United. Nothing even from Saudi.
He’s alright in number 10 when the game breaks up. Don’t think he’s nailed down a starter spot yet. Some games he looks slow to the pace, others he has a good impact. .
We may need to move quickly. If Liverpool are selling Diaz to go for Isak it means Ekitike/Gakpo on the left hand side. If they can’t get Isak, Ekitike goes into the middle and they might be looking for cover on both flanks. Hopefully we can...
Can’t see us getting both Fofana and Kubo.
If we brought in Luiz McAtee and Fofana that would be brilliant.

I’m resigned to the fact that no matter how many players we buy they’ll all be injured for both derbies. It was absolutely typical last season that Ndiaye got crocked v Liverpool at home and then returned the game after Anfield.
Beto has obviously done well last season but I’’ll be amazed if the club splashed 30 mill and convinced Barry to turn down Cl football to come and sit on the bench. As soon as Barry is up to full fitness and getting considerable pre season time I...
I feel like people just cant wait to see ITKs fail so if they get anything wrong they just divebomb them.
Strangely enough it seems the same people who are the first to attack itk for geting something wrong. They are the same ones constantly...
Yeah tbh I think if you said to me as soon as the final ball was kicked last season that by the end of July we’d have:
Got rid/not renewed DCL, Doucoure, Young, Harrison, Lindstrom, Mangala, Broja
New deal for Gana
Contract extension for...
We’re about to sign our fourth player today mate.
That takes the squad to 21. (Despite what some head bangers say).
There is loads of time in the window yet.
Wel be grand!
We’ve also not been shy at paying agents at all under Moshiri.
I think people do get too fixated on players positions - Harrison wasn’t really a right sided midfielder when we brought him in, but we still played him there for 2 years. No reason N’Diaye can’t play there.
