Player Valuation: £15m
It’s Friday. They play Yokohama on Friday 25th and that game ends their Japan tour.
Haha excellent planning.

End of the week I think, he has some clause (Son has it also) they have to feature in Asian tours.
Bernard costs virtually nothing and Gomes was a loan. Mina was actually a decent signing but never fit.
Then consider a bid?
Hopefully we "accelerate our interest".I thought the Kubo rumour has already been binned?
I think we might ‘show an interest’ in Fellows at WBA.
Could be all agreed already but had to stay with them for their Asian tour, might explain the limited minutes he gotIf he is our number 1 target, unless sociedad are telling us a firm no, then he is still in play.
We could go and get someone not deemed as good sooner, but surely you work on your number 1 target until you know it’s not possible.
If the club is being better run, as I believe it is, we should have things in place/underway for our number 2 target but until the first target is not in play anymore, we should be waiting.
It’s why I’m not stressed about the signings. We will get people in, but I’d rather get the top targets then just bringing in 4th or 5th targets just because they could be in right this second.

I will be really sad when Myko gets pushed to the bench. It will mean we have improved the starting lineup, but he is good, if not excellent at what he does. He has consistently made some the leagues best wingers look frustrated (Salah, Saka, Kulesevski etc). He boots Saka early every time he plays him, it worked against England and he did it every time after. Caught a few times being weak at the back post undoubtedly.
He’s made innumerable certain goal saving blocks or clearances when Pickford beaten. Played games in injured and needing an op because we had no cover. Played on til half time when very very injured so as not to disrupt things until the break.
He has spoken about how he can’t sleep at all when we are in bother. Could argue that’s hardly an elite
mindset, but it at least shows how much responsibility he takes.
His crosses, when he has space sometimes have a really good pacey, head-height trajectory. He can do it.
His mindset is one of being terrified of doing something bad, rather than desire to do something good. It’s very effective defensively but restricting creatively. It’s also an exhausting and stress-inducing mindset.
I think he’s brilliant. Exactly what we needed in some recent situations. If he is replaced, then c’est la vie; it means he hasn’t been able to adapt his game and mindset and we have a more modern player. Earned every single penny we’ve paid him.
I think the ‘Everton signed Michael Keane at the start of July once, so all early signings are terrible’ argument doesn’t really stack up for me I’m afraid.
Who were those preferred targets..? My memory is letting me down hereRemember when all our targets turned us down so we panic bought Iwobi? What a window.
Amiga?Yes amigo
Where was that ?.
The Aznou rumour has already been dismissed by big Al Myers.
