Lookman, Coleman/Baines are healthy, whole season of Walcott and Cenk. New manager. Pretty simple, really.
Siggy, Coleman, Walcott, Tosun, Lookman almost never played together.
We are going to so some business, but even as-is we are better.
And stop it with the leading scoring garbage. He took penalties, that’s why he was our leading scorer.
Add to that that we don't have that pudding and his pet goblin on the sideline with their primitive football tactics.

The Malcom thing is Sky UK/Italy bollocks that then got picked up by secondary media and treated as fact but the journalists closer to the club (including King, Hunter, McNulty) all immediately said in various ways when Sky ‘broke it’ no interest/no bid & Echo also weighed in.
Selling clubs, buying clubs & agents plant supposed ‘bids’ from other clubs all the time so when the players goes where he was always likely to go the agent can say he chose club x over others because he loved them, club x can say how ambitious & attractive they are beating off all those phoney competitors and selling club can say look at the value we got from this great non-existent auction we created. 99% of the time it is PR bollocks, pure theatre for the hard of thinking to lap up.
Last summer we were linked to about 120 players & signed about 8 too many! This summer we’ve been linked to 80+ already. There is probably some truth in perhaps 10% of those links. It is ridiculous getting worked up because of claims we “missed out/were beaten to the punch” by the Sky fiction factory or some tabloid that is also trying to tell you Brexit will be great, May is strong & stable, BoZo is Churchillian and Klopp is a genius.

the squad finished 8th - Silva has said he expects the movement in the next few days.

We are just as crap at selling players as we are at buying them tho mate, liverpool are selling a reserve goalkeeper who no one has ever heard of for 10 mil and we have got naff all for Robles and want 20 mill for Lookman.
Sadly, that's the benefit of being a top 4 team. Remember how many chumps Fergie used to sell for silly money?

Indeed we got very good money for rubbish under Moyes when we were top 6 as well.

Excellent post
...report from Turkey says everything is agreed regarding Fenerbahce’s loan deal for Bolasie except his family are settled in London and not keen on moving abroad.
Yes and I'm just pointing out there are two ways of doing it and before making judgment, let's just wait until the end of the window. We may have done what West ham have done, but in hindsight we bought the wrong players and to be fair , a lot of us had serious concerns over not replacing Lakuku. Seriously hope West Ham fall on their backside mate.

A) They didn't move to NW ?
B) Do these things not come up before they start negotiations ?

Zaha is going to have to run his contract down another year if Palace are asking for £70m. Even Steve Walsh would baulk at that price.
I don't know really know what to expect between now and the window closing. I thought that a few obscure names would have been brought in for fairly small fees by now, considering Brands' record at PSV. Paying enormous fees for known quantities seems to defeat the object of the apparent business model.
