KWP must be on his way out. No involvement in any of our pre-season games.

London 2012 - GOAT Paris 2024 - BOAT

Perhaps, although I assume he has family and friends in Middlesex given that's where he grew up which could play a factor. I think we could match Atalanta for wages and possibly even beat them on transfer fee and he won't need to learn a new language. Wishful thinking probably.

I was expecting some Jean-Michel Jarre, Charles Trenet or perhaps something more modern like Daft Punk rather than John Lennon 😆

Hopefully we'll bring in a loan and they'll help Russell see sense in regards to giving No.1 back to Bazunu.

True we overpaid for Onuachu, especially given his age although his transfer fee is so much lower now partially because we can't shift him on his wages. Apparently he's handed in a tranfer request and will only consider Trabzonspor. I guess that drops the transfer fee even lower as he's likely forfieted recieving the remainder of his signing on fee to help push the move through.

Yeah, granted it was a winter signing, but if we rated Sulemana at £22m then £25m for O'Riley is probably not unreasonable. I'd hope we could structure that deal to be slightly more favourable though.

Romeo Lavia £14m, Gavin Bazunu £12m, Shea Charles £12m, Ross Stewart £8m were all big risks. Bigger risks than Matt O'Rily at £20m would be in my opinion. Stuart Armstrong had 1 year left on his contract when we signed him for £7m. Matt O'Riley still has 3 years on his contract. I think we'd be spending at least £14m on a 26 year old Stuart Armstrong in todays market if he had 3 years left on his Celtic deal. Matt O'Riley is still only 23 years old so the fee doesn't seem outlandish to me.

Own up. Who wrote this? 😂

Let's hope we sort our striking options out before then. Already competing with Ipswich for Brereton-Diaz. Everton tried to sign him before he decided on Villarreal.

We've seen other players from the Euros playing friendlies for other clubs but fair enough. I was just thrown off by the marketing for the match this morning...

Dibling impressed me especially today and Sugawara looks capable of filling the potenital KWP void. Defending was poor, mostly self inflicted with unnecessary passing inside our own box. They scored 3 past Brighton U23's. They could have easily matched that or worse against us. I think it's clear we need a GK and CF. Charles isn't adequate backup for Downes either.

FAFFING!

Best for all parties if Lis returns to Goztepe.

Downes getting lippy with the hair bleached player that threw Dibling over. They won't bully him 😂

Surprised not to see Bednarek.

Tyler thrown to the floor 😂

Much better start to this half. We have to get Dibling to sign a new contract. Expires 2025.

Same team?

Could have conceded a couple more that half. Mara kept quiet.

I hope we don't revert back to inverted fullbacks for next season.

Yes and our faffing at the back will be badly exposed in the Prem.

We'll have to get used to conceding like that with our faffing at the back.

£88 seems a bit steep.
