Saint Garrett

I believe he has contacts at the club. No idea if this is true though.

Yup.

He’ll go somewhere I think, just depends on when Chelsea bring in a striker. We want him, he wants to come, that doesn’t mean it happens. It’s a wait and see I think, with Everton probably trying to use him in the Gordon deal, assuming they’re not desperate for money for FFP reasons.

They’d have had to bring another one out, like Newcastle who have just brought out a 4th kit as their first 3 kits clashed with Brighton.

Why is Broja out?

Probably because of the "kit clash", but only speculating, not sure. Not really sure why we had yellow vs white on Saturday though, would have been fine if we were in red and white stripes, but was difficult to pick them out at times.

No sorry. Maybe it was for Delap and he chose to go elsewhere. Not really sure how it all works tbh

Gut feeling is that we thought he’d be a good investment at £15m odd, but not necessarily for this season.

I’d guess so. We certainly don’t need Caballero, Macca and Lis as backups to Bazunu though.

Will be interesting to see how Delap gets on, he should absolutely tear it up in that league. I don't see Romeu leaving, but everyone has their price, but club aren't expecting him to leave. Still a key player in the squad Ralph wants to keep Stephens because of his versatility, but again, everyone has their price and he isn't a starter... Redmond would like to move back closer to his family apparently, since he's had a baby. One of Macca or Lis will leave. A lot of interest in Adam Armstrong this summer, but Ralph wants him to stay, not sure if that would have been different if Broja had signed... No news on Che, still no offers, and no willingness for him to leave, but that might change if and when we sign a striker. .. Struggling to get rid of the players we want to get rid of.

Yeah - and who you bump into. Have to say Railay Bay is one of the best places I've ever been, can only get there by boat, no cars, Monkeys walking about everywhere, great for rock climbing if that's your vibe. Everything is like looking at a postcard. Wasn't a big fan of Bangkok though, party islands don't get great reviews as full of tossers most of the time, same as shagaluf etc

Just got back from France, got married in the alps, but stopped in Beaune on the way down as we drove. stopped at Lake Annecy and Colmar on the way back. Something very special about France I find.

Amazing place. I went to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Railay Bay, Ko Phi Phi about 6 years ago. I'd love to go back. It's just so chilled but you get a bunch of culture too. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Think we have a bunch on our list, which most clubs will always have. With a priority of Broja. Delap is another option, with probably a few from Europe somewhere. I’m confident we will bring one in.

Supposedly. So idea who it is, what it's for, or whether its still happening though. I would guess that if it's not in the public eye already it may be a youth player or it's not happening.

Signed a big new 5 year contract a few months ago, now saying he wants out.

No chance.

Deli Ali off to Besiktas. Everton not even paid for him yet

Van Dijk mk II Tosser. Leicester have just paid him to be injured for a year, and got him back to full fitness, repays them with this. think it's really poor form from Fofana personally

Would be a bit of a gamble letting him go, but I do understand it. We don't really have anyone else like him though.

Aren't Girona owned by Man City too? Maybe something linked there.

Seems very "saga-like"

Either cash flow, or FFP purposes..

You'd think so, but maybe they were desperate to be rid of Abramovich. It certainly is a bit dodgy..
