Diallo seems an odd selection.

I do normally try to think before posting. In this case I was guilty of not looking at Wikipedia closely enough 🙂

Yeah, missed that - so 50 million it is then 🙂

Antony is a Brazilian star with senior caps to his name, he has far more of a pedigree than Gakpo. Cody Gakpo has not even played for the Dutch full national side. I'd be staggered if they get anywhere close to 50 million for him.

PSV have no chance of getting 50 million for a player untried outside their league which, let's face it, is not among the strongest in Europe. They are living in cloud cuckoo land. OK, maybe they want to keep him and are therefore just pricing him out of the market but they risk ending up with a very disgruntled player who doesn't bust a gut for them and we've all seen that happen. Not sure how long he has left on his contract.

Wasn't moaning so you've misinterpreted what I said and put your own slant on it. Merely expressed a view that I think we need a striker and creative number 10 before the window closes. I thought this was a forum for people to discuss our football club and give their opinions. Mine may not coincide with your own appraisal of what we need but that doesn't mean I'm moaning, far from it. I've already said we've done good business so far and signed some great players. Don't mistake moaning for adopting a different view to your own.

Most of us don't deny it has been a good window to date and we have upgraded the squad with some great acquisitions. However, I don't believe it is behaving like a prat to suggest the signings so far leave us still vulnerable because clearly there remain areas where we are lacking. Some may think we've done enough and you sound like you are one of them and that's fair enough - personally I reckon we need at least another striker and probably a creative number 10. Let's see what unfolds.

What by giving him away for free and paying half his wages? He's a good player with a lot still to offer - if this side want him then they need to get their hand in their pocket and show us the readies. We're not a charity and nobody does us any favours.

The way this is shaping up it looks like we'll have to wait until late Thursday for any signings. It's going to be a nervy one for sure.

Yes, I would be more inclined to believe things if the target and his price was more realistic for us. Gakpo is way out of our price range and bigger fish are interested in him. Let's hear about some realistic targets.

Cody Gakpo is brilliant, tall, strong, powerful runner who can go by opponents, plenty of goals and assists to his game and he whips in a mean corner or cross. Would be pleasantly surprised if a) we could afford him and b) he'd come to us among interest from much bigger clubs. Doubt there is any substance in this.

ABK did make a brilliant last ditch tackle in the second half - can't remember who on.

Plus a creative number 10.

From what I am reading people seem to be only expecting one incoming which will be a huge disappointment. We need two decent acquisitions for me at centre forward and a creative midfield number 10. I don't think full back is a priority but a loan signing to cover Tino's long term absence would be welcome.

To be fair to Ralph bringing on a centre back to play up front and hope someone gets on the end of a knock down is a well used ploy. Don't think he was expecting Lyanco to score - just wanted him to wreak a bit of havoc because we weren't winning many aerial battles up front.

Just hearing the New York Knicks have put in a bid of $200million for Scott McTominay.

Lady Penelope wants him sacked.

Reckon Bournemouth could be the first club to do it twice in the same season.

Heard he had a pre-match phone chat about tactics with Ralph - must have listened carefully and taken it all on board.

Full time 9-0 😞

Dey do do dat doe don't dey!

Calm down, calm down....

Must be loads of added on time for all those kick-offs after goals.

You can never rely on scousers.

Only South Coast softies lose 9-0.
