Fixed it for you.

Unless there is loads of thunder or something I would say almost no chance.

If Armstrong got injured, who would be our alternative? Probably tells you where one of our biggest weaknesses in the squad is.

If our three main strikers get twenty or more goals between them they will have done very well.

If we can afford a player at 25 million plus then why wouldn't we have gone for o'riley?

Who would think otherwise?

Yeah I agree. We've done good business but not unbelievable. Maybe we could get one more attacking signing in to finish things off before the end of the window.

Agreed he's more of an ensemble character. Amusingly I've always viewed jenas as quite clean cut - presumably the bbc thought so too but as is proven time and time again public personas can be deceiving.

I quite like him. He's a pretty average pundit with a above average personality. Much better pundit than someone like Owen, jenas or sturridge.

You're gay sue? I hadn't realised.

How is the value of a part exchange player worked out for the purposes of FFP?

TBF he's only weak with long passing apparently because he never does it.

I love how people act like it's their personal money. Sports Republic can run their business however they feel fit. It's not like they haven't spent loads already this window.

At least someone like micah Richards has a personality and makes himself stand out. Jenas is just bland but speaks OK without some gangster accent.

Maybe Ramsdale on loan would give us enough extra cash to pay for someone like Clarke?

Who else does that apply to?

Well it's 10th in the uefa rankings just below Portugal and Belgium so I expect it's a pretty good standard. By comparison Scotland are 17th.

Maybe they will be the feeder club for another one of the club's in the chain. Wasn't there a rumour of an Irish club?

I expect Alcaraz and his representatives have little interest in him having a bit part role off the bench in a system he doesn't fully suit.

The other tweet I saw said he would be loaned out to Goztepe. If it is the case that we are buying him first then it's possible that he wouldn't he t a work permit without going to Turkey first. Either way the multi club model is doing its job.

And it lessens our exposure whe and you get a carillo type player and we end up paying him in wages and can't get rid of him. Too many of them and it drags the entire club down.

No. This is literally the point of a multi club model. We are trialling the player for a year, seeing if he is suitable for our setup and then if he is we will buy him and if he isn't we will send him back with very little risk to us.

Not sure why some are finding it difficult to understand. Absolutely nobody is giving us 40 million for Alcaraz and we can't afford to have an asset like him largely sat on the bench most weeks.

Because presumably we would buy Victor Hugo if he proves himself in Turkey and we get a profit which helps with FFP.

Meslier 23rd???
