Leave Darwin outta this, he’s not here anymore to defend himself.
@ GermanRed
He hardly played for France the lazy bugger … ![]()
Victor will be tomorrow.
Excluding weekends, hope this helps ![]()
Sounds like we would probably sign two and sell Gakpo.
Has Hughes been on his holidays or something?
So PSG want for Barcola what it’ll cost them to sign Akliouche, Godts and Ferran? If they get that then it’s pretty damn good business by them.
They got good money for Kang-in Lee and Goncalo Ramos as well, and will probably also sell Mbaye this window - hopefully to us.
So they seem to be doing a complete overhaul of their second string attackers.
Which is fascinating because they all played a good amount last season. They rotated to the point of almost having a CL side and Ligue Un version. It could just be an attempt to stave off staleness, where those players know they arent getting the big games unless there are injuries or suspensions and complacency sets in.
I think that’s exactly why they’re doing it. For me that seems like a good approach when you have a clear big game starting lineup like they do, switching things up behind those players. Something maybe Liverpool could have done more of during the Klopp years?
We see now even Barcola, who has an important role and is a player who could start a big CL game for them without many eyebrows being raised, thinks it’s time to go somewhere to be more of a cornerstone.
Who cares anyway, I ain’t fussed if we buy him and at the mooted pruce I wouldn’t.
But if he comes I hope he becomes the 2nd coming of Mo, just like Wirtz.
Bargain basement 2 for 1.
Actually don’t buy anyone and don’t participate in this stupid market, prices are fucked.
Rant over.
Breathe, breathe, breathe
PSG looks like they’re set to buy Ferran Torres as well, probably in anticipation of selling Barcola and Mbaye.

He’s not wrong - there are only 3 Hughes working days left in the transfer window so this needs to get done on the 14th or 21st, Mbaye or a midfielder on the 28th ![]()
I really hope we move on. There is much better value out there.
Careful what you wish for - move on from shopping at M&S, Waitrose or Booths for a value option and you might end up with Temu Pukki or off brand Pedro Netto

But who?
I would assume there is value but I really can´t see many standouts and pretty much none with more than one good season under their belt.
We really ought to hurry up with the Barcola deal, because if the Bezos minority deal gets announced now, he’ll probably cost 200 million.
Although I still think we should just buy little Mbaye.
This is has gone awfully quiet.
Presumably PSG are waiting to buy before they sell. Not sure how concrete the Ferran Torres rumours are, but it might depend on that.
I hope it’s that, and not Arsenal.
