If we are signing someone as a third striker until Ekitike is back and older player feels fine. No idea if it should be Guirassy though.

Isn’t he the guy that popped it into the top corner against England with his left though?

Dunno… I do know though he’s the guy who’s played like single-digit games on the right across his career lol

He’s perfect

Who?

It is, yes :+1:

Anyone at this stage.

Anyone take John Stones on a free? Think its worth a shot.
Our last freebie released by City didnt turn out bad did he!

Thought did cross my mind adds as a bit of a stop gap and he would probably be happy to be rotational back up

Joao Gomes to Villa by the looks of it. I know we were linked previously.

Yep

United just signed Tielemans from Villa who are presumably replacing him with Joao Gomes.

As for LFC - they are following the Kelly Jones recruitment model: I’m just looking, I’m not buying.

I would have liked us to sign Joao Gomes, before the window opened he was one I thought could be a good purchase at a reasonable fee. But that was when I assumed Endo would go, and maybe one more. I think if all the midfielders are staying - meaning Jones, Mac and Endo as well as Nyoni - it’s not a position the club will prioritize.

Also, I thought it said Joe Gomez, and then I saw a picture of a player that’s definitely not Joe Gomez. So that was a confusing couple of seconds.

Not the worst option, in fact might be good. The only issue is how much he is willing to lower his salary to be a backup. At reportedly on 250k at Man city, that is definitely not going to be something we should match

He’s not going get that anywhere… Leeds and Everton appear to be favourites.

So yeah if we wanted him we’d get him.

Have to say I am a bit concerned with defence if we had kept Konate I’d probably be ok with it and see what tune Iraola can get out of it but it’s likely going be very green. Need to get VVD back with whoever we choose however relatively early in pre season. Stones would also stop gap to those youngsters we bought that are below Leoni and Jacquet.

Have to say I don’t entirely hate it, largely because a) he can play equally well at RB or LB giving us great cover and b) that means we can safely sell Tsimi and reclaim a non-HG roster spot.

Thought he was pretty impressive last night for the most part.
