  1. Absolutely. I mentioned this before. You don't announce you have £35m+ and then go and start signing players. You get deals in place before you sell one of your assets for big money. I remember Spur did this with Bale, they signed loads of players, then announced they had sold Bale.
  2. Two players from the starting lineup vs Stevenage are already out the door, with Sanson soon to follow.

    Louie Barry

    Yeah, he owns Real Union. I think his father and grandfather played for them.

    Unai Emery

    They certainly wouldn't be saying we're 11 points off relegation.
  5. That formation can easily morph into: ------------Watkins------------New-------------------- Ramsey-----Guendouzi-----Kamara-----Luiz Moreno -----Mings ------ Carlos--------Young ----------------------Martinez---------------------------
  6. Watched the last 20 mins. He came on and was pressing well. But then asked to come off, and had an ice pack on his knee in the dugout. maybe came back too soon. Can’t see this happening this window now.
  7. Came on as a sub and went off injured 10 mins later. Not sure it’s happening this window.
  8. Cam on as a sub but went off 10 mins later injured
  9. Aside from strikers, modern fullbacks and wingers are the next two most expensive positions to fill. It’s why very few teams have two good wingers and two good fullbacks, too expensive for most teams.
  10. The commentary I was watching kept going on about the shove, and how soft it was. I knew straight away it wasn’t disallowed for the shove, you can clearly see Ramsey going down holding his ankle.
  11. Emery knows him well. I’d imagine we’d be straight in for him if Emery wanted him.

    Jhon Durán

    We’re Aston Villa, and we’re bigger than the Colombian FA.
  13. Probably not a position we will look to replace in January but come the summer we will probably be looking at a new RB. And upgrade on Cash and Young isn't getting any younger (pun intended). Is KKH ready, probably not. I see Arsenal are about to sign some highly rated Spanish right back, and with Ben White preferred as first choice RB, Tomiyasu could find himself as 3rd choice. If he was available, he seems like the type of RB Emery prefers over the more attacking LB.
  14. No way Emery comes here if we have no money and is sell to buy. We just need to trim some of the deadwood.
  15. I don't think he can be compared to Edouard. He's struggled outside of the SPL. Dembele has scored in Ligue 1 which while not at the level of the PL is miles ahead of the SPL.
  16. I think it's just the wage budget that needs brought down, we can't keep players like Nakamba and Sanson on the payroll that aren't playing.
  17. Was only really looking at his stats since joining Lyon. He got off to a good start in the first 2 seasons, but in the last 3 seasons he's only had 1 good season.
  18. Maybe stop gap is the wrong phrase to use. I meant someone like Dembele isn't going to take us the next level, he's more of another body up front, no worse or better than what we have just a solid alternative who'd need to be upgraded at some point in the future. Weather that is by Duran surpassing him or us spending big on an upgrade. But we have a gap in the team left by Ings, and it needs filled.
  19. He's 26 and has a good reputation in Europe, he wouldn't be that difficult to shift after 18 or 24 months. We just sold a 30-year-old on £120k for £15m, there will always be desperate teams looking a striker. And who knows, he might actually be worth keeping. In which case, we can sell Watkins.
  20. Haven't heard anything else. Worth noting, he is also at the U20 South American thing, with Chile.
  21. Guendouzi and Dembele, would be happy enough with that. Although it would mean not getting the winger Emery is said to have wanted, unless we add a 3rd.
