He has a podcast!? Does he repeat the same information every five seconds on there too? Like verbal sky sports news?

Someone come and collect their Grandad.

Emery said we’d be strengthening after PSR deadline passed. Onana is a big plus but with Luiz and Diaby out you’d think that’s still net negative in strength terms.

I think we’ll still see one or (probably) two major signings coming in, with an outflow of fringe players as and when buyers are found for them.

Fabrizio has tweeted about those 2 deals to death—so, it’s safe to assume it’s not in reference to either of those.

But at the same time that's what ITKs do, onana and diaby are more or less done so it's a safe statement from him, if we sign someone else he can say I told you so, if we just have hose 2 deals he can fall back on that being what he meant

FWIW I'm convinced romano has moved on from leaks, we're actively feeding him this stuff, maybe even paying him to do so hence why he's tweeted so much about onana

I totally get your point but I’m of the opinion it’s active for incomings and that’s not Onana.

Never! I want my football rumours from the back of a newspaper! Like the good old days. When footballers could get their foot stepped on, or kick a football without breaking a bone. And we said foot bone! Not metatarsal! And I could type angry rants on a typewriter! Everything is so confusing and scary now.

I think we’ll sign two more players. A 10/SS and either a centre half or right back.

Romano's comment is in relation to Diaby replacement.

Don’t think it’s a secret Romano is being fed things. His main source is agents. Ornstein on the other hand, as I understand it, mainly use info from the clubs. He is obviously also being fed, with what the clubs are willing to release.

I think romano is now the same 

The club use him for his 21.4m followers, from what I've seen Brighton do exactly the same 

I wouldn't be surprised if we pay him for the "leaks"

We still haven't replaced Luiz's creativity and set pieces.

Barkley and Buendia for now.

Lol did Romano tweet that?

João Félix position is unchanged, if we want him we haven't entered the story yet

Barcelona need money for Nico Williams. His wage demands are way, way outside of our current structure.

I wonder if we might be tempted to go in for someone such as

• Fermin Lopez
• Vitor Roque
• Ferran Torres
• Jules Kounde

I mean we were interested in Nico last year, wasn't he already on the 200k weekly wages at Bilbao? That suggests we would probably break the structure for him. But yes even less possible now that Barca will offer even sillier wages 

[CarryOnVilla]

I have a feeling the whole Williams/Felix/Raphinha thing is all connected. 
 

If Barcelona can’t get Williams, they have Felix back and sell Raphinha

Agreed on the 10/SS and Centre Back. I think we're good at RB 

[MachoFantastico]

I really hope the Le Celso deal is utter crap because that would be a terrible deal for us. He's looked awful for Spurs every time I've seen him. 

[JAMAICAN-VILLAN]

Will be interesting to see what our NET spend is at the end of this window.

Making the all round squad stronger with minimal net  spend is Monchi forte allegedley.
