Above first in the Premier League? :wink:

Ah yes. Elye Wahi. Like almost all transfer stories these days, I will nod sagely and pretend I’ve heard of them.

In terms of what we absolutely need the most at the moment - with people talking about his ball-carrying ability in the middle of the park - he doesn't seem to fit the mould of a physically strong defensive midfielder that De Zerbi has said he's after. Looks like a good player to get if we could...

Indeed. Also, as a Brescia fan, I think he appreciates the type of club that we are and takes pride in what he can achieve on relatively limited resources. One day, maybe not that far away, he'll probably want to manage a Champions League club again but he'll give us this season at least and...

I’m not going to write this guy off as greedy. If he’s sought after, it makes perfect sense not to jump at the first offer that comes along - annoying as that is. Really it’s down to Albion to set the ultimatum of ‘sign now or forget it’. Otherwise, he’s perfectly entitled to hold off until the...

I think because there’s no suggestion Dortmund are trying to sign him. Just that he’s hoping they will. Like 99.9% of all these stories, nothing of substance has happened since the last clickbait update.

Wanting to join a club is not the same as them bidding for you and talking terms. Could hardly blame the bloke for preferring a potential title challenge in Germany and Champions League football in a ground that holds 80,000+. Maybe this has been the real sticking point. Sounds like BD have...

Turned out to be as dangerous as the Spanish Armada.

We did have the occasional bumper close season with 6 or 7 signings, even back then. Trouble is, the combined fees wouldn’t have been enough to buy one of Caicedo’s earlobes - and it was pretty easy to guess that “Colin Hawkins” and “Jonny Dixon” wouldn’t be outrageously gifted South American...

I’m not sure you can hold this against the player. Anyone who’s any good would always have taken their time to make a decision if they had options. The difference now is social media cranking out constant, often speculative, updates from the first moment a player’s even been linked to a club...

I agree it’d be brilliant to have another Estupinan but do Veltman or Gross have the pace to play RB? I’m not sure the old rules apply. Depends on how clever the player is.

Fear not. Roberto's dream team only needs 2 defenders :)
