With City being found guilty and possibly large points hit resulting in at least relegation.... Who can we pick up from there? They will be loathed to sell to us but when we sue something could happen. O'Reilly? Haaland likely to abroad. Gvardiol, Anderson, bouaddi? Could be quite the fire sale.....

I just hope, and all I have left is hope, that the Sarr briefing is to pressure Brighton to drop their price for Mintah or someone else. Surely we aren't going to suddenly change our approach to transfers for Sarr???

Not against selling Gapko for the fee speculated. He has been mediocre for a long while but does get a good amount of goals and assists. My concern is that this late in the window we will replace him with a more mediocre player for little less than the fee we receive. Seems more to do with getting the big wages off the squad....

If similar output then it can't be either Mintah or Sarr. And.... If Gakpo was that player that could play across the front three then that also narrows it down....

Surely it isn't Sarr. They will fleece us. This is insane.

Funding further expansion of the stadium? Thought Trey liked sound when he came on. Definite Curtis replacement in squad

Still not convinced on spending such a wedge on Barcola. Wasn't first choice for PSG, but mainly because our squad is so thin plus glaring issues in the first 11, feel money better spent on a few players.

What is the point of signing another player that is frequently injured. Lots of muscle injuries. If he can't physically handle La liga how is he expected to cope with the PL? At least he can cover right back and it is a loan. Really good player when fit..

Frimpong is rapid but seems to have only one way of beating a man and is predictable. I think the french lad is quick if not rapid but 2 footed and seems to beat his man well and an eye for a pass. I'd prefer him to a limited speedster on the right wing.

Seems to be his father on law and his wife's family the big backer with him fronting and pitching a wad in too. Stepping down from QPR suggests this is a lot further along and no way it 'leeks' to the press and confirmed by both parties if it isn't far along with a solid MoU on place. Reckon the difficult parts will be agreeing a full takeover at a set price or more easily first dibs but doubt they would buy 30% without an agreement for a full takeover down the line

'could' be the equivalent of getting Klopp at the same stage he was when moving from Mainz to Dortmund, but with premier League experience.

Think Jones stays now but will have to sign a new contract. Suspect Iraola sees him in a similar profile to Scott. Can see Mac having a good world cup and securing a move to Atletico or Bayern. Szo needs to sign a new contract or be sold. Like the idea of him having a summer rest.

Whoever we sign and even more so with Iraola, we need robust players with high availability. Long for the days of Mane, Firmino and Salah being available every week. But with a manager willing to rotate so they don't burnout in March

If Iraola, it seems he doesn't come with a coaching team/setup. Seems only one fitness guy followed him to Bournemouth. We would need to appoint a new coaching/first team setup assuming all of slots team follow him out..... Maybe an ex player as a coach ..?

Early days but a little concerned with the lack of links to a ball/duel winner we desperately need to screen the back 4. Especially if we go for Wharton, we were massively lacking that stability. We seem to have alot of work to do.
