Are we guessing? Home games - PSG, PSV, Bodo/Glimt, Sabah Away games - Real Madrid, Sporting, Shaktar, Bratislava.

I’ve heard nothing about Camara (but it happens). I am with the chosen few on Saturday so I will see what I can find out. I am guessing someone gave in on Barcola. Maybe Indy pressured the movement

All done. Less than Wirtz upfront but addons for league/ecl/balon d’or

Everyone knows that f2f means Federico2Frimpong, which is a pass we’ve never even seen.

I am not Paul Joyce btw but he may be stalking me.

Constant contact but f2f makes a difference (I am told).

These lot make Comolli look like a f***ing expert wheeler and dealer.

Oh let me be clear, I have zero faith in Hughes.

Meeting with PSG this weekend. Barcola and Mbaye on the agenda (obvs). Mbaye, Minteh, or another RW in addition to Barcola is highly likely, and we’re being open and opportunistic on signings for midfield and RB. Sales are also being discussed Endo, Elliott, Gakpo and Bajcetic. Sounds like he’s seen enough of Frimpong at RB. Whatever the f*** all that means but it’s what I’ve got. I’d try and gazump Arsenal for Alvarez because they may well be becoming a dynasty if they can keep everyone happy.

Newcastle making moves in Hadj Moussa. We couldn’t do it again, could we?

Archie Gray, Josh King, Chris Rigg and even Rayan are within two years of Rio. I have genuine hope for the lad but he looks lost on the right and needs to mixup his trick bag a little. Already, no one expects him to blow past a defender first time, it’s always 84 touches.

I don’t know about you but I want my young players to leave the manager no choice but to replace the established players. Gerrard in 1998, made Paul Ince irrelevant.

Nyoni will be great but not yet.

True. I have a list of players I could suggest but Dicky Hughes isn’t taking my calls. b*****d.

Who comes of them need a RW?

Minteh is one of the highest regarded young RW in world football. He’s injured for 3 more weeks, I believe. I think we still need another rw even if we get him fwiw. Barcola saga is mental, heard nothing more than 135m inclusive of addons, Mbaye is price issue, and been told lights will be on until last minute. FWIW, Bakayoko moved to Leipzig, Bardghji has blew his knee again at his new club (Barcelona), Osorio is someone we looked at and moved on, Soule is a bit injury prone as is Tsygankov, also 28, Gronbak is so s***, and Prestianni is tiny (5,5) and very angry. Soule is best shout out of those it’s only 12g/12a in 67 appearances is ok. Yes, it’s true I have nothing to do.

I don’t think he should be starting in the league yet.

I think IF we sign a midfielder and it doesn’t solve the problem. I think we need, in Iraola’s system, two disciplined players. I think what Carragher did point out was the massive hope that appears when both CMs jump.

Like a melodramatic melt.

Isak and Wirtz? It’s got to be the season.

I’d play Araujo at RB, Macca in midfield, and Dom at RW for Rio. Wirtz and Isak have to play their way out of being pony.

As it stands I don’t think we’ve moved away from having the personnel for a 4-2-2-2 except we have no cover up front, Macca and Wirtz appear broken, Kerkez is brainless and we have no right back.

I’ll be at this. Obviously been a b*****d in this or past life.

Pure pony today. I’d be tempted to play Araujo, Jacquet, VVD and Kerkez at the back as Frimpong offered nothing and it may provide cover for our lack of defensive mid. Ngumoha shouldn’t be playing right wing, Gakpo was our best player, Dom and Ryan need discipline and Isak & Wirtz need to grow a set and play like they want to win. Alisson was very and surprisingly poor for both goals and we are in a hell of a pickle.

Alisson was bad for that, he never came out at all.
