I'd love to think I could just take a passing interest until the football starts again and maybe spend some time with my kids or something but even saying it now, it seems unlikely.

This simply won’t happen. There’s a reason a certain sports channel that splashes yellow bitsies ramps up in popularity during the transfer window. Not to mention a presenter donning a yellow tie who made a name for himself on the back of it. We just can’t stay away from it all.

Plus we will all be here on deadline day to read a post telling us that the lights have been turned off at the training ground and the transfer bods have all left for the evening even though we still clearly need a centre back and a midfielder.

Nothing about transfers other than what’s been said and that Burnham is sniffing about the Bootle seat for a transfer from Manc Metro Mayor in to Parliament (I am on a self imposed exclusion from politics in the Swanny).

Anderson would be better for us than Wharton if we're only signing one centre midfielder this summer.

Yep he’s miles better. That style of mid is better suited to us than Wharton.

He seems far more aggressive than Wharton. Wharton might be great if we bought someone who's defensively better than Gravenberch, but it seems doubtful seeing Gravenberch signed a new deal, probably worth 200 grand a week.

Yeah and I don’t see how you play Wharton and Wirtz unless the latter is out wide. Leaves the middle wide open.

That's a shame. Hopefully he turns s***e.

Need a @FakeNewsBear and/or @MarkD transfer dopamine hit. Even if Slot remaining would take the shine off anything we do for me.

Wharton, Fernandez, Dani Alves. Anyone.

Sorry Swipe, little at the moment other than we have looked at/are looking at Alex Scott from Bournemouth as a possible alternative to Wharton. He is not a defensive midfielder, has had a few knee injuries but technically adept and a good box to box player. Also has Saturdays free after the demise of Football Focus.
