    OCS, Knowing our luck it will be Dani Dyer & Jarrod Bowen signing a magazine contract.

    Andy Carroll has joined West Brom - even though he failed to score against them back in November

    Getting to the domino stage

    We’re just getting used to good football, so Dominos might be a step too far!
    Is that the game or the pizza =)

    Just a thought....are the owners being careful with their spending because a club sale is on the horizon and they're lowerng debts ? I dunno, ignore me. I'm just trying to put a spin on things.

    Yoyo putting a spin on things.

    I really hope that was deliberate.

    Yoyo is always up and down to be fair.

    I don’t think it’s likely, but Raphinha would be one heck of a signing.

    Doesn’t he play where Bowen plays?

    Often, yes. But I’ve seen him play off the left and behind the striker. I think he’s even played in CM for Leeds before

    Edit; according to transfermarkt, 74 games at left wing, 98 at right wing.

    We would have the best bench for attacking midfielders in the league with Bowen, Vlasik, Benrhama, Fornals, Lanzini, and now Raphina, but still only one striker.
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    In other news I know some of us have been worried about Kral appearing to have been sidelined. I think he is feeling ok.

  • BubblesNeverDiesBubblesNeverDies
    Obviously not taking the job seriously - I mean, have you seen the size of those portions.
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    I did think that, for just the two of them! I wonder if there is a maximum load capacity on the bench he sits on each week.

    Ex has said the bid for Raphinha was genuine, but immediately rejected by Leeds.

    So in a window where a striker and a CB are the obvious priority, we drop a £50m bid on an attacking midfielder, where we already have Bowen, Benrahma, Fornals, Vlasic and Lanzini 🤔

    Baulking at £17m for DCC, and with players like Origi supposedly available for £10m, we're busy trying to smash our transfer record on a player that is key to a team with a relegation battle just over their shoulder. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

    Some speculation on social media that it's another of Sullivan's phantom bids (offer under a player's value knowing it's likely to be rejected and say 'we tried') to kill more of the window. But even if it was a genuine attempt, why a winger when there are bigger issues with the squad?

    I don’t believe Sullivan has any involvement now in bids. We have Newman. I think believing Sullivan is responsible for any bids going in is wrong. The man is now on the way out & we appointed a Head of Recruitment for a reason.

    can drop a 50m bid on Raphina but suddenly cant find the money to sign other players lol. Same strat as usual.

    Nah, I can't see Sullivan giving up that much responsibility. I think the Husillos debacle has probably strengthened his desire to manage the deals.

    Newman is effectively head of scouting, I reckon, with Sullivan still doing the negotiations.

    So to sum again - again:
    Nobody outside the club knows what’s really going on.

    I highly doubt that happened. A conversation may have been had but I highly doubt an official £50m bid was made.

    No, but again, this is a speculation thread. People will use it to speculate.

    There is a 'transfers done and dusted' category for those wanting to deal purely in fact, but there's not a lot going on over there at the moment 😉

    I dread the day clown comes up on Wordle.
  • FortuneseekerFortuneseeker
    If we really have got £50 million to spend on one player we can look for a more top end striker than a middle range one but of course we could buy 2/3 new players by Monday night to address the outstanding issues from the summer window. NO EXCUSES!

    Might be handy to introduce as an introduction to humour?

    Ooh ooh I’ve got a some rumour and speculation!

    That Chilean striker Brereton-Diaz at Blackburn didn’t play and wasn’t on the bench today.
    I know nothing else, just tipping you the wink.
