We won’t be signing him permanently because he’d surely not want to reduce his salary by £70kpw (or whatever astronomical sum Barca are paying him extra to our salary ceiling).
Don’t fear though.
This could be his replacement (for us, not Barca!).
And when we’d be negotiating with the agent of our next target, the response would be, ad infinitum:
“You gave Kudus a release clause. Give my player one or he goes to West Ham*”.
*Other clubs who are actively trying to gazump our transfer targets as their main recruitment strategy are...
Yes.
Having watched Adingra last night, he needs to be starting every game for us. That is a problem with a fit Mitoma and March. I’d love to keep Karou but I realise that he is the one that has a very high value and is likely to go this summer. That is our system now.
My only reservation is...

Firstly, we’d not break our salary ceiling for Ansu. A possible way of getting round this is for us to sign him on a free with Barca paying off his contract to 2027. This could be the...
Reading between the lines, we’ve paid about £7m for a season long loan with Barca covering his salary. I’m guessing they wanted cash up front to ease their FFP situation.

1. Morning. - New Shirt
2. Lunchtime. - Europa Draw
3. Afternoon. - Fati Signing
4. Evening. - Transfer Deadline (Zeqiri, Alzate and maybe a...
This was the front 4 that absolutely destroyed Klopp’s Liverpool in what I believe was our best performance ever:
———————-Ferguson——————-
Mitoma————-Lallana————March
But is this combo even better?
———————-Welbeck——————-
Fati——————Pedro——-—-Adingra
And in the future, we have Buonanotte and...
Might swing by the club shop tomorrow to add a cheeky name to my shirt.

This is your captain speaking.
We’re currently cruising at a comfortable 43,000ft
The city to the east of you is Valladolid. You ain’t signing for them boy!
I agree. Surely Barco has to join now? And another cheeky loan for an experienced DM wouldn’t go a miss. I wonder if RDZ could get a tune out of Ndombele? Pretty sure he only wants a club European football.
