Summer transfers continued.

[Daffydd]

It looks like we might sell Elliott, Tsimikas and Bajcetic which might wipe out our net spend

[justincredible]

It will never change..

But then a cursory look at his peers shows Kroenke increasing his wealth with the fellow US billionaire, pandemic/war profiteering elites over the last 5 years from $13.5 billion to $20 billion...a 48% increase.... while our wonderful 'Cigar Smoking Wrinkled Dick' has managed to vastly outstrip him - with a whopping reward... $2.5 billion to $6 billion... a 140% increase.


Astounding in the west and an era that over the same period has seen the "unprecedented fall," with many metrics indicating the worst decline in living standards since the 1950s.

"Yeh yeh, but as long as I have my 75" TV, two cars on the drive and a couple of sun holidays every year.. Innit"

[Steveo]

Yep - good point well made.

[Insidious]

I feel jittery about Guehi.
Should have had it done before now.
We need another top-class centre back.

I remain quietly confident on it, but it's definitely important business to conduct.

Glasners comments yesterday suggests he won't leave until after their conference league second leg. But a hint of resignation that he will go.

Looks like Elliot is closing in on Leipzig.. so another out the door. whats the list of players thats gone now?

[justincredible]

Und?

[justincredible]

Slotmeister ain't playing them. Time to move.. "Go move, shift!"

[justme]

Yep i agree with that.. But its the back up in the squad thats the issue..

[miller0863]

Pretty sure Elliott will go for £40m taking our net down to around £5m.

[miller0863]

It wouldn’t surprise me if we are trying to negotiate a Konate plus cash deal for Rodrygo, probably arguing over the last £10m or so as usual. Maybe £35-40m going to Madrid?

While we bring in, or at least attempt to bring in, Rodrygo, Guehi and Isak with a current window final net spend of around £200m and that (if we bring all 3 in) would represent a hell of a window.

Bringing in such a high number of absolutely top level players at a time when every club in Europe is also looking to bring in the best players. It would represent a seriously good effort from our recruitment team, probably the best ever.



Still say we’d need a 6 to complete the picture tho

[justme]

If we lose Konate and get Guehi. leaves us short in my opinion. Look at Gomez can't train more than half an hour after his 20 minutes in the Bournemouth game.. all we have is Leoni as back up then..

[reddownunder]

Pretty sure Elliott will go for £40m taking our net down to around £5m.

Just the way FSG like it. I'll be quite underwhelmed with our business if we don't sign a CB and forward

[RedMagic]

I just came across this interview that Mark Guehi gave to the BBC.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cdxyde951r5o

There is one particular answer to a question that Guehi was asked that all Reds might find very interesting.

Kelly: "Are you a sociable person?"

Marc: "Yes, but I don't have many friends. All my friends are either in different countries or live in Manchester or Liverpool so it's hard to connect."

Fingers crossed.

Continue to see the odd wee rumour of being linked to Isaque Severino Silva (talented 18-year old from Brazil, attacking mid, never watched him outside of YouTube vids) and Man City are also linked.

Also some speculation that we wish to buy Michael Olise from Bayern, but that we would be targeting the move in the window before the 26/27 season, not this one. He would be 24 by then and whilst a like-for-like replacement for Salah is a next-to-impossible find, he could probably perform pretty respectably at our club - hate dealing with Bayern when it comes to transfers though.

Speaking of Bayern, what's with all the weird power struggle at the top level at the moment?
