Very happy with that.

Games before CL group games includes 2 games in London with little travel, but also play Utd and Arsenal.
Games after CL group games includes 5 out of 6 at home.. with the toughest test being Liverpool.

From memory our schedule before/after Europe was pretty bad last year, and this year is quite good. Very happy with that indeed.

Also Son has just broken his arm and may miss the start of the campaign.

Yay.......

3421 with Eriksen & Dele behind Kane it is then!

 

[Bobby Beecroft]

JJ says Seri is paper talk and Ricardo Pereira is being negotiated (replacement for Walker).

Know your ITKs.

Honestly ITKs are often a figment of imaginations - have been reading them for many years.
Still doesn't stop me from reading them.
That said quite entertaining - The Goat Criptic overnight, has lead to hours of debate with still no answer............

 

[jd2010]

What are the so called itks saying about our incoming transfers?

All I've heard is Sessengon is a done deal

 

[Art Vandelay_]

She's nearly gone. Sinking in now.

On the positive side we've been kind enough to donate turnstiles to a local non-league club.
A small act but one that no doubt the new owners would appreciate.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Good news. Suggests Kyle will stay.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Hmmmm. Legit or fake?

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Very dull if legit

 

[Father Jack]

Well, it's a white shirt, the duller the better

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Don't mind the plain white - something like the 2012/13 kit. But that one just looks shit. Maybe it's the sponsor or maybe because it's Nike, I dunno but it doesn't look "classic" to me if that was the look they were going for this time

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Rose expected to be out until late August and Lamela return looks like October.

Good to see another one smacked with a drug ban......

You heard something about Lamela? I speculated about his mystery injuries being that

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Except he had further surgery in april. Debunks the drug ban theory.

 

[jd2010]

Any early target of ours Bruma is off to RB Leipzig. His gala coach has said he has a worse attitude than Zlatan at his worst! Good thing we avoided that. Think I'd rather failures of talent like GKN and NJie than players like that

 

[WealstoneRaider]

I think we are about seven weeks from the start of the season and no real sign of any transfer activity except for Walker to City. I hope we don't leave it to the last minute once again.

Just need depth players really. A striker to cover Kane, a left back to cover Rose although that's a tad harsh on Davies, and another centre back as Poch doesn't seem to rate Wimmer. With Winks and Lamela coming back I think midfield is covered although I wouldn't be surprised to see some activity there also

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Hold firm and tell City to get bent. 4.5 years on his contract.
He stays.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

We want £50m for him, that could really help us strengthen where it's needed. Trippier could be a better player anyway, but both could rotate but would either be happy with that situation? The worry would be if Trippier got crocked that would then be a disaster. I'm happy for him to stay but it looks like he wants to go though

 

[Art Vandelay_]

No it weakens us. Cannot replace Walker with the quality required and it weakens our overall RB depth. No sale.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Weakens the squad rather than the team. But Walkers namesake is highly rated and Poch may think his chance as back-up has arrived. If a player wants out, and you have a more than adequate replacement, then you have to consider selling. This isn't like the Bale or Modric situation when we obviously had no ready-made replacements

 

[Art Vandelay_]

We don't have adequate replacement. Hasn't even played 1 minute of senior football yet we're seemingly happy for him to be RB cover in a CL year.
No thanks. Kyle stays.

 

[jd2010]

I don't think city will bother with walker with that asking price and Alves available. But if they do I won't be surprised if we buy the Portuguese RB from Nice to be competitions with Trippier. Very highly rated and would be £30m less than what we'd make on walker. Could then use that excess cash to sign Ginter and a winger.

I only want us to sell walker if it's for crazy money and all of it and then some is reinvested into the squad. Of our best XI imo Walker is the weakest link. If we can sell him and sign 3 good squad players who could push the starters or be very good cover (like Son) then it's worth it

 

[go you pups]

So um.....
