Eh...the guy from the land of pizza and pasta?LW : Gakpo, Ekitike, Isak, Rio
CF : Ekitike, Isak, Gakpo
RW : Salah ..... Frimpong? Can Ekitike or Isak play there? I seem to remember Gakpo playing there once or twice even though not by preference of course.
Damn. Sorry Chiesa - forgot you mate. As a penance I'll take your wife off your hands for a week or two.Eh...the guy from the land of pizza and pasta?

oh dear..
It's the tent he's in under the bridgeI thought he had moved out of his house.
That was a beautiful momentTonali has injured himself diving, love it
We absolutely have. I can imagine the release clause will be 100m and active from next summer. It would have to be low enough to be worthwhile for him to sign.Not sure how reliable this is, but some reports in the Swedish media is that Isak will sign a new contract, probably with a buy-out clause.
I sincerely hope we didn't put all our eggs in one basket.

Surely Ekitike’s another large egg in that basket that we got.Not sure how reliable this is, but some reports in the Swedish media is that Isak will sign a new contract, probably with a buy-out clause.

We should have already being laying groundwork to be blatantly honest.All the noise from the English press is that it's too late for the move to happen now and that we won't make an alternative signing. It's all very well him getting a new deal with a sensible release clause, but time isn't really on his side - at his age we might well be missing out on the best year of his career. I'd want a serious discount if we signed him next summer instead.
Maybe we should just move on altogether and sign someone else this next week. I mean, if we even can.
I think we're sleepwalking into this not being a particularly good window. Given what the ask was, that's not shocking is it? Replacing two era defining fullbacks, two great attackers, and one misfit at a loss.
That is a hard ask. It helps if you do replace the players though.
The club is trying to get both, we are talking about the club laying out £165m+ for both. if the club can save £5m ad it takes uptil deadline day so be itA month ago this was the best window of my lifetime. Now it's a usual FSG net spend window. Guehi and Isak changes the complexion, but we've gone from a guaranteed 10/10 to a potential 7/10, and at worst 5/10
And if we don't get either then what?The club is trying to get both, we are talking about the club laying out £165m+ for both. if the club can save £5m ad it takes uptil deadline day so be it
Then Slot has to integrate 6 new players instead of 8. Jan is only 3 months away.And if we don't get either then what?
