We remain locked in talks with PSG for Barcola.
We have moved on from Diomande.
We enquired about Akliouche early in the summer and that was about it.
We've been looking at a Spanish Right back but can't get a name. Will keep pushing.
Cheers.
Djimi.

I love this, some ITKs that are very reliable saying one thing, other reliable ITKs saying another, I'm genuinely excited to see what pans out. :)
22 Jul 2026 20:22:47
I completely respect the poster's views.
However, we have not moved on from Diomande. He is the priority target. If a deal can be done, it will be done. Personally, I'm certain it will.
We won't be signing Barcola.
And there is nothing in the rumours about Akliouche.
Over and out.

A Spanish rb called Carvajal?
22 Jul 2026 20:48:34
Spanish RB is obvious- Arnau Martinez.
22 Jul 2026 21:00:17
The Spanish RB in question is El Trente.
22 Jul 2026 21:49:59
El ?... nah, just kidding I'd take him back in a heart beat. People make mistakes
22 Jul 2026 21:53:40
Djimi Traore. What a legend lol.
22 Jul 2026 22:10:52
I enjoy the ITK style.
Especially the wannabe ITKs who just summarise what others say, sprinkle a bit of NewsNow and then try to establish their own rep!
Oh Ed002, we miss you ?
22 Jul 2026 22:11:34
Everyone's on the Carra spacing theme and trademarking a sign off these days.
I didn't like a lot of Ed002's mannerisms and some of his responses were outright rude, but god I don't half miss him on here.
22 Jul 2026 22:19:48
Leave El Twato in Spain.
22 Jul 2026 22:23:45
Eh, Westwood, what if all these mimics are all just Carra with different accounts? ?
22 Jul 2026 22:28:37
Is this word you've heard, Djimi? Or seen online?
I can't help but feel the Akiouche link is to try and push PSG into making a move so we can have a shot at Barcola, but who knows.
PS I don't blame you any more, Djimi, but it's still a cracker of a song. ? Modern fans probably think my username is related to Adama Traore!
22 Jul 2026 22:41:26
Yeah ed002 was a bit much sometimes.
22 Jul 2026 23:20:41
Is the Spanish RB Trente?
23 Jul 2026 00:45:32
Thefields, don't do that to me, I'm far too open to conspiracy theories.
23 Jul 2026 00:47:31
May I throw out a thought? This time last year Carra said we were working on signing Isak. Sounded crazy at the time - but it happened.
Not a single journalist gave the story currency until Isak went on strike. I think we are extremely lucky to have Carra, Ned and Robbo's intel here.
23 Jul 2026 02:43:43
I'm willing to bet that Diomande is an expert at the hokey-cokey... in, out, in, out, sprinkle in some doubt....
23 Jul 2026 08:33:56
I heard a rumour, (that's a clue that it was from one of Banananarama but I can't say which one apart from she used to walk out with the famous one out of Wham!) that Trent Alexander Arnold has been learning English so a return is on the cards.
He's not very good, but he's been watching loads of Mind Your Language videos to improve. It'll probably be the season after next season when he's fluent enough to come home, mind.
But, fret ye not, because Doni Iraola was a right back, is fluent in English and Spanish, and reckons he can do a better job than the eight right backs we used last season until The Prodigal Son (or Hijo) returns.
Doni has also said that he doesn't want TAA back until he has learnt to spell his surname correctly. He can make allowances for the fans of his new club misspelling his name, because of Brexit and the BBC pulling the plug on El Dorado, but he won't tolerate it from a fellow Spaniard even though he's a Basque, himself.

"Yeah ed002 was a bit much sometimes".
Oh no she wasn't.
23 Jul 2026 08:44:43
Wont hear a bad word about Ed002. He just didn't tolerate nonsense.
23 Jul 2026 11:05:17
And God bless him, Jaws.
