Hi fellas.
Still expecting the Soule bid but the Kone situation is holding it up. Chelsea may force our hand on Kone. Too many moving pieces for our impotent transfer team to handle.
As I said, Sarr is the last resort which is why it hasn't been done already.
31 Aug 2026 12:58:24
Soule would be a terrible buy for us.
Adds nothing we don't already have and nothing we need (physicality, pace, energy, pressing).
Probably is who Hughes is looking at then.
31 Aug 2026 13:09:05
Chelsea in for Kone -
He would suit us well.
31 Aug 2026 13:11:04
It'll be Barcola and that's it. Hopefully, the FSG out banners will be out before we're mid table at Christmas.
31 Aug 2026 13:11:30
I disagree. Soule would be an excellent buy. Can play either wing or central attacking. Has good dribbling, crossing and is hard working. Also fairly equal with both feet.
31 Aug 2026 13:12:29
Not bad, young left-footed RW with decent stats in Serie A. Good backup/competition for Munoz, imo. But I don't think the transfer team is competent enough to get him or other decent wingers.
31 Aug 2026 13:19:55
Yeah, because FSG have done nothing to make us batter at all in the last decade.
What is wrong with you people?
31 Aug 2026 13:41:25
I have a suspicion that the FSG Out poster is Harry. Has his style!
31 Aug 2026 13:43:57
I never said Soule was bad, but he is a bad fit for us. How does he add balance to the team? He is simply not what we need. Some team would need a technical player like him, but that is certainly not what we need.
Our "last resort" Sarr would be a ten times better option.
Minteh is far better again, though.
Estevao is an interesting option from a player perspective, but his injury record is just too scary for me. If he stays fit, I love it, but I still wouldn't do it with the injuries. Head ruling the heart kind of decision.
31 Aug 2026 13:51:09
Dick, I guarantee there will be no FSG out banners.
31 Aug 2026 13:58:03
Good user name though.
31 Aug 2026 14:01:19
Thing is, Fonz, whereas it's very hard to argue that FSG haven't been good owners, any good will is eroded very quickly if we continue to get poor results and have failed to address the glaring issues in the squad, particularly when you consider they have been evidently happy for Richard Hughes to oversee the transfer window for his new employer whilst still under contract here and apparently still supposedly working for the club.
The optics of that whilst collecting a billion quid for 38% of the club are not good whichever way you look at it.

Joyce saying we're most likely done this window. Can't help but feel we're leaving Iraola short. Would really love Camara or Kone, and the RB situation feels perilous. Have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of Dom at RB until the winter...
31 Aug 2026 14:47:37
Iraola has been left short. Weak and soft in midfield and woeful in fullback positions. We'll concede too many goals to make a title challenge and we don't have a strong enough squad to win a cup. Priority has to be top four.
31 Aug 2026 14:48:10
We also have a traffic Kone for RB?
Bradley has just done his first LFC interview in French?
His first congratulatory text was from Hugo - "you're only keeping it warm for me", as the vicar said to the virgin actress?
31 Aug 2026 14:56:58
I will not take Joyce's words until it is over.
There are several pieces that can make us bring in additional two players between now and tomorrow evening.
31 Aug 2026 15:01:46
I disagree with us not needing a technical winger. If Soule comes, we have 2 similar profiles for each wing:
Soule & Ngumoha
Barcola & Munoz
But what Soule can do with his left-foot wand is a secondary attacking playmaker. He can either dribble with finesse and cross, or he can ping a one touch throughball/floater that releases Barcola and/or Isak. That helps us utilise Barcola's burst behind the defence. This catches the opposition off guard before they could drop deep to organize.
If Ngumoha adds that to his locker, Munoz would capitalise as well.
Helps free space and time for Wirtz to do his magic as well. Add to that the 3rd man running into the box by Szobo/Grava, we would have a wide range of arsenal in attack.
But for the cherry on top, we would need a stable and disciplined 6/8 to support the attacks and especially shield our CBs. Camara would be that cherry, hopefully.

Half a season, a bit light to sort the boys from
The men may not be a bad thing. Maybe Trey steps up, maybe Dom settles at RB. I have no doubt that Munoz and Araujo will do
Good things.
