You have to be right at least once to have a track record though.

Apparently Rooney is going to sign with Derby County as a player/coach
Very true that. Maybe he'll shock us all and actually get something right one of these days.
We're apparently after Albian Ajeti from Basel (think he scored against United in the Champs League) and Santiago Ascaicibar who's an Argentinian DM who plays for Stuttgart and is pretty highly rated.
If we could get those 2 plus Cardoso, I'd be pretty happy with our window.

He's the Tom Morris/Damien Barrett/Jon Ralph/Craig Hutchison of the UK.

If Arsenal can sign Upamecano to add to Pepé, Ceballos and Saliba, it will be our greatest transfer window in years. If we fail to land a CB however, we will not finish top 4. Should be doing everything to secure Upamecano who I consider to be the next big thing at centre back in world football. Crucial few days for the club

Could see him patrolling the bench in a tracksuit, boots and cap like Tony Pulis.

Bojan KantKick has been released by Stoke. Hopefully BigFooty can re-sign him on a free.

I've read that this guy is reliable as far as Portuguese journos go, but who the **** knows anymore. This window has been so confusing for us.

United linked with Eriksen again, wonder if Spurs will sell and bring in Fernandes. Would be a good deal for both clubs.
I'd love Fernandes.

Getting people from the Portuguese league is fraught with Danger.. similar with the Eredivisie. I mean look at Ricky Van Wolfswinkel. Bas Dost also proves it after last season - banging in goals for fun but couldn't do that in Germany. Then you have Slimani for Leicester recently.
Dost wasn't terrible in Germany but he wasn't consistent either and Slimani was ruined by injuries. Either way though you're right about those two being suspect to get players from.

The reports seem to suggest that Eriksen is open to a move to United, so I could see that happening. Disagree that it would be a good deal for us though. In the way we play under Pochettino, Eriksen has probably been the most important player since Pochettino's been manager, and I don't see Fernandes as a like-for-like replacement. I'd rather Lo Celso in that role as well as someone like Fernandes, but I just can't see it happening in the space of four days.

If we get Fernandes and Lo Celso in then letting Eriksen go makes sense. If it’s just one in though then then that’s not really moving us forward you’d think

Thinking about Fernandes and Lo Celso deals, I’m pretty sure there’s no chance of it being both. Probably a ruse by Levy to make Betis accept a lower offer on Lo Celso.

Yeah, completely agree. Losing Eriksen and not replacing would be a genuine disaster. Losing him and replacing with Fernandes is probably goign backwards, while replacing him with Lo Celso will be treading water.
The only business I'm confident that we'll get done though is Sessegnon. Everything else seems to hinge on Eriksen at this stage.

Rare exceptions, but for those guys you can find another 20 that didn't work.

The only positive is that we need new blood - the current crop need a shake up plus Eriksen himself looks like he needs a change of scenery. If Levy really wanted to push our club forward he’d bring in both players though, but we know he won’t.
Same thing with Sessegnon, great signing but does nothing for the short term if it means we let Rose go
Assume Sessegnon signs, starting line up:
Lloris
Aurier Sanchez Vert Rose
Winks Ndombele Eriksen Dele in the diamond
Kane Son
Bench: Alder KWP Lucas Sess Foyth Gazz Lamela (when all fit)
one would assume Fernandes in means Eriksen out.
I doubt he's coming in to sit on the bench.
With so few days left before the first game, i'd focus on getting Sess in. Maybe a RB ready to go.
Hold Eriksen and work on a way to extend him. Even if its with an agreement we'll sell (set the buy out to 60-70m) next summer if a suitor comes
This close to game 1, replacing a key cog is not ideal
Kaveh didn't do it again did he?

Ah he deleted it because he was getting trolled hard. Basically he wrote about Kolscelny leaving and wondering if they were going to receive payments in installments.. a reference to the Pepe one when he was saying they only had 45m to spend so how could they afford him and the other guy. He's totally on melt mode.
Oh boy if true...
