    Joao Paulinha

    I agree that he's not the most exciting player as such, doesn't do many sparkly things. But would be a very functional player. And more importantly he's an actual DM whereas Bentancur and Bissouma aren't imo and haven't been able to develop into that either (so far). A loan with an option would...

    Joao Paulinha

    My preference definitely would be more of a playmaker type, but if we can't get that I think Palhlinha makes a lot of sense. Good age profile for our young squad assuming not massively expensive. A natural "DM". A real pain to play against in more ways than one. Would perhaps struggle a bit...

    Transfer thread

    For VdV and his hamstrings a more defensive LB role may make more sense than playing LB under Ange. Both Porro and Spence can play as the more attacking full back on the right with both Kudus and Kulusevski being a good fit for inverting from the right wing. We do also have Gray. I know people...

    Luka Vuskovic

    Will probably get some tougher tests of his defensive abilities during prep season, then perhaps a decision can be made on loan or not. Doubt Frank has made his mind up quite yet.

    Morgan Gibbs-White

    I think that's most likely. And in a way perhaps we did something wrong, but it's something that also happens with most transfers with most clubs. The idea that a release clause can be in a contract and kept confidential to me seems naive. To be pursuing this like they're doing I think will...

    Morgan Gibbs-White

    What I meant is that he's unlikely to play this out in public before it's more settled. He's imo very unlikely to get into a back and forth in public when it's still up to the PL/legal stuff/whatever to decide.

    Morgan Gibbs-White

    There's probably a lot the club COULD say. But Levy isn't going to play something like this out in public. Hope it gets done, really like him. I'm guessing it's mostly grandstanding from them, but that's very much just a guess. But if they manage to drag it out enough it causes issues for us...

    Mohammed Kudus

    Welcome. Please be excellent. Looking forward to seeing him play for us and to see what Frank can help him become.

    Transfer thread

    A Maddison alternative has been a priority, but not the biggest priority. Assuming we complete Kudus and MGW I'm guessing that means either we have quite a lot of money left to spend or Frank thinks Gray and Bergvall are very much ready for a quick and solid impact this season. Could be that...

    Morgan Gibbs-White

    Like most of you really excited about this (still potential) signing, been impressed every time I've seen him (admittedly not that many times) going back to at Wolves. The Maddison alternative we so missed last season. With the work rate to play different roles. Real technical wonderful player.

    Transfer thread

    Yeah, really struggling to see us paying that much for a player that's soon 29. Also not seeing how Brentford would expect to get that for a 29 year old with a year left on his contract and one standout season.

    Mohammed Kudus

    Agreed. Said this in the transfer thread too, but it's about identifying those players capable of stepping up in a better team and who fit what the manager needs. Good profile fit for what we're short on in our squad. Good age, PL experience and we need a bit of that. If he's also one to step...

    Kota Takai

    Welcome. Seems like a real talent. Will be interesting to see what Frank makes of our young talents at CB and if any of them are included in the first team squad this season.

    Sounds like some terrible experiences. Trying to think what that must have been like as a child and though both my imagination and empathy fail to fully understand it what I do understand creates both pain, sadness and anger on your behalf. Hope you're doing well now, a massive congratulations...

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Sorry to hear that about your experience (assuming I read your post correctly). Anger from parents towards sons as a good way toughen them up is for me another one of those issues I wish more people would speak up about loudly and clearly and without deflections.
