Yes, agreed. I can see this being a tricky scenario but maybe would allow us to let Igor move back to Italy and recoup his fee. However, would it impact on JPVH’s development. Perhaps it would help him playing alongside Hummels by giving Dunky a few breaks during the season.

Doubt we can afford both, especially if we are also signing Gomez.

I’d be happy with that

35 years old. Probably out of contract. Could be a Milner type 12 month contract with a potential further year extension. Although I think it’s unlikely, maybe he wants a go at the Premier League before retirement and our upper hand would be a German manager. Still think it won’t happen.

One of the best players of spin bowling ever. Beautiful shot player. RIP

Be very careful of pickpockets on Las Ramblas. Otherwise, great city

Cant see this happening. I think agents name drop BHA now to garner interest from other clubs.

Gilmour will be gone as he just doesn’t have the attributes that Fabian wants. He does have excellent passing skills but we need more for our developed style. I also wonder whether there is a bit more openness to a transfer away from the club after what he went through when he was brought in…...

I think that yesterday’s game shows that we need to keep a creative player, like Facundo. It’s ok playing an intense, aggressive press and having the players to do this such as Minteh, Adingra etc but sometimes you need a player who can pick a pass. I think Osman looks like a player who would...

I think from Fab’s comments afterwards that he was focusing on our pressing and keeping a clean sheet. Friendlies are exactly for this type of work. In the first half QPR could barely get out of their own half.

Yes, the pressing was very impressive. Pressing in packs and winning the ball back quickly. Didn’t give QPR much chance to have sustained pressure. ( Minteh very impressive in that respect) In terms of possession we were too impatient at times IMHO.

Yes, there’s a really significant change in style I think. We are getting the ball forward far quicker and our pressing is very intense (Minteh really helps with that). Sometimes I think we need to just look to change the tempo a bit in midfield. Baleba is not a full back but I still think he...

We aren’t going to be risking anyone with even the slightest injury which is why I expect Barco isn’t there.

Precisely. Terrible source. Plus Toney is potentially available for £20-30m, late in the window. The big 6 know that Pedro would be a very expensive option due to his contractual situation. Plus from our perspective, why sell now? Better to keep him for at least another season. Keep him fit...

Dunk won’t be there as he’s been training in Marbella with Declan Rice and a personal trainer. Back Monday I think so hopefully some minutes next Saturday.

Let’s not forget that Mateta is also entering the last couple of years of his contract and that he is of interest to Villa. Should be plenty of funds for that new stand.

Beat me to it!

If we do bid again, surely it’s our last one. If it’s a ‘no’ then we need to move on. I expect his dream move was Man United but they seem to have set their sights elsewhere in terms of a full back.

Yes, this is what I see as our challenge this year in terms of fitting Enciso in, let alone Facu. I think FH will rotate Enciso with Mitoma on the left and Adingra and Minteh on the right. We have three players vying for the centre forward position in Welbeck, Pedro and Ferguson ( when fit)...

Yep, end of week apparently. We’ll see.
