There's a distinct lack of rumours right now, surely we haven't finished. We can only hope we remain focused and don't start jerking our knees.

We focusing on selling, see if we can generate extra funds before going all in on our big target.

Or the people that normally leak things are either no longer with the club or are not in the dressing room. Generally I think these things have been much better over the summer.

I would expect there to be lots going on behind the scenes lining up multiple deals even if just looking at opportunities and not all come through.

We have one game a week and the squad is bloated. We need to sell players to reduce the squad size.

Not sure we will another big signing, maybe a goalkeeper in these last few weeks.

The problem lies with who we wish to sell and everybody knows we need to sell.

Sancho: As is his right, he clearly wants to sit on his contract and leave for nothing - he has his hand and will play it his way.

Garnacho: I believe Chelsea are focusing more on Simons atm and will probably make a bid of no more than £30m right near or at the end of the window.

Hojlund: I know there's plenty of talk about Milan and £30m, but I cannot see Milan paying for him right now - I only see a loan.

Antony: Betis want him, but won't pay even his book value. I don't see him leaving for a Saudi club and Leverkusen surely won't fall for ten Hag's whimsy - I only see a loan.

Malacia: Roma are taking the p***, but I see no alternative - just a loan again.

In terms of exits, we are hamstrung and will likely be very frustrated.
I expect the suggested exits to dominate the rest of our window and stymie our prospects of any more arrivals. It's difficult to be positive about what we can do with the aforementioned.

Or, hear me out, they (players) start to panic because they will miss one year of football, miss the WC and lower their next club options and wages, and finally accept Besiktas/ Roma/ Juve/ Saudi offers.

sancho is a disgrace of a footballer. I can't see why anyone would want him given his character. World cup year and this guy cares none if he plays or not.

agree with dodgy need to trim the squad and for once get people out and gone. These guys are hard to shift and must be a nightmare for the club.

every other team seems to shift a lot of ins and outs we are stuck and can't get the out done.

Ahmed I suspect he knows he isn't playing for England.
In fact it should be a term of the employment contract for any future England manager, that if they so much as have a thought about using that flake, their contract is terminated.
I actually can't think of a player in the last 40yrs who has stooped to the levels of Sancho.

My mam’s hairdresser said that Snijgederouer was in for a haircut yesterday, and he was talking on the phone about helicopters to Manchester ?.

Argentina squad for upcoming games out and no Garnacho. hopefully this makes it clear for him that he needs to make the right choice if he stands a chance of getting in the squad.

Sancho . no chance for him so the freedom fighter can choose what he wants.

Malcia I think we will get a small fee for but even if one final loan to run deal down not a huge problem.

Antony is an odd one how no other Spanish club has come in for even with his desire to go back to Betis. Just tell them the price. take or move on. If not loan him elsewhere

Hojlund will be loan with buy option.

Maybe getting the salaries off will clear some space and use some other facility to bring in a midfielder.

Next door's missus is having it off with the postman.

Wrong type of rumour to fill the void?

I agree on Sancho. I think we need to take the bullet and get rid of this pos. on Garna I would keep if they lowball us. he is young and needs a good kick up the ass and will be okay.

20 mill is peanuts and surprised no one is in for him including some pl teams. His next wage where ever he goes will not be more than a 100k but red lights must be flashing with this guy when other teams look at him.
