It’s all pointless anyway. I’d shit myself if Man City signed Messi and Bale this window, but they could both break legs in the Community Shield.
A good 95% of this forum is pointless and the ramblings of the lunatic fringe.

"next few weeks" lmfao.
Hmmmm who is this jabroni?
Our annual nobody from France.
Can we bet on him being loaned to Marseille in the 19/20 season?
Meh.
He'll get alot more games than Njie or NKoudou did for us. He was a pretty important player for Marseille last season in their EL run.
Pretty underwhelming though. Especially if that's IT for central midfielders. Still want Ndombele.
Made a comment before that he's pretty much French Aaron Ramsey.
Not really the case sadly.....there are loads of them, all sucking off Liverpool because they got battered by Real Madrid and finished below us
I think that's it. We largely dismiss rumours of players we are interested in depending on the source but then believe any rumour coming out about another club and their next big signing irrespective of where its come from.
For the last couple of years we have largely worked under the radar when buying players. We don't know and never will do what is going behind the scenes.
Having said that I always read this thread during the transfer windows for the same reason as many, I enjoy the hype and excitement that goes along with it.
I do think with Liverpool that as we are so often linked with the same players these days that we get more wound up than rumours for other clubs.
I would be more worried if Liverpool sorted out their GK and bought a decent CB to play alongside Van Dijk than bought another attacking player.

Spot on really. They are our rivals, and I think for the title next year it will be much closer between four teams - us, Liverpool, City and Utd. The thing is, Liverpool used to be ahead of us, we were not considered rivals by them. I remember them taking Keane off us even though Berbatov left the same summer. They tapped him up and there was fuck all we could do because they were the bigger club. It didn't work out for Keane and he came back but that again was us buying back their reject, it demonstrated again that they were much bigger than us. Pretty much since then we've overtaken them, they've spent the years looking up to us, even though they don't want to admit it, but they've improved under Klopp and now we're close rivals really. I personally think we will finish above them again next season, and they've had their CL luck getting to the final and they blew it. I really don't see them going a step further any time soon, it will not be much harder for them to get as for as the final again. We haven't had our final yet, we're building up to it with genuine potential. Maybe we'll have some luck one year and go all the way and win it. But yeah, we're rivals. I don't think they are as good as us, frankly, but they are paying higher prices in the market, higher agent fees, and wages which evens things up a bit.
I'd fancy Poch to make something of Ramsey, in fairness.
I think he's the real deal and would love to see him at Spurs. I think he went to United for a camp last year? That would be a shame because he has so much potential.
Would actually be a good player to have on the roster.
Nice to see a Canadian chime in.
It's a potential low risk investment. He's 17 years old. Has all the attributes to be a star and would be relatively cheap.
Sign him up. Send him back on loan to Vancouver until the end of the MLS season and then get him back for Poch to mould him.
He's got a lot of us excited! When he's come on for the National team you can just see the whole team lift and he really looks good. He adds some pace and energy to the team that we otherwise lack (we lack a lot to be frank!)
It's difficult to know how he would do against better competition though. Running around and looking good in MLS is one thing, or playing internationals against CONCACAF opponents isn't really indicative of how he could do against better talent. But we have had some good players come from Canada, and he certainly looks like the next one for us.
Sanson would be the safer gamble.
Ndombele has 2 top flight seasons, one in which he played only 3 games. Where as Sanson, who is 2 years older just finished his 5th top flight season. With even stats to boot.
Ndombele would be a more "brave" and daring gamble. A Vincent Janssen/N'koudou style gamble based off of one good season. Not saying he is bad, he looks a player. But with Sanson we just have more data to go off of that indicates that he could make the move to the PL without going off the deep end.

I think people are really underrating their defence. They only brought in van Dijk in January and they concede 38 goals this season, only two more than us
