Just feeling a little concerned about our direction in this transfer window. It feels like JM is opting for a complete reshape of the team. All well and good if you have the players to do it. He’s brought in two of his former Salzburg team to bolster the ranks and they look like interesting acquisitions. However, if there is one thing we have learned, or should have learned, is that this is a most unforgiving league, and this is why we need to temper our young bloods with a couple of seasoned performers at this level. Even a couple of top Championship players, who have mastered the intense demands of a 46 game season, would be a good option. We know the names and we are seeing the players out there. Brereton-Diaz, Harry Wilson, Brennan Johnson are well worth looking at and have the strengths to manage the demands of the Premier League. I wouldn’t give up on Connor Gallagher or even Christian Eriksen. But I do feel that a change of playing style, a change of personnel, a transfer out of key players and an absence of proven Premier League experience will cost us dear.

Romano saying Leeds Marc Roja deal has been agreed. 12m Euros + Add ons on a 4 year deal.
^^^^^
Good news as looks like City are very serious about
wanting Kalvin. Would not be surprised if KP's gone
by next week.

Well Ive yet to see us offer KP a new contract so you cant really blame him if he goes.

I read that he rejected a new contract (he has one in place). That left his options open. Can't blame him.
And if he does go, wish him only the best as a Leeds
and England player.

Personally I think KP would stay given the right contract. Losing KP and Raph would be a huge blow

Southgate needs to fck off and take his waistcoast
and negative fcking sh_te with him. Mastered the
sideways and backwards pass. God awful.

Get a grip people, this is a meaningless kick about at the end of a tough season. Southgate is doing his due diligence here, looking at his options and no doubt planning the road ahead. England were desperately unlucky not to win the Euros last year. They will be bringing home the bacon this time around. Getting rid of him now would be a huge mistake, unless they bring in Bielsa. Now, that I would like to see.

I seem to remember England smashing Germany 5-1 in Germany many years ago, ahead of WC2002. Guess who won that tournament?

That's what the FA's PR department are also saying.
We're f_cked.

So you're unhappy about us signing players with CL experience, but want us to go after players who have "mastered" long campaigns, yet cite Brennan Johnson who has, what, one full season of championship football? I'd absolutely love to sign him, but it's unrealistic.
PL experience is a myth. You don't need it. Wolves has hardly any when they recorded multiple top half finishes, Burnley had loads last season.
