How about actively trying to sell Costa to help fund a winger?

We have a very strange desperation to try to cling on to players.

Sell bit part players to bring in better players? We never seem to do that its really weird.
how do you know we're not trying to actively sell him?

also, if we just blanket come out with we're desperate to get rid of Costa, we're going to invite teams trying lowball us and get him on the cheap

O'Brien 👍done deal, still in talks but going well for Cunha, and Nandez, Nandez preferred move Leeds wants English Premiership football, Europe the goal for you're club and Bielsa this season, just wish my own club had the same ambitions, won't go anywhere until that fat cockney twat is out the club though.

See as few aren't happy with O'brien, think he may prove a few doubters wrong, just my opinion but all the best Bongo1874 👍.

Matheus Cunha has been left out of Hertha's squad for today's match.

A transfer now seems very likely...however Atletico Madrid appear to be the current front-runners.

The boss is at The Etihad.

City have no games today, he isnt scouting.

Dinner with Pep . . . .

Bernardo Silva incoming? :shock:
Would seem Marcelo was at the Etihad for a bit of lunch with his friend Pep then :(

we so lack quality in our squad its frightening. looks like the window will pass us by without any signing. i mean to get rid of leif davies & Aliosky so thats 2 LB and all we get is Firpo. what happens when he is injured??? looks like the versatile Dallas will be filling in, very dissapointing with the recruitment this window, still 3 quality players short of improving on our league position last year.

Yep, it has been a shite transfer window thus far. A couple of injuries to our key players, then we really are down to the bare bones. In such a league, we have to strengthen and show intent. As expressed before, if Radz doesn't have the means to this, then he seriously needs to consider selling up.

I'm also siding on it being a disappointing window. I know MB makes average players into great players, but the lack of depth when suspensions and injuries ultimately come along scare me somewhat. I'm hoping there's a 4/8/10 CM to come in still but ultimately it would seem unlikely. Just hoping MB sees something in our better U23s that he thinks can plug the gap.

Apparently Bate played a blinder at 4/8/10 in the U23s defeat today.

And Phil Hay and the Celtic forums say we're signing Hjelde shortly.

A year to tread water in mid-table and all our Christmases come at once.

Keep the faith ye unbelievers. :)

Would hope given how highly rated he seems to be by people in the know and the fee we paid that he would be seen as capable of making the step up very quickly, especially if injuries bite.

Oh dear god :cry:

Pleased for Forshaw to have got some fitness back but he is a midfielder who doesnt score goals or create goals.

He has become a better.player since he got injured, the way some people talk about him you would think he was prime Xavi and vital to our team under Bielsa.

In reality he has played less games than Barry Douglas.

No ill will towards him but its a joke to suggest he is the midfielder we need.

A very average Championship player who reminds me of Eunan O'Kane and a clear indication of the clubs lack of ambition.

At least they admitted it outright I guess, rather than lying and pretending there was no one available. :roll:

The real worry for me is we haven't replaced Pablo at all, a real genius with the ball who can see something from nothing. We only have Raph on that wavelength. Although I do believe Bogusz is that player, I hope he has a future here.
