EMC had a very stop start season last season but we saw glimpses of what he's capable of. With a full pre-season under his belt under the current coaching set up I wouldn't be shocked if he hits double figures in goals and assists respectively next season.

We need to certainly have more competition at CB. Lati is far too slow to play in a high line and Binks isn't good enough defensively.

There's not really a lot in it defensively between the two really. Both have had suspect moments. Thomas is a lot better in the air though and wins more aerial duels. Personally I think against teams which play long Kitching is a serious weak link. Thomas is also a goal threat which offers us...

Kitching is fine for this level but people do vastly overrate him. He's slow, regularly overcommits himself, and isn't brilliant at tracking opposition. We need someone far more assured starting if we're going to stop conceding silly goals as a collective back line.

His follower count means very little really. This could still be his agent playing silly buggers to pressure other clubs to join the race.

The only reason why Sakamoto's fee was relatively modest because his former club was literally on the cusp of going bust - for reference it now doesn't exist.

I don't think people are really. Apart from a certain braindead breastfeeder from Earldson. However, he categorically can't continue missing huge chunks of the season otherwise it's pointless retaining him. If he can rediscover the form shown season before last while remaining fit for...

I was about to say a lot of these comments sound like bitterness because he's on his way out rather than a true reflection of his ability. Some of the more sensible posters recognise his value and don't want to see him go. Given his age I think he'd be a shrewd signing.

He didn't really do a job in the PL when he was playing in the PL. Moments of magic, mostly horribly inconsistent and has a habit of going missing in games. Time will tell whether it'll be a good signing at this level, not really sure his name alone qualifies him as such before he's kicked a ball.

In terms of transfer fees received, by the time the window ends I would imagine they would've brought in well over £100m

The only two realistically that would be able to afford him are Juventus and possibly Napoli. Juventus have Vlahović and want to bring back Kolo Muani. Albeit the former has been linked with a move away this summer. Napoli need to move on Osimhen, but will still have Lukaku - although he's...

It's not an easy decision and given his record, and really the lack of available strikers currently out there which aren't being touted for £100m+, they'll want to maximise the fee within the realms of what they deem as realistic. However, lets be honest we live in an age where more often than...

Difficult really with the stance he and Sporting have taken though. He clearly wants to leave and I think he'll push through a move.

Isn't it fairly obvious what the question marks are? Doubts around his ability to translate his form in a fairly significantly inferior league to the PL, he's 27 and therefore has no real room for further development and his price tag is being deemed as inflated.

From what I've heard Sesko has always been Arsenal's primary target since last summer. Things can of course change at the drop of a hat in a transfer window, but I'd be very surprised if he ended up there.

Yeah I mean I'm sure they're probably trying to sell as many players which are surplus to requirements. But I'm more playing devils advocate in that it doesn't necessarily mean he'll 100% leave before 30th June - like I said they need to make a big money sale so that will be their priority.

To an extent. The drug baron's son was picking their transfers in the first couple of windows which is why they wasted so much money on crap. I'd rather we went into it with a bit more of a strategic focus as it could've gone terribly for them.

He was signed for the U23s really but Bouwe Bosma was a weird one. To the point where even he didn't seem to understand why we were interested.

His fee would make little difference to PSR really. It looks like they need to make a significant sale to ensure they comply - i.e. Martinez.

It was that era where bringing in ginormous strikers was the in thing. John Parkin, Zidic, Márkó Futács, Darius Henderson etc. Even now I could see why we signed him.
