I don't think the lesser Ayew is any good but Neil Taylor is a cancerous little worm so swapping a third choice left back for a winger to add to the Narsingh/Routledge/Dyer/Barrow shitshow is a good move (even when Jenkins throws away £5m on top).

Honestly I can only assume the original he copy+pasted had emojis as variables for the various percentages which didn't make it to twitter. I also like the use of curly braces mixed with parentheses for no obvious reason

Saw him play for the first time yesterday, he seems quite good in the Jupiler Pro League too! Arrived on Wednesday, started and scored in an important game against rivals on Sunday. Not too bad :)

Sweet, I wish him all the best, he was always great for us, fantastic work rate especially (stereotype alert!).

Taylor's swap deal is cunningly designed to screw Wrexham out of the 10% sale profit they're entitled to.

Wonder if they'll sue like Utrecht did. Swansea are a scum club.

Payet was only ever linked to Arsenal because he and Wenger are both French and Wenger loves attacking mids. There was never any traction to the story.

He's only gone and done a Payet. (assuming it is the real Ulloa account)


edit: oh and Southampton are buying Manolo Gabbiadini apparently.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/30/southampton-napoli-manolo-gabbiadini

quote:

Southampton have agreed a deal with Napoli to sign Manolo Gabbiadini for £14.6m with a further £2.6m in performance-related bonuses. The two clubs have been discussing a potential deal for weeks, with the Serie A team turning down an offer of an initial £13.7m with £3.4m in add-ons last week.

Gabbiadini is good and is sort of blocked at Napoli, if he gets playing time I think he'll do well.

Watch him be poo poo, of course.

They got screwed. He's been playing poo poo.

Saponara from Empoli to Fiorentina is a done deal for ~9m I wished for a no 10 and I got one. Now for a good solid right back...

Kevin Diks back to Vitesse on loan is a done deal

Someone come get Badelj please. Or at least shut his agent up. He's been talking less and less but Fiorentina historically have had poo poo agents (Salah and Badelj at the tip of my tongue) but gently caress him.


Maybe a few more minor signings (literally) and that's our window. Hopefully the purple can make without our better goal-per-man bites player because he was definitely a super sub. I hope Zarate has a great time at Watford and that his wife recovers well.

I'll take Gabbiadini even if he is a bit poo poo. Our only fit striker is Shane Long, Austin is still out for a while and Rodriguez can't be count on to stay fit.

We've not spent a nickel in transfer fees this year. Covered incoming players with outgoings and parachute payments. Westwood off to Burnley for 5m as we speak.
