Big match this weekend?

Ben Knight had spells on the fringes of the team now he's gone to Stockport:-/ bit of a drop

BBC -
Paris St-Germain may offer 20-year-old Netherlands midfielder Xavi Simons, who is on loan at RB Leipzig, as part of a swap deal for Manchester City's 29-year-old Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva.

If Bern wants to leave then this is 100% the deal we need to be looking at!

Simons is no replacement for Bernie, he flatters to deceive.

I know he's well thought of, just not at our level - too precious. Barca let him go for a reason, bit like Ansu Fati.

Allegedly the Saudis want to give us 100 mill for KDB. He's 33 in June.

With a million quid a week, a few bottles of factor 50 shouldn't be an issue!!

With a million quid a week - tax free - he could get Ambre Solaire to create a factor 500 for him!

Here’s something to cheer us all up on a Monday morning. A cracking goal from Echeverri.

Anybody know about this interest in Joshua Kimmich?

I work with a Bayern fan, he's hoping someone comes in for Kimmich, he can't stand the guy . says he is arrogant and petulant.

Well the other suiters according t'web are gooners, rags and murderers, sounds like he'd fit in nicely at at any of those.

Kimmich was a tidy player. Pep knows him from his time at Bayer so if Pep thinks he’s worth it, we’ll go for him.

I’d be a miserable cunt if I had to be managed by Tuchel as well.

Allegedly Pep and himself had a good relationship when Pep was there.
I think he would be a very useful player, can play in a few positions.
Having played under Pep before maybe he wouldn't need as much time to bed in.

Didn't Pep bring him to Bayern?

Too old for me. Looks like a rag type signing, no hunger and no sell on value. Its rare we sign players this age for big money. Kovacic the only recent player we signed this age and he was a cheap filler.
