Ghisolfi talk.

Tbf I think Villa are the only side that could offer him more than us at this point. Getting Europa has seriously increased our chances with any potential new player!

Depends if they value european football over money (I doubt he does!). Someone like Spurs have about 3 times our budget and could therefore blow us out the water unfortunately. Same with Chelsea or the even the Mags.

Mayenda, Adingra, Seelt, Mundle, Browne, Pattinson, and maybe even Wilson, would bring in quite a bit on top of what the initial transfer budget for next season would be.

I've full faith in Ghisolfi and the recruitment team to use the war chest well to kick us on.

Exactly, look at what they got last season for not a lot of money. Mukiele, Reinildo and Alderete last than 25m unbelievably. And there's no AFCON next season.

It's only a joke.
I would like them though.
Let's see if someone can break Bournemouth's resolve.

I know not many people will like this but I would not be surprised if they replaced RLB before the new season starts, the project is ruthless and anyone could depart to make it happen.

Have you been to Brisbane recently?

We had two plans for after the play off. Look how plan A worked out! If we had two plans prior to the end of this season - fuck knows how good plan A will be this time! Because we’ve needed plan A twice now, can’t f***ing wait.

We need more like 7-8 given a few will go

I rekon you’re right with this.

1 - RB / CB - Geertruida
2 - CB - left sided CB
3 - LB - To replace Cirkin
4 - 6 - Holding CM
5 - 7 - hopefully not but if one of Sadika/Diarra going.
6 - RW - first choice
7 - LW - first choice
8 - CF - replacement if Mayenda leaves
9 - CF - replacement if Isidor leaves

A mate of mine was at the senior supporters talk on Sunday before the match which was given by Ghisolfi. Someone asked how the club would cope if they got into Europe. Ghisolfi said they were well aware that they would be moving to Thurs/Sunday football and they would need a first team squad of 21. He said they currently had a first team ready group of 16 which I assume meant that the likes of Mayenda, Ta Bi, Jones were often in the squad but not considered first team ready (I get that the numbers may be questionable but that's what he said apparently). He said they had two plans, one for Europe and one for not achieving Europe. I know this is pretty obvious but it takes away some of the concerns. The club are very much on it. It may explain the talk of Mayenda. For all his potential it may be that they are looking to get decent value for him and replace him with someone who is closer to the finished article.

GK - Roefs, Patterson
RB - Hume
RCB - Ballard, Mukiele
LCB - Alderete, O'Nien
LB - Reinildo
CDM - Xhaka
RCM - Sadiki, Diarra
LCM - Le Fee, Rigg
RW -
LW - Angulo
ST - Brobbey, Isidor

So that's 16 players there. Obviously I've left Patterson in and he may well be sold but home grown quota is a thing. I've also left out Ta Bi and Ellborg (as well as Matty young) who could play a part. Looking at that squad though I think we will sign a RB, LB, CDM and two wingers or one winger and one striker because Isidor can play LW.

Note - we have been linked with Wan-Bissaka and I think he would be an exceptional addition to the squad and how we play. I don't think kondogbia would be the best move though because I'd prefer a development player under Xhaka... Hopefully that's Bouaddi.

Obviously dreaming but if I were to pick the players myself and we keep the team together it would be:



RB - Wan-Bissaka

LB - Bard

CDM - Bouaddi

RW - Amad

ST - Delap (loan)

Tom White also said he’d heard we’re targeting quality not quantity this summer.

It will be fascinating to see who the four or five quality additions are.

The key thing is their mentality and attitude. If you want to make it here you’ve got to give everything to your team and your coach. Anything less and you’ll be out the door. It’s brill.
