Guehi just about to sign for City  20 million

Two players we were after go to City.

Feck.

At this point I'm certain they go after players not because they need them but just so their rivals don't strengthen. They're getting him for only around £20m too.

Not sure if Guehi even gets in City's first 11. He was guaranteed a spot in our 11 which is why I thought he'd hold off for us. He'll regret signing for City in the long run.

He’s a smart defender but not a towering defender, would not have really helped on corners. Still, at 20 million he would have been better than our backups.

Truth is we lost him in the summer not in this window. We simply can't match Man City's wages, apparently Guehi will be on £300k per week. We should have got him (and Semenyo) while City wasn't in the race. Once they're in it though there's no matching them.

Honestly someone not being mentioned enough but has a lot of blame to carry for our downfall is Richard Hughes. We overspent in the summer and instead of improving we declined, while better and cheaper options were available on the market. That's on him.

In summer we should've focused more on getting guehi+Semenyo rather thay Isak, I think we probably would've even been left off with a few extra mil.

The echo saying we didn't view him as a market opportunity this month  what kind of rubbish is that. We could have done with him tbh as hes a good proven player in this league. Il be sick if we give Konate a ridiculous deal because hes stringing us along and this just boosts his hand. I hate the way we go all out for a player and when it doesn't go to plan we just walk away.

I really hope we have someone else decent lined up as an injury to either CH could cost us top 4.

Konate should have been sold in the summer, ridiculous he’s still here serving up $*i*e performances and acting like he’s got one foot out of the door.

We've been linked with Kees Smit from Alkmaar.. he's been regarded as the future of Dutch football. He plays in midfield either as a 6, 8 or 10. Hes a brilliant ball carrier and very technical. Hes probably the best 19 year old not playing at a high profile club.

Only problem is Newcastle want him this window, and Real Madrid want him in the summer.

another link to a Dutch player? FFS Slot is a liability! Injury prone Van De Ven, now this dude.

Seems like we are only looking at young CH's for some reason which is a gamble. Not forgetting Leoni is quite young also and like this lad will be making a massive step up.

Hard to believe they would be letting Slot identify players to sign unless they are fully behind him even beyond the summer.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has reportedly been told to LEAVE Real Madrid by Alvaro Arbeloa.

According to a bombshell report from Spanish publication El Nacional, Arbeloa sat down with Alexander-Arnold for a frank conversation and told him to find a new club for his own good.

It's added that the former Liverpool star isn't part of Real's furture plans and Bernabeu chiefs want him to leave.

Absolutely no sympathy for Trent at all. He knew the type of club he was joining so its a Trent problem. The salty bit for us is that they will get a fortune for him when they sell.

Why are we dragging our feet in signing a CH. We needed one 1st day the window opened so why are we waiting till the last week. If we are waiting till the summer for some silly reason then at least get a DM in now. We need to tighten up at the back and give ourselves a chance of winning games.
