Summer 2024 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Telegraph reporting that we want Maatsen.

A pacy young agile attacking LB/LWB in part exchange for Duran & some cash makes a lot of sense.

I hope this one happens as I like him a lot as a player.

It's the type of player I imagined we'd sign if we got into the CL before all the financial bollox kicked in.

Maatsen is a really talented player, although left back isn’t an obvious problem area.

The talk was that we would sign a left-back if either Moreno or Digne left, and we were open to either going, I think.

I love ‘Nduja on a pizza.

I like the idea of Maatsen.  I'd be happy enough to sell Moreno and keep Digne.

There's a mean pizza with pineapple that maestro Sorbillo in Naples has made. The key is no tomato, that sugars and acids clash is cursed as all hell. Smoked cheese and strong prosciutto with mozarella and roasted pineapple is very nice indeed, same idea as ham and melon.

I sometimes like pineapple on pizza and I do similar but I use nduja as the meat because I like the sweet and spicy combo.

I've always liked pineapple on pizza but I've always had it with pepperoni. The salty and sweet combo is sublime.

yeah that works as well, I just prefer nduja.

[Dogtanian]

The other half has nduja on pizza, but I can't because I don't know how to say it.

I think Emery is trying to make us significantly more dynamic and athletic across the pitch with the links so far. Maatsen and Illing Junior make our left side young and very fast, McKennie for all the jokes is a good athlete, quick, decent size and likes to drive with the ball. All the right back links are similar. Gallagher is a terrior like midfielder that never stops. I think he's trying to get more legs into the side. Which is fine, as long as you have a player or two that can also put their foot on the ball and calm it down. Dougie did that, we still need that type somewhere.

I was completely ignorant of this nduja till today, thought it was some kind of criminal network.

I was just thinking literally the only other 'Nd- word I've heard of is the Mafia bunch.

Is that like the Brady Bunch, only with more uses for cement?
