It won’t happen but I think Cunha would be a really good player for us.
Thanks for clarifying what a bellend you are

I would be ok trading him in for duran if a silly money offer comes in for him

Im a bellend because my opinion is different  to you.

That makes so much sense you muppet 😂

It really undermines the insult if you fuck up the quote.

Also, not really necessary, IMO. DC is okay, he's just slightly prone to catastrophising. 🙂

We won’t buy anybody in January except for bargains basement kids.

Stop getting your hopes up.

Well if “bargain basement kids” includes what Rogers was last year then count me in.

Yes I would love our scouting to do that!

I’m talking about people thinking we’ll make “big” signings.

I woke up this morning after dreaming we'd sold Ollie Watkins for 60 million (to Arsenal), replacing him with two highly rated young South American strikers (30 million quid each).  Dream or no dream, it's certainly made me think - in the here and now, would such business make sense?  Maybe it would?

Well on the basis Ollie has performed for seasons with us, including a truly exceptional one last season, it wouldn’t make sense to me.

Yes it would, although I’d strongly advise treating your subconscious to something a bit more interesting!

Yep, it would be a huge, FFP-driven gamble, Ollie's been brilliant.

On the basis everyone seems to be in a total panic because we have more than one striker to keep happy, I'm not sure adding another one is the biggest priority.

Maresca completely dropped  madueke from the squad. Horrible treatment by the manager.

Id put a offer in and see what happens. I think he is a top player

Sounds good to me, unless there's some behind the scenes stuff we don't know about.

No it wouldn’t.
Duran has a lot more to do to prove that he won’t make waves to get away to the first elite European team that flutters their eyelashes at him.  Even with the fat new contract he just signed. Imagine Ollie gone and a sulky Duran. Despite his exceptional goal scoring and recently improved all round play he is still not the full team player as he proved yesterday with his free kick antic.
BTW I would like to see him given a few free kicks but currently it is clear it is not part of the match day instruction. Perhaps he is still to prove his free kick qualities at BMH
