    I’m off to my step-father’s funeral later today. He was a good old guy, and a gooner too. Not really looking forward to the day.

    In other news I think someone is brigading me cuz I was talking about nuclear fission power needing to be considered an option and not just discarded out of fear and now every single one of my comments from like the past day has a downvote on it, lol.

    Brentford away is a really poor draw in the Carabao cup. They’re a tricky opponent, so will actually be a test. Plus they’re a London team with a fairly small stadium, so I won’t have enough away credits to get a ticket.

    Just realised that Partey and Tomi are gonna be gone for January cuz AFCON / AFC Asian cup (which Hong Kong has made!!! Finally!!!)

    We really need another player in defence.

    On this day Mikel and Per joined the team, and the rest is history.

    Do we think there will be any more outgoings today and tomorrow?

      Outgoings yea, incomings is what I’m thinking about. I doubt the likes of Cedric would be happy completely not playing for a few months. I think Holding will head to Spain, we’ll sort something out for Lokonga, Tavares will officially leave, and Pepe will take a few more days. Cedric is anyone’s guess cuz I’ve not heard anyone interested. Okonkwo I hope gets one for his sake, and Elneny will stay. That’s what I think at least.

    Queseda-Thorn getting a senior call up for Costa Rica. Assume it’s to lock him in? Feel like they’ve gotta have better players to call up than an 18 year old youth player lol

      I swear it was a 1M loan fee, no? Also apparently the option can become mandatory and has 3m addons looking at Romano

        I was getting this from Insta, which just reposts all of his tweets, so it’s very possible that just wasn’t reflected there. But 1 + 12M would still be disappointing for him at the end, so I hope he really impresses and gets at least 20M.

          I mean, I feel like 16M total isn’t that bad if he reaches it. Sure it’s not the best but it’s a decent profit for a player who is simply not our level after the past season of crazy growth
