Bill Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 We have enough cover for left wingers, it's a right winger we need to be chasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He nor Harrison are exclusively left wingers - both often play from the right (same with Sinisterra who we’re also linked to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 I think the biggest problem with us trying to get Gnonto was the structure of the deal, rather than the overall fee. So if we sell Iwobi and/or Gray, that should allow us to offer better terms. Newty82 and AlbanyNYToffee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That certainly seems to be the case - just seen ‘EFC confident once Iwobi money is in’ - I hope so but this could be the ever so familiar deadline day story for us for this year! We tried and tried and tried but ended up with Jesse Lingard on a free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWooney Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 reports in Italy have previously proven pretty unreliable for Gnonto news. He's been on his way a number of times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got chat GPT to write me cover letters and a CV. A clickbait article is 30s work. You can literally go to AI and say "write an opinion piece based on this tweet", provide the link and done. 30s work.
