I wouldn’t underestimate the pace of improvement of players from America - this current generation are the best by a long shot and many have already made the move to top European leagues (just look at the USMNT on Wikipedia)

Joel Robles confirmed by the club. Makes sense experienced cover for Meslier. I’m not so sure it does - he’s neither old (by GK standards) or particularly experienced (similar number of games to Meslier). Surely the remit here was a highly experienced pro, international caps etc, at the end of thei...

The 19-year-old will head to the Kassam Stadium to gain further experience within first team football, in a sid...

A couple of points for debate I’ve been thinking about recently: There seems to be a consensus of Adams OR Camara, but in my opinion we could do with both. This is primarily because: 1) We were short at DM last season with KP (look at what happened to us when he was injured, and Adams has had a poor...

Victor Orta - clear your calendar! Whichever way you look at it, it has to be revolving doors this transfer window.

Well folks, that window is a huge roll of the dice…

Aaronson has emerged as the number one target this window, and seems to fit the bill. This is one we can agree is concrete but it will be difficult to get over the line. Aside from that deal, I'd be happy to bring in Carvalho and Spence as options that fall between the Senior and U23 squad (especial...

Fabio Carvalho, John Swift and Eddie Nketiah are all out of contract in summer, and we already know Bielsa likes the latter two. These type of players fit the astute value-for-money model that Orta/Rad follow and would arguably be 1st team (at the very least it would definitely strengthen options of...

No need for an upheaval -

Outs: Berardi, Hernandez, Costa, Kiko, Alioski
Ins: Gallagher (loan + option), Heaton (free), Lang and/or Cunha (C. £15m + £25m), LB
