Agents are likely offering their players to every club around hoping to get a bite. Doesn't mean we'll take those offered, mind. Nothing to be concerned about.

My sights are dropping quicker than a Messerschmitt 109 going nose first into the English Channel.

OG? Oh dear. While I'm not 100% opposed to this move, as it is purely pragmatic, and designed to fill in a hole for a few months, I'm also curious as to why Chelsea would sanction the move? Why potentially 'strengthen' us? Where's the logic in that? Unless, it's some genius Roman Abra, Trojan Horse strategy. Get OG into our first team and have him score own goals. Waste chances. Tackle our players as they are about to shoot, and try to injure as many as they can in training. And then Roman will pay him 10M for his work. This is the type of evil genius you only see in a Bond movie.

Wait, hold on. If it was a Bond film, Daniel would be Blofeld, right?

Yeah, yeah yeah, I'll take OG, play him at CF, worry about the HG quota later. Meanwhile we'll all go to HW for autographs and shout COYS at JM who fist pumps to the fans before going in to chat to DL about the summer TW.

I’d take OG right now. Experienced and won’t need weeks getting up to pace of Prem. thanks for the ITK Herc

Torn on this as unsure how one can spend so long building up an innate hatred for a team and then to go play for them!

Funny what a few weeks does to you. I can only imagine the fallout had we been after OG at the start of the month, but leave it until the last few days of the window and everyone is gagging for him!

Just heard Lazio are favorites for him, I can't imagine the chavs would let him leave to "strength" a rival he'll be pushed towards them.

You mean when we were playing at peak with a completely different manager, style, attitude and mentality?
None of that makes Benteke good at football. They are capable of it, it’s the managers job to make sure they have a good attitude and mentality

Did Parrott go out on loan? I can't keep track on who's in and out.
Jose plays mind games. Just wondering if his statements about Parrot may be half honest but also somewhat of a gauntlet to get him working super hard. The suggestion was JT was a template with his attitude and application. Maybe Jose was trying to light a fire under the lad?

Oh hell, I thought you were talking about Giroud! I retract everything I said. I'd play a garden broom upfront over benteke!

People have to stop banging on about Parrot he’s 17. How many 17yo have made an impact in the prem, let alone a team with CL aspirations. Giroud is exactly the kind of deal we should do for Parrots development. 18 months and he’ll be in a better place to fight for a place - bring in a 23yo now and he might never get the chance. Giroud in the mean time offers experience and a target and I’d take it from the options in press and coming out of the itk regarding those being offered to us.
