So where does that leave us no the Jnr debacle is over, I can't help feeling we have been used to get him a better offer.
Anyone else on offer?

Hello Banbury, I would not call it a debacle, I think we genuinely believed we could get him.
I don't think we were used by Vini's agents to get a better deal. Real offered him an improved deal, which by all accounts he is going to accept. The fact that Real improved their offer seems to me that there was genuine concern he would leave to come to us. If Real thought that Vini was using us to get a better deal then I think they would have dug their heels in.
Personally, I wasn't bothered either way.
Rashford is worth a punt, an idea that's been put forward by other posters.
Barcola is another Martinelli imo.
Williams, never impressed when I have seen him.
Nusa, the Norwegian winger, looks good as well.
My choice would be Rashford.
Take care, Banbury, mate.
COYG.

I also was not very hopeful with Vini. I feel we are some way away for top Real or Barcelona players to want to come to us; we have to be consistently winning or challenging for the PL and CL for that to happen. I also believe we will be there in the next 2-3 years.
We have got Tzolis to cover left wing. We should get Rashford and Osimhen. With Bruno also looking like a done deal, we should be set up nicely for the next season with these additions.
