If we do not have a quality replacement for Enzo Fernandez pur transfer business this window will look seriously flawed. So can only hope we can still get one in. Worrying few hours ahead and may either get good news or resign ourselves to having perhaps weakest midfield in recent times... if particularly Caicedo fitness in doubt and/or Lavia breaks down again.

Pogba's available on a free.

I mean, that's a joke, obviously (Bissouma and Coutinho also available on frees. And Alaba as a cb, which might actually be quite a good deal for a short-term defensive signing, with his pedigree - certainly an upgrade on Tosin) - but I genuinely don't think we're going to get anyone at this late stage, unless the club really pulls it out of the bag.
Perhaps that's why there's no news. I'm hoping for Camavinga, but not holding my breath.

Well, thanks for that definition of utterly desperate if we signed him! Plus added Hulk?
01 Sep 2026 19:44:44
Haha. It was like three or four summers in a row reading the rumours about Hulk.

EdW, Hulk is still playing aged 40: 3 goals in 6 appearances so far - don't make him angry!

What a legend! Thanks for the info, Jimbo.

EdW, believe it or not, I would have loved to have seen Hulk at Chelsea. However it went, it would have been entertaining.
