Edit: wrong thread

Gianluca Di Marzio, who reported that Atalanta had given up the other day, now reporting that Brighton are planning to sell Billy Gilmour and buy Matt O'Riley

I remember seeing him drop a comment on the main transfer window thread... quoting it below to save others digging Rare there is a player I can actually comment on but Mateus was a real stand out for Estoril last year. I can’t say I have seen anything of MOR other than the highlights stuff so impossible to compare but Mateus is good. As with anyone from a league at a different level it may be hard to adjust but he is physical, technically good, hard working and great vision. Pretty pleased he will be a saint.

Record in Portugal now running the story too https://x.com/record_portugal/status/1824897812074512658?s=46&t=f0hgNyKSvvOD5qjGLJhsXQ

A Bola in Portugal reporting that we’ve agreed a €19m deal for Sporting midfielder Mateus Fernandes https://x.com/sporting_cpadep/status/1824895441445834952?s=46&t=f0hgNyKSvvOD5qjGLJhsXQ

Giving McCarthy the contract to cover for this season wasn't the mistake. It's the fact he's starting. I guess we are playing the long game with getting the GK we want before the window shuts

Played well there. Tough defeat, would've taken a 1-0 beforehand for sure but with the way the game went, that's grating

Honestly think he's another who needs to just go on loan to a middle of the road team, nothing to play for, and just start every week. Like a Bristol City or a Stoke type side

Downes for me. KWP and Aribo also very, very good so far

Not sure how he decided this was the guy to try and pass to in this situation

Yuki looks class

About time we got better at the dark arts. We'll need it. Fuck them

Every single stream I open seems to be awful?

If, in our ideal world, we get O'Riley and then have three midfield spots for six central players: O'Riley, Downes, Ugochukwu, Smallbone, Aribo, Lallana - then like you, I'd feel more comfortable and still think Smallbone would get enough minutes for us to figure out if he's viable in the PL beyond this season. Would definitely still look to bring in another crafty attacking midfielder as I share some of the same reservations here, much as I'd love to see him rise to it and prove he's capable

I thought this might be an unusual transfer window but a Sekou Mara bidding war takes the biscuit

Wait until Liverpool find out that Adam Lallana got relegated to League 1 at the same age
