It's too big

Seems the most likely at the moment. If Higuain goes to Milan, I see us going after Martial and Bailey. These seem to be the options. I am still not sure on Martial as a no.9 though, but hey, under Sarri I am so much less skeptical.

I don't believe Courtois leaves this summer now. It leaves too little time to find a replacement. What likely happens is he signs a new contract and get more money for him next summer if he allow him to leave. Saying that, I am not sure why we don't look at Keylor Navas in a swap deal. He has three CL wins on his resume and is a top keeper in his own right. Real Madrid are a very odd club.

Alisson had one good season last season, that's it. Pickford proved in the WC he is a fantastic young keeper, and he's English. To be honest, there are very few other top keepers out there, if any. However, this is Sky Sports reporting this so most likely nonsense.

Decent player, but being hyped up a bit. Certainly hasn't stood out that much when I have watched him.

There's nothing wrong with our ownership. 2 trophies and a FA cup in the past 4 seasons. Talking about Spurs as if they're the yardstick is hilarious. Spurs have won fuck all, and a new stadium doesn't change that. Arsenal built a new stadium too and how many league titles have they won since?

Says who? You're listening to these vague rumours with very little reliability. Don't believe every rumour you read.

You're talking utter bollocks mate. Just shhh...

Some of the members on here are utterly entitled. People seem to expect multiple £100m signings or something. It's not how any club is run. Very few, if any clubs are going out there and spending godly amounts of money on players. As for Golovin, we have no idea who our targets are. I don't just listen to what any old journo says about the situation as they only have so much info, they definitely don't know as much as people want to believe.

We have RLC and Barkley. Was never sure why a move for Golovin made sense anyway.

Not the biggest fan of this deal, but Martial doesn't want to be at Utd. People are under the assumption that Willian wants to go to Man Utd.

There's been no legit sources to confirm there was even offers for Willian. People need to relax ffs. Stop believing every little rumour.

Maybe because we don't particularly need anyone?

He's a stud. Strong, great dribbling ability, eye for goal, blistering pace, got decent vision too. One other thing he has as well which is in some ways important to be a top player, is he can be selfish when he gets a taste of goal. Most elite attackers are greedy too. That is something Hazard should be.

It's the weekend. These things can take a while to go through the final stages. We may have agreed everything a week ago, but there's other things which need to be sorted before he is officially signed and pictured with the shirt at Stamford Bridge.

If Bayern are interested in Martial, I think he'll end up going there tbh. Man Utd would not sell to us. It is what annoys me about the Matic/Mata/Lukaku situation, we sold them the former two players and indirectly gave them Lukaku.

But where would he play? Sanchez plays on the LW, so he can't play there. He is nowhere near as effective on the right side of a front three attack. Unless Jose would have other plans for Willian, which I doubt. He would end up playing in the same position he's played here. Barcelona want him to play on the LW so he can cut in with his right foot, where he's more effective.

He wouldn't. He would be the striker. It seems like we're looking at a left footed attacker to play in Willian's position on the RW. Leon Bailley and that Brazilian lad have been monitored.

Why would Willian want to go to Utd? He prefers Barcelona.

We aren't selling Eden to fund Martial. Martial would be playing as a striker. That is why we would be selling Willian, not Eden. We turned down the 3rd bid for Willian because we want more.

Has Martial even played as a striker before? Did he play there at Monaco?

Have City actually sold anyone yet? It seems they continue to make signings yet never get rid of anybody.

The dude has had one good season for Lyon. Before that his stats were about as good as Pedro or Willian.

And you believe it?

Got a sudden fetish for midfielders all of a sudden lol
