Pizy

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ At least we didn’t pay £50m. If Garnacho flops whoever pushed for this signing should be sacked.

That’s surely Jackson to Bayern then.

Pretty murderous draw for us, ngl.

Working on a deal all summer, convincing the player to turn down lots of big clubs, agreeing personal terms and then losing out right at the end when your hated arch rival comes in and wraps up a deal within a day or two is absolutely a bottle job if this is what happens.

We’ve actually bottled it. To fucking SPUDS of all clubs. Had it been Arse or Bayern then fair play. Would’ve been annoying but those are 2 clubs which are on our level in terms of stature. But Tottenham?! Are you kidding me?

So it’s Xavi or nothing then. We ain’t paying close to that.

If Garnacho is our final signing I think we’re fighting with Newcastle and whoever else for 4th until the very last day again like last season. Without that last true difference maker in our attack which I think Xavi would be, we don’t have enough to push above 4th.

Understandable, but look at Liverpool currently. Their defense has looked comically poor so far this season but their attack can destroy anyone at any time. I’m mostly fine on going all in on the attack this window and addressing the GK and CB areas next window or next summer as needed.

Hard to understand. Especially with Palmer currently injured you’d think we’d want to aggressively push through Xavi who can slot in seamlessly into that position and hit the ground running. Instead, we’re prioritizing Garnacho who would surely be weeks away from being match ready even if he were signed today. He hasn’t played football in how long now? With no preseason?

Hasn’t been a peep about Fermín since the Ornstein tweet btw. If the Xavi deal was in jeopardy I’d expect to start seeing briefs that Fermín Lopez is the one we’ve wanted all along.

Guess we’ll find out very soon how determined Xavi has been about Chelsea and only Chelsea as has been reported time and again. Or whether he just got extremely annoyed/frustrated that we have been dragging this on for over a month with no movement and Spuds have turned his head. Convinced him that he’s the key to them becoming a top team or something.

He’ll go, but will it be on loan or for good is the question. Maybe that’s what Matt Law’s report is all about. Jackson could go to Bayern on loan but that likely means no money for Simons. But we could be slow walking things in hopes that Liverpool comes back in for Isak and Newcastle then use that cash for Jackson for big money. Then we can sign Xavi. The interesting situation is that Xavi is now in London trying to push through a move. Would he do that unless a move is imminent? And if a move is imminent can it actually be us as long as Jackson is here? Hopefully we get some clarity ASAP.

This is what I’d like to know. Can we proceed with both Garnacho AND Simons with just Nkunku going or will we also need to get a big fee for Jackson in order to sign the latter?

Unless it comes out that Fermín is like £20m cheaper than Xavi it makes no sense to go for him instead. Xavi has been desperate to join us all summer and we have terms in place. To walk away now when he is in London forcing things would be crazy.

This is my feeling. No sane player is going to choose Spuds over us if we are still pushing, surely.

Brother, could you imagine if after all this painful waiting and negotiating and reporting that “Nkunku is the key to Simons coming to Chelsea, once he is sold Xavi will immediately go to Chelsea,” that on the day we finally conclude a deal for Nkunku, Simons instead goes to a hated rival? 🤣🤣 SURELY not?!

The question is whether we’ll be able to sign both Garnacho and Xavi if it’s Nkunku sold and Jackson only loaned. Haven’t really seen any reporting on whether that’s doable.

United fans on RedCafe are desperately begging for the Garnacho deal to be cancelled because Amorim may be sacked and he’d have a way back into the team. 😂😂😂

If true he’ll do really well there I think just like the other former Chelsea boys Pulisic, RLC, and Tomori. All of these guys weren’t good enough for a top PL team but in Serie A they can boss it.

Ok. I thought they wanted Nkunku back as a direct replacement for Simons.

Hasn’t it been reported that Nkunku has to go specifically to Leipzig or the Simons deal doesn’t happen?

Wonder if we’re dumb enough to include a sell on with Garnacho. That would make an already underwhelming deal pretty shitty. One of the positives the pro Garnacho people point to is that we can always sell him for profit in the future. Well, we can’t if we give United a sell on percentage which we’ve done with several deals recently under Clearlake.

Think you’re spot on regarding Jackson and Nkunku. The club may have badly overestimated how much other clubs would value these two. We probably figured we’d be able to comfortably make near what we paid for Nkunku and probably thought that with so many clubs super desperate for a striker that we’d easily be able to double our money on Jackson. After these things didn’t happen all summer we have then started to hope that clubs like Newcastle or Villa would get really desperate and just throw money at us. But even that hasn’t happened. Other clubs are calling our bluff.

After all this excitement we’re actually going to end this window with only fucking Garnacho. 🤦‍♂️ With us having been after him hard for 2 straight windows he better come in and be amazing. Otherwise the supporters should hound the directors out of the club for spending a combined almost 100m on what look like 2 bang average LW’s.

Exactly. We’re probably still demanding twice what anyone would ever pay for him and that’s what’s holding everything up. Same with Jackson. We’ll end up keeping Nkunku, loaning Jackson, and probably getting only Garnacho this week. Which would turn this from a very promising window to a super underwhelming one.
