Missed Emenalo's half time chat. Did he mention anything about a CB or another striker coming in. Think we could do with that

Not a chance it is the last 1. No way

It's a huge decision and it won't be decided by the fact Leicester have cl and we dont. His career success will be greater with us imo. If he stays at Leicester so be it. You'd suspect that he likely will stay but we will make him a great offer and probably back in cl next yr

Ranieri didnt exactly deny a bid, did he? Found that the most interesting part

Shanghai

Let's see if there is any sort of update tonight from the media.

Nothing new that story isnt. Posted earlier it is a report based on a tweet.

I read that. Seems a rehash story of Rob Dorsett's tweet. I understand #lcfc offered N'Golo Kante new 4yr contract before Euros which he is considering. Reports of £29m deal with #cfc are "nonsense"

Talks absolute shite. I am hoping we get some news tonight, either backing up the French report or shooting it down, just so we know the situation

lol. The saving grace (i hope) is that Le Parisien are considered one of the most reliable in France

The pessimist in me agrees

Bound to offer him one, infact I'd say it is 100% certain they will. Depends what we have offered him and whether he knows that by coming here, there is a strong possibility he will get his CL taster next year, if not this with Leicester. I mean without sounding arrogant, even though they are champions, who is more likely to win it next year or be top 4, us or Leicester? So take CL with Leicester now, maybe have a poorer season and the big clubs no longer retain much interest in him, or leave to Chelsea, and enjoy a potentially (and likely) more successful career on same money, or more

Im pretty sure Le Parisien dont usually post rumour and gossip. They tend to have facts and be sure of a story before printing it

Oddly, there are more reports he wants to come here and will turn down the new deal, than there are of him staying. Pessimist in me says he will stay and give them 1 more year to take part in their CL campaign, level headed side of me says Leicester to Chelsea is a step up, regardless whether they're champs or not

Arse in gear, Marina. Move quick, if it is true he wants to come here, deal can be done with the player swiftly, the fee may be a bit more difficult.

If we are that desperate for him, or Conte is, likelihood is we will up it by 5-10m euros. It is a mental fee though. Seems we dont want another disaster summer and are opening the wallet. IF we got Morata, we are already at almost £90m with him and Batshuayi before we have got a CB and CM. As someone posted, does make you wonder why Jose wasnt backed as heavily, although I kind of see why the board thought the same squad could win it again, but we still needed some major work. Did anyone know in Conte's first season at Juve he signed 18 players lol That is just insane

60m euro rejected acc to marca

Get rid of the thinking that if we sign Morata aswell as Batman we are skint. Our owner is a billionaire. FFP is clearly BS. We have a lot of revenue. We are sound

If we sign Morata, and play 2 uptop, Batshuayi is going on the bench. Can quote me on that

MARCA are good with Real Madrid stuff though. They are essentially their mouthpiece. Same as Mundo Deportivo and Sport are pretty good with Barcelona stuff I even remember once reading about clubs accusing Real Madrid of using MARCA to tap players up and MARCA agreeing to it. I'd trust MARCA over any other media outlet when it comes to Madrid

That is edited

It wont be us spending £150m or whatever on new signings in theory. We will sell too. And let's be honest, we barely touched last seasons budget. Batshuayi, Morata, Kante and Koulibaly would do me if the window ended and they were our new signings. Infact any players in those positions who are better than we have will do me!

Marca I think used to be, maybe still are, very close to Real Madrid and almost used as a mouthpiece. If Morata does join, I will be convinced Costa is off. Morata, Batman and Traore

Juventus have confirmed the buyback so he is now officially 100% Madrid's player. If they're going to negotiate a sale to the EPL, itll be from now EDIT: No way Madrid will get £57m for him. I'd bet if he leaves it is for 40-45

Take with a truck of salt from The Sun. Was a link the other day from dimarzio though......
