Well you have to keep in mind Boehly is new to the football scene and is also meeting new people. There will always be a difference with meeting someone new face to face and through a conference call.

Please please please stay away from Ronaldo. He would never be happy as an impact sub and thats what I see him being if he comes here. Yes he is a winner but for me the bad outweighs the good.

Honestly I never follow the Bundesliga, I knew they won but never knew it was every year for the last 10 years. I would've thought max 6 straight wins.

Just realized that Bayern have been Bundesliga champions 10x in 10 years. Dear lawd.

Leeds would be stupid to sell Raphinha to Barca, less money and also they pay in IOUs. Barca are in shambles.

Wasnt this posted yesterday? I swear I've read this before...

Can we please focus on our no 1 targets and get them over the line first please. Also the Bundesliga would be good for CR7, as he hasnt played there before.

I just hope by this time next week, we have at least Sterling and De Ligt confirmed to join. Leave the offer for Raphinha on the table and see what Leeds will do. If we pull our offer, Barca are going to have a free run at him and im too petty to let that happen.

I would also want more upfront if I was selling to Barca, a club that still owes around 42M of unpaid salary to one of their players.

Reckon they would be interested with an Alonso and/or Azpi + cash for him?

If the reports are true and De Ligt is TTs no 1 target... are we at least going to try and sign him BEFORE we get Ake.. because City will be 1 central defender short...

Did Juve just value Jorgi at €20M? Surely he is worth more...

Honestly if Raphinha is so desperate for Barca, then we need to move on. We shouldnt be pining over a player when we are not first choice by a long shot (ie stalling and waiting for Barca to bid) and Raphinha should also not pine over a club that he is not first choice.

That reminds me, has Gavi officially signed the new contract yet? Also will it possibly effect the deals for incoming players? In terms of wages etc

Maybe its all a ruse to get Dembele to re-sign on lower wages...

And Leeds' preference is : 1. Us, 2. Arsenal, 3. Barca. As i would think Barca would be the lowest bid out of 3. So a complicated situation...

How are Barca going to pay them? With FDJ money? He doesnt even want to move to United...

If we are pulling the trigger on both Sterling and Raphinha, that tells me that we are confident of off loading 2 of our attackers (Puli/Ziyech/Werner). Which also could be a sign that we are confident of getting De Ligt (hopefully) as 2 of those names are linked with that deal. We will see.

In my opinion £48M max + Werner for MDL is fair. Juve need to sell now or lose him for a lower fee or even free in the future. Also keep in mind that MDL wants Juve to lower his release clause first before they can start negotiating a new deal, the key is how low of a release clause is he asking for... If its lower than what we are offering then the smart thing to do is to sell him now.

All this Dembele will he or wont he is starting to put me off this deal a lot.. sometimes with players its not all about their skills and talent but also their mentality.. if he were to come here, he would possibly be the top earner here and i'm not really loving that idea.. Kante is an ideal image of a player that earns his status as top earner

Isnt Jorge Mendes also the agent for Joao Felix...

Ohh ok then, that makes sense.. thats even better.

Honestly if TT really wants Kounde, seeing all this Barca talk, we would make somekind of a move. Nothing so far...

Is it true De Ligts salary is at £200,000 p/w? If so then it shouldnt be that much of a problem, because I would think with the contract renewals for Reece and Mount that they would ask for a salary somewhere around Chilwell's?

Last i heard, Juve were interested in Jorgi?.. Honestly i find De Ligt the perfect mold of the type player we desperately need at CB. Can play in a 2 or 3, a leader at the back that can learn so much from Silva and take over from him when Silva moves on, also his mentality is something we want at the club. He would be big money for sure but I feel he is worth the risk.
