The Nations League shouldn't have existed in the first place. It's all because UEFA were greedy! Fair enough but hey, if it "forces" the club to announce the deal ASAP, then this is a blessing in disguise.

Is that really a foolproof approach? Most countries are still following the standard 14-day quarantine thing. There have been many others examples I'm sure but saw the news earlier that David Silva tested positive for the virus today, despite having tested negative on Friday.

Maybe because he went back to France (before going to Milan) between the Champions League final and last Friday? France obviously not exempted from UK's quarantine list.

It is true. They are talking about Van De Beek but from 1:13, the presenter mentioned about the exemption that will be granted by the UK government if Van De Beek is registered as a United player before either of Netherlands' games. The rule applies to all players in the PL and EFL who are away on international duty. The club could complete the Havertz deal and register him quietly before announcing the deal next week...

Saw others mentioned it and I figured the club would want to milk the announcement as much as possible with interview, pics of holding the shirt, smiling with Marina etc.

If we really have to wait till this dumb international matches are done before announcing Havertz, then we may have to wait until at least next Tuesday (Sept 8) before he gets to London.

Different circumstances no? One is the most expensive player in his position while the others aren't in theirs. There is also currently a market for the likes of Batshuayi, Emerson etc while there is not an obvious one for Kepa at this moment. So, it is not surprise Cech is making sure we do not leave ourselves exposed by making us look desperate to get rid of him.

This thing about Leverkusen wanting to get Schick in first before letting Havertz go makes no sense when they are also letting Kevin Volland go at the same time.

aka Getting Closer FC aka To Be Announced Soon FC.

This doesn't seem like it'll be announced today, @Pizy...

Peter Bosz said he doesn't expect Havertz to train with Leverkusen again...

A detailed explanation on our summer spending and FFP...

Even then, tell them to F O. Between Kante and Jorginho, it's bloody obvious who we should be selling first.

Regarding this Kante-Inter rumors, worth mentioning that the Inter board reportedly told Conte (when they had their talks last week) that they won't be able to spend big money, the kind of money that they spent on Lukaku last year this summer.

I know and Inter must be taking the piss if they think Marina will sell Kante for 50-60 million. He still has 3 years left on his contract and earns 300k p/w wages.

Conte wants Kante? Sure, 100 million at the very least and we'll talk. Otherwise, F O!

Getting that kind of money would be good but on the other hand, I want us to be like Real Madrid or Barcelona, where players see us as the end goal, the best club there is to join and not just like a stepping stone to someone bigger.

Cech wasn't going to come out and say Kepa is shit and is up for sale in the public, was he?

Don't say I didn't warn you. It was reported that Havertz wanted to move to Real Madrid and Real Madrid were one of the clubs interested in him but couldn't buy him right now because of the pandemic. Put those together and we could be in for another Hazard situation down the road.

Don't get too attached though. He'll leave for Real Madrid in 2-3 years.

From the Spurs documentary, I think...

Let's not also forget - Sancho is English too. Bound to be a bigger hype if United get him.
