Strike

Makes me believe the Simon Johnson update.

Di Marzio saying the offer is 18m pounds now. This is on the higher side but it is going to be a lot cheaper than going into the market for an alternative on the same level

They've scouted Bettinelli's elite bench riding

Pretty normal negotiation. We have no pressure to sign - have 4 GKs - Sanchez, Jorgensen, Petrovic, Kepa + Penders, Bettinelli etc

Looking like they want to play 3-4-3 that Amorim likes AMs Cunha and Mbeumo behind a striker with Amad as the wing back - which they've done a few times already

Door is open for United to sign Gyokeres. Expecting Ornstein to tweet any moment now they're in for him. Cunha Mbeumo Gyokeres means they might not be relegation candidates after all

It is the right call from Spurs though

This is a different stage of developing the team. Do you not want to close out this young squad with some proven players and go for the league next year?

5m is ridiculously low for someone who's had a good season of starting games in the PL

There is a lot more urgency to find a right-footed left winger and defenders. Instead of wasting days in the summer, I wish the club was just clinical and went out to get the top targets they want - Delap, Rogers, Murillo and Maignan Any other business can be if the deal is too good to turn down. Kudus has an 85m pound release clause and is barely an upgrade on Neto/Madueke

I have defended Sanchez here but we must make a switch as soon as we can get an upgrade. Maignan would be better and he speaks French - which some of the defense (Gusto Badia Fofana ) speak too. I can understand the club going with lowball offers - We’ve got a great relationship with Milan and he’s 30 and running out his contract

Liking the new kit and welcome Liam Delap. Quietly hopeful we have our #9 for a long time - fast, strong, Premier League experience, decent technique and a rocket shot on him.

Hypocrisy from the board based on other deals they've done. But the valuation of Maignan is fair.

That’s the club’s logic of buy young, cheap which you oppose Also 30 is not old for a GK

https://sempremilan.com/gds-renewal-mercato-performances-maignan-doubts/amp Little more about Maignan’s dip in form here. His baseline level is good and he looked a rock solid keeper couple of years ago

Surely signing Gittens and Sancho is costing as much

How reliable is Adler News? Only ones reporting a deal is close

Btw why is Jamie Gittens asking price 50m? Doesn't seem to be like there's a queue of clubs for him.

Plettenburg is routinely put in Tier 3 in different reliability threads https://thefalse9.com/2020/08/football-transfer-sources-rumours-website-reliability.html https://www.reddit.com/r/reddevils/wiki/transfer-reliability-guide/

I won't believe it till it happens

Tier 3 source

We are already linked with being Sancho’s career rehab centre. Can’t imagine we will go for another player with the same profile
