Strike

Around 62m pounds initial fee if Ornstein is right. I guess all the negotiation was useful in the end?

Yep all sources now saying this

Reports say he had a good game playing centre-back for Wales against Finland.

Announce Aouar!

Agree. Not to mention the club boxed itself into the situation by not reading Courtois' desire to leave, contract ending

Seems like not only the club but news portals like Sky is also milking this for all its worth

Not sure about Falk's info. Romano didn't mention medical was done in London. He said agreement reached around 10 days ago. Announcement left.

I liked Eden Hazard's announcement. Just dropped it on Twitter

Its going to be Mendy. Seems like Lollichon's judgement he is the best budget option. Haven't watched him but he's bigger in size at least

Decent backup keeper for 71m

Kolarov and Young at left-back. Classic Conte. Market is shrinking for an Emerson sale.

Very clandestine if he was in London on Sunday and no one got wind of it then

Defend a cross

United had a good XI, made up a 6-point gap on Chelsea from February. Lack of depth was an issue but their first team was settled, not conceding stupid goals and the attack was creating chances. If United make an addition like Upamecano in defense then they suddenly become a serious force. Yes, he has a release clause for 2021 but I still think Leipzig will consider a higher offer this summer - maybe 60m +

Cech did hint at a GK signing

Our fanbase is so impatient At no point has news broken that this deal is off. Not even by unreliable shit-stirrers. It was always on, just took a while to get completed.

Yep. They did a decent job with RLC to be fair

They better play him. First choice

I feel Kai's legacy will be closer to Hazard because Ronaldo had a ridiculous goal scoring burst even at United

Even clubs like Leeds and Everton are making multiple 30m moves. The league looks quite competitive this year, there could be 9-10 tough teams to face (big 6 + Leicester, Everton, Wolves)

To add to everything discussed - a cohesive attacking plan instead of relying on individual moments of magic.

Another factor in the club going for Ben over Reguillon, Tagliafico

https://theathletic.com/2029141/2020/08/28/emi-emiliano-martinez-arsenal-transfer/ Emiliano Martinez for sale (maybe even below 10m). I think this could be a decent stop-gap option. He looked comfortable as Arsenal #1 and has good handling

Unorthodox solution for the centreback spot. Not sure about how he will fare week in week out but a big lift for the dressing room and someome who will set standards everyday. Good to have Brazilians again
