Strike

There's a lot to do in the squad before we consider Noni's position. We need a GK, CB, and LW. I think we can go on with Noni and Estevao at RW unless Newcastle come in with a huge offer.

So many names here were a waste of money, time and effort - Mudryk, Sterling, Felix, Kellyman, Ugo, Deivid This is the track record of a board that regularly briefs reporters that they will not be forced to overpay on a deal 😂

At least the deal for Liam Delap is looking a lot smarter now.

Petrovic's ball-playing was dodgy last time he was here. But you'd think the CWC was ideal to test someone coming out of a good loan. For all they've done right, the board has completely bungled decisions around GKs

Their January signings weren't exactly precise though they've spent a lot of money. Khusanov is struggling and the jury is still out on Marmoush imo. Article says Newcastle are being stalled in the hope Chelsea enters the bidding for Trafford. Another City academy product.

Worth remembering it’s early June and Liam Delap is already signed

Bad idea. We need an upgrade as we will be competing in the Champions League next season. Lot of teams that will be pressing high and lot of games where GK needs to be making split second decisions. Sanchez will be a disaster and despite his good season in Ligue 1, Petrovic for me is not a candidate for first-choice keeper. We need to be in the market

It is still early June. Why are we assuming club will stick with Sanchez as first choice?

Chelsea have communicated that they will pay a maximum of €15m to AC Milan for Maignan. Chelsea see the sale of Christian Pulisic to Milan in 2023 for €20m as part of their reasoning. Pulisic had just 12 months left on his contract, but was six years younger. Pulisic also plays in a position that commands higher fees.

Hard to believe when we have just signed Mamadou Sarr for £12m and have already signed Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo for £62.4m before the summer has even begun.

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.
