I don't think this is about squeezing Inter at all. Another club has made a bigger offer. We are asking Inter to match it. The club has been consistently sticking to valuations and have pinched a fair few million in the sales - the Mount, Havertz, Pulisic deals in particular.
I agree Colwill should be integrated into the squad but there's a lot of rewriting about his Brighton loan - he played just 12 league games in which he played 90 mins or close to 90 mins.
If one of the Real Madrid boys are available - Tchouameni or Valverde, they're targets too. There'll be competition but we're in the fight I think. We have French, Spanish speakers and they'd walk into our starting XI
There's plenty of options. Gabriel Veiga. Rumours that PSG were close to signing him turned out to be false. Race is still open.
And there's Thuram, Kone, Lavia, Amrabat, Barella (tough pull). Only Rice has gone off the market.
We did sign Badiashile and this new board is capable of going out and signing a Gvardiol or another LCB at any moment. I think he's waiting to see how Poch sees him, uses him which is completely fair imo. Like Poch said in the presser, we have not yet done enough to win the trust yet
Liverpool interested in Levi Colwill. Are even holding off on their LCB signing to wait and see if Colwill is an option. Poch's should absolutely convince Colwill he's in our plans.
I don't see why the fan reaction has to be so bitter. It's giving him too much attention and making the move seem bigger than it is. He was never central to our plans.
People are really overplaying the drop in quality between Gabriel Veiga and someone like Enzo Le Fee who's still available. When Enzo was on the market, the club acted immediately and got the signing done.
I am liking the maniacal control from the board, Poch to be sensible this summer. They are driving hard bargains and sticking to valuations when negotiating for players.
Nkunku, Gusto, Jackson seem sensible moves and many high wage earners have left.
Liverpool may end up rebuilding their midfield but I’m not feeling any panic because of the course correction done this window. I’m open to spreading out the signings we need over windows. Wait for the right opportunities
One of the clubs in for him are Leicester. Would be a good idea to send him to an upper Championship level team and let him play 30+ games this season
than play rotation mid at Crystal Palace
Club wants to do the deal in July, the reports say. Saudi deals go through only after July 1. Its only the Havertz and Kova money that's coming in for now.
Anyway personal terms almost agreed with Caicedo. We are in the race and look like we are ahead of competitors even with our supposed mid-table status.
