There was a hue and cry from Liverpool fans when Chelsea were selling to Saudi clubs. It seems Liverpool is coolly shipping off their midfield to Saudi
There is no option I'd take a punt on in the market. I'm open to going into the season with what we have. We were at the same point before the Lukaku signing.
Pass. There’s a report that Kolo Muani would cost near 100m and his club anyway want to keep him till 2024 when he will play Euros alongside Mbappe and will likely increase his transfer fee.
Surprised at the lack of DM links after Ugarte. The club is reportedly looking at Caicedo and a creative CM - Veiga/Cherki
I would think that the club would sign Lavia or Thuram if they missed out on Ugarte. They seem to be considering Caicedo as the DM or they're working quietly behind the scenes
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
