A buyback on Tomori or Guehi would have come in handy this summer.

They’re readying the Mbappe bid 👀

Angelo Gabriel looked good. But reports said he's unlikely to qualify for a work permit If we do sign Kudus we're going to be stocked in his position in any case.

There is Raya and Sanchez in the Premier League too. Will be cheap to land them too. I'm sure after all the loans are decided the club will sign a GK2

Yeah. Insane how the club has got the wage bill down by a couple of million per week and there's still a high earner - Lukaku - to leave The structure seems a lot better now - Only James and Sterling on high wages

He plays centrally and on the right. Would compete with Madueke and add cover to the midfield positions

We are talking to Ajax about Kudus

Brighton have accepted they aren't getting Colwill. They signed a Brazilian 20m left footed CB from Fiorentina

There's a clause to extend by one year till 2025

We let Guehi go for 20m and we don't have a buy-back (!) We have a match bid clause but no one has bid for him and Palace are quoting 50 m. I'd rather look at the market instead - Disasi, Simakan - who are both quoted to be much cheaper. Only reason to go for Guehi is HG quota

Andre Santos seems to be earmarked as the guy we're keeping. Would be tricky to keep both Casadei and Santos around as backups.

Casadei looked really good. Would still say a loan is best and Leicester seems a great option. Let him play 30+ games even if it’s at Championship level and he can come back for 24-25 when we’ll hopefully have League and Europe to contend with

So only Ziyech and Lukaku left?

So many being taken for a ride with these Tier 4 Maguire rumours.

Axel Disasi could be the RCB target. There's competition for Pavard and I don't see many other alternatives.

He was denied a move in January. I think he would kick up a fuss. Reports are he already is

Many on here frustrated by lack of progress but club's decisions are being vindicated so far. No other suitor, Caicedo convinced by Chelsea.

that's cos he has 3 years left in his Chelsea deal. There's been a lot of smoke about him interested in a Brighton, Liverpool move and importantly, almost nothing from him indicating he's committed to Chelsea. He's still deciding

Its clear Colwill is exploring moves. Up to Poch to convince him

Not shocking when you consider he's Muslim.

It seems Busquets recommended because of Romeu's ball-carrying and they don't have cash for their main targets - Bruno Guimares, Neves, Zubimendi.
