Reddish-Blue

Leipzig want 70 million and we still have to sell players to meet the UCL financial quota. Ideally Felix + Nkunku would be sold by now

If Hato isn't agreed, I get the feeling Arsenal may jump in last minute, they were very keen on him earlier on in the window and Arteta likes his defenders.

Guessing that's the same reason why Liverpool/Newcastle and other clubs are keen on getting Guehi, the one with 20+ caps for England. For all the talk about Trev, he's nothing more than a useful squad player, same with Tosin. Those are the guys you want as your 3rd choice CB to fill in as required. PL attackers would be delighted if we didn't upgrade at CB.

Quenda is an interesting one as he played about 60% on the right and 40% on the left for Sporting last season. I like the idea of Quenda/Neto swapping wings, Estevao can play right and drift into the middle as required once he adjusts to PL pace/intensity.

The fact that Mbeumo said I want United and they took that long to finalise the deal....😆 Newcastle must be pissed off, they lost their 2 striker targets to PL rivals and Isak is being linked to a massive move away.

I don't mind the Simons link but even with good attacking depth, we aren't challenging for top 3 this season without a good CB. For me, Colwill - Chalobah/Tosin/Badi is nowhere near enough to scare the big PL teams.

Jackson really fell off in the polling, he went from being our only striker last season to getting only 4% of the votes 😄

Maybe that transfer helps us with the potential Jackson transfer fee...

They chose not to activate Kepa's clause, even though it was only 5 million and then went ahead and got Petrovic for 25 million. I'm surprised they are allowing both CB's to leave, they must have someone lined up as replacement.

If true, that would be awesome. I didn't mind Felix in the conference league games last season but I never understood the mid season move to Milan 😆

So basically we may end up with Palmer, Simons, Nkunku (if he can't be sold), that Brazilian wonderkid all keen on being #10's 😆 If we are going after that sort of player, why not put in an offer for Eze? At least he is PL proven.

I don't recall Veiga playing at CB other than those early conference league games where half the squad was rotated. He was primarily used as backup LB and DM as required. I think he was more frustrated at not being given any chances at CB...

If United are involved at all, I have a bad feeling that Garnacho will be tied to the deal somehow 😁

Surely we need a quality CB before another attacker

The transfer fee wouldn't be a problem, they were happy to offer 80 million for that young french striker

Imagine if Isak ends up pushing for a transfer to Liverpool....😄 Wonder who else Newcastle have on the attacking shortlist

I'd be surprised if a few more players aren't sold at Liverpool, considering they are all in on Isak and that young french striker at Frankfurt. Elliott, possibly Diaz (if fee is high enough).

It was obvious Ethan wasn't going to leave Arsenal, as his best mate just signed a new deal as well (MLS). There were posters on here who actually thought he'd walk 😆

I get the feeling Bayern will try to strike a cheap deal for Nkunku as they know we would be happy to get his wages off the books. He'd probably do pretty well with Kane & Olise and they need another striker/attacker with Musiala's bad luck at the CWC.

Probably injured again....knowing our luck 😆

The question is, will Chalobah, Tosin & Colwill be enough to keep us in the hunt for top 4 this season? Just feels a bit lightweight at CB.

Unexpected performance and what was that by Enrique after the final whistle, grabbing Pedro by the throat? Palmer really is something else.

Let's see how he performs in the premier league, we've already seen that Bundesliga goals don't always translate to prolific at PL level (Werner, Nkunku).

I thought Leipzig wanted crazy money for him, that's why Arsenal decided to prioritise Viktor

Don't worry, we seem to love collecting high level youngsters, that Jackson money will go straight to the Ekitike transfer 😆
