What? Lol

Seems he is off.  A deal with someone has to be down the line. Alisson is the commonly mentioned name but we do like a left field surprise.

Hope this deal isn't confirmed until his replacement is in the door.

I don't get what difference it makes, any club knows if we are trying to sign their GK at this point, we are desperate.

I just don;t get why we've left it so late, it's no surprise he wanted to leave .. this should have been sorted out sooner, did the club really expect him to come back from the WC and sign a new contract?

We aren't desperate, as the final say about transfers lie with the club & not Thibo; he's not a free agent.

 

It's called, covering your back.

So if we're not desperate to sign a GK - you'd be fine if we didn't sign one this window?
 

[Hamilton 2,120]

If we agreed you would think we have something to announce next days, Allison?

I didn't say that. I was solely referring to Thibo departure. 

We could easily force Thibo to see out his contract before approaching a similar calibre GK next summer. Far from ideal but could be done if needs must.

 

Your lack of concern on the matter could see us ending up with Caballero as our number 1 or spending 50m+ on Pickford.

Liverpool are the stumbling block. I believe he could join them if they are willing to match Roma's price .

 

 

[Hamilton 2,120]

Reports here say Allison to pool is almost done.

We will probably end up with Mignolet or something like that 😆

Maybe you should go and look what I said when you quoted me, you said we were not desperate to sign a GK.

I never once suggested we should sign Pickford for 50m+ or stick with Caballero. I don't even think we will spend 70m on Alisson, I think if we were willing to spend that much on a goalkeeper we would have gave Tibo the contract he wants.

Also, I never once suggested we should sign Pickford for 50m+ or stick with Caballero.

If Thibo sees out his contract, are we desperate?

No idea what's different to grasp.

The second point was hypothetical and what could happen if we just sell Thibo with no thought.

[Pizy 18,917]

Hopefully the statement we release when we sell him is even shorter and more dismissive than the Conte one was. We sell our legendary keeper to fucking Arsenal to hand the keys to Courtois and this is how it's going to end. 

You just know that in his first press conference in Madrid he's going to say something offensive about us like "I'm finally at a big club."

Fuck him. He has no sense of loyalty. The guy's divorced for a reason

Welcome Butland! 

[Vybzkartel 284]

If we can not sign a top class replacement just keep him and scout a good keeper in the coming year. Besides Im pretty sure he will sign the contract once we start winning and playing good football under Sarri.

the IFs are what makes us desperate mate.

I'm not suggesting we should sell Tibo with no thought - maybe you should read my views on this before assuming them.

You wrote the following -

We sell Thibo without a back up in place, we're fucked. That's the bloody difference

Can't reiterate the same point for the next hour.

Thanks for the input
