Now that Konate is off due to impending transfer to Liverpool I would rather him as well...as for Sule the move cannot happen because he do no6t want to leave Bayern...thats why am entertaining the idea of Marquinhos though it will be a bit difficult but doable...

Marquinhos is very difficult to happen because PSG is not a selling club. He is also their best CB, captain, and their fans adore him.

Ah yeah just realised he has 3 years left on his deal. Probably unattainable. 

[Milan 17,870]

I honestly thought he was over 30 years old, don't know why 😄

Yikes, maybe 3-4 years ago.

Am I mad for thinking we should go for Ronaldo? Considering he wants out, reportedly, and Juve want rid. If the fee was under £20m? Taking his wages into account to get 2 years out of him, similar to Silva. I think he’d have a great effect on our youngsters as well, demand even more out of them.

Even if it was just for a year before he scoots off to the US or elsewhere. I’d rather have him than splashing £100m+ on Lukaku.

Absolutely but several clubs are into him....

Do you really rate Kounde that much?

Kounde is a 5-10 CB

we will get killed in the air

if his fee is cheap AF, then hell yes, I would do it, 2 years is fine with me, and he is still a beast

That's my concern...too small for a CB especially in premier league....

my big watch is Fofana, in the 2 games versus us

my dream due would be Marquinhos (agent Thiago) and Varane on the cheap (as he still wanst out of RM from what I see and it would be a nightmare for Manure to get him) I doubt Juve will cough up de Ligt atm, and the same with Bastoni at Inter.

It is funny how my targets (other than Fofana) have all drifted (Bastoni is 9th now) to the absolute top of T-Markt

we missed a huge trick in Dias (I fully admit I had my doubts on him because of the Liga NOS shit level)

I think Dias is the best CB on the planet atm, and he only turns 24 (tomorrow btw)

Marquinhos will be a dream especially with Silva and Tuchel here...but hard to get due to years remaining on his contract and been the captain of the club...Varane if he can return to his best form but the centre back I would like here is Jose Gimenez but injury prone....

his injury history scares me too

it is why I came of the boil for him a year or so ago

plus his level dropped once his partner in crime for both club and country (Diego Godín) aged out and left AM

a 25, 26 yo Godín would be a perfect fit for us

but no such thing as a 10 year ago time machine, alas

lol, just saw Marquinhos has exact same b-day as Dias, just 3 years older, so he turns 27 tomorrow

Is Purr Schurrs developing fast enough?

You never can tell change of scenery and club can ignite him back

maybe BUT AM will not budge on his release clause (same as Oblak's AND Saúl Ñíguez's, all 3 are 120m euros, ie, £103m)

Quote

last summer:

Atletico Madrid have rejected a €100m offer from Manchester City for central defender Jose Gimenez. Atleti's president, Enrique Cerezo, said the Madrid giants will not accept anything less than his full €120m release clause.

Sergio Aguero snubs Chelsea as major transfer all but agreed

https://www.caughtoffside.com/2021/05/13/aguero-snubs-Chelsea-for-barcelona-transfer/

Sergio Aguero has reportedly agreed to join Barcelona on a free transfer when his contract with Manchester City expires this summer.

The Argentina international’s move to the Nou Camp looks to be in place as he’s tipped to accept a two-year contract to move back to La Liga, according to Sport.

Aguero’s City departure was recently made official, and it led to some speculation that he could end up staying in the Premier League.

At one point, TyC Sports claimed Chelsea were looking in pole position to win the race for Aguero’s signature, but it seems that is no longer the case.

In fairness, given Aguero’s horror penalty miss for City against Chelsea at the weekend, perhaps the west London giants changed their mind about the player!

The 32-year-old is still a fine player, however, and could have an impact as a squad player at Barca, even if he seems unlikely to be a regular in the starting XI.
