We have no idea of the actualities of it, but my opinion, is that Ziyech really steered this one away from us. I cannot fathom the reality of choosing PSG over a club that is challenging for leagues and just won the UCL.

Unless someone has a bloody proof that is the case, I really can't fathom why people are choosing to stick with a conspiracy theory. Is it because Ziyech is an easy target due to his situation at the club?

Just because we just won the Champions League, it doesn't give us a god's given right to expect players should be choosing us over other clubs, regardless of whether it's PSG or not. 

If the reports are true - in that the club only tried to offer cash + player and didn't push hard for the deal compared to PSG - then is it any wonder why Hakimi chose them over us? Only one club have made him feel wanted and that club ain't us. It never looked like we got into an advanced negotiation stage with Inter because of our offer. It didn't seem like we were willing to pay up straight cash but wanted to low ball by paying smaller amount of money and offering a deadwood to them. Also, Hakimi's decision could be linked to his wife, who apparently is an actress and often goes to Paris and stays there for an extended period of time. Joining PSG would allow them to be together more often etc.

I'm surprisingly calm about transfers... maybe because we just won the CL and have such a young squad and a big one too. I couldn't give a flying fuck about that twat Hikimi..  he wants to play for that Sunday league team in France, so be it. I'm more interested in the striker we need... Haaland. If we only sign him... I'll be happy.

But how will you react if we don't sign Haaland (which has a possibility of it not happening at all)? 👀

Then god have mercy on Timo Werner and the stick he’ll inevitably receive.

You don't think we'll go for another striker if we don't sign Haaland?

Isak maybe. Not sure we linked with anyone else.

It is what it is.. I can't see it not happening, I've already come to tears with it.

A lot of rumours Villa want Tammy for £40m. Got to take that, if true.

My fucking phone has a mind of its own 😆

That rumor was started by Daily Mirror...

Missing out on Hakimi has primed me for missing out on Håland. I am resigned to plan B (Traore) for Hakimi.

Plan B for Håland should be Mbappe, and if not him, Lewa, and if not him, DCL, and if not him, whichever we think is best between these three:  Dusan Vlahovic, Isak, or Youssef En-Nesyri.

They won't pay that amount when they already have Watkins who is their main man.

I see you mention Calvert Lewin often here. You really think he’s good enough? I certainly don’t. I think Everton is his perfect level and he’d struggle with the weight of being at a big club as a massive money signing. He’s basically just a tap in merchant like Chicharito.

That’s not even taking into account the fact that even if we were interested Everton would demand £80m or more and he sure as shit ain’t worth near that.

I am not saying he is the best option, but he certainly seems like Tuchel style player

Exactly we just need someone who can stick away 1 in 3 chances. Not 1 in 6 or 7 like we currently have 👍

 

[Pizy 18,539]

Meh. If we wanted a poacher or strictly penalty box striker we’d just keep Tammy since that’s all he is.

We need someone who offers much more. DCL isn’t good enough for Chelsea and he isn’t scaring any of our rivals if we’re playing them.
