Wtf is this obsession with tiny cbs. First kounde now ake.  both are inadequate 

esp ake who is still the exact same player we rightly gave away for peanuts years ago 

I guess for playing ball from the back? Pep also got him as well for that. But he got far better players in first spot. Ake is just a replacement to Andreas. Andrea ain't WC but was a good sub option to have for depth. 

That being said I think there's better target out there.

Centre half's aint just there to head the ball away any more, u don't have to be tall to be a good defender or strong depends on what you want I guess.

Looks like United will win the Battle of the Tortoises against us and sign players before we do. 🤦‍♂️

When you can't beat Man City, buy them 😂

If Juve want us to pay the full release clause for De Ligt then they can go fuck themselves. 

I'd honestly rather take Srinkiar. I think he is a better defender. In fact the lad is a monster.

I don't fucking get it. Romano said Juve were willing to do cash + Werner, what the fuck changed?

Why is this bollocks only happening to us?

Di Marzio said that, that's a big difference

Seems like all the top Italian clubs are the same.  They demand mega fees when you want to buy their players but then they’re unbelievably cheap bastards when they’re trying to sign players themselves. It’s always loans or payment installments.

Looks like United just gazumped Lyon for Malacia.

Just ignore anything from Tuttosport, Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport.

Considering. Plotting. Thinking about.

It has been pretty widely reported what sort of fee Leeds are seeking. Just offer around £60m and they’ll sell.

why not give a little more wage for dembele?

If Juventus play hard ball with De Ligt it does present a serious problem of consideration if he is, as it would seem, the number one choice at centre back for the club.

Do you move on to another target that you're possibly less enthused about and still pay big money? Bearing in mind an opportunity will come up again on De Ligt next summer if he refuses to extend with Juventus because he'll only have one year on his contract at that point.

I don't like the idea of moving for targets lower down the list, it's something we should be moving away from as we've been burnt this way countless times, none more so than Lukaku last summer. But in this situation it's easier said than done to remain patient when we do need some sort of defensive reinforcement this summer.

Just a note regarding Skriniar. I like him but no way on earth should we be willing to pay what Inter are asking for him as he has one year left on his deal. If City end up selling Jesus and Sterling for around the £50m mark in the same contract situation, there's no way Skriniar represents any value whatsoever at 70-80m.
