No,..but it means they might be more desperate to offload players like Skriniar.

Not sure why Chelsea isn't showing more interest..well, at least I hope we are showing interest, behind the scenes.

the days of quietly working on deals behind the scenes maybe over. Interest in a player is clear weeks before a bid

Didnt they say Skriniar only wants PSG? And they already have personal terms agreed?

this is true I fear

we have 4 targets we simply must grab now or (more likely) January or summer 2023

Bellingham

Rice

Gvardiol

Osimhen

now IF Reece leaves (highly doubtful) to Real, there would be a 5th, Hakimi

Nkunku would be nice, but so hard to pull IF we us the real deal and not a one year wonder, plus, there is Florian Wirtz next summer to ponder as well (he will be fully heathy by then) PLUS a fully fit Chiesa in the mix as well

finally, I still want Theo Hernández and Nicolò Barella

those 10 in bold are the only players out there who TRULY interest me atm and are even remotely available

(this assumes we miss out on Milan Škriniar this window, as he is the only CB left not named Gvardiol I actually want)

I've heard rumours that Bayern are interested in Osimhen. If they manage to sign him....

For all the hate thrown on Bayern for their "poaching" tactics & such, they seem to always reinforce properly, which I'm certainly envious of in comparison to how we have done business for many years.

The harsh reality, unfortunately. [That we are very unlikely to have realistic chances of signing Nkunku.]

The same could probably be said about Gvardiol too, unless we manage to get some agreement in place.

We won't be able to get such a deal in place.

Balls of steel from Koulibaly

So, Bayern gonna win the league by 20 points next season? How enjoyable.

I think it's another case of this now or never. It hinges on the Kounde deal, but it's hard to actually keep track of what is factual on Twitter.

Chelsea is preparing to submit an official bid for De Jong. The player isn't interested to sign with United.

Thinking more about it, why are Barca (who have already spent a shit load despite their financial issues) going so hard after Koundé when they’ve got Araujo, Christensen, and Pique? They don’t play with a back 3, right? I know Pique is old but it seems stupid for them to go out and spend huge money on a position that’s not a priority.

Then again, it’s Barca. They never do what’s sensible.

Let them fuck themselves. It will be satisfying to watch them burn even though that probably won't happen.

True, but I’d rather them crash and burn without continually stealing our primary targets! 🤣

I would love De Jong but can't see it being true. 

[Pizy 18,360]

We would have to get rid of like 3-4 midfielders for De Jong to make sense. Sounds like the usual shite Catalan sources putting 2+2 together and making 5. Us spending £70m on a player in our most loaded area of the squad would be pretty silly.

Now, if we could get shot of RLC, Barkley, and one other it would be a stellar signing.
