This has looked the most likely outcome for a number of weeks now so at least we've had time to come to terms with it. I'd have preferred to sign Gnarby but I'd still have been delighted if we landed Dembele. Edited June 27, 2022 by OhForAGreavsie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhForAGreavsie 6,083 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Pizy said: This latest Dembele reporting on Twitter I’m seeing makes zero sense. The entire reason there have even been rumors of him wanting out of Barca is because they cannot afford his wages and want him to take a dramatic pay cut which he didn’t want to do. But now all of a sudden he will accept a pay cut? Will be a massive shame if it’s true because signing him on a free would’ve helped us in a major way. The money saved without a gigantic transfer fee could’ve been used elsewhere in the team. Now we’re probably going to do something stupid like paying £60m for Richarlison instead. My belief is that Dembele has just been using the interest of other clubs to drive up Barca's offer but that staying put has been his preference all along. Only when he's certain that he's seen Barcelona's best offer will he actually make his decision' It would be no surprise if he accepted Barca even if they don't make the best offer.

If Dembele didn't happen, i guess Sterling, De Ligt, Raphinha, Kimpembe, and Clauss. No idea about LWB/LB with Marina gone, Sosa might no longer our target.

ZAPHOD2319 4,822 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I would love to know what was said in the meeting between Petr and Todd? Cech seemed like he was so good for the club. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evident we need another holding midfielder this season, unless we want to take our chances with Ampadu/Gilmour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Lot of reports suggesting we may sign both Sterling and de Ligt this week. The Athletic claiming the Sterling deal is done and we are apparently 10m away or so from meeting Juve's valuation on de Ligt.

Superblue 6,372 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 1 hour ago, Pizy said: Speaking of kits, wtf is up with our new ones? They’re normally unveiled during the previous season and worn on the last match day, right? The sanctions ended ages ago now and there have been leaked photos of our shirts for weeks, if not months. What is the club waiting for I wonder? Main kit sponsor isn’t changing so that’s not it. Maybe they want a new signing to be front and centre of the promotion of it. To be fair Sterling given his standing in the Premier League, the national team, etc would fit that bill pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason to buy Richarlison is for CF these are pretty much all the remotely viable (talent and/or near term potential-wise) CF's on the board (one is not available until next summer) who would come here and are actually available (so no Kane, no Lewa, no Lautaro) some are more SS than CF (I will label those) CF CF/SS/Winger CF CF CF CF CF 43 league goals last season CF/Winger non pure or non mostly CF's: SS/AMF/CF €60m (£51.6m) release clause, BUT not until next summer SS/CF CF/Winger/SS SS/CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
