Apparently PSG is open to loan Neymar with obligation to buy next summer because of the FFP issues. Like they got Ramos or Mbappe before. With general consensus that we don't need to buy almost anyone in the next couple of years we could afford this easily. Imagine how useful Neymar would be against all these lesser sides we struggle to score plus is creative which we are lacking. 

You'd surely take Neymar for 50-60 mil. I really don't think he'd be a locker room problem as suggested.

Not because of the first game but because he is crying all summer about new DM and may end up with no one while we are getting two biggest gems in the league on that position including his number one target. 

ah got you. 👍 he did get a very good CM tho and a cheap one at that. Liverpool will field a strong team regardless and IMO they've got more ready players than we do.

I hope for a tight game... like we show competitiveness, that we can handle big teams, from the get go. I'm fairly insecure about this first showing because of the number of unknowns.

Why isn't Verratti included in Enrique's plans tho?

And if any of that is actually true, we should try to get him. I mean imagining addition of verrati + one DM, probably something too much to ask for

I don't rate Verrati. Yes, he's got excellent performances under his belt, but also pretty poor showings. I've seen him go missing way too many times in CL matches to want him. He's also not exactly what we need to complement Enzo in midfield. 

I also think he's not much of a team player, so I'd trust PSG on this one. They seem to have finally figure out why they aren't competitive, and do seem to be on the right track; prob a little too late to keep Mbappe tho.

Lavia bid could be because of Paqueta to City, this opens up Gallagher to West Ham.

[Special Juan 28,096]

Could be some real substance in the noises that we have pushed some cash from the Livramento sale back to Southampton as a softener for Lavia

[Mhsc 1,093]

Must be making a switch to 4-3-3 because of Nkunku’s injury surely, otherwise we are moving for way too many CMs. If we are, maybe we are looking at Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia, Santos and Adams with Ugo out on loan and possible cashing in on Gallagher?

Sounds like Kepa to Bayern is really moving forward- loan with option to buy.

And ofc they wont use that option after they saw him play. Shitty deal for us. We need another GK this window and will have that Kepa problem again next summer, having a 3rd choice GK on 10m/y.

Lavia bid rejected.

[TheHulk 2,403]

This club is allergic to good days in a row Lavia bid rejected, Pepa from obligation went to optional..

Sounds realistic. I’m positive we could get Lavia in a heartbeat if we really wanted him. But surely we will not buy all three; Adam’s, Lavia and Caicedo. Anyway I am not that invested in Caicedo and don’t mind pulling out here. Lavia and Adam’s would be ok as well. But I still think it is more likely that we only bid for Lavia to annoy Pool.

switch to 433 is more than likely. I think even with Chuckwu we had more of a mid three than a proper no 10. Anyway, we need a goalscorer again otherwise all eggs are in Jackson’s basket

Wtf is this shit. Really should reject that. Bayern always try to do these weird deals . Stingy pricks . Pay up or shut up. 

[Special Juan 28,096]

City want Paqueta and looks like a bit of a sweetener will be Cole Palmer going to WHU on loan.

[Pizy 18,852]

Until there’s been a briefing like there was last night about the Lavia bid then we don’t know whether the bid has been rejected or not. Just wait for that.
