I am going to call it

Mike Maignan is soon at Chels

no more semi critical bleeps from me

although I had other (better IMHO) targets over the past few years, he will almost certainly be a MASSIVE improvement over anything we have now (unless Penders blows up in a few years)

EXCLUSIVE: Bruno Fernandes has REJECTED Al Hilal proposal.  Despite crazy contract proposal from the Saudi Pro League club, Bruno Fernandes wants to continue playing football in Europe. Man United captain wants to play at top level in Europe. Decision made.

Mike Maignan Interview notes with @NimaTavRood

Pro’s :

- Him and Donnarumma are the only keepers he’s seen who can make “impossible” saves which leave the ground stunned, there will be some games where you’re like “how the hell did he just do that”

- Will allow Maresca to play with a higher defensive line

- 1v1 is his best attribute

- Strong cross claimer, he’s a very strong and active GK

- Winning mentality and leadership is strong, Milan sources say it’s by far his best attribute

- Brilliant with the ball at his feet, easily beats the press of teams, especially with long range passes

- Bad season for Milan but has had big moments, especially against important teams such as Inter

- Extremly fast for a goalkeeper, comes quick off his line

- Good reader of play

- Maignan is not another Onana, he’s a much better shot stopper

Con’s :

- concedes a lot down his bottom right corner, his main weaknesss

- Gets random injuries on the pitch like finger injuries from colliding with players or players stepping on him

- Form has been a bit inconsistent over the last 2 seasons, but Milan’s defence is shocking and it’s unclear whether it’s Maignan; defence or a bit of both

Verdict : will be a great signing if he can stay fit and work out the structure and organisation with the defence, which is a big part of how good or not he can be because when he has confidence he’s amazing.

Most of his mistakes are either his low right hand side weakness or mix ups with the Milan defence who aren’t good.

I see the potential Maignan signing as the board may have slightly switched on to both experience and quality that is needed and also Maresca thinking deeply and in advance of how we should be playing. The fact they have gone for a keeper fills with with a bit confidence that they might actually get this window as close to right as they can

Chelsea are ready to put €25m on the table for Mike Maignan who is keen on the move to Stamford Bridge.

(via@86_longo)

Mike Maignan is open to a move to Chelsea following positive talks. Lack of Champions League football has presented a ‘market opportunity’ for Chelsea and could force Milan to sell for £20-25m plus add-ons.

Sancho will find a home that suits him it's just not here and the decision was right by the club not to do this. If we are to elevate ourselves and be anything going forward we need better than Sancho and this club don't normally make right choices of late but this is one for both parties.

Fabrizio has apparently reiterated that we’re currently negotiating for Gittens. Guess we should prepare ourselves for this to happen, then.

Infinitely better than splashing any kind of money on bloody Garnacho but still super underwhelming. Just have to hope that we snag ourselves another Palmer and not another Madueke/Mudryk.

His dribbling and aggression in the highlights I’ve watched look great but that’s what I thought of Mudryk when we bought him. Then in the PL he looked like a terrified child.

One interesting question is if we do sign Mike for GK, who is our number 2 next year?

Surely Sanchez never accept that. Doubt Petrovic will, but maybe? Jorgensen is terrible and if we got stuck having to play him for a long period it would basically be writing off the season.

I guess in an ideal world Petrovic will suck it up and agree to compete for at least a season with Mike? It seems like a total waste tho.

I think that Petrovic will end up going to Milan.
