Not true. Napoli wanted him in January and Villa wanted him in the summer

Never really seen much of him, remember our club now base's transfers on data which is a bit  ridiculous but does have a bit of merit. I can't see why wr would need so many forwards who all expect to start every game. Its not going to add to team spirit. When we played we were never happy when a big name joined us as it threatened our place in the team.

I would get it if we was not in for Simons but I don't get going for both. It seems overkill and players will not be happy. Palmer will start majority of games at no.10, you would imagine. Sometimes he will be out on the wide right, but then the AM role, Enzo often plays there and Estevao can play there too.

Also, I get Estevao is young, but we all have seen he has the talent, so where does he fit in. I was not expecting Gittens to start, but we now have him, Neto and Simons and Garnacho if they join who both can play there. Seems too much players. If Simons comes, I think that LW spot becomes his when Palmer is in the no.10 role so then we have how many players waiting to come of bench? This season it is good to have a big squad, but we don't want a scenario where players get unhappy quick time and rotating all the time is not good for cohesion. Let's see.

Talsk have taken place on players side for Garnacho, we have to just tell ourselves he is coming and deal with it

I keep telling myself this can only be happening as part of some kind of swap deal that's mutually favourable

Maybe they take Nkunku or pay top dolla for NJ idk but surely we're not just buying him with straight up cash like plebs

I'm not a big fan of Garnancho, but I like how he fights to join us. He rejects all offers, Chelsea is the only club he wants. 

Chelsea are the ONLY club that wants him

That, or he and his representatives have made it crystal clear to any other enquiring clubs that he ONLY wants us so they shouldn’t bother. 

As bang average as I think he is, he’s still only 21 and PL proven at the biggest club in the PL. Plenty of clubs around Europe including big ones would probably love to take a punt on him. But someone at our club has clearly convinced him that he needs to come here.

Bayer Leverkusen and Napoli both wanted him but he wants to stay in the PL. Villa too. I think people have judged him as if he is the finished article. He scored 6 goals and 7 goals in the league past 2 seasons. Not great, but in a awful team set up, it is decent, considering how bad United have been. Had a brilliant performance at the Bridge couple seasons ago in that dramatic game. But. yeah only 21. I like that he doesn't hide and always willing to try and beat his man and have a go. He needs to work on this, but I think he may surprise people in a few years.

Different topic but I don't see arguments that put United ahead of Liverpool. CL titles make the difference for me.

I guess personally I just kind of put more stock in being the dominant PL era club than Liverpool winning a bunch of titles a hundred years ago. You don’t go 30 years or whatever it was without winning the league if you’re the biggest club in the country.

They are the second biggest of course.

Loan to Leipzig would be good as long as they have serious minutes for him. If they do then they'd presumably want a buy option. Depending on how strongly Tyrique feels about moving on then, as long as there's a serious value on the option, it could be a good solution.

[Pizy 19,280]

George gonna be sacrificed for the arrival of Garnacho. That’s pretty fucked up, tbh.

He certainly needed a loan because I didn’t see where he’d have played outside of League Cup games. But I can see a permanent sale with buy back option or right to match option.

 

[TheHulk 2,647]

Loan him out, he will be worth more next summer if he has a decent year.

Quantum physics is going to change so much we thought wasn't possible. 

true

but the simple maths of '50 per cent less distance each day will still never yield reaching the goal of contact' will not change

[mkh 759]

🍀I understand George wants to play regularly, and that's not possible at Chelsea in the foreseeable future.

Gittens is there, Neto is there, Quenda is joining next summer.

Ryan Kavuma-McQueen is there. 

Chelsea also wants to sign Garnacho, Palmer is there, Estevao is there, and Simons is also about to arrive.

Where else does George want to play? Left wing is taken, right wing is taken, attacking midfield is taken, center forward is taken...

In addition, top talents such as Paez, Mheuka, Walsh, Satpaev
and Rabbaj have not even been mentioned in this list.

Genuine interest or attempt to keep Leipzig honest? 

If genuine, for loan or for the squad?

If for loan, stay in Lyon or look for a Premier League host?

IF we did buy Fofana and not Garnacho, surely it is for the first team now

our LWers would be Gittens and Fofana (Tyrique would very likely be loaned out or maybe even sold with a buyback)

I can so live with that

Christopher Nkunku won’t be training tomorrow due to minor injury. Player and management have agreed to postpone his return.

Injured whilst not playing football= he's going and this is bullshit

Wonder where to. Haven’t really been any recent credible rumors. Just that Inter could be interested if Lookman fell through. But now Lookman has put in a transfer request and put pressure on Atalanta so I assume that gets done. 

Wonder if he’d agree to return to Leipzig.

As long we get a decent healthy amount I don't care
