Well they also need someone in that position. It’s not like he’d be brought in just to look pretty in the corner. He’s a decent enough player - but like you say, not £90m good.
He is Man Utd’s #1 target in midfield too.
Well, that’s a race I’m happy we’re not involved in. Same for Sancho.
I suppose if Man U paid 80m for Maguire then Rice should be around the same but I’d be surprised if he went for more than 50m, and that’s still too much.
If he goes to Chelsea for 90m then it’;s just another money laundering scheme, like they did with Luiz when he went to PSG and then back to Chelsea.
Not sure expensive frees are the best path to success for Barca.
No? Juventus kept picking up expensive free transfers and it’s totally worked out for them. Everyone says they’re so smart in the market.
And the shittiest transfer announcement goes to…
Creative…
done in 3 minutes by an IT technician…that’ll do guys, that’ll do!
Unfortunately all the budget went to Alaba’s signing bonus.
Konate to Liverpool done.
Leipzig need two need CBs!
If I’m Wolfsburg rn I’d smuggle LaCroix to an undisclosed location and get him to sign a new deal immediately.
I wish we could get big transfers done this quickly and efficiently
You could make the argument that we did that with the Partey transfer. It obviously hasn’t really worked out.
There’s too much pedigree though not to believe in this working out.
Pretty much every midfielder we have would be probably sacrificed by most before Partey makes that list.
Haha, what transfer has?
Most of our recent signings aren’t quite working out. Apart from Tierney who has fitness concerns the others have been iffy for one reason or another.
I hear you but I also think we’re not using him correctly. Factor in that there’s AFCON this winter and he’ll be exhausted after and a WC the following winter in Qatar and it feels like we’re never really going to get a full season out of him. He’s definitely not the midfield Jesus we were told he would be.
“Genius” Barca strikes again.
They genuinely haven’t learned a thing.
Donnarumma as 2nd goalkeeper when you’re financially tight? Yeah great idea.
Chelsea linked with Lukaku, Kane and Haaland. Man City on the other hand…
