And there it is. Only took 30 seconds.

Probably bullshit, but interesting bullshit...

Was about to say no way a £100m bid goes unreported but then maybe there are dozens we don't know about!

Is he really that good?

He’s better than Caicedo I reckon. But probably not that good.

He has looked lazy this season, or definitelyless energetic. Their fans have been critical of him.

 

Maybe he is sulking rather than a lack of form. I think he will end up in Saudi, the country rather than the club.

Don't believe a word of it. No way Newcastle don't go public about rejecting a bid. They'd just look at is a good PR to knock back a bid from us

Every club talks to every agent or advisor,mostly just regular conversations given agents are usually part of larger agencies anyhow. There will have been enquiries about almost every player in every major European League and most are unreported as they go nowhere. I reckon Guimares was just another player enquiry in a long line of them. Shitness of Modern Football.

I lot of people talking about replacements in the future for Salah, including targeting players who would need transitioning to LW over from RW. How about playing our own versatile players there? Jota had a few games where he didn't look great at RW, but IMO there is zero reason why a Jota or Gakpo couldn't transition to that position every bit as well as any of the suggested targets.

 

The only one who really fits perfectly well as a left footed RW replacement that is producing at a high level right now would be Saka, but we'd prob have to give the entire fee we get from Salah to even tempt Arsenal IMO given he's 22, english and arguably their best player.

 

It's of some of the other names who are either just potential or aren't really pure RW, I'd transition our existing forwards to RW, sure up other areas of the team, and also have a bit of a go at Evan Ferguson. Obviously we are stocked there, but if you have Jota and Gakpo now covering RW as well as LW, you have more room, and if he looks like being the new Rooney/Kane, I don't know if you pass up a player of that talent, that young who will be home grown. It's going to be difficult enough to fill the home grown quota with players that we can actually acquire and will be good enough to play for us, if you can get one who might be a generational type I think you need to do it if you can.

Just get him signed, another Norwegian diamond.

de Ligt seems to have lost his place at Bayern. Wonder if he's someone we would look at again.

He'd cost a fortune and I'm not sure I'd want a player that's seen as inferior to Upamacano. 

 

I've always thought that De Ligt was incredibly overhyped. He's never really impressed me whenever I've seen him play.

This is what we are here for. Superb

Yea, de ligtful

[El Dangerous]

Imagine the 3pm kickoffs we could enjoy with him in the team. Afternoon De Ligt is my favourite kind.

[Jairzinho]

He'd be incredibly expensive.

 

The moneyball solution would be to find, for example, the Croatian or Slovenian De Ligt, or maybe the...

He’s shite

If his injury hasn't held him back, then it will be a bargain. Top, top prospect.

We have the first line of De Ligt's song when he signs.
