Heard recently Zirkee was on Bayerns books as a youngster, assume he’s worked with 7-Hag.

 

34m, plus a reported 12m on top to his agent?

 

Someone at United is absolutely taking the piss here if this happens. Who but United (OK, maybe Chelsea) would spend that kind of money on a player who's best attribute is ... that he's a half-decent passer? Oh, he's tall, is that meant to be it? He's not that good at scoring, is actually below average in terms of xG/xA per 90, and that's in Italy! I might humbly suggest that if you aren't very good at scoring or creating goals, you're probably not a very good attacker.

 

Either it's all his agent using friendly journos to build up his reputation or United aren't going to be any better at recruitment under their supposed new regime than they were under the last one.

If he adds two union jacks to his twitter profile, Big Sir Jim Ratcliffe will definitely buy him.

[sir roger]

If the present incumbent of the England shirt at a young age, Guehi, is apparently available for 55m or so, I cant see Everton getting near the 80m they are talking about.

[El Dangerous]

Everton would be much better off selling Onana for whatever they can get and DCL. The lad Branthwaite will be worth more than both of them together in a year or two, probably would be now if the pressure to sell wasn’t on them.

What does that even mean? If they're not solving all their financial problems with the deal, they might as well take the 2 point deduction for failing PSR. They clearly don't want to sell "braithwaite" otherwise. You'd think the "get real" would come from Everton to that slippery tax dodging cunt.

Apparently the mancs have offered £35m + £8m for Branthwaite and The Ev wants £70m. 
 

As Sir Roger said, Guehi is only a couple of years older, currently the better player (if you class international selection as a barometer) and available for less. 
 

I’d think I’d be happy with us signing Guehi.

[John102]

Branthwaite is significantly better than Guehi, for my money. Significantly better.

[3 Stacks]

Guehi is a short centre back who doesn't also play fullback.

 

Branthwaite, though it's hard to confirm whether he is actually any good for a couple reasons, is 6 foot 5 and left footed. He is just a way more interesting profile.

[El Dangerous]

I think if you spend £55m on Guehi you get a £55m player. If you spend £40m on Branthwaite you’re getting a potentially £100m player down the road. You can see where Everton are getting their valuation from. Still, beggars and choosers etc.

Guehi is not better than Branthwaite. 

[Lee909]

I like Guehi but I'm not sure if he is more than a penalty box defender. He could well be but hard to judge playing at Palace 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

We’re apparently close to signing a “wonder kid” defender from Wolves. 
 

Alvin Ayman. 
 

Are we signing Theodore too?

 

Do, do, do do do do!
Do, do, do do do do!

Time to bump up the fee the mancs have to pay. 40 million plus 8 million add ons.

Not entirely sure how this is different to Red Bull clubs or Girona & City…

By adding another 10 million?

The rule only came in recently and City signed Savio from Troyes not Girona (he was on loan at Girona) so they aren't in the same competition.

 

If Utd want Todibo they'd have to sign him for next season or, presumably, not register him for European competition.

So boring real Madrid. Obviously you see why players want to go to Madrid but christ they bore me, players who join them bore me. The Original state backed wankers.

[sir roger]

They're welcome to him, gormless looking twat

Being honest Sir Roger, I think Braithwaite is an incredible talent. Sometimes you see a player and you know they will get to the very top. I have that feeling with him. I see him going to City in the next two years. I'd love him here.

 

I see the Blueshite have been linked with that Irish kid at Lyon, Jake O'Brien. Is he any good? Maybe, he could be a replacement for Braithwaite.

[Dave D]

Last summer there were 2 guys linked constantly, one was Thuram, who was the other guy? Im sure they were both in the French league

Thuram was in the French league, Manu Kone was at Mönchengladbach

It was Kone at Gladbach.

 

It looked like being him or Thuram at one point until Endo showed up and we started chucking 100m at Caiceido

I just think there are times we are happy to let agents link us with players. It's not that we have zero interest, but we're pretty unlikely to want them, but to help the agent we don't shutdown the discussion, in the hope it helps us with the agent down the line.
