at sam fender tomorrow but not much on for us tonight so jut raking through youtube again. still spinetingling - every video. "Més que un club"

We may never sign a player again.

Yes, exactly. Even as a flip if it doesn't pan out, it would be worth it. In the meantime, like you say, worst case scenario, he'd be a useful squad player with Champions League experience.

That’s usually what happens before a bid goes in isn’t it? The Guehi transfer became a tedious saga but it seems like he was keen to come.

Let's hope so. Nailing some of these sort of under valued signings is a quick way to make big progress as it saves so much money that could be then used elsewhere on the squad. This really does look like yet another transfer Bournemouth will nail. Reminds me of the Kluivert deal, which has paid off massively for them. They got him for even cheaper, less than £10 million.

This is one of those signings that the smaller clubs buy, develop and sell for £60m in a years time. I know nothing about him tbh but if we've cast our eye on him im pretty certain he'll have a lot about him

I agree

Even if he doesn't ccome good here, i.e a bit underwhelming and Murphy ends up being preferring more times ahead of him than not, at 17m we should probably be able to turn a profit on him after a season or two unless he absolutely stinks the place out, which it doesn't look like he would. Edit: Very low risk signing we absolutely should be in for. Edit edit: And of course if he comes good, we've got a fantastic bargain that allows us to focus more resources on other needed positions.

We still interested in Roger Fernandes? Looks mint

amazing.

Portugal 4-0 Poland Poland can't defend. (U21)

He has one year left so will be lower because of that. Apparently Arsenal and Bournemouth in for him.

Seems a low fee on the face of it but if Eddie/Nickson etc haven't earmarked him as top priority, happy for us to pass on the deal. They'll know better and hopefully will secure a top target in the position.

Everton fans said the same about Gordon tbf. Personally not seen him play so can’t comment.

You’re very much getting 17m worth of player according to PSV fans. IMO, with the CL qualification we need to pull away from teams now and if we have money we should get the best rw that will agree to join us (and can afford).

This will be so annoying if he goes elsewhere in the Prem and does well. He's a talented player and is still so young. We were supposedly keen for a while but got put off by this past season. But I think it was a bit of a weird one because I don't think PSV were happy with him not signing a new contract, and so messed him about a bit. This fee is crazy low, and if we saw something in him previously, surely we ought to have another look?!

I was watching the u19’s England game earlier and Kiano Dyer massively stood out to me. Looked him up and he’s also at Chelsea.

Geovany Quenda bossing this u21 game. Checks wiki - going to Chelsea. Of course 😂 1 goal, 2 assists in 30 minutes.

Got Bournemouth written all over him. We will take 2 months bartering for Elanga at a price we can’t match thank you very much

If true, that's a no brainer. But he has West Ham/Villa written all over him

He could be available for half a packet of tabs - we still wouldn’t move quick enough to secure him.

Someone will take a gamble at that price

Pretty naive to not think the wages Man Utd can offer isn't their biggest pull atm. Unless its trying to sign a player who's been a fan since childhood. The history, getting to play in front of 75k fans and potential of the club if they get their shit together is a nice bonus, but if they aren't paying above what other interested clubs are offering, I can't see why anyone would choose Man Utd. You'er kind of in the situation we were in early 00's after missing out on CL. Only reason we got (shitty) big names in was because of what we paid them more than anyone else would.
