But Villa getting £70M from them is fair game right

At what point do we walk away due to Man City getting their slice?

That'd be classless af and arguably as detestable as the Ashley years if we ever go down that route.

Given Jamie Reuben is good friends with Tod Boehly I'm not sure that tactic would get very far.

I think they just rate our transfer business over the last couple of years so figure any player we have targeted must be worth having.

Would make sense with how much he has dropped off to be fair

Also doubling the clicks on a no news weekend.

Very risky signing for the amount of money they are paying. As already mentioned above, they are still one player down from last season (Watson) and about 15 million down on player transfers (Paid out: Le Fee + Bellingham payment to Birmingham + Diarra - Paid in: Bellingham + Watson). I'm certainly not sure that is smart business at all.

I was thinking that but now The Athletic is reporting it it's probably true

I think so. Some family member claimed that he was actually 5 years older iirc. I don't think it was ever concluded though.

Chelsea’s approach is likely motivated in large part by stopping us from strengthening. We’re one of their closest rivals now and they’ll be terrified of us overtaking them so either taking our targets or driving up the fee for us is dreamland for them

I'm not convinced Chelsea are after him, think it's Brighton trying to drive his price up

Is he one that is potentially older than they think he is? Hence why he was so good at junior level because he was actually a few years older

Wew. Another “out of the blue” transfer!

This summer, man.....

Moukoko who we were linked with a few windows back has left Dortmund for FC Copenhagen. He was capped by Germany at 17 and is still just 20. Did he turn into shit or what happened?

Nkunku bench warming replacement.

These wonder kids are getting burnt out in record time. Didn’t we make an offer for him a few years back?

Does Karius know Spanish? 😅

Hope he becomes this era's Shay Given, just with feet.

Aye fair enough, only looked at his who scored page which showed the last 10 or so games. Never heard of the lad before today. Fingers crossed he's the second coming of Didier N'Dong

Just checking the comments to that post and all the Chelsea fans under it are not happy that they’re going for him, makes it more annoying if they do get him because I think he would be brilliant for us

Hopefully just Brighton releasing stuff to press to hurry us up but probably not. At some point we're going to have to start stumping up the money clubs want for players otherwise this is going to be a common theme.
