Might be wrong but I seem to recall that Watford wanted a big fee for Pedro so we backed out and they then got him to sign a new contract. I think Watford then sold him to Brighton the following window for less than they wanted from us.

What's people's thoughts on Ousmane Diomande? He used to get hyped loads a year or so ago, now the hype has died down. 21 years old, 6ft 3, rapid, good 1 v 1, amazing in the air, and supposedly very progressive with his passing / making runs. €80m release clause, though he has 2 years left on his deal now, so wonder if it could be negotiated lower. Highly praised, good data metrics but most importantly, he passes the YouTube highlights test

I'm not so sure Man Utd would be as big a draw if it weren't for the wages right now

How is this known by anyone?

Not quite so easy when the reported 'primary' targets are the ones that the other clubs are doing business for. Despite footballing logic right now, Man U are still a bigger draw to players, plus wages. Chelsea, bigger draw plus wages. And so on atm until it reaches our turn so to speak.

Or be David Moyes.

Didn’t receive any email about auto renewing and had money taking out what on earth is going on.

Eddie wants us to move early, and the club needs to move early to secure primary targets. Agreed it's only the 3rd but other clubs have started doing business.

2nd half away at Brentford I think.

Got to remember as we get better players we can be more flexible and have more options. We can stop being a 433 team and alter it on a game by game basis. The way we ended the season I wouldn't be comfortable in saying we are a back 3, 4 or 5 team. Same can happen throughout the team.

Big Joe and Little João.

It’s not many times it has happened, but we have played with Isak/Wilson together. Sure it was the Fulham game where we ended up winning 1-0. We looked pretty good from what I remember. Certain games Isak could definitely do with a hand up there.

A little brother for Bruno and Big Joe.

Think it was Douglas who said it when talking about our striker targets.

Still none the wiser here like, nothing gone out the bank no email saying anything has failed. Good distraction from all the transfer rumours TBF.

If we were to go with two up top like he did at Bournemouth, yeah.

Top 8 is definitely enough. Just need to see improvement now. We're an easy fanbase to keep on your side. Just don't lose every other game.

Not that ridiculous, but still too much for us. I'd take him for £55m.

West Ham want £65 million for Kudus.

Was kind of thinking you'd need to be loitering around the top 8 or so by then. Long summer ahead as well so maybe too early to say. Don't know what your thoughts are or whether that'll be enough. Edit, as a minimum or whether that's a fast enough improvement, no idea what the expectations are.

Wouldn’t mind dropping 50m for Maignan plus either Thiaw or Tomori

I don't know why anyone is even negative? Because Mitchell is leaving? A couple of weeks ago we were buzzing for this summer.

That would be a great upgrade on Pope. Perhaps worth getting over Trafford for for an immediate Alison esque equivalent for the first team

Either way, if it's real, it's the worst kit ever created.
