If we are after Digne it's likelu because there has been some encouragement by the agent. Expect we are low on his list of options but still on it. PL is probably a high priority which is why we aren't moving on to Tagliafico yet? Tbf we could actually be after a 3rd LB as our number one priority. Don't think the press have a scooby what's actually going on!

Some more on Ramsey. Interview with Sky Italy correspondent Francesco Cosatti. Likely already posted, if so, sorry! https://www.skysports.com/amp/football/news/12040/12475651/aaron-ramsey-whats-gone-wrong-for-former-arsenal-midfielder-at-juventus "There are many aspects. First of all, the many injuries and physical problems. Ramsey has never finished two consecutive games in full at Juventus.

If Ryan Sessegnons body didn't seem so knackered he might be worth a sneaky loan bid. He would also likely be playing for spurs. Torrid season for him.

It would be nice to see him cameo but I can understand the risk of playing him, even for 10 mins or so with a lower league team that might fancy a few harder and wreckers tackles. Trippier is very fit and only played a couple of days ago. Getting him match fit isn't an issue. A cameo won't do much more than training with the squad and training matches in terms of aclimatizing him. He has played at SJP and in the PL before so it's not like he should need any time bedding into the league.

If he is actually interested in the move I reckon we will get him. We are surely going back in for him. Can't be getting him and botman if they both just play LCB. The thought of him next to Lascelles scares the shit out of me though. We definitely need a calm intelligent head that will organize and relax the backline. Maybe trippier will do that.

it is "monitoring" for the new age. That or this is our new interview question list: Where's your life headed? How do you think you will die? What are the highest and lowest points of your life? What is holding you back from being the person you want to be? How have your strengths help you to succeed? ... What are your biggest goals for your life? ... Who are you really?

The worry is less about money, if we buy him and he doesn't work out he will be replaced with better. It's more a worry for me if him coming in blocks another CM coming in that would contribute more. If we get a monster DM and bring Ramsey in too I am all for it. He is worth a gamble and I think he will absolutely be motivated.

They have dressed him up as a soldier and are using Zimmer staggered arrangement of nimrod from Dunkirk with the tag line.. "He's come home."

Was pictured waving goodbye to a fan from the bench though. Edit: could have been picking his nose.

Is that nearer to 59 or 58 though?

Blind optimism and a private jet from Switzerland lol

Seems pretty nailed on he will end up at Villa or Arsenal. Only reports linking him to us the past few weeks have been about him not being interested. Can absolutely see him at Villa with Gerrard.

It's Antero Henrique, he is just in high heels.

That is who is standing next to trippier in the picture to be fair.

Lewis and Manquillo are solid backups for the short term. Lewis is still young enough we could potentially loan him out next year. I wouldn't write him off completely yet.

According to Romano we want two CB's this window and an entirely new back four, so it's possible.

He is definitely nearer to 29 than when you posted that fwiw.

I don't doubt Howe would love to reunite and have the pair of them prove everyone wrong. It was just too early in his development in the PL and in a team that didn't quite work for him at the time.

Plus he can share a ride with Ashworth. Sorted.

Dat Brazilian spine after we also bring in Gabriel Barbosa.

On one hand we have the press linking us to Vlahovic, Alvarez, Nunez and Dembele then we have links to Solanke, Nketiah, Morelos and Brereton. Silly season but hope we pick from list A lol.

Freddy Shepherds bulked up and returned from beyond.

‘more popular than a mulled wine on a cold winter’s day’.

Hasn't he already said he has no interest? Wants to move to Spain? Sounds like the Digne situation. Might be available, isn't very interested. Could happen later in the window if nothing else transpires for them.

Most people seem down on Umtiti. I don't watch Barca. Is he over the hill? He is only 28 isn't he. Should be coming to his best years as a CB. He has apparently turned down a bunch of clubs including fenerbache as he wants to move to a CL club fighting for titles.
