The Prophet

No idea if this guy is reliable.

a) he was right b) more importantly, he got a lot of engagement from that Tweet?

We're believing the Italian media now?

Nunez's problem seems to be a bit of the old clinical thickness.

Not really sure how he still gets the attention he does tbh.

Steady on.

Frustrating stuff.

I also thing they're more likely to aim higher i.e Costa or ter Stegen.

Unlikely, but this could also be Burnley trying to break the deadlock and get us to pay up.

Aye, could be a first refusal thing.

Fwiw I think we were right to stand our ground on the £40 million, but it did feel like an inevitably.

Christ.

Where's that?

Bare in mind we've pitched for Huijsen and Delap in that time and advanced for Pedro and Ekitike too. We're not going to get knocked back every time.

The clubs that move fast are the ones that aren't shackled by PSR. Even the likes of Arsenal take a while to get major deals done.

"Uefa's laws prohibit any associated party transactions, therefore meaning money generated from selling the women's team would not be included in their Financial Fair Play figures." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c9vekz4m393o

I'd be amazed if he wants to go to Saudi in the pomp of his career.

Probably a nothing story, at worst it's his agent trying to press us on the new contract.

Its £100 million more than the world record transfer fee

Because it's clearly not fair value for money.

It'd be worth zero book value with UEFA and wouldn't make it past the fair value for money test with the PL. Plus why would you want to sell him?

Wouldn't get past UEFA or the PL.

Debatable.

Let's wait and see. I'll always judge the window when it's closed, but we need to get a move on for sure. In theory if we're moving away from top tier targets, deals should be easier to do, but if we're going round in circles with the likes of Trafford and Guehi, we'll struggle to get what we need.
