The Prophet

Have we done the briefing here...

Didn't he allegedly want a guarantee on minutes?

If we agree a fee with Liverpool, I have no doubt he'd be interested. He'd be a bit mad not to keep his options open.

In the medium term for sure. There was always an element of succession planning.

They always have been, but feels unlikely given they've just signed Pedro.

Doesn't really feel like an update. They're obviously just trying to unsettle him.

Following a similar pattern to the Tonali deal this. News broke somewhat out the blue, our first couple of bids were knocked back and we sorted it two to three days later.

Not sure we're being used by Frankfurt, they'll just want a fee as close to the release clause as possible.

Romano has.

Hard to tell, seems to have been ahead of the UK news so far though.

Sometimes see them on Twitter, but usually get sent them in our group WhatsApp from back home.

The Athletic and Sky tend to be super cautious and go for triple verification before reporting anything. It means they're frequently behind, but usually spot on with their info.

You'd imagine if this is a goer we'll see significant progress tomorrow. Reminds me of the Tonali deal where we moved inside two to three days to see off any competition.

Oof, naughty.

Fab broke this one, but fair play to Edwards for getting one right for a change.

Decent analysis from the Sherminator.

The ambition is exciting like, feels like we've properly put our nuts on the table.
