Unless Sevilla decide to turn his request down for fear of Trensa and his mates, or we don’t offer enough cash for them to purchase a replacement etc.

“L’Équipe report that Marseille have been hit with a two-window transfer ban in the wake of the Pape Gueye’s four-month suspension for signing a contract with Watford before joining OM soon after in 2020. The club will have to pay the Premier League side €2.5m as well, although the transfer ban, which would take effect in the summer, will be appealed by Marseille in front of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. As a result, the ban is likely to be a suspended sentence, with the OM management expecting a decision in the next three to six months. Club president Pablo Longoria is said to be optimistic about the situation, meanwhile Watford are also taking the case to the CAS as they were hoping for a €10m sum in compensation.”

Kolasinac has literally signed for them tonight.

He’s on around £40k pw according to a few websites. We’ve allegedly offered to triple his salary to £120k pw. https://www.wtfoot.com/player/diego-carlos/ https://salarysport.com/football/player/diego-carlos/

He’s allegedly currently writing a written transfer request to the president and manager of Sevilla….although fuck knows how the Sky fellas know that.

Diego Carlos has officially asked to leave Sevilla according to the Sky Transfer show.

Hazard has got 5 goals in the last three seasons combined. I’d take Wood over that return.

The majority were top of the championship 6 years ago. They’ve only got worse/older.

Winning everything AND available to play every game.

Move on. We would get Szalai or Uduokhai for this money.

Seriously? You reckon someone will pay him 700k pw after he’s only played 129 games in the last 5 years? That’s a hell of a huge risk.

Fair enough. Either way, if he’s wanting 700k a week like I read, as well as criticising Xavi’s management, then they won’t be keeping him and will be getting rid.

Injuries, plus being allegedly lazy at training and during holidays etc left him overweight according to the club.

They want to get rid because they’re already paying him a fortune for not many appearances. And he’s asking for an increase on his new contract.

Where? I can’t find anything that says this?

Which is why Barca want to get rid. If he stayed fit, he’d be immense and they’d want to keep him.

Totally depends on the new manager and how they turn it around/get a bounce. Their squad is good enough to survive for sure, but Rafa didn’t get them to perform. If they carry on as they currently are, they’ll get sucked right into the mire at the bottom with us for sure.

There’s no chance we’ll be spunking £70m on release clauses when we think we have a chance of getting players we want for 30-40m.

Because those Spanish clauses are specifically designed to be so over the top in value in order for clubs not to be able to purchase the player? The players we will want will have super exorbitant prices that we simply wouldn’t pay. The players with the exorbitant clauses are the type that will be at CL clubs and may not want to come anyway. Because the club believes in not just throwing money at the problem as this will taint them for any future business. A whole multitude of reasons.

VdB has said he doesn’t want to come, Origi isn’t allowed to leave, Martial will have much better offers and is holding out for Spain, Umtiti might be a goer but he’s incredibly injury prone, Alli and Lingaard…who knows? It’s easy to write a list- much less easy to get those players to the club for a whole lot of reasons.

Nah. No chance. He’s not fit til mid Feb for one thing. And far too good right now for us.

Kounde has been ‘bought’ by a premiership team now for the past three years or more and still never moved. I think teams are genuinely put off by his height and possible negativity regarding that in the PL. 5’10 is obviously not short per se, but it’s certainly on the small side for a CB.

Ha ha. Even Wood? Gayle?

Are people confusing ‘links’ with ‘reported bids’? There have been plenty of CM links, including over the last few days.
