Torres peaked at Liverpool, and was why he joined for a club record fee and then left them for a British record fee and the highest fee for a Spanish player. according to Wiki: “He was also the first player since Robbie Fowler in the 1995–96 season to score more than 20 league goals in a season. The most prolific goalscoring spell of his career, he became the fastest player in Liverpool history to score 50 league goals”. There’s no way he had peaked and was on the decline, either physically or mentally.

Elye Wahi linked via FootMercato https://www.footmercato.net/a5368339655088087026-strasbourg-tente-sa-chance-dans-le-dossier-elye-wahi “Arsenal and Newcastle remain in the race Yes, but here it is, if the Blues are manoeuvring in this matter, we are able to inform you that this is an operation intended to strengthen the Racing Club of Strasbourg, recently acquired by Todd Boehly, currently at the head of the London team. A file that promises to be complex for the moment. Author of 19 goals and 6 assists in 33 Ligue 1 matches last season, Wahi would begin, for his part and always according to our indiscretions, to get impatient. One thing is certain, number 21 of the MHSC is getting closer, in any case, to a start during this summer transfer window. As we revealed to you a few weeks ago, Frankfurt is and remains on the spot in the Bundesliga. But the German club will only advance its pawns when the Randal Kolo Muani file is about to be closed, which is still very far from being the case. Finally, we are able to inform you that the Eagles are not the only ones interested on the other side of the Rhine either since a training of a better standing is also in the ranks. On the English side, Arsenal (which is to sell Folarin Balogun) but also Newcastle (always on the lookout for a good blow) are also on the lookout. Trained at the club, the seventh best scorer in Ligue 1 in the 2022-2023 fiscal year is, in any case, about to offer himself a new challenge in his young career. In Alsace or in another training? Response in the coming days” ??

Barely any can afford to spend £22m on a single player?

Linked with Sael Kumbedi according to the Daily Mail: “Meanwhile, Newcastle have earmarked Lyon's talented young right-back Sael Kumbedi as a back-up option to current transfer targets. Eddie Howe's side have been trying to find a middle ground with Southampton for Tino Livramento and retain an interest in Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney. The 18-year-old Kumbedi started out at Paris St Germain and can also fill in at left-back.” https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12282691/TRANSFER-CONFIDENTIAL-Man-United-face-Onana-hold-Chelsea-negotiate-Caicedo-move.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490

Doesn’t make sense for Juve though, if they need the money now? Can’t see them loaning, even if there’s a guarantee of a fee the following year.

I was thinking 35m sounded good when Sancho went for 73.

Good thing Barcas ongoing financial woes aren’t holding them back at all.

Fuck off

Not to mention potentially getting a win/3 points that puts us further up the table or towards a cup final.

Contract drawn up by Adam P for exclusive interview rights?

I think that having “cover” isn’t the same as “badly need to sort the defence out”. But I understand your point.

Agreed that we need some quality cover for injuries and suspensions, but “badly need to sort the defence out” was maybe worded incorrectly?

Badly need to sort the defence out? We’ve just come off a season where we conceded the fewest goals in the whole league (joint with the league winners, and a margin of 10 less goals than the next best team).

The Chronicle can exclusively reveal that despite both playing in the same position, AND sharing the surname, Harvey is NOT actually related to United’s 1997/8 top scorer…

Morning Luke.

For £8m? No chance they’d spend that.

Throw enough shit at the wall, and eventually some of it will stick. Hey, Luke?

Best call an ambulance for Milanista edit- I’d also take Kululu!

Chronicle reported this morning it was just an enquiry as to whether we’d sell, not even a bid, and they got told under no circumstances. It’s a nothing story.

Enquired about him before going for Gvardiol and were told ‘no’. Nothing more than that, I think.
