Remember when CM was our weakest position. Absolute piss poor options in there for years and years. Now this man it’s class

Quintessential stopping a top class player going to a rival?

Squad shaping up nicely, as CD says though we need that final piece of creativity then we’re good to go. A bit more depth at CB would be nice as well

Take a picture of the badge on a polo top at Heathrow airport ???? What are these on

Our shithousery to a new level

After every transfer story you might as well write at the end “Chelsea are also interested”

who else has seen this filth?

Some deal if we could pull this off

Knows nothing absolutely convinced of it

The stories where we’ve made a bid never work out. Only interesting when it breaks the transfer is close, like Isak

Really poor defender

Aye it’s just going to break that we’re close to a player, hopefully the elite midfielder we need. My guess is Dom from RB

Could lower it, at least put a 4 on front of the number rather than a 5 or 6

What a waste of everyone’s time

Wonder if we will get a Saturday 3pm at home this season

Nice Boxing Day game

We’re class at home and then city away nice and early is the best time to play them

Good start should be 3 points

Probably genuine interest. Feels like a transfer like this would be done towards the end of the window, or close to the start of the season

You’d think we wouldn’t be anywhere near the deal if there was no chance he’d actually want to join.

Jorginho ?

Sky saying we’re confident

I’m expecting “Newcastle hold an interest in Barella, however he is amongst a number of players including Scott McTominay and Connor Gallagher” style tweet imminently

Whatever happens it’s class that these are the kind of players we’re in for
