Reports seem all over the place with this one. Some suggesting he's already have a medical/on his way for one and others now saying it's dead as the player is unsure on the move.

I'd love both Lindgard and Ekitike tbh. We need pace upfront still, Lindgard would replace Fraser in the line up straight away but Ekitike would be fantastic as another striker option.

Is this guy suitable for getting on the end of balls over the top/through the defence? Or is he not that kind of striker.

Yannick Carrasco deal seems to have legs still. Has a release clause for around €60m. Us and Spurs still interested.

Letting people know he was wanted by another club would be my guess. Coup.

There's definitely more urgent areas to address than GK, however if this is alongside another 2 + Burn then I'd be fine with it.

Burn seems the only certainty now! How many more come in and who the fuck they are is anyones guess at this point. Zapata would be the top of my list currently other than another decent midfielder. Targett on loan would be decent also aslong as that wasn't our only signing tomorrow

That's impressive work! I like all the hints of Arsenal at the start and then BOOOM!! Good job from them.

Zapata please ?

I do agree and with Wood replaced with Wilson that's out strongest XI but he wont be leaving Shelvey out anytime soon.

Dembele on loan would be a nice one to finish off with. Ideally would like another CM but I think that's unlikely .

Or Dembele? Much quicker than Lingard but perhaps not as smart. Having ASM on one side and Dembele on the other make runs in behind and running at defenders as well would be frightening.

He'd be the type of player we need in terms of leadership and heart but he's a donkey in his defending ability.

Manq and Lewis are perfectly fine as LB options for this season aslong as we get a better left sided CB in.

What an idiot! Just release him now, surely we've got a u23 CB who can do better.

Surely they won't reveal him in Brazil, they'll want him at SJP with all the relevant pictures etc. Brazil play on Tuesday, so he's got time to fly to Newcastle get a days worth of press stuff done and fly back for Paraguay game.

Me neither but with Ronaldo and Messi only a season or 2 away from retiring its anyone's game really. Especially if your name is Haaland.

100% agree. I think it is a huge risk and I'd much rather pay 12m now and he be our player to do with as we wish

But we could pay a transfer fee now. That's basically the option that Man U have given us. Pay now and get him on a permanent deal or get him on loan and pay at the end of season if you stay up. That's how it seems to me

If he look at that 12m as more or less a transfer fee than it doesn't seem so bad, they can call it what they want but Man Utd want money for him whether it's "survival bonus" at the end of season or a transfer fee right now.

We need a CB in without a doubt. It won't be easy and we'll be paying over the odds for him but clearly DG is someone the club really want. I just hope they aren't so determined that we miss out on getting a CB in entirely.

Joelinton was £39.6 million was he not?

Diego Carlos has the same agent as Bruno so perhaps he's pushing it more now the Bruno deal is done. He knows he'll be due a massive payday if he can get both of those deals through.

Bakker, Zapata and Burn would do for me. That along with what we've got in already would be incredible. You'd hope that would see us staying up with a game (or 2) to spare.

Midfield 3 of Bruno, Joelinton and Shelvey seems most likely. Although with injuries and what not Longstaff and Willock will also get alot of games in the middle. Could easily see Willock being used further forward in the front 3 and obviously Joelinton can be used there as well.
