But now DC has been offered triple his wage and has had his agents negotiating with Sevilla so he can leave?

Not convinced like, we chased Botman and when news came out that the deal wasn’t gonna happen all the news on Carlos started picking up.

Something doesn’t add up here, why keep moving the goalposts for an extra few million if the player is already unsettled and has asked to leave? What’s the point on risking the buyer walking away over an insignificant amount and being left with a pissed off player for at least half a season?

Indeed but hes also perhaps the more risky signing of the two.

How did this become about racism within one reply?

Who was the last player we bought from them? Obertan?

Didnt he link his twitter a week or two ago? If anyone followed him or remembers it they could dm him on there like

Rashford for his dress sense alone

Twats

Let’s hope not eh?

Sounds promising now, for first time I’ve actually started to think we are gonna get him

If essembee shows up can we just ban him on sight?

Maybe we could set up our own toontastic transfer sub thread where we can alll have pissy sheets without bothering you NO natives

I think it was our collective bedwetting on the transfer thread, Ant just said fuck it these lot arnt worth the trouble anymore

Yeah I’m not sure Wood is worth 25 though, triggering the clause was just the easiest way of getting him. I know where you are coming from though, £50m for an elite CB who can do it for 5/6 years isn’t a lot of money.

£10m for a loan is nuts when he’s probably attainable for that on a transfer being so close to the end of his contract. I understand that the player might not want to come here permanently atm though and Howe isn’t keen on relegation clauses.

Salisu and/or Carlos, a LB, Bissouma, Lingard and maybe another striker would be some end to the window. Squad would be almost completely transformed.

I will admit that I’ve only seen highlight videos of him like That’s interesting though, obviously over a full 90 mins he’s gonna look a bit more reserved than a 3 minute YouTube video. What did you think of him generally?

I get the feeling there is not a set budget, it seems more like they will just sanction any deal where the money is right.

Really want this one, proper nasty shithouse of a CB which is something our team lacks all round. Not sure if he’s worth £50m+ though.

Such a risky appointment, has only ever managed in shit leagues that are dominated by 2/3 teams and the one time he did manage in a competitive league he got relegated

Uhh thats a bit weird isnt it?

Zapata would be unreal like, whats the most concrete link on him so far?

Hes sort of playing this DM/QB role for Howe but with probably more emphasis on the DM, I thought he was great yesterday defending around our box. If he was physically more gifted/fit he'd be a level above in that role than where hes at right now.
