Piece from Adam Leventhal (The Athletics Watford guy) suggesting the bid actually went in late last week. Shows how locked down things are now that nothing came out about it till Monday evening.

Seems like he maybe the one. There were people on here who always said that the one we end up with (or at least make a big play for) would be someone out of left field that hasn't been mentioned.

Why not? That's how most transfers are structured.

I said this to a mate last night, Chilwell could be one to watch next Summer. Even when he is back fully fit I imagine Tuchel is going to go with Cucurella over him. Start of the Summer had us looking at more progressive LBs, before sticking with Targett. Wouldn't be shocked if Chilwell is available next Summer, and if he is (assuming we have had another good year and are then looking towards European qualification in 23/24) we should be going in for him.

That is ridicu.... Nevermind.

Hopefully along with that they also stipulate a fee should we wish to buy next Summer, similar to the Targett deal. Excited by CHO, think he could finally have that breakout year under Howe.

I wouldn't hold your breath on him actually being available, given Man U's current recruitment strategy seems to involve floating ideas on Twitter and deciding what to do based on how people react to them.

Surely we're gonna need to free up some cap space??

He can blow a little hot and cold for Chelsea. One of those players who tends to get into purple patches of form, before then dropping off for a few games. That being said, Pulisic off form offers way more than Almiron on form. I like Almiron, but Pulisic is just several levels better.

You mean the Portuguese Sean Casey??

We're not signing Paqueta this window. People need to let that go.

Yes. That's pretty much the reason it exists, so it's harder to do what Chelsea and City did. The big clubs don't want any more clubs joining the party, they already have to split 4 CL spots among 6 of them as it is.

Agree with this. Whilst Wilson will remain first choice, I imagine this means we can actually rotate him more. Especially during those weeks where we play twice in a week, we can't be letting Wilson play, or at least start, a game more than once a week.

I know what you mean, it enraged me too. Think it's tricky to change the rules though. The punishment is the auto red card for the keeper, doubled by them having used all their subs. The shit part of it was the fact there was barely any time left. It's one of those where, if that chance happens earlier in the game, the smart move for the keeper is to just let Wilson past to score. Like what Clark should have done V Norwich.

Pope being injured for tomorrow would be the ultimate proof we are living in a simulation.

Aston Villa 1-1 Everton Arsenal 2-0 Leicester Brighton 1-1 Newcastle Man City 4-0 Bournemouth* Southampton 2-1 Leeds Wolves 2-2 Fulham Brentford 2-2 Man United Notts Forest 1-2 West Ham Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham Liverpool 3-0 Crystal Palace

Don't think we will see any movement on this till after Benfica play their CL playoff on Wednesday. Hope things will move along quickly once that is out the way.

Suggests PSG interest may not be quite the same obstacle it was with Ekitike.

Also works on the understanding that the club won't stand in there way if/when they get a big side come in for them. Similar to the way we used to be with European (mostly French) players back under Pardew/Carr.

Anyone got any predictions on the timeline on this one. I am guessing news of a first actual bid comes out tomorrow.

We'll bid what we want, and don't call me Shirley

Your conclusion there is top notch ? But yes, safe to say Pulisic is a gargantuan upgrade on either Almiron or Fraser. Sadly don't think it's a realistic target though. If Chelsea do make him available he won't be short of takers across Europe, let alone in the PL.

This may be the case, in fact I'd say it's very likely, but it still involves spending now based on speculated income in the future. From everything we have been told about the current owners/PIF that's not something I can imagine them wanting to do.

Didn't Kovacic start life at Chelsea as a loan? Also, if you want to go back a little further, Tevez at Man U.

That would be amazing, where did they say that? Only thing I have seen in regards to Pulisic to NUFC is him being included in the TIFO sensible transfers video, which was a suggestion on their part based on data, rather than any source based link.
