Aye, same. Not sure there'd be any value in sending him on loan as at his age he shouldn't be playing that many games anyway. Get him working with Eddie and the first team and let him play for the youth teams when he needs minutes, then bring him cautiously into the first team when he's ready.

Casually dropping another 20m on a youth goalkeeper

Think he only joined last year so shouldn't cause us too many problems in terms of continuity. Wouldn't mind getting one of those lads who left Chelsea in to replace him

Aye, saying there's no updates kind of acknowledges that it's a situation we're involved with which there could potentially be updates on. Otherwise feel he'd have said outright that we're not interested or something like "good player but I don't talk about other clubs' players".

On his way to Sheffield United? https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united-tee-up-free-transfer-deals-for-ex-newcastle-united-and-southampton-stalwarts-4720029

Circumstances can change, but he has signed a new contract this year and Fiorentina have absolutely no reason to do us a favour. I'm sure we can get him if we want, but I'd be very surprised if it was that cheap.

People saying exactly the same about him as they did about Gordon - actually makes me feel better about him as a target. Trust our scouting and also have to keep in mind that by all accounts he was playing in a system that doesn't suit him last season according to Milan fans.

Last news I could find on it was from Romano saying that they rejected Brentford's 40m+ bid as it was too low and too late in the window.

The article it quotes mentions a price of 30-35m. Surely that's bullshit given that they rejected bigger offers from Brentford last summer and he has since signed a new contract.

Might spark movement on Thiaw?

https://www.s24su.com/forum/threads/will-osula.99829/page-5 Sheffield fans do seem to rate him very highly.

I think it's best to keep a level head about it given that we sold him for a relatively large amount without him ever having played for us. If he does start tearing it up weekly in the PL, sure I'll be disappointed but the fact that his sale came out of the context of us being in a PSR mess means I'll struggle to be too sad about it. Think this might end up happening with a few players for us over the next few years.
