TeamTalk is saying we're lining up three free transfers in Lorenzo Insigne, Antonio "WOOOOOOOLF!!!!!" Rudiger and...crap, forgot the third one, be right back...Ousmane Dembele. So, completely meaningless for January, and also an off chance of complete bollocks not because it's TeamTalk but because of reports that Dembele is willing to take a pay cut to sign a new Barca deal In other news, Doherty's being linked with a £15m move to Roma, while Celtic manager Angie Posterchocolate is reportedly looking to make CCV's loan permanent
I mean I've seen rumours start from less... please log in to view this image And, yes, that is Tripper's account
As was well-documented, I was never a fan of his but if we sign Trippier to replace his replacement's replacement, I might just piss myself laughing.
CalcioMercato report that Juve are now asking for €35m each for Weston McKennie and Dejan Kulusevski In McKennie's case, that's almost double the price quotes in late October/early November
Vlahovic Watch Skyte Italia are, essentially, repeating known information by stating Fiorentina want a fee of €70m in January if they're going to let him leave Not for the first time, I think that if we have concrete interest we should consider a buy & loan back deal, because honestly I think January is our last chance to sign Vlahovic because after that he's going to be an immediate fallback option for any monied teams who don't get Haaland or Mbappe in the summer
Romano's latest podcast says that we're looking to sign a CB, and there's a chance that Doherty will leave in January
Looks like we may have to tick Insigne off in the summer, apparently close to agreeing a big contract with Toronto in the MLS. Think he’s making that move a couple years too early. They’re also being linked with a similar move for Belotti, who’s also been on our radar before.
Apparently Madrid are transfer listing a bunch of players, primarily big earners (to likely free up funds for Mbappe/ Haaland I’d imagine). Hazard, Isco, Marcelo, Jovic, Marcelo, Mariano and a certain Mr Bale all set to be available this coming window. Jovic and Bale anyone?
Yes, please! With Marcelo AND his brother? When he broke on the scene, Isco looked a great talent, but his career has stagnated. The talk is his departure could be a loan. so not what we need, but just have a feeling he still has the talent at 29 for 2 or 3 good seasons. Everton are linked with him, but reckon he will end up at a higher level.
Barca have made Sergino Dest available, although he's apparently reluctant to leave Rough around the edges, but bags of pace so certainly worth a loan if Doherty is moved on
Marcelo's supposed to be buggering off back to Brazil soon. One of the next two transfer windows. I wonder if that has any ramifications for us and Reguilon?
Interesting... Oh, and somebody might want to tell Diego the rumour is in the MEN, not on Twitter. I know he gets confused...
Some rumours suggesting that Lloris may wish to return to Nice in the summer. Not sure Henderson would be the answer, if that's the case. Dread to think of the fee. May be better off going for Johnstone for free or Pope, who is coming into the last year of his contract. Definitely need to bring in at least one keeper, even if our captain gets a new deal.
