And Lo Celso, plus probably one of Bissouma or Skipp. I can't see us going into the new season with Skipp, Bentancur, Bissouma, Gray, Sarr and Bergvall all fighting over 2 spots.
Think their new striker got a serious injury last week so the chances are they'll keep Toni...which makes me happy cos I think he's treated Brentford like scrap, believes his own hype and practically begged Liverpool and Arsenal to buy him while being suspended for gambling
Romano has said there’s a 15m release clause for next summer. Sounds like that’s for anyone to activate not just an option for Girona, based on the wording, so let’s hope he does enough.
I forget he exists to be fair, easily done. Skipp's likely the one to make way of those but like Richarlison, Solomon and possibily Kulusevski too, none are who I think the club are desperate to sell but would if a decent offer arrived.
Plettentwerp is insisting we're meeting Chiesa's agent While regurgitating the Football Italia copy of the Corriere article from earlier Smells like his agent is namedropping us to try and drum up interest
No-one who played in the Euros or Copa America would be available for training until next week at the earliest. So if we are trying to sign any of those we have not lost anything by not doing it so far.
If we signed a player of course they would, Dragusin flew into Korea on his own. No reason why a new signing wouldn’t have done the exact same. Arsenal just signed Calafiori and he’s in the USA with them.
True but he’s still better than Skipp. Skipp is home grown, that’s probably the only plus for him over Bissouma
Atleti supposedly closing in on Conor Gallagher. Bless you, Atleti, you beautiful bastards. Romano also says no talks between us and Chiesa and that we’ll sign “one more player upfront”. So if that’s true, any dreams of a RW and a ST I had might be dashed. Has to be a ST then and hope one of Johnson/ Kulu find consistent form, my money would be on Johnson, think he can be a real problem if he grows more confidence.
So between Romano, Ali G and Seb S-B, it's pretty obvious that only a complete dope would say we're in negotiations for Chiesa Step forward Plettentwerp...
