Barca again trying to sign a player they techincally can't afford or register. In the same way as with Torres, they would have to shift another player to get Traore in. Can't see any takers for Dembele, what with his injury record, wages and the fact everyone can wait a few months to get him for nowt. Also didn't notice that they'd resigned Dani Alves. Going to be a great help that, a 38yr old.
Leeds and Monaco have approached us for minime according to sky and we said no. Atlanta are said to be considering replacing zapata with origi if Newcastle buy their man. In short lfc have no interest in being down to 4 forwards at this point as we had no intent to buy this window. So obviously the minamino offer must look like the Phillips bid from watford.....As tiny as Donald trump's dick.
Wouldn't believe it. Barca desperate to clear the decks of the current squad fillers they've got so they can squeeze in Traroe and whoever else they think will get them CL next season, so they can go mad in the summer racking up more debt.
Cheeky but poor timing from Leeds that. Given our lack of depth and leaving us no time to get a replacement, would have to be some offer for us to let him go. Wonder if could be a point to be made in summer with a deal with Raphinha though if they’re still interested in minamino
Yeah, anything to defray the massive fee raphinha would cost and not really improve us (unless salah leaves) I presume we want 20mil or something stupid for the chpionship level minime. We want 15 mil for Phillips, got offered 7 by watford. Origi is virtually free to anyone who puts anything down for him. It's not great is it? I can't see us getting raphina for 40mil.plus minime.
If it's Leeds I'll fetch out the jallope and take him there myself if Monaco can manage an airport run.
Lots and lots of reports of it.m this morning. Wouldn’t be first time that we’ve suddenly signed someone within a day or two of reports being made
Gorst has it on "Anfield sources". In short phillips + minamino + origi = ~40 mil. this funds it. Diaz may be cheaper now than in the summer and spurs are "rumoured" to be sniffing about a player who would play in the same place as son. This would give the 5th option and he would play in mane's slot with jota central in theory. So lets see how it plays out. Spurs have clearly shifted us into moving early
I wonder if a few things. Spurs interest may have pushed our interest forward. The interest in minamino and origi maybe also pushed things forward. If we can get this deal done then maybe we’ll be willing to move on mini and origi.
