We are still looking for the right target. Nothing has really changed in that regard.
There is no better manager in world football to take us forward.
The end.
We need to see that fsg are what they are. They've missed opportunity after opportunity to do more so why think they'll do more with someone else.
Look at all the things commercially they've not even tried on.
Massive derelict site left due to covid. No attempt to buy and do the hotel. Massive money there left on table.
Train station. They need something and it'll cost 30mil. If they can afford long term.loans to club to get paid back they can afford a revenue project where they take a share of revenue off trains for 30 years.
Kop end. They'll never publish new plans as they'd need to buy a church and pub.
Fsg are John Henry. This is reality. The second that guy dies it will be sold off priee by piece and liquidated. This is why they are not long term thinkers.

Apparently we've reached an agreement to sign Bellingham in January and we're also looking at Neves.
Probably both rubbish.

You can imagine many things.You "imagine" that Dortmund would want Keita?
It is what is rumoured though. Dortmund tend to be good with young transfers but can be bizarre with older players.
We win twice.
You "imagine" that Dortmund would want Keita?
According to the media, as hard as it may be to believe, they really want Keita. I'm ok with that.
The Bellingham in January link ha been around for some time. Apparently his buy out clause drops dramatically in January, heard £37m mentioned.
Who knows with some of this stuff.
It sounds bizarre but if there was a paltry 37mil buy out in January then the queue would be round the block with sides willing to pay that plus double the wages we would offer.
Imo the best way to go is to offer dortmund a good premium on that fee today as real, barca, city and chelsea are largely out of it thus summer.
Dortmund are spikey ****s though, they would turn down 50mil to not be screwed over and have to take 37 thereafter.
However.... logical thinking suggests if dortmubd paid 30 for a 16 year old they would not agree to a sliding release and this could be made up based on haaland deal who had a very specific agent involved

Also if you Google Bellingham release clause numerous places all stating he has no release clause
In fairness Keita was quality in the
bundesliga so it's not a crazy idea for Dortmund. Kind of like Werner. Neither have shown their Leipzig form in England.

Don’t really understand why they’d would agree a deal now for January. Why would Dortmund want him to leave mid season?
Better than leaving now because it gives them more time to find a replacement.
True, but Werner was more a matter of form and System. Keita has been perenially injured. I guess they might hope that the BuLi is less intense than the PL, but surely you'd be wary.
Maybe they get a bit more money? Or we loan him back for the reminder of the season?
