Let's see when the window closes. Considering Lukaku went for £72M, I would call anything lower an insult. Not that we are going to sell anyway.
So reports are that if we don't sign VVD we won't sing a CB... I swear to god if that happens and then we loan out Sakho at the deadline I will be physically sick.
I agree but don't believe that report. Mainly because why in the world would you release that information? All it does is hurt your negotiating position.
So if Neymar does move does that help or hurt with Coutinho to Barca. I know we aren't selling but wasn't playing with Neymar part of the appeal for Coutinho?
Supposedly VVD is away from Southampton training on his own. Would be nice to get that one over the line soon.
He's on strike the manager said as much. Also said Southampton told him (Pellegrino) that they aren't selling him. Quite the stand off
Yeah, hopefully it's just posturing but who the hell knows. Feels like all of this (including Keita) will be over in a couple of weeks, one way or another.
Salah, VVD, Keita, and Robertson would be some great business. Not holding my breath but man, would be nice.
Salah has looked really good. He is making good runs but we aren't seeing him a lot. Hopefully that is just something that comes as the preseason goes. Salah on the right, Mane on the left. Firmino and Coutinho facilitating. Gets the nipples tingling.
Also depending on Milner I don't see how Moreno is sold. Doesn't seem to be a market at the price we want, he could be useful as a RW, and he's really good friends with Coutinho (which may be his best attribute right now).
I missed the first half but turned on just in time to watch Vardy run in behind Lovren like 3 times in a row. Please sign VVD
Nothing we did. His dad was demanding crazy wages. Chelsea tried to resign him but they didn't show much interest if we didn't their demands. He can be a good one though.
I can't imagine we would pay crazy wages and Chelsea wouldn't. If Chelsea wanted him and he wanted to stay wages wouldn't matter to you guys.
I think one or both of Ings and Origi need to go out on loan. More Ings than Origi though since Origi can play wide. Looking at it strictly from a #9 perspective I'm good with Firmino - Sturridge - Solanke as top 3 options.
Ings for sure but Origi needs to stay. Can't be a sturridge injury away from having a teenage as your only option behind Firmino when we are gonna play every 3/4 days
RBL clearly telling the German and English press different things. Also reported they encouraged us to bid the first time so we did, they came back with the 66 mil number as the price so LFC bid that and they rejected it again. Now there is supposedly a third bid that has or hasn't been made and has or hasn't been rejected.
Love that Naby is just gonna murder all his teammates now... fuck everyone associated with that team. Red Bull taste like piss.
Naby murdering teammates, VVD not traveling to France with his teammates...never seen teams so desperate to hold on to players that clearly don't want to be there. Southampton is the weird one...they actually need the money.
So Demme went after Naby and he retaliated. https://www.thisisanfield.com/2017/...pool-target-naby-keitas-training-ground-bust/
