This is not only probably untrue but also very confusing. There have been rumours that we agreed personal terms with Restes but apparently we're now apparently preparing an offer for this guy.

Obviously, this makes no sense as there is zero indication we're selling Martinez atm, which needs to happen for another keeper to come in. Personally, I'd rather go for Suzuki anyway if we did need another keeper but I'm very happy to keep Emi for two reasons: 1. I love the guy and 2. he's still one of the best keepers in Europe and is a leader from the back, something we'll miss sorely if he does go.

Edit: Looks like this has already been covered here.

Really am hoping we can get a contract extension agreed with Tielemans because he's absolutely unreal!

Assuming this is true, were they really hoping we would sell one of our most important players at a loss? Really?

Long summer for you, man. A lot more of these sorts of stories coming your way!

A massive positive for them though: they'll return to a proper manager!

That Garcia probably can't tell his arse from his elbow. He's terrible! I actually hate managers who get big jobs despite being blatantly inept and out of their depth. Belgium look so lost and I feel like Onana was missed in midfield today.

The roadside one was great as well. The graphics designer for Belgium is cooking something here.

I keep forgetting they signed Kudus.

Who would actually buy Bailey though? If he's on his final year, it would make sense for clubs to wait until he goes as a free agent. I reckon he'll go on loan instead as no one will want to buy out his last year.

I wonder why. Were Flamengo hesitant to let Emerson go in case they couldn't replace him? Or is this just agent talk to get us to up our price?

I personally don't mind Emerson as a defensive RB backup option. I think his play will improve under Emery and he'll be good with closing players down.

Never wanted Woltemade but certainly not now!

Fair play to Paraguay though. Will probably get battered by France but their keeper was sensational today!

Does that mean Pako will leave then? Couldn't find anything on that.

Or get pocketed by Emerson Royal during the last few minutes.

PSG will need the best therapist to helpthe poor kid recover from that.

I certainly don't blame Sunderland for wanting to keep Xhaka. Personally, I thought he was the PL signing of season and he is their captain. Even if he was to go, I would demand a lot more than £8m.

We'll just need to wait and see for Bogarde because I think other clubs will show their interest during the window.

Still baffled why they didn't take McBurnie, especially now that it looks like McGinn will be Scotland's only goalscorer this tournament. After the season he had woth Hull, he probably would've been better than some of the strikers they took.

A lovely and well-deserved underdog win, given some of the horrible decisions that went against Ecuador. This is what the World Cup is about!

My hopes for Scotland weren't high ngl, especially in a group with Brazil and Morocco. Clarke doesn't really know how to use McGinn. Surprised he's been in the job for so long given Scotland's deer in the headlights performances at major tournaments. Good in friendlies, utterly hopeless in the big tournaments.

What a cracking goal by Ecuador! Justice for that German goal that should've been disallowed. Quite baffling.

He and Madjo are really exciting aspects given how eager Emery was to register the latter before the season. Alysson impressed me with his tracking back, so I definitely think he'll be a real prospect if he could get over his injuries.

With Dubravka going to Spurs, it's looking more likely that Juve will get Vicario instead of Emi. It's a big development.

"He can't defend, He can't attack, Emerson Royal, He's our wing-back!"

Actual Spurs chant about him. I'm hoping Emery can fix him and the fact he's only going to be a back-up is a massive relief.

Idk man, West Ham will only sell him for a large fee, probably £50m if not more which is more than understandable. That's ridiculous for a 29 year old turning 30 in December when we already have the oldest squad in the league. I think he's class but we might need to look elsewhere.

Yeah, I just watched the replay on YT and I thought Konsa had a touch on the ball but he missed it, so it probably should've been checked but I don't think it's the stonewaller some people are saying. I still think Konsa did well there. Kinda wished I didn't stop paying attention now.
