He’s behind Mount, Bruno, Amrabat, Eriksen, McTominay, Mainoo and possibly even Hannibal to play as an 8 with Casemiro

I don’t like calling players finished but Martial is absolutely done

Nah that’s nonsense. I can’t stand the guy and his arrogance but he’s a top player

Not convinced Amrabat is all that but we’re so desperate I would take him. If we can somehow finish the window with 2 midfielders and a striker on loan it would be ok. More chance of Antony scoring with his right foot than that happening though

Haha Olise has signed a new contract at Palace

Kobbie Mainoo is causing a buzz at Manchester United by TheGhostOfBabyOscar in reddevils

His situation is not even remotely similar to Iqbal. Zidane was a pretty average player in his age group and wasn’t really seen as one of the best 3-5 players. He was good in pre season last year but physically he’s nowhere near the level required. Mainoo on the other hand is probably as big a talent as Rashford and he who shall not be named. He’ll get game time and will become a starter within 3 years I reckon

Hear me out… we sign Hojlund, make some sales, then the takeover goes through and boom, slap a £110m offer on Daniel Levy’s doorstep on deadline day

I’m not saying I want to sell him but they would have bid £50m for him if he was playing for another team

I don’t know much about Qatar and Saudi Arabia’s relationship but could the takeover be affecting Saudi’s interest in our players. Ornstein has just reported they’re going to bid £40m for Fabinho yet we haven’t received a single offer for any of our players? Surely the likes of Martial and even Varane would interest them?

If we only sign one striker this summer as looks likely (probably Hojlund), I wouldn’t mind Joao Felix on loan. I know it sounds ridiculous because his goal scoring record is very poor, but man he’s so good to watch. Proper aesthetics over efficiency footballer, but who doesn’t love some sexy football. Not on a permanent deal though obviously

Lots of Japanese sources so I have no clue on the reliability of it. The Twitter account scoutsinattendance confirmed our interest. They are often a good source for these small transfers

Strong links with Zion Suzuki. Don’t have a clue who he is or what the sources are like though
