Its just all nonsense and it does get very wearing.


Latest is the Rags supposed to have bid 70 big ones for Maguire for it to be refused :o


I hope we're just in it to push the price up for them


Hopefully, and it seems to be working. Even in the current market 70+ mill for Maguire is mad.
I never really believed we were in for him.

We didn't pay £75 million for VVD because it was too much, can't see us realistically being in for Maguire at that price.

Because we may need another CB and he fits the profile.

Not so sure how much I like, or some of our players may, about him coming after the way he responded to the racist chants at Moise Kean.

I'd rather Alderweireld anyway. Or even Ake.

Interestingly, with Angelino we can use him as a HG player, but he's the 3rd LB (assuming we sell Delph) and I don't think we like to use up so many squad spaces on fringe players.

We will need another CB, as I don't think we think Garcia is ready to be it.

Curious what we will do

I think Garcia may well be our fourth CB next season. If Otamendi leaves we need another one. Spurs have done well to nail Ndombele. We’d better get Rodri now or questions will be asked.

Let's wait a bit with this fella. He played incredible with us, I give him that, let's wait and see if he is as good as that.

does he count as association trained and therefore part of the ‘homegrown’ quota?
£40m vs £50m+ for wank bissaka is a steal!

Yep, joined Chelsea at 16 and has played in England since. I like him, and at that price it makes far more sense than the figures being bandied about for Maguire.

Yes.

Would be a good signing IMHO.

He's decent in the air, but not great. He's also a bit on the smallish side, height and physically, which is what we will miss with Vinny gone and where we have been vulnerable.

Wonder what will happen with Zack Steffen. Also, Joao Felix at Atletico for 113 mil. Madness.

Steffen off to Dusseldorf on loan.

Felix signed a SEVEN year deal. Im putting the odds at 50-50 he flops at Madrid under Simeone

He'll be the most expensive flop ever.

They wouldn't have had to pay 113m if we hadn't signed Roque Santa Cruz
