Random Rumours

He's made a name for himself based on a viral slow motion video of him nutmegging a few people i'll try and find it
Just seen he's another right winger 😵‍💫

 
I am seeing rumours of Diogo Costa (GK) linked to City. I am surprised we are looking at the likes of Kobel when this guy could be on the market. If we are intent on not keeping Petrovic (which may be the situation) then why don't we test the waters for Costa.
While I agree and think he is far more suited to Maresca's tactics there's just no reason for him to join us over other clubs linked to him.

 
Romano reporting Gittens high on our list.
What is interesting about this one is how complicated the deal would be. As we all know our owners like to 'wheel and deal' in the transfer market in ways that English people simply just wouldn't understand. . . so, we are going to buy Sancho [as we are required to do so] and then loan or sell him to Dortmund as part of the deal to get Gittens.

 
Could be me but isn’t Gittens just a less well polished Madueke, who himself isn’t the finished article.
He does seem like he is, however he's right footed. Behind the striker the options we will have are palmer, quenda, estevao, Neto, Madueke, Sancho and mudryk. Apart from the last 2 who we don’t know the future of all these players are left footed so the only thing I would say he has over Madueke is better squad balance.

Less polished? Not going to pretend to be a Dortmund expert but from games I've seen in CL he's far better technically with his passing, shooting, dribbling, etc. He just does stupid things is all. If that can be coached out of him he would be a better version of Madueke.

Given who's been mentioned I would prefer we just go into next season with our current wingers + Estevao.
Agree our targets are very mid. Gittens is overrated, and way behind our current options development wise. You just hope they don’t sign Granacho especially with Utd demanding £65m.

The only impressive LW we could potentially buy but I seen zero links is Alex Baena at Villarreal. He has created the most chances in La Liga, and is currently leading the most key passes in Europe this season. He also has a €60m release clause, and Atletico Madrid are an interested party.

Sesko release clause has risen to £70m...
You would need to be desperate to sign him for that fee. Shades of Hojlund pre-United and that hasn’t worked out.

Sesko has never hit 20 league goals, and just might hit 15 league goals this season. You take out the Bundesliga tax, & he is a 10 league goal a season player.

He may not even be a 10 league goal player, just look at Werner.

 
My favourite silly rumour of the day - big news is that Aston Villa do not want to lose £90m-rated midfielder Morgan Rogers [22] who is attracting the interest of Chelsea . . .who is rating him at 90 million quid???!!?  Although it does sound like our kind of price. We should get involved in a bidding war here.

in other news - the big centre forward we are about to sign has been under our noses all this time. Emanuel Emegha.

Is it bad that I hope we miss out on all our striker targets in blind hope we sign someone over 25 but we'll probably just find another Marc Guiu on a deal.
