Cost cutting rumors around the squad is about.

Beginning with Toni, Dave and AC leaving.

To add to that rumor who could we realistically sell?

Think it has been long enough we can accept a large loss on Kepa and let him move on for 30mill.

Otherwise we are on to players we dont want to let go, cause getting buyers for Lukaku or Werner would be very difficult I expect.

I imagine there are going to be a lot of rumors since the ownership of the club is currently unknown. People are just gonna throw sh*t at a wall and see what sticks and roll with it.

I'm sure transfer business will depend a lot on sales to fund purchases.

Ryan Gravenberch's name is linked with Bayern Munich.

Very talented CM, versatile player and quality player. Wonder if we could hijack him and get ourselves to the deal. 

 

Supposedly we've been interested in the past, if he's available I don't see why we shouldn't make a contract offer

May depend on the new owners, might go in a different direction.

Hell no.. he is a sick note.

 

 

 

Looks like we won't be getting him, I wasn't too fussed but if TT and board wanted him I was down with it. Most likely this means Dembele is gone and will either replace Mbappe at PSG or he's coming here.

100% no.

29 next season, been a bit average at Juve for a while now, played pretty much his whole career in Italy. He would almost be guaranteed to be the next flop on high wages.

I was wondering end of last season whether Jota would work for us, now it is academical because he is doing well at Liverpool.

I'd actually like to see Coutinho here, but got no clue any more what is going to happen

I was unsure about Coutinho it reminded me of Sarri wanting Higuain...........

Mistake.

I think you're right, I thought that he could be a good option at some point but he would probably just disappear in the PL. 

Ornstein claiming Arsenal are in contact with Gabriel Jesus' agents. Player is reportedly open to move. 

 

We should genuinely hijack this deal.

I agree but I don’t see how we can talk to clubs about signing players now.

Hopefully we pull another Willian. 

I hope these Rudiger leaving reports aren’t true. Otherwise we’re going to have to rebuild our entire back line by the look of things.

Barcelona in huge financial trouble = Messi's wages. Since he left they seem to have no problems accommodating anyone. 

Sky Germany reporting Joško Gvardiol may be a potential Rudiger replacement.

Is he any good?

The reporter for Sky Germany? Said to be right 15% off the time, pretty good for a BS artist.

Left centre back Gvardiol and Colwill

Middle centre back T.Silva and Ampadu

Right centre back Kounde and Chalobah

Actually really like the balance of that, although it lacks a bit of experience. I also think Boubacar Kamara would be a fantastic heir to Thiago Silva, and he is available on a free transfer. 

Still would need a midfielder, and another dynamic left wing back.

+ new fullbacks and we're ready

Ampadu no way. Not good enough for this level.

How about Michael Mancienne?

I've only seen Kounde play maybe 3 or 4 times and each time he was horrid.

Anyone watch him consistently?
