AS Roma have accepted a 30 million euro offer from Zenit for Kostas Manolas, if im not mistaken he was one of the players Conte was looking at to bolster our defence.

Apparently we've signed Daishawn Redan from Ajax, 16 year old striker.

 

Not super silky but efficient enough and made some good decisions in that video. Nothing in that vid looks like a red flag to me and, since this is definitely true, I'm pleased for the lad and hope he can force his way into next season's FA Youth Cup side.

Vitesse will be delighted.

I imagine he will take a similar route to Castillo and stay with our youth for a few years, then once counting as home grown it will be off to Vitesse

By no means a criticism but have to admit I'm sceptical about the youngsters we bring in from Ajax - if they were that good Ajax would push the boat out to keep them?

Could be true haven't seen much of Castillo and other than that youtube clip posted in which he looked like a decent striker especially for someone who's 16 I haven't seen much of Redan either.

Man U were also interested and I think I remember other teams being interested in Castillo too, so it isn't just us looking to poach but you think if they really were that good they would be sniffing around Ajax's first team and wanting to play there for a few years before moving but who knows. 

Sky apparently reporting that we're close to a double swoop for bonucci and sandros....

Happy about Sandro, not so much Bonucci. For the price we may as well invest in a CB 5 years younger i.e Koulibaly/VVD.

Ajax work off the model that they're a selling club. They have given up hope on retaining their best young players and the fact that Zlatan made more last season than their entire first team including staff reflects that

Maybe that explains the 60m offer? 60m for the pair would be exceptional piece of business.

Sounds too good to be true. Thought that Juve figured Bonucci at 40-50 mil on his own?

Would be incredibly but i highly doubt this is true. Juventus are one of the top teams in world football and finished runner's up in the Champions League, i can't see them dismantling their defence like that.

I think it would take closer to 100m for the pair, easily

That guy doesn't know anything unfortunatly.

I'm guessing it will be Lukaku, Bakayoko, Sandro and Cabellero. 

Apart from Sandro it's not that exciting tbh. I'd prefer Sanchez or James being unveiled!

Lukaku and Bakayoko are not the level required, Sandro will be great, and the jury is still out for van Dijk. No, I'm not that excited. For the similar amount of money we could have got Morata and Tolisso instead of Lukaku and Bakayoko.
