Alban Lafont from Nantes as a GK. 

Top goalkeeper, 24 yrs old. One of the best GK in Ligue 1. Won't cost much as his contract expires in 2024. 

We should sign him ASAP. 

I watched about half of this highlights video ...  

 

Strong wrists and good reflexes, but does seem to push a lot of shots back into a dangerous area ... as well as punch a few too many overall that he might perhaps catch.

Is he that much better than what we have ? Not sure ...

I don't watch Nantes much if at all. 

Asked around a little, nothing but positive reports on the guy from my Nantes supporting mate. 

A real gem of French football hopes at Toulouse and Fiorentina from what I gather from the people I trust. 

I am a Nantes citizen, I can tell you he's world class..

He is trust me. He will become the 2nd French GK behind Maignan.

yeah nothing there that Kepa or mendy don’t save. Maybe should look at a goals conceded video instead.

Apparently we’ve made an 68m offer for a 20 year old forward Rasmus Hojlund. He scored a stunning 7 goals in 25 games in Serie A.

Seems like we want to spend ££££ on flavour of the month players. 

Gravenberch to Liverpool - 25m

Not so sure. Think its a red flag Bayern are willing to let him go so easily just after buying him.

Rasmus Hojlund (S) A primary target for Milan and Manchester United but not first choice for either. Napoli will look to him if they lose Osihem, Inter if they lose Lukaku and Juventus if they lose Vlahovic. Newcastle, Brighton and Arsenal have sent scouts. A wildcard option might be Bayern Munich or even Chelsea but not top of the list for either clubs. Real Madrid have spoken with Atalanta to propose a solution that would see a one year loan back. Atalanta will not look to sell unless the player asks for a move.

Obvious player in obvious decline? Let’s link Chelsea to it! 
 

Thankfully Romano calling it BS.

Cobham lads must be seriously considering thier futures with the club when we're just picking up and old 'talent' from abroad. Wish we'd just give Charlie Webster and Hall game time and show them they have a future here than picking up more Hutchinson's and whoever this lad is.

Crack I heard theres a load of Cobham staff looking to leave if a load of academy players are sold in the summer as it looks like happening.

Doesn't surprise you at all, does it. They spent the best part of 10 years developing these lads and we ship them out and watch them flourish elsewhere to bring in some Portuguese lads that need to adapt to a new country and more often than not aren't half as good as what we already have.

Wasn't the PL2 team almost relegated last season? Cobham has been relatively stale these past couple years with the exception of Cowill obviously. These things happen as we have seen with La Masia and Ajax academy. Golden generations come sparingly. 

I think Hall more than anyone will benefit the most from a loan. I also get Charlie Colkett vibes with Webster. Good but will never be good enough. 

MacAllister to Liverpool picking up. 60-70m. 

I really like the look of this Ugarte, not sure if he's a bit too gung-ho to play next to Enzo but could make one hell of a midfield if we miss out on Rice.

He's a rash player but a profile we haven't had in our ranks since maybe prime 2014 Matic. Passing game is very good as well. 

Apparently has a 50m release clause. 

 

Busquets leaves Barcelona as a free agent. This is a DM.

Sadio Mane rumor won't go away. 

Tier 1 Argentine source claiming we are interested in Emiliano Martinez. 

Must be Pochettino's preferred GK.

Got in to a fight with a team mate, 31 years old now, and likely big wages. I used to be a big fan, but I don't feel this would be a good move for us.

Good I woild be happy with him as our number 1.

@JM7what is your take on these two rumours?

Mane is in such obvious decline too it would royally piss me off to see us even contemplate working with Bayern on a deal. 

I think Onana is the club's preferred GK target and Martinez may be Pochettino's. Think it works well for us, particularly with Slonina developing to take over once Dibu steps down.
