We’ll find a deal I’m sure. Milan need the dosh as well

They are about to get 55mill from city for a midfielder.

If we stopped asking Sanchez to play out from the back and just let him be a shot stopper, he's ok for now. It's this obsession with passing it around in the final 3rd of our end that leads to all the mess.

Still doesn’t excuse Sanchez having an awful passing % relative to the other top keepers in Europe:

We need to sign him.

Have you ever heard of the Schrodinger's goalie?

Is he the 16 year old we signed for £20m from the Outer Mongolian 4th Division?

No, he was from Palau u21’s premier division you jackass.

If we can shift Sanchez and Petrovic this magic Mike smoke screen might reveal our true target.

James Trafford.

Already have Palmer, Lavia, Delap and about to get Gittens from Big Enzs City youth side. Why would we not go for Trafford as well?

Or if you're this fking ridiculous don't even bother getting on the phone and making yourselves look stupid. Watch what price these morons value Kepa at though to get shot.

If it was Marina driving these deals i would say, maybe she could pull it off. You just know these clowns will either embarrass themselves and back out or they'll crumble anyway.

In all honesty if we get an offer of 10mill euros for kepa I think we take it. His book value cannot be much left now. That should cover it with a small profit.

I think we extended him last summer in the hope his loan meant we would not lose him for free

They value kepa at £5m apparently, which is why they are probably trying to justify their valuation of Maignan with a year left but one is the France no1. Helped his last 2 clubs to win leagues and cups, team of season etc etc the other is arguably the biggest flop in world football so yeah they’re the same🙄.

It’s their job to negotiate I get it but I don’t know if these two can even spot a good deal. They certainly don’t seem to know or care when they’re getting screwed.

Maybe it’s the internet and constant speculation, links, negotiations etc. I should switch off and just read the done deals. It’s gonna be a long summer otherwise.

Looks like it’s all falling into place nicely for us

We typically have a good relationship with Milan and I see no leverage for them. It’ll end up like the Pulisic deal where we meet halfway.

Maignan just told Milan he wants to leave and join Chelsea according to Ben Jacobs.

I wonder if we’re going to say we’re not increasing our offer and let Maignan do all the work.

Maignan for around 10m would be truly incredible piece of business.

Assuming it is true, he is with France right now after all, it won't get done for 10mill imo. 18mill euros minimum. Alegri real wants him to stay.

Can we please just stop with the Magic Mike. If we sign him I don't wish to have the constant imagery of him prancing about like an oaf, titillating the ladies with his swollen body part all game

I’ll be honest I thought magic Mike was a nickname for Micheal Jordan. You’ve just ruined it for me.

Just play Petrovic and sacrifice Sanchez to whichever gods will listen.

I'd call this a successful day then.... ;)

Magic Mike could do nothing about Spains first goal but really should have done better with the second

50% on save percentage in that first half, but 90% on the all important passing percentage !

It wasn't Maresca that made his mind up, it was the board. He never had one training session with Petrovic before saying Sanchez was his number one. It was the same with Chalobah, Chukwuemeka and Chilwell.

Haven’t seen much of Petrovic over the season but his upturn in form would have to be massive for him to come back as our No 1.

I’d say Maignan is a big upgrade on anything we currently have at the club.

Conceded 4 already tonight

I think tonight has just knocked £10m off his price 😂

Mike's not having a great second half is he ? LOL

5-1 now
