How do you scout a player now? The season is over, this is a load of rubbish.

As a side-note, Bernardeschi just changed his agent. The new agent is a certain Mino Raiola
They are basically saying that they believe (either strongly or with certainty from the club) that he won't move this window, probably cause of the new contract with a buy-out clause active next summer, so we will continue to scout him over the next year to see if we are in for him next summer.
Why is there even a need to come out with this? Scout the player but do it privately. I am sure we scout loads of players around Europe. We always end up scouting players a year too late, after they've become well known.
There's our Sancho alternative, Douglas Costa, should be able to get him for a decent fee.
Next season. We are already in excuses mode. Don't expect much to happen this window after the last briefings.
That's why he said the player "will" be continued to be scouted.
We didnt come out with it?
If Chelsea add Havertz, Chilwell and White on top of Werner and Ziyech, they'll challenge next season for the PL. Especially if they add a solid GK and they all gel quickly.

They literally have no clue. Translation:
"It hasn't happened yet, despite what we made up before, so lets make something else up to justify why it hasn't happened yet"
It’s easy to tell, as the whole article is about three paragraphs long. They’ve just filled half the page with photos, videos and adverts.
Fairly typical paper 'story' then.
The transfer window closes in October.
Same day, new shit/recycled shit...
Nothing new for us on top targets, not close to signing anyone, JadOff/JadOn, only rumours regarding bench players for large sums, not even one rumour or news regarding our deadwood, other teams doing business and getting ready for the coming season...
I should be used to this since this is what 90% of our windows have looked like since forever...

It's just a fluff piece. No need to get worked up by it. We have scouts all over the world reporting on players all the time. We don't 'miss' players by not scouting them.
It's like those articles from ex-Utd scouts saying 'I told Utd to sign Mbappe and Dybala before they moved clubs'. That guy is just trying to a get his name out there for a new job. Most of the hot young prospects are know and have been known since 14-15 years old. It's about whether we pursue the right ones and if they go on to great things.
The list of players Arsene Wenger had on trial is legendary but most of the missed signings out of those players were because of work permits or other offers.
Love to see this go through for a bit of AFTV drama
Don't really see why he would make that switch, he wants to play mainly as a midfielder. Also not sure he'd get more money than if he renewed at Arsenal.
Add a 10M Spurs tax and i'd be fine with it, wish him luck.
I don't think they would be massively bothered. @awop 's post pretty much sums it up.
The wage demands put me off Cavani more than the age factor if I am honest
They'll receive 20 million for a so-so player. Sounds pretty good to me.
Chelsea or anyone else for that matter are not getting White unless they bid over 50 million and with Chelsea’s outlay so far this year that’s not happening
Sounds like Jack is still a slim possibility which is music to my ears and we would be prepared to wait until next summer for Dayot. This may well mean we bring back Smalling for next season
Thought your board wanted to launch him against Arteta's wishes to raise some funds?
They'll find it somehow, pocket change for Roman is £50-60m.

Smalling will go to Roma. He won’t want to be thirds choice here.
Quite a young back line for Arsenal with room to improve in Tierney/Saka, Gabriel, Saliba and Bellerin.

From today's Kicker:
basically saying that while some people in United's sphere may hope for a summer transfer of Sancho despite Dortmund's "no" the bosses will have a better understanding of the situation and thus intensify their efforts in the direction of another wide attacker: Douglas Costa
Though I don't know why Kicker would know about what United may or may not plan with regards to Costa. He apparently doesn't even have a German agent.
You getting relegated this season mate. Qoute me on that. You can keep your 50m bag of chips down there.

Why are you so bitter mate, he's a fan, allow him to dream.
The good old arrogance , I get it

Can you tell them in German, if you don't mind please, that nobody cares about their opinion and they should stop being too sensitive.
They're just reporting what's been in the English press.

Here is their contact form, if you want to tell them about how they hurt your feelings.
It's possible, though they usually don't pass on other journalist's gossip as their own info.
