Gosh that makes me feel old. Mbappe can't even remember Ronaldo in our red shirt. Hahahahaha

Mbappe would have been 5-11 during Ronaldo's time here, my guess is that jesé being a Real academy graduate means he has this this urge to constantly fellate them.

Utd started monitoring Milenkovic when Mourinho was here. I still think it's Fiorentina trying to hike up the price using us.

The more and more I read from Italian sources that we're in a good position or are planning to make a move for Milenkovic, the less confident I feel about him coming here. I honestly don't see what he offers other than a bit more pace and versatility.

There's not much in their story other than the fact that Barcelona have good relations with Aguero and his entourage. It's still quite speculative.

Cheeky cut-price Hakimi as Wan Bissaka competition?

I doubt that they'd struggle to get funds. I wouldn't be surprised if they go through a situation similar to AC Milan where some large investment firm eventually takes over to stabilise them. In the meantime, they'll look to let go of players with large wages who aren't necessarily contributing as much (Sanchez, Eriksen, and Vidal to name a few).

      • Both the player and the club want to continue their relationship
    • Niklas Süle
      • Recently got a new advisor in Volker Struth (of Sports360)
      • Struth wants a big-money contract for Süle
        • Puts Premier League clubs in contention (hence the Chelsea links)
      • Talks are still ongoing
      • Likely to stay, but don't rule out a transfer

      • Price: 20 million Euros
    • Jamal Musiala
      • Currently on a youth-player contract until 2022

RB Leipzig are leading the way in getting him.

RBLeipzig has reported to Brian Brobbey who will definitely leave next summer at Ajax and can sign a lucrative contract in Germany.
Click to expand...
On why Brobbey's leaving, apparently Haller isn't the reason behind him leaving, which makes sense as Brobbey was giving Ajax headaches before the January transfer window. The fact of the matter is that, if players want big-money contracts, they'll go to Mino, who has a great track record in that regard.

They are a train wreck in terms of transfers. We criticize Ed but these guys has been on a different level.

That's what Inter get with Conte and Marotta. Marotta will get whoever Conte wants with little to no compromise, and Conte won't care about the team's long-term future. He's basically like Mourinho in that respect, but Inter are paying him to win trophies, not build a long-term future.

Imo we asked fiorentina to be informed they re gonna sell and he s somewhere in a list of cb s we re monitoring.
I cannot see him partnering Maguire though. If I m not wrong Milenkovic is around 6ft5. I expect the club to focus on someone more mobile with a faster change of direction. But that s my opinion.

He is quite mobile for such a tall player, to be fair. The fact that he's played at right back on a few occasions in the past is evidence of that, IMO. Based on that, I'm not surprised that we're still monitoring him. Whether Ole is indeed interested in him is another question altogether.

That's good to know. Still, the club would maintain contacts over players without Ole necessarily approving of signing them. The club hierarchy does this to ensure that they have first dibs on players that they're keen on for a smoother transfer procedure and no last-second surprises if other clubs get involved.

We shall see how this develops in the summer. We're most certainly looking for new centre backs to move on from Smalling, Jones, and Rojo.

We all love United
So we are looking at Kounde and this guy too as the potential CB signing? Anyone else i missed out? Pau Torres? Sergio Ramos doesn’t count. Also i suppose we have already dropped our interest in Upamecano

I don't believe we're looking at Kounde. Pau Torres has been touted as a potential target by Simon Peach and Paul Hirst, so there's likely genuine interest there.

You can't rule out Upamecano yet, but you can rule out Kounde. Other than those two + Milenkovic:
  • Pau Torres (nothing recent; this is based on last summer)
  • Benoit Badiashile (nothing recent; this is based on last summer)
  • Declan Rice (somehow???)

How much could we get for him if he has a decent season at Brugge?
Click to expand...
It depends on how badly Brugge want Chong and how much competition there'd be for him. My guess is 15 million Euros at most from any club out there, but I'm expecting anything from 8-12 million Euros.

The report itself is quite lengthy, and there are lots of quotes. Highlights:
  • Players outside of top 5 leagues will have a tough time coming to play in the PL or the Championship
  • The market now only consists of established players instead of unknown yet up-and-coming youngsters or hidden talents
    • Players who play in continental competitions
    • Players who play for their national team
  • Examples of players who may no longer be able to come in
    • Adama Traoré
    • Riyad Mahrez
    • N'Golo Kanté
  • Recent example of a player who could come in: Moises Caicedo
Essentially, when the PL and Championship would previously look for talented young players from Europe, they may now look at those sort of players from South America, particularly those who play in the Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana.
