Basically, PSG are convinced that their package is better than what Barcelona can offer to Messi.

Both United and Chelsea are interested, apparently, but sources close to the player are only stating that there are Premier League clubs that are strongly interested without mentioning any particular clubs.
This would be a huge coup for us.

He'll be like a new signing! :nervous:

So basically we should release Eric Bailly?
No but knowing United we will be sold that this is like a new signing because Bailly is able to keep fit for 6 games now rather than 1.5 rather than actually signing a new CB which we desperately desperately need

Regardless of Bailly's contract situation, we are targeting a new CB. We are not required to let go of or sell CBs in order to bring new ones in.

Ah, internet hysterics then. Release Eric Bailly you know, ffs.
He should have been sold. No way we should hand him a 3 or even 4 year deal. He is injured far too often. Sign a CB and make Lindelof backup

As announced by L'Équipe yesterday, PSG have opened initial discussions to extend Julian Draxler [his contract] (contract ends in June). Nothing indicates that it will succeed and especially that the player is still projecting himself [as a more valuable player] in Paris. He almost intended to leave.

Sold to who? His contract is expiring, and he should get a new one, as if he doesn’t, he’ll be released - which would be daft. That is the situation of Eric Bally, nothing to do with Lindelof’s or any prospective incoming defender.

He should have been sold over the past 2/3 years when we knew he was a crock

So he'll be the CB signing.
Yeah much like Amad will be pressured into being the saviour on the RW when a properly run club will actually buy a new CB and also take the pressure off the young prospect by signing a starter in that position. I am also convinced that Matic has gotta announce he is leaving at end of the season or we have no hope of a new DM this summer at all

"They feel very good here and are part of a big project. Of course I speak to them, we are stronger with them."

Marco Verratti talks about the future of Mbappé and Neymar and hopes to see them extend to PSG to win the Champions League.

Would be too good to be true. Send VdB the other way

We need someone who is fast/commanding and also speaks the language now..
The last bit can be learned. Anyway who is fast, commanding, top level and English?

Id take a top defender who doesn't speak English yet over any of the English lot

Who gives a feck about his preference? :lol:

He's not the manager nor the DOF

Not sure how much English Vida knew,if any, when he joined but he still managed to form the greatest CB pairing in Premier League history regardless.

That's the most incredible excuse I've ever heard. feck him.
If anything, this could be conjecture based off of his failing partnership with Lindelöf. However, Bailly and Maguire have worked quite well with each other, and I think it further proves that Lindelöf and Maguire can't play together. It has to be one or the other.

It doesn't sound good at all whatever it is. He's the fecking captain. It's his job to instill that knowledge into the team if it's not intrinsically understood. Problem is he is not a leader and never will be. The club should take it on the chin and cut our losses with this lumbering Riverdance wannabe fraud.

I find this weird because Bailly and Maguire together have had some shockers.

Maguire / Lindelof comfortablly have had our best defensive performances with. However since they have played together more will obviously have more bad games together.

In any case that criteria from Maguire is worrying

Maguire plays quite differently when he's paired with Bailly vs. Lindelöf. With Lindelöf, he tends to drop off way more, whilst with Bailly, he tends to hold his defensive line more and doesn't try to do more than he should.

This is also why we're going for a new defender. Bailly won't always be available, and those below both him and Lindelöf aren't necessarily ready to step up so soon.
