It's probably not the right thread to discuss this, but this account has got an awful lot correct recently (can only think of Gomes contract that he got wrong, but got King, Ighalo and now VDB correct before any main stream media/other "ITK's"). Clearly got a source. Either way, VDB is a solid...

No chance, I've been following the news on Twitter so I know there's been no update. Would have taken me half a day to read through every post.

I didn't come on the Caf for a week and realise there's over 250+ pages on this thread with little to no update.

Reads more like a throwaway comment to strengthen his case about spending in the market, rather than breaking news he heard. One of the problems with people simply hearing news from aggregators is that they don't think about the context of the articles/news being broken.

Thiago Silva on a free transfer even purely for his leadership skills and winning mentality will be worth it. He's still got a few years left if managed correctly.

I'm fairly sure he can play there fairly competently. I remember watching him fairly deep last season and at times this season with Luis Alberto and Parolo/Lucas slightly further forward at times. He's arguably better further forward but he can play deeper. I'm not sure about the balance of a...

Even if that's true there's no chance I'm believing anything coming from Delaney.

Alli's level has fallen these past two seasons but I guess my comment was more about how both players are better closer to goal and score quite a few goals when playing further up front. It'll be interesting to see Havertz in England, as imo due to his height he's not the most blessed in terms...

I've seen a few people comparing him to KDB recently. I've not seen an awful lot of Havertz, but he reminds me more of Dele Alli rather than KDB in his close control and movement.

I've not seen much of him but was impressed whenever I have seen him. Extremely tall but also very good on the ball. I remember reading articles on him last year comparing him to VVD, so I wonder how he's developed this season.

Axel has a lot of the attributes to be a top CB. He has a lot of qualities that, on paper, would make give him a good partner for Maguire. However, his recent injury record has been atrocious and he's still very untested as a starting CB in the premier league. Hopefully, he'll stay injury free...

Hard to say really. I remember watching clips of him and thinking he looked more talented than Tuanzebe (who was one of the best defender we've produced in years), but who's to say he'd develop the same way had he moved here?

I remember reading similar stories a few years back on Upamecano, where we didn't pay a small fee for him (relatively large fee for his age at the time) and ended up missing out on him. There does seem to be a shift in that approach and we have been aggressively recruiting youth players these...

"Does it make sense to limit our spending this summer?" as opposed to, I assume, unlimited spending. To answer briefly, yes it's not feasible to spend without a limit. If your point is, should we perhaps spend over our budget to strengthen the squad (even if it means using up money taken from a...

I had previously preferred United prioritse funds in a CDM over another play marker, but looking at the distinct drop in quality once Bruno is substituted out for Pereira (with Lingard likely to be sold), I think signing a creative play maker like Grealish makes a lot of sense, even if on paper...
