£60m? One year of qualifying for the CL versus not qualifying, or thereabouts.60m + and 28 + years old. And we thought signing Casemiro was a bad decision.
Really good player.

One-nana is enough!Onana is who we should be signing.
They latest rumors were €55-60m with Bayern having an agreement with the player but not wanting to pay this much. They are looking for a steeper discount on what they agreed upon with Fulham in the summer.£60m? One year of qualifying for the CL versus not qualifying, or thereabouts.

Yep. He's no better than when he signed for them for £17m 2 or so years ago. It was mad that we weren't in for him and Boubacar Kamara at the time but it would be even madder to go back in for him now at triple the price and him heading towards his 30s.To me he strikes me as the exact type of player we’ve made so many blunders on and should stay away from him. 60 mil is a large investment especially at his age and the rest of the money that would need spent to get the team up to speed. We’d be better once again buying for the future so we have a squad that is maturing together.
To be honest every time I’ve watch him I wonder what all the hype is about. He’s alright but sure we could find better at a better age profile.
You did not. He is a beast defensively, but should be surrounded with supreme technical ability around him if we finally want to be a side who is comfortable going against heavy press from top sides. Which we might be able to do in some areas (Martinez, Shaw, Mainoo..), but for example you add Bruno and Rashford along with Hojlund on top and well, you conclude, we won't be able to compensate for it to full extent. And that he is simply not worth such an outlay at his age. At the price that Fulham paid 2 years ago, it is no brainer of course.Are people not concerned with how limited he is on the ball? The numbers aren't terrible but when I watch I am not seeing much range. Beast of a tackler but bringing in a guy in his late 20's who is all about engine and physicality with mediocre technical abilities does not seem to line up with many of the complaints that have been made about our current options.
When building from the back he tends to push forward and let Iwobi and Cainey drop in and make the play, gets a lot of his passes through picking up breaking balls and neutralizing attacks. Does that very well but you will not get much playmaking out of him from deeper areas. Maybe I have just watched the wrong games.

He was so stupid extending his contract at Fulham if going to Bayern was his big dream.Tweet

Kerry hau reporting that Bayern has informed Palhinha that no transfer will happen in January. Not quite clear if that means not now or not ever, but he makes it sound like the latter.
He was already on long contract with Fulham so his transfer fee would be more or less similar even without extension , I think him extending his contract with pay rise is actually smart rather than pinning all hopes on transfer which may or may not happen .He was so stupid extending his contract at Fulham if going to Bayern was his big dream.
Tbf to him I think he still had a lot of years remaining but I almost remember reading that he had some sort of gentleman’s agreement (yeah, I know!) with Fulham when he extended. ie if bayern came in again, he could go as it gave them enough time to find a replacement (which was the sticky point in the summer iirc).He was so stupid extending his contract at Fulham if going to Bayern was his big dream.
The problem with the DM position at Bayern is, that they really only need a „proper“ defensive midfielder in maybe 12 games per season. In regards to other targets: i hope they consider Zubimendi.Tbf to him I think he still had a lot of years remaining but I almost remember reading that he had some sort of gentleman’s agreement (yeah, I know!) with Fulham when he extended. ie if bayern came in again, he could go as it gave them enough time to find a replacement (which was the sticky point in the summer iirc).
Anyhow, football moves fast. Do you thinks you guys will still come in for him or maybe you have identified another target?
Zubimendi is a talent yeah. I get you, especially a large investment in a position you don’t need often. Or maybe a “DM” a little technically better than Palhinha.The problem with the DM position at Bayern is, that they really only need a „proper“ defensive midfielder in maybe 12 games per season.
