Nothing article listing players who were never going to come to us, but it's obviously a thing that players will turn us down. I'd love to get Frenkie de Jong and Tchouameni, but being realistic, we are not going to get them this summer. Next summer might be different. This summer we're dealing in a lower reputation of player market. It's a good thing IMO. And there's plenty of quality players there too. Darwin, Timber, Antony, Kamara for example would be a great summer for us, just doubt Ajax would sell them. Or you've got Raphinha who is going down with Leeds, Mukiele with his contract situation being only 10m or so, Nkunku, etc.
We won't get any star players this summer, but we don't need them. We need good young players who can develop into top players, but with mentalities ready to be molded as a team.
