40-50m is a great number for a Casemiro understudy with real promise. It can't be understated how important it is we bring one in this summer (Christ just watch back yesterdays game if you have doubts)I don't know where people are getting the impression he'd be cheap. His buyback clause for City becomes active summer 2024 and is around £40m. If clubs want to get him out this summer he'll cost well north of £50m.
The current financial circumstances at the club will not be relevant come the Summer.All funds need to go towards a striker to be honest I think but he looks a talent
It depends whether Southampton go down. Relegation might mean they have to accept a slightly lower bid, though I doubt it'd be a significant reduction in cost. Even £50m wouldn't be a bad price if we're confident he can grow into the role longer term, though.I don't know where people are getting the impression he'd be cheap.

They aren't gone yet!The current financial circumstances at the club will not be relevant come the Summer.
We’ll have enough for both & then some.
Is that right? I thought the latest version of the FFP rules were that clubs could spend no more than 70% of total revenue by 2025/26. So it doesn't matter how much debt the new owners pay off, or how much equity they inject, the only thing that matters is revenue. So either we make a lot of revenue from sales (Martial? Maguire? McTominay? Greenwood?) and/or the new owners arrange for a spectacular sponsorship arrangement.......The current financial circumstances at the club will not be relevant come the Summer.

Mostly just a younger/worse version in the same position at this point. But he's also playing in a team thats doing nowhere near as well so probably harder to look as goodHow is he compared to Caicedo? A less defensively sound better attacking cheaper player? More of an 8 to Caicedo’s 6?
Guess we’ll see come the end of the next window.Is that right? I thought the latest version of the FFP rules were that clubs could spend no more than 70% of total revenue by 2025/26.

Probably goes for less if Southampton get relegated, and I can't see him going back to City to sit on the bench behind Rodri and Philipps as 3rd choice.I don't know where people are getting the impression he'd be cheap.

Ketchup and Bazunu too.I think him and Walker-Peters are the two to take, if anyone from that Saints team
Bazunu is statistically the worst keeper in the league. Looked like Lev Yashin today of course, but so does every third shite keeper than rocks up to OT.Ketchup and Bazunu too.
Don't think all necessarily start for us but all certainly improve the squad and all the right age.
I dont think he's as good as the Irish contingent on here believe (because obviously) but he's a good goalkeeper and also the right profile of keeper we should be looking at.Bazunu is statistically the worst keeper in the league.

I’m not that’s true anymore. Relegated players still seem to go for a premium.Really enjoyed his performance today. Seems to be a really solid, tenacious and surprisingly clean passer of the ball (similar to a certain Brazilian we’ve all fallen in love with this season).
Would be a good signing and not overly expensive I imagine if Soton are to go down.
Bella-Kotchap also looked decent, sign them up!
Yeah. They'd be a really nice pair. I think Casemiro and then one of Bruno or Eriksen could play with either. Lavia is weaker but also can slow things down and sees more in possession. Caicedo-Casemiro would be lacking in creativity, but we'd be really fluid and tough defensively, and maybe Shaw, Lisandro and getting the ball out wide in a hurry is enough to compensate.How is he compared to Caicedo?

He's been excellent for Ireland and was excellent against United. But yeah Southampton fans have been critical.I dont think he's as good as the Irish contingent on here believe (because obviously) but he's a good goalkeeper and also the right profile of keeper we should be looking at.
Ward-Prowse if fee was reasonable?I think him and Walker-Peters are the two to take, if anyone from that Saints team
With our luck, he’ll never score from set pieces again once he signs for us.Ward-Prowse if fee was reasonable?
It’s not comparable, one is a solidified premier league starter that is excelling. The United players might not make it.Good prospect.....so is Mainoo and Hannibal.
Our three most pressing needs for me are a striker and a partner for Casemeiro. I think a young centre back also comes above signing a back up for Casemeiro.
I dont see £40/50m on Latvia as a viable proposition with our needs and the likely costs for some of our supposed top targets
Not like PL signings have never failed for us right ?It’s not comparable, one is a solidified premier league starter that is excelling. The United players might not make it.
