Probably Valencia feeding the tabloids, raising the profile of one of its players. They're having a clear-out sale and the window is closing soon.

Where'd the rumour start from, anyways? It suddenly popped out of the blue, recently.
Can't remember. But had zero traction to follow it up.
Interested to see how he does and just the right move for him too I feel. Remember us and SPurs heavily linked with him the SUmmer he went to ROma and looked a huge talent but doesnt seem to have quite worked out for him there from little I have seen. If he can keep fit and integrate, think he could be an excellent signing for them, tons of ability
I mean I just sold him to Chelsea on FM for £125m but..yeah good deal I guess 
Tons of ability, sure, but it remains to be seen if he can use it well. He'll have lots of competition for the wide areas in Leicester, so he won't necessarily be guaranteed the minutes to iron out his game.
I never understand the terminology of this. They've bought him for 27 mill. The first loan period just seems to be a way to spread the fee. Leicester's books show they've only spent 3 million, whereas Roma can get the incoming 24 million on loan. It's not a loan with an obligation to buy, its just instalment plans.

Seems to be par for the course for United, some interest but no official bid.
I think you need a new shift key
I think it’s some kind of code to break
If hes available why the hell arent we giving them Smalling for Under
They get what they want, we improve the right wingHis signing is probably beneath us.If hes available why the hell arent we giving them Smalling for Under
There's no way that's even close to what Lyon would want for him, right? I was under the impression he'd require a hefty transfer fee.
Because he is not very good?If hes available why the hell arent we giving them Smalling for Under
I think they will sell for 50m.

Under has ability and potential, but he's quite raw and is frustrating at this time. Fonseca stopped starting him in the 2nd half of the season due to his poor decision-making and overall inconsistency. Imagine how that would be received here; people would be asking for him to be sold.
I guess it's up to Levy to finalise on the terms.

- Bale's entourage deny any contacts with United (thanks to @dwd)
- Dele Alli will not be part of the loan offer
- Dele Alli loan is a separate matter; Alli has been offered on loan to several clubs
- Spurs can only pay 50% of the wages; Real Madrid want Spurs to pay for all of it
- Bale is pushing to leave Real Madrid

What constitutes interest? We should have and largely do have scouts watching every player in Europe.
Does watching a player 2-3 times constitute interest? Probably enough for the newspaper to write an article and get the clicks. The likelihood of that meaning intent to buy is likely very low.
In our case, we show interest when we start contacting a player's agent(s)/camp to monitor their status. Scouting doesn't indicate much on whether we'd want them to join us.
50M would be a reasonable price, even in the coronavirus economy. Would be a quality addition to a solid Arsenal midfield.
In the Instagram post he says Bale's people have denied any interest from us so that's good.
I’m sure he’s a talent but his highest amount of games he’s started for Roma in 3 seasons with 17 games. Only started 10 last season.
In total he has 13 goals and 8 assists in 70 matches in Serie A. Nothing to suggest missing out on him is anything to complain about.
That was under Eusebio di Francesco last season. He likes the player. Since he was sacked, no other manager has really taken a liking to him.

Rough translation: Karsdorp might not be as interested in joining Genoa (he prefers to stay instead), which makes it tougher for Roma to get de Sciglio from Juventus.

The article link is broken, but this one's working fine.

Jack Stephens extends his stay with Southampton by 4 years.
Isn't that a case of tapping up?
If you're going to take Dortmund's word, yeah. If we continue down that train of thought, I'm surprised that Dortmund haven't put us in trouble over this...
Some gut on him there.
Its weird. Surely Sancho and his team have permission from Dortmund to talk to United given all the reliable news(whatever you make think about it) about it. If there was no such permission, given Dortmund's stance right now, surely they would raise a storm regarding United tapping up Sancho.
There are ways to talk to players behind club’s backs in ‘this day and age.
Every player is tapped up. It’s not the shock it was 20 years back
Of course. But it is something which you do, everybody knows it but turn blind eye about it. But when it comes in public then it is a problem.
Yes, and most clubs don't mind it if it doesn't harm them. But Dortmund being so adamant about their position, you would expect them to say something about it.

First injury in 3,2,1....
Are spurs contenders this season
No.
Definitely contenders for Europa league spots
With Jose? Only if Bale decides to be cnut. Not stupid cnut but intelligent cnut.
