Italian clubs in trying to lowball shocker
Supposedly we are after 20m + bonuses, so unsurprising that the 12m hasn’t been replied to.
I wonder what the price would be if we were trying to buy one of the better centre backs in Serie A last season. We shouldn't be letting him go for less than £25m (or at all unless replacing him in my opinion).
Even in a Corona market Smallings worth at least €20m.
I've always thought he'd be a improvement on Lindelof in the centre. Penaltybox handbags aside..

We should tell Roma to get fecked and sound out Bruce if he'll be interested in a deal for Smalling starting at £20 mil.
feck roma
Surely there are 5+ teams in the PL that would pay 20m for Smalling.
Good luck finding someone stupid enough to pay that
Can’t be arsed with Smalling being back.

Maybe true but neither will we replace him with better for £25m.Good luck finding someone stupid enough to pay that
We're about to sell Javi Martinrz to Bilbao for around 10m €. There's enough "value in the market", you just might have to look outside of England
Lots of bottom half English clubs would take him for 20m.Good luck finding someone stupid enough to pay that
The problem would be convincing Smalling to go to such a club.
We don't need to replace him as such since he wouldn't be starting for us anyway (which he knows and is partly why he wants to leave). We need someone even better than Lindelöf to take his starting place. Not to mention we need to sell Rojo and Jones too.
Isn't he out of contract next summer? Like I say, if we were trying to buy a top performing centre back from serie A we'd be quoted well over £20m..
More realistic move than all the Arsenal links. He's not really that good and his 18/19 season looks a one off. Not a bad signing on a free though.
Mings went for 20m and he’s better than him. Smalling is seriously underrated, would be the best CB at about 15 clubs in the Prem.Good luck finding someone stupid enough to pay that

Jamal Lewis to Newcastle is pretty much set in stone now.
Newcastle splashing the cash. 2020 is wild.
I'm all for selling Smalling but for that fee, we should keep him for cover. I'm sure a deal will be done though as the club don't want to keep a player that's been here as ling as he has if he really wants to leave and his value is so low.
Lautaro operation:
Barça offer 65 + a player.Inter demand at least 85.
Barça will give Vidal the free transfer as a gesture to negotiate

Lautaro is good mates with Messi,figures.
That’s it. Roma are lowballing United because Smalling told them he would only go there. On the other hand, if United chooses to keep Smalling, he would be happy as well.
It's a little disheartening for Smalling as he clearly wants to be there, but Roma throwing out derisory bids will surely make him feel unwanted?
Why would you make a bid if the player hasn't been asked whether he'd like the move? Seems a bit silly, to me.
In that case, he could force Roma’s hand by hinting he would accept a different destination. We will see. The point is, as usual with so many “cheap” transfers out there, clubs only make their move once they have an agreement (informal, if you like, but still an agreement in principle, until tenable) with the player.
I mean they spent a pretty similar amount last year. Transfermarkt says 65 Million in (Krath, Joelinton, Maximin) and 32 Milion out (Perez and Joselu)
£20 million on Wilson and £15 Million on Lewis is roughly the same.
Wilson, Fraser and Lewis is good business for them. They need a decent cb though. I wonder who might have some spare ones with PL experience
Meh, if they’re doing good business they probably won’t want ours
Newcastle on a bit of a spending spree, though probably not the level of players their fans thought they would be buying this summer.
Smalling. People on here have argued Newcastle is beneath him, Roma is good for him and all that. But Roma have shown through their bids they don't value or rate him at more than 12 million. Steve Bruce would pay 20 million for him. Hopefully he goes there because we desperately need to move on all our unwanted players this season. Problem is Phil Jones. How he got contracts over 8 years here is beyond me .
I have an inkling that the club are trying their best to do the best thing by Smalling, and if that’s the case, I think it’s classy if they are respecting his wishes and trying to make the move happen for him.
I refuse to believe that there are not 4-5 sides in the PL who would pay 20 million for him tomorrow, probably more.

Such a throughly boring window from a Utd perspective so far. Like last summer and the summer before.
I'd say there's a bit of "we'll do you a solid here and you remember it next time we're sniffing around one of your young talents" about that deal.
I think their fans will be very happy. There's nothing wrong with the level of players they've bought. The best players from clubs of a similar stature to them. Or at least a similar level. Makes far more sense than gross overspend on the likes of Joelinton.
Roma can do one with their £12million, hopefully Brucey will come in with a £20 million bid he’d be a good signing for them
Can see the final deal at 15m + 5m add ons. Tuanzebe can replace him in the squad. We need cash for Sancho and I'm sure Roma are aware. Regullion will be done this week for 25 and we'll have completed our transfers.
This is what you call a derisory offer. At this point I'd respond with suggesting a player swap of Smalling for Under
