Doesn't De Gea's contract expire next summer? I wonder if Bazunu would represent a potential replacement. Him and Sancho - we could have a little group of ex City academy graduates!

Why would Lukaku's agent feel that way? He makes money whenever his client moves so he must be very happy
That's surely Lukaku's agent every summer.
This is depressing so many midfield targets moving around we could absolutely do with for very reasonable prices. I guess we don't know if he's a ETH type of player but still...
You've got to love the balls of these Italian clubs. We'll give you two euros and bit of old rope. What do you say?

I want to cry. Would have been my ideal full back for Utd.
He will not go cheaply like Bissouma has to Spurs.
He's only one year into his contract and has stated that he is happy at Brighton and loves working with Potter and the squad. The club have said they do not intend to sell, but obviously they would for a mega offer, but it would have to be big, possibly more than Ben White, I think they'd look at 60M, I gues its for City to work out if he's worth that to them.
It would be a big issue for us as left back has been our problem position for a while filled by Dan Burn, Solly March and even Trossard played there once or twice! Cucurella has fixed that amazingly, so the club would be very reluctant to let him go so quickly. But Tony Bloom has always said he won't stand in the way of careers if the offer is big enough.
Ya I reckon it would be around £50m personally. I imagine the player will make it very clear he wants to go to City also which could reduce Brighton's bargaining power a bit. He's been amazing for you. Can't see you replacing him in just 1 season. Along with losing Bissouma those are 2 incredibly difficult players to replace. Hope you manage to avoid a relegation fight, I like the way your club has been run. Your manager and players have really done an excellent job.
He's made for City, we don't sign decent fullbacks.
Surprisingly losing Bissouma is not so much of a problem. It's a bit like losing Ben White last year, we knew it was coming and have planned accordingly. We are rich in CMs right now Caicedo, Alzate, Mwepu, Lallana, Mac Allister and Moder.
Losing Cucurella would be very different as he was bought because we have no left back cover at all, hence the very high price!
Unsurprising Pep is all over this guy. Looks brilliant.

I'm convinced Inter and Lukaku have been colluding from the beginning to scam Chelsea. This isn't making sense. Sell a guy from nearly 100m and few months later he's yapping in interviews about wanting to go back, and he's reportedly been in touch with Inter since January trying to manipulate his way back there. Now he's willing to take a humongous pay-cut to go back and they're offering us 5m. This is a scam, and both club and player need to be investigated for fraud

Waiting on a run at Bellingham
Having your business done by w/e 19 June, fair play.
Liverpool done with their business before we even get started on ours. And coming from a position where they beat us 9-0 over two games last season. Says a lot.

Well yeah, ours was always going to be a lot more work given the shape of the squad. Whilst there's just needed some finishing touches, ours needs the house demolishing and rebuilding.
There's was going to take less time to complete, but surely that should mean we make an early start. Like you said, we have so much to do, and have done next to nothing it would seem.
We're falling behind in a race we're already near the back of.
I'm waiting until we fly out for preseason to start panicking. Most player have just finished nations league that we are targeting so wouldn't be available until start of July. If we get to that point with mostnof our targets not secured I'll be worried and annoyed.
Liverpool being done this early is hardly impressive. They only signed Nunez and Ramsay and given the Mane departure they will likely be a lesser team next year.
Of course as things stand they are still massively superior to us, but this specific fact is hardly something to use to bash the club for. Still early days.

Diaz already is Mane replacement out wide. Nunez improves on Firminho.
They don’t need to make signings for the sake of it.
I know, yet they will still be a lesser team without Mane in my opinion.
City signing another LWB for £50m when they’ve already got arguably the best in the league there in Cancelo is just taking the piss. Just like them signing Haaland and Alvarez when they were already the highest scoring side in the country.
It‘s comically ridiculous depth like this that will make it virtually impossible for anyone else to win the league ahead of them for the foreseeable future. Liverpool have had to be almost perfect over recent seasons just to keep up and they still failed. Now City are going to be even stronger.

I think the idea is to have Cucurella on the left and Cancelo on the right. Walker will probably lose his first team place next season if it goes through.
Guess City and Liverpool didn't get the memo that the transfer window's only just opened and we all need to calm down.Tweet

Signing players like Alvarez and Haaland or Carvalho and Nunez before the window's even opened. What are they like, eh?
Everyone knows the best way to do it is to spend months chasing one player than go for a gettable target like Fellaini or Cavani on deadline day.
Our club is in the mud.
And Carvalho. A very promising talent who could have impact as early as this season.
Was hoping we'd go in for him, thought he was brilliant every time I watched Brighton. LB isn't a pressing issue but I do like the look of Malacia also.
Alvarez and Carvalho (not officially but was reported heavily at the end of January). was done in January? And Haaland has been in the works for probably two years. Only one out of the blue is Nunez (and Ramsay if it gets completed soon) he was signed after the window was opened.
That's probably sensible, it's just feeling a little too familiar right now. This has all the signs of a Glazernomics window. Fixating on overly ambitious targets, whilst not being able to take advantage of more getable options - then panic and make some left-field last minute decisions.
Weirdly, I'd still back us to do better next season with the squad we currently have/players we've moved on/new manager at the helm than we did last even before any arrivals. It probably wouldn't be enough to crack top 4, mind.
