100% or probably?
Which is it JC?
For what it’s worth I think Alonso is off to Bayern in a year, it’s probably why they were sniffing round Rangnick as a short term replacement.
But Leverkusen, although having just won the Bundesliga and look like they could do a treble as well, are still a relatively small club on a low budget. Who if offered big money now would be reluctant to pass over
JC would rather us spend 250m on 10 players than 1 that would improves us and calls it good business. We don't need squad players, rather that went to our excellent academy players, I don't think it's sinking in, we need A factor kind of signing.
You boys crack me up. Wirtz 100% Alonso probably. So if we can't have him or Valverde - who has just extended until 2029 - it's the EDS then

So because Valverde has a contract it means we can't buy him? Granted it means we pay premium, but is it not better to buy quality first time out
Ever heard the phrase "buy cheap buy twice"?

one billion euro release clause apparently
Dani Olmo might be a runner
https://onefootball.com/en/news/dani-ol ... y-39305662- ex Barca of course.

Paqueta set to be charged or cleared by next week - odds on the latter and City to pounce. Much prefer him to Olmo.

Yan is wanted by a few Prem clubs according to the BBC Gossip page. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to have him go on loan to one without an option to buy. Would have to be a top half team, possibly a Brighton.
No point in these loans to shitty teams like Sheff United. McAtee hasn’t learnt anything this season and would have been better staying with us. He’ll be sold in the summer now.

Doyle is still only 20 and will probably have another year on loan at Leicester in the Prem, hopefully. Goes against what I just said, but I think with him there’s either that or another Championship club.
Yan Couto is different as he’s been playing for a team that’s done well in the top division of Spain and by all accounts he’s had a decent season. Theres an argument that he should probably stay here and work under Walker learning from him, if he’s to be his long term replacement. Pep loved Dani Alves and Yan is a similar player - so it’ll be interesting to see what happens.

i think he's decent but having spent the last 3 seasons out on loan, i very much doubt that he'll be in our first team plans

Doyle had a big injury last season that kept him out for months.
He’ll probably be as good as this Braithwaite fella that everyone is saying is worth £60-80m. We won’t get that, we’ll sell him to another team and then they’ll sell him for that amount.

i think THB to southampton is mandatory if they get promoted.
He will be another sold on for a huge fee eventually. Surprised Burnley didnt buy him, they have had a huge gap in their defence this season and might have stayed up.
Mase is right, Branthwaite or THB not much difference. We will get 50p and everton 60-80 m!
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mate is a Blackburn fan. They had both H-B and Braitwaite on loan. He said Harwood-Bellis was ten times the player. More commanding, more comfortable with the ball at his feet, more of a leader.

Always rated THB didn't understand why we let him leave but we obviously did not think he would make it. Be interesting to see him in the PL as ireckon Saints will come up
