I bet Ornstein has already penned his exclusive "Woolwich agree Tel deal" in his drafts and he's just waiting for the greenlight.

:contehmm:

Yeah, I'd like to think he'd choose us over Villa. But Chelsea, United and Woolwich is a different story. He might only want to join us on loan too which could then scupper things. Hard to know if he agrees to sign a 5 year deal. Its going to be a hard deal to close.
If I'm his agent I'm only agreeing to anything more than a 3 year deal with an absolutely ironclad release clause for 70M or whatever.

Tel knows Harry Kane, he knows how this goes with Levy.
 
Dont they normally agree with player first then club nowadays?

Got a feeling lots of journos are playing catch up on this.

Technically they need to get agreement with club first who agrees the potential buyer can talk to player.

In practice clubs talk to players agent to get to a 'pro forma' agreement before agreeing with club, otherwise its pointless spending a lot of time with club before player saying 'no chance'
 
Richy can’t stay fit, Solanke is out, even just to have a target man for the rest of the season then get Dibling on the wing I assume in the summer is better than nothing. We then will need to replace Richy and if Tel is only a loan with another striker.

If the window is Tel and Tomori then it’s something even if way too late.

For the pursposes of this season; what's the problem with:

Rich <> Tel (even if it means shopping for a permanent replacement in the summer)
Werner <> Dibling.

?
 
You don't make an agreement with the club unless you have an idea that the player is interested.

I just think he knows he'll have a choice of clubs if a deal can be agreed. I can see it dragging out until Monday. Once United know what's happening with Rashford and/or Garnacho, Woolwich know where they stand and Chelsea decide if they have enough room for a 26th winger.

My biggest fear is Woolwich will take Rashford from United, and Tel will go to United.

Absolutely agree with bolded bit.

But it does open doors to other clubs offering similar to Munich and then those clubs also talking to Tel.
 
Lange when Tel’s agent pops out of the hotel…

Except the fact we have shitloads of PSR headroom vs those teams and its January which is a window clubs are notoriously wont to spend in, that's literally the only reason we have any chance of getting a player that United, Chavs, Woolwich et al are interested in.

I don't have access to the up to the minute PSR numbers for those teams. Do you?

Dibling sounds like loan back probably. Tel even if it’s a loan and someone like Tomori who can cover left centre back are the bodies we need right now while things are a bit shit.

I mean Tel, Dibling, Tomori and Gomes would be amazing and give us the depth we need for 4 competitions and this injury spate but I expect 2 in at best.
