aint happening lol
 
Said it as last 2 seasons now it's blatantly obvious, we need a midfield enforcer. Not a weak "Viking" or a "tidy" player. A beast, a bastard someone the opponents look at and go "Fuck, not him".

They cost money, so Levy, get it sorted.
We do not need a midfield enforcer we need someone who can actually play football and is comfortable on the ball and can be used to start all our play a Declan Rice or Rodri style player. We do not have a single central midfielder who can play in Conte's current set up.
 
For those who wanted Never....well, it looks like Man Utd. always wants him. I know it's The Sun but when it comes to football news they are many times one of the better news sites (as football is one of their main features), despite of times coming up with blatantly made up stories

 
How is it Levy over scouting come on John, money's been spent! Just badly

Emerson
Rodon
Bergwijn
Lo Celso
Ndombele
Doherty

etc etc

How many of those players were bought because the football people thought they were the best players and how many were bought because there were financial reasons?

Emerson was looked at as a deal because of Barcelona's finances, Lo Celso with the loan deal set up allowed us to save money by the way we structured the deal, Doherty was cheap and not a fit to play RB in Jose's system, Rodon cheap, cheap, cheap not the starting CB that we needed.

Many other examples of similar purchases based on finances not football.
 
50 million is nuts for a player with his injury record IMO

Don't get me wrong, I love the player, been saying it for years now, but his injury record is scary. We've seen what's happened with Sess when a player that young starts getting serious muscular injuries.

It'd still be a huge risk at 20-30 million. 50 is a non-starter.
Yep him and Bissouma are proper shit...Best leave them well alone. You missed the boat on Locadia...could of had him for Nought!
 
I like Lamptey but if the cost is 50/60m that is an easy no. Even without his injury concerns I would say no to that amount but with the injury concerns there is no way you can pay that for him.
