It's Quiet - a new dawn

Well the Cubans backed down, so...

Actually it was the Russians that backed down, not the Cubans
And we all have a lot to be thankful to Vasili Arkhipov for (Google him)

You don't have to be ITK to state the obvious - we're trying to get 4 fullbacks and 1 forward/winger.

Granted. It was more the 90 mil outgoings that caught my eye. Dont think we've ever recouped that sort of amount in a window.

 

[richards30]

so nothing likely to happen in the next couple of weeks? damn gonna have to do some real work then for a change!! lol

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

I would like this move....plan B option if we miss on Walker or Mendy or maybe we just trying to help push one of those deals over the line?

Manchester City will make a proposal for Benfica right-back Nélson Semedo (23) in the coming days. [Correio da Manhã]

Barcelona also want Semedo, but have offered €30m, well below the €50m asking price. City are now the main candidates. [Correio da Manhã]

How reliable is Shane Burns?

Not sure if its my memory but he seems to be more hit than miss

IF its true, then surely mbappe is a target?

5m Alves
50m walker
25m Bertrand
50m Sanchez

£130m left over, unless Shane means £250m overall including Bernardo Silva and Ederson, in that case £60m left over

What about Mendy?

 

[forevermancity]

What about Mendy?

Aaah yes, looks like mbappe might stretch that £250m a little too much!!

Looks more like a ‘get your shit together Levy’.

I would give him a deadline of a week - if not lets move on - Walker is a 40m player at best. Not a penny more.

Yep. If we wanted Semedo, that deal would’ve been done weeks ago.

 

[richards30]

I think semedo is a cracking player to be honest and would be pretty chuffed if we had swapped targets.

 

[doobyedoobye]

So we now have the window sorted
Ederson, Bernardo, Walker, Mendy, Alves, Sanchez and Bertrand with maybe a CB (Virgil) or CM or both
But no Mbappe....

 

[Wolfkin]

Give me Semedo over Walker any day

 

[MCFCAussie]

Well I think Semedo is class, and it would probably be a great call to bring him in for half the price and drama of Walker

 

[nmc]

Can't comment because haven't seen enough of Semedo. Walker looks over priced but the market is crazy. I think we'll be reluctant to walk away - given Walker has clearly got one foot out of the door but we can't let Levy take the piss. Set a limit and a deadline and throw the ball in Levys court and let Walkers agent do the work.

Levy holds all the cards. Walker signed a contract extension not too long ago and it's a world cup year coming up so Walker isn't gonna go on strike if Levy refuses the move. We either pay whatever he asks for or we move on to another target.
