Surely, Liverpool wouldn't have ruled themselves out if a deal could be done at that price.

Or put it another way, they weren't at all serious if they couldn't stump up Nunez money for Bellingham? Or he just didn't want to go there? Or he won't be going to Madrid after all .....

Who knows anything?

Not like you to panic mate ;)

Our deals are done, the majority of them, anyway.

City will know more than we do if Bernie is still off or staying.

So we think our deals are done. The deals include: Bellingham, Kovacic, Gvardiol and Guerreiro.

For me its obvious that Madrid are trying to bully Dortmund into accepting a lower fee and Dortmund know that they will get the money from us after the cl final. We can’t be this confident if this isn’t the scenario.

Bellingham and Gvardiol hopefully are good deals - neither proven however and therefore are always a risk - Bellingham especially might take time to adapt to Peps ways (lots do) and I just hope he has the patience and humility to learn - thats the biggest question for me along with can he adapt from playing a counter attacking style where he has a lot of space to playing against packed defences and teams who will press intensely - we know both Gundo and Bernardo and Rodri for isntance are all excellent at this.

Kovacic - Ive always liked but if he comes in its as back up player - he aint an improvement on what we have or wil be losing.
Guerriro - Never really taken much notice of him - he could be off to Bayern (but could come to us obviously as well)
at the age of 30 he maybe decent for a couple of years but thats it.

Im not sure its going to make other teams that bothered - they will look at is losing Bernardo and Gundo (if they go) and see it as a weakening of the squad

If we keep one of Bernardo or Gundo and add then that would be ideal

Think Gundo stays for 2 more years so your scenario isn’t that far fetched.

That would be a 8/10 transfer window. Take Kovacic out, and it's a 11/10.

We will need someone like Kovacic if Gundogan leaves.

Ideally, however, Gundogan and Bernardo will stay and we will sign Bellingham, Gvardiol (assuming Laporte is off) and Guerreiro or another left back/utility player.

A speedster on the wing wouldn’t go amiss either but don’t see that happening.

Completely agree with this.

I do wonder if we sign Kovacic of Gundo stays, although a extra midfielder would be nice. Unless we now decide to resign Gundo, sell Philips and then sign Kovacic.

Every single year this thread goes through the "We think our deals are done" phase around late May.

Going by this forum you'd assume our board are the most incompetent men in football, constantly thinking deals are done for players we never sign. In reality these are - at most - players we're interested in. If the deal was done we'd have them on the website holding a shirt, until then nothing is certain.

The board would be incompetent if they are aren’t constantly looking forward. Football these days amazes me, when I was younger it was called tapping up but now everyone talks to players before clubs to gauge interest. I’m sure deals are done long before they are announced.

Correct. I think it’s naive to think we haven’t identified and sounded out potential targets long ago. We might not know who they are yet but they certainly will.
 
According to daily mail Chelsea want 35 million for Kovacic and 75 million for mount
