For a clean slate or hacked

Their priority was to sign a number 9 (Álvarez), but Atlético want more money than Barça can afford. Have they shifted their focus to Rodri? It wouldn't be crazy — maybe they want that Spain national team chemistry like at the World Cup (Yamal, Olmo, Fermín, F. Torres, Cubarsí, Pedri). Either...

The player’s absolute priority has always been to extend his contract at Madrid. He has no interest in joining Arsenal whatsoever. His agency, Roc Nation, leaked the info and is hyping up the rumours purely to put pressure on Florentino Pérez and secure a better deal.

Tchouaméni went from vice-captain to a bench player. He’s built for a defensive setup (Deschamps’ old tactics). The manager wanted to try an offensive approach with four attackers and two midfielders. He’s only suited for counter-attacking teams and is really limited with the ball at his feet...

Besides, in terms of profile and stats, he’s very close to Bruno. In certain areas, he’s even better. These graphs show it clearly He turns out to be a complete midfielder. When the match is stuck at 0–0 against black cats parking the bus with 10 men behind the ball, we’d be thrilled to have a...

That doesn't mean we won't be fighting for the PL title. We're rebuilding, and having unwanted players on astronomical wages is delaying that process because nobody wants to take them on. Among the best , very few teams right now have a better starting XI than their 2011–2012 version.

Despite whatever flaws Enzo might have, if there's one thing you can't take away from him, it's his winning mentality. It might sound trite, but he's already tasted ultimate victory at the 2022 World Cup. What made City's recruitment strategy so strong was signing players who already had that...

No way Viana makes that trip just for Neto and Gusto (he isn't stupid). Something's happening behind the scenes. (Rodri out / Fernandez in?). Probably wants everything settled on other exits like Reijnders too, and needs to be on the same page as Maresca before bringing anyone in

*Doku's got no competition on the left, while on the right we've already got Semenyo, McAidoo, and Savinho

Who's Doku's competition on the right? We've already got Semenyo, McAidoo, and Savinho (or Neto)

What's Minteh from Brighton like? Haven't watched him enough

Abde Ezzalzouli from Betis is way better, he could go for €60m.

Bruno is a clear upgrade for them because their midfield seriously lacks creativity. We've seen that Eze, Zubimendi, and Ødegaard are overrated—the fact that two of them were benched in the Champions League final is a massive signal from their manager, proving he doesn't trust them to win big...

You’re being very generous comparing him to Jesus Navas. I actually played FIFA 14 again recently and Navas was an 85 overall—and while games don't always tell the whole story, back then they rarely got it wrong. Navas was genuinely class and had a much higher football IQ than most wingers today.

I’d also throw Lewis into the deal to get MGW.

Let’s not make the same mistake with McAidoo that we did with Cole Palmer. Let’s give him a chance. As for Savinho, sell him even if it’s for £50m. The board is so focused on the right-wing position, even though we’d probably have 3 if Neto arrives. On the left, we only have Doku, and I’m not...

Especially with the departures of Grealish and Reijnders who are on high wages, it would make his signing much easier to fit into the financial balance

We have to accept selling him. Even though he’s only been here for a year, his limitations are plain to see, and he's clearly not suited for the Premier League. It’s no coincidence these rumours are resurfacing now—Maresca saw it for himself and didn't waste any time telling Viana we can't keep...

The right-winger market is so dead. Neto is ranked 9th on Transfermarkt (in terms of market value).

"€80m for Neto, don't you think that's absurd?"
