De Bruyne?

[Silva_Spell]

Have we been linked with Verratti?

Not for a while but there were reports that he wanted to leave PSG recently.

He's just an example of a top deep lying cm

I heard they were just waiting for the invoices to clear.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

Another slant we have to place on this policy is that the squad return for pre-season training next week. Now don't forget that our Argentinians are still playing for their national team and will still have to go on their holidays, unlike everyone else who will have rested and refreshed. It is IMPERATIVE that any new signing is ready to undergo their first day of training for both fitness and team bonding reasons as our Argentinians may well be lacking full match fitness by the start of the season. The Chelsea game alone should give our executives the push that is needed if they really believe we should be mopping up the major trophies.

Have I got this wrong but given we have I believe our full quota of foreign players don't we have to sell before the likes of Dr Bruyne or anyone else can join?

No as the squads don't get submitted til September

But let's say we don't sell the likes of dzeko and nasri and we can't force them out as there under contract so we either buy them out or we just don't registry them but keep paying wages but either way that's a huge outlay combined with the wages and transfer fees of any new signings so maybe the club are still cautious of financial fair play and don't want to be seen to be taking the piss the minute the ties are offf

That's a huge sentence.

Calm down big guy, first of all we would never get stuck like that. Second, if we did there are surely other foreign players that We could move. Absolute worse case we can drop someone who is not a valuable part of our team say idk Sagna?

Oh believe me I am calm simply a question. Personally whether we sign or don't sign our targets nothing posted on here will change that so I'm happy to sit back leave it to the guys in charge and what will be will be.
If come 1st August we ain't signed anyone then a bit of flapping is warranted . If come the 1st September we ain't signed anyone that this will become flapcentral

 

[p.taker]

It's a fair question. You don't want clubs taking the piss knowing that you have to get rid of a player. Makes the Negredo move to Valencia all the more amazing.
