Not complaining but…that sounds like all boxes ticked from a dippers POV. How hasn’t it gone through?

It was a £35m deal?
Dear god that’s cheap for him.

They probably have a deal to pick him up in January, giving palace plenty of time to get a replacement.

Hopefully we’ll have the league won by then anyway.
 
itš weird that Real Madrid are not tapping up Saliba, but are flirting with Konate

with Rudiger and Alaba contract ending in 2026 and no sniff of prolongation i think they may start tapping him up sooner

That’s why they getting konate first. They will still have Huijsen, asensio and Militao. Can’t count Alaba he’s been injured for 2 years now

depends what Alonso wants, if he wants to play with 3 CBs at the back, then another one would be essential

of course, they could slot Tchouameni there

Don’t know about Madrid but I heard somewhere the coach can not play 100% his system so basically 3 ATB is not a formation someone like Perez and the club wants to see - so idk. But yeah if that’s the case they would need 2 CB next season
 
What is Jude Bellingham of defenders? Bellingham isn’t the best player of his position what exactly are they talking about ?

I am not sure how they have identified Saliba as being the defensive version of a overrated arrogant dickhead that is only really effective when he can stat-pad "good for a midfielder" numbers while in reality playing as a underwhelming pseudo-striker, but maybe that is the same scouts that thought Arnold were worth the type of wages they gave him

Being a complete ****? Being overhyped (although Saliba is defifitenly one of the best central defenders currently playing)

Thursday gossip from the BBC

Manchester City are themselves considering a shock move for Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo, though they are likely to face competition from Newcastle and Chelsea for the 20-year-old England midfielder.

Terrible player every time I've seen him play. Absolutely no better than what we have on the bench

I think he has potential regardless what people think about him because he is playing for United. Can’t see him thriving in a 2 CM though needs to be in a 3 midfield .

There's absolutely something to this. Pep sees potential.. Not sure myself, but given the amount of people who were loving shouting 'united' when he started at the euros, I'd love to see their faces.

Also, shares a middle name with a city legend who memorably was injured by an airplane seat.
