To be fair these rumours are all based on a few tweets on x. Chances are they are incorrect.

Alan varela is an interesting shout. Porto just got a lot for Evanilson though. Not sure they need to sell for any less than his 60m clause, though.
Wonder if Nunes would fancy a move to Porto?

Blowing all our transfer funds on legal fees probably.
We need to relax with the whole poor planning notion, I’m sure our execs want even more success, but buying for buying sake can’t work. Lots of clubs are struggling to get their desired targets. We can obviously do better but the margin for error is even less with a backup for Rodri given what happened with Phillips and Nunes. We’re still going to challenge for every trophy off sheer squad strength.
Everyone is happy given success of the past two seasons but now one transfer window means it is a disaster and we’re falling behind the power curve? Let’s all chill. There are several areas to address over coming windows and we’ll see what happens. Not everything needs to be reactionary because Bobb went down or KDB went down last summer. We could have depth in every single position and still fail to achieve targets. Just how I feel though.
Rather get someone upper echelon than just another name. I like the idea of an Eze for example but I think we can aim much much higher, same with any attacking or defensive solutions on the market. Let’s just try and see what we can do. Personally not arsed about how much we win this season, as long as the rebuild comes along nicely and Pep extends everything will sort itself out. The club have given us everything they possibly could have past two years.

Probably better to plan our transfers around the transfer window thoughi find it a bit weird that we're all of a sudden going in for 2 players, on the 15th august, eve of the new season.
Poor planning imo.

We'll recoup that back when we're found not guilty.Blowing all our transfer funds on legal fees probably.
And some, a not guilty verdict hopefully will be followed by our own legal action.We'll recoup that back when we're found not guilty.

Get Wilfred Zaha on a free, or a loan fee, as the Turk's are letting him go.
I think Pep would get a fantastic tune out of him - just iron out the whingebag/diving bit and there's a hell of a player there.
And, it'd piss off the scum.

We still have the same 2 problems as we've had since we signed Rodders - and loads are making the points.Pep wouldnt be happy with that imo mate and Rodri defo wouldnt! lol
1) the incoming player knows he's not playing in the bigger games - tends to put off the quality we're looking for
2) there just isn't a like for like player - we've been blessed to have him.
I guess, as others have said, we're looking for someone who can compliment Kovacic when we need to rest Rodri (or God forbid he picks up a serious injury)
Edit: Rodders has made his own issues by being too good ;D
