It's Quiet - a new dawn

No idea on Sandro, however, if the walker signing is to be believed, then getting fab means 2 players for 3 positions in a system pep endorses..

At a guess, as @Akira states above, I'd say the other is Mendy, I just don't think we'll allow ourselves to get burnt on Mbappe, unless he gives a clear indication he'll come!

I've got it on excellent authority that we are currently not going to pursue Mbappe. At least that's what Monaco and Mbappe's family believe. Interest is there but defo not at this summer's prices.

So far it's being reported that Walker is done/close, as is Semedo.

We're definitely going for Sandro according to journo's we know get briefed by the club, but the ITK's say Mendy.


Is this just a case of us making 100% we don't get left up shit creek without a paddle if one of those moves breaks down at some point?

It will be very interesting to see if Mbappé signs a new contract this year or if he'll go into next summer with just 12 months left on his deal and go for a much reduced price.

Thought so, like anything, timing is everything... I also think we have the better player long term in baby J anyway..

Booooo. ;-)

That said Fabinho is a much higher priority for us when you look at the squad and says we have Sanchez already in the bag as well.

What if it's both?

What if it's both?

Getting Sandro, Mendy, Walker and Semedo?

Seems like overkill, near enough £200m on fullbacks and 2 of them would be unhappy at any one point.

I think we can offer someone like Semedo more than United....but I don't think we can offer it if Kyle Walker signed the week before and Semedo realises he won't be definite first choice.

Same with Mendy.

Not sure there is a chance on earth we will spend 40M on Walker, 35M on Mendy and 50M on Sandro, with the potential of 40M on Semedo too
Then again.. ain't my cash..

Way to kill the mood :P

Not that I'm surprised in the slightest, but, again, would the game change if Kun moved on in the summer?

I think it's possible the club don't want to get burned like last summer, where we threw all our eggs into Laporte, Bonucci and Sandro's baskets and ultimately came out with nothing. I think it possibly spooked them a bit.

That said, it's also true that we need squad cover for most (if not all) of the starting XI positions too.

Don't think it makes sense for any party for him to move this summer, especially with a world cup coming up. I'd expect Sergio to do one more season so next summer suits us better.
