Was out in the middle of nowhere camping last night when I posted this, hence why it was brief! Ha. Bit more info as I didn't really elaborate. Basically, I don't pretend to be an ITK as many on here will know, but I do hear some very reliable stuff occasionally so I share it in good faith :)
Someone I trust implicitly passed this on to me last night. Coincidentally, that was the second person who hold told me it was done. I met someone 'in the game' at an academy match once a while back who I keep in touch with who has fed me stuff about other transfer before that's been 100% accurate, so I have no reason not to believe them. The former person who told me said it was so far advanced that an announcement might have even happened last night. From a personal perspective given my video stuff I was like 'ffs! The timing' ha.
Guess it didn't, thankfully on a personal note, but I have no reason to doubt anything has changed. Not heard any updates today, and I have seen the contrasting reports, but I still trust the people who told me. I do know Otamendi is all ready to go too btw. Club ready to announce that etc. I can only presume its just a matter of time now. If it doesn't happen, don't shoot the messenger. Things can change in a heartbeat of course, but I've been told it is literally done by two people now. Only passing this on in good faith once again!
what's made you come around, you were pretty negative about the news, i appreciate football is about emotions, but this transfer couldn't of receive such a reaction if we had signed Phil jonesI guess i've come around. Would prefer koulibaly or Kounde but I think he can surprise
Seems to be very strong and tall with good passing and a great commander, would probably complement laporte well.
I would love Telles because I think that would make our defense REALLY good.

Reminds me of Kompany. Dare I say?
Not sure that would be tax effective, although it might benefit FFP, depending on circumstances.This maybe the reason, we maybe closing this deal.... Otamendi sold for 20m euros in the books
€20m straight into the books for Nico Otamendi would be a big, big reason why they eventually went for Dias if it happens.
The underlying thing is that Dias is not slow and I'm not sure why there's this myth that he is
really ?- i see nothing there that reminds me of Kompany at all - looks ok but nothing at that level
