It's blowing up on twitter right now.

The only thing blowing up on twitter right now is Kylie and Kendells careers :lol: no mention of Fabinho anywhere that I can see and not on trends either.
 
There's nothing blowing up its one guy's likely fake news being rehashed by a load of tossers.
 
It would make to sense to sign this guy. It's been a some what disappointing summer thus far full of nonsense rumours.
 
Didn't Di Marzio confirm we made a bid.

Yeah, Bouhafsi said he was our target too. I'm sure we're interested, but whether we'll sign him is anyone's guess right now.

As per that Duncan Castles piece yesterday, it appears that both Di Marzio and Bouhafsi were fed a load of horseshit by Juve/an intermediary. Put simply, they were wrong.
 
Bouhafsi wouldn't have got his info from Juventus and unlike Di Marzio he didn't say anything about a bid. Don't know why some people are trying so hard to discredit them.
 
I already don't want next season to start after all the hope of winning the Europa League and getting into the Champions League....:(

But in fairness....not many clubs are spending money because of the stupid, crazy prices that clubs are putting on players except City who have "chequebook genius" of a manager
 
Must be fecking shit for Monaco to lose their stars, even more so if they move to a league rival.

Until I see it announced, I am not going to believe that Monaco would sell so easily to PSG. They would make them pay through the roof for him if true.

Nothings been announced yet.
 
So Fabinho not happening, Dier extremely unlikely, Matic I still doubt, Naingallom obviously gonna extend with Roma. I think it's going to be a surprise signing for us in midfield.

We are for sure going to sign someone very left field that no one will see coming. Bailly was last year, Bastian/Morgan the year before etc
 
This window has been an absolute muppet killer. :lol: Prioritising inferior, older players in Matic etc. is all fine and well if they fit the system, but they're purely stop gaps. We are going to need to look to replace them again in a year or two. What worries me more is the players we are chasing is evidence as to the style of football we're going to play, which I was hoping would be better than last season. Doesn't seem like it.

All we can do is wait and see what happens once the season starts. Jose has no more excuses, he had his settling down season, it was a good season, but anything less than a title challenge and he should be questioned.
 
Fabinho on, Fabinho off (We are not interested), Fabinho on, Fabinho off (PSG will sign him).

Fair enough. Bouhafsi may be a victim of our policy this summer of negotiating for multiple players simultaneously; seems that plenty of British journalists faithfully reported our interest in (and negotiations for) Keane, without realising we were also a long way down the road with Lindelof. One wonders if Keane himself realised it.

Very ... seeing as he's about to appear on huge billboard posters wearing our new Nike kit.

I agree with you, he isn't joining but billboards don't mean a thing these days. Easy enough to change them when a player leaves.
 
Oh feck it, let's nab Naby Keita from under the scouser's noses.. we could end up doing a lot worse the way the wind is blowing at the moment. :devil:

Keita was my preferred option before the window even opened, immense talent. Not sure he's what we need though.

We'll fail if we sign the players we're rumoured to be signing. Might sound childish and reactionary but I believe it to be true so I'm putting it out there. Would be delighted to be proven wrong but not targeting the right players this summer will be a mistake we'll look back on as easily avoidable.

I fully expect to be mocked for that but it's just how I feel. If the season doesn't go well and Mourinho has a meltdown we'll be stuck with another broken squad which will need major surgery.

I'd be okay with Herrera playing deeper. Pogba and Keita as the #8s. Leipzig want a lot of money for Keita though, so I don't think that's happening.
 
SO is this dude who tweeted this, sign pepe and Fabinho, just was hopeful well wisher?

SO who posted it to us here... he has to go! Wuming at its highest

Ye I wouldn't mind that, we'd still probably need a specialist DM in the tough games though. As you said though, Leipzig don't seem to be budging with their valuation though, so it seems a non-starter.

It doesn't matter who he is, it's the fact that PSG specifically responded to it which is telling.
 

Joey Barton's available on a free right?


What are you on about?
This

But we all know they are about to anounce Pepe. Supposedly a one year contract.
A smiley face is not an admission of anything more than that, or not, or maybe. I bit the minute i seen it and posted my displesure. So i looked for the report and there was none.

ITK or not, not much is revealed here past what we already know. Is there something else that we know, which i missed today, that they are in discussions with Fabinho or is there link also about as solid as ours.
 
Truly the world has gone mad. Aside from City who have signed a couple of players and Liverpool a player they don't need anyway, who else in European football has signed anyone of note? Haven't we signed a CB? Let's wait and see shall we rather than relying on social media....

It's only June. Often the players would all be at a World Cup/Euros etc. or just back from one now anyway.

Love the transfer saga's but the reliability of social media is a complete lottery. It's simple, just link us to every available centre forward and midfielder and eventually they'll get one right....
