So are we just spending all our budget on CBs then? 
Getting at least 2 makes sense. This one came out of nowhere. I reckon it’s this guy and De Ligt then. Even though we’re still pushing for Branthwaite
Getting at least 2 makes sense. This one came out of nowhere. I reckon it’s this guy and De Ligt then. Even though we’re still pushing for BranthwaiteWe’d be 2nd. Only Madrid can match us.
See if INEOS can sell him the 'project'
Of course they can afford him. They don't want to pay market value as the players preference is to go to Madrid.
We've now screwed Madrids strategy. Pay up and match Utd offer or potentially lose the player to Utd.
So are we just spending all our budget on CBs then?
I wouldn't be surprised if we're trying to force Everton to lower their demands by showing them the acceptable/going rate of CBs in Europe right now. No way should Branthwaite cost more the both De Ligt and Yoro.

We need CB's. Varane is gone and one injury to Martinez and we're looking at a Maguire and Evans partnership.
Don't think we're after 3 CBs think we're after 2 with one being De Ligt basically done. We've probably just moved on from Branthwaite because of the price tag. I think he's got 2 years on his contract as well, if they don't want to take 50 mill then we should rightly move on.
Can’t see us bidding without the possibility of someone in his camp giving us the heads up. Will be rather humiliating at this point if we have a bid accepted and he then wait a year to go for free to Real?
“He might nog know of Cantona” as if it would influence his decision
Some people, man.I wouldn't start to get hopeful just yet
Who is Ben?
I take it you missed out on the Summer of Frenkie.
no one does speculative offer bids .
Peter's uncle
My thinking as well. As much as I'd like an up and coming English CB Everton can get fecked asking for 70m.
Yep, thought it get a reply like this.
This is bit odd, why did we even bid without getting anything from player.
If player wants only Madrid then fair enough, just move on. Plenty of talented players will be available, just have to look beyond the obvious.

Madrid playing the pauper game as usual. Come home to where you belong Yoro.
You have to try for the best talent even if you get turned down. No harm if we lose out.
I get the feeling this is being used to get Everton to come down on their Branthwaite valuation, and Yoro has actually agreed to Real Madrid.
Otherwise I’ll be happily surprised.

Boo.
But players do follow idols and those who are known as legends from their nation. Cantona wasn’t regarded as a legend in France, and his time was also the 90’s. Yoro may or may not know of Cantona, but even if he does, I doubt he’d be as revered as those who went to Madrid these past successful years and made huge names for themselves, thus carrying the power of influence themselves.“He might nog know of Cantona” as if it would influence his decision
We have already tried. Player wants Madrid, Madrid plays this game to perfection.
I do not think Liverpool are that attractive right now, Arnie Slut is very much unproven, the wages will be lower and their team is ageing/leaving. Madrid unlikely to get a bid accepted at the level we have seen reported, just enough to unsettle the player so they can steal on a free next season.... the big ask is why would a player with his profile want to join utd after last season?
I wouldn’t believe Luckhurst if he told me today was Tuesday
We might be getting used by players agent to encourage Madrid to make a move this summer. Or players agent wants a move this summer regardless? Or player via his agent has said he would be interested though Madrid is his preference. Who knows. Ball is in Yoro's court now...
I disagree. I just don't think he knows what's going on. Considering what we need in other positions I highly doubt we'll splash 150+ mill on 3 CBs.
Ah I didn’t know he had already signed for them
Nah . Madrid fair enough. He’s not staying in the French league are Liverpool are not the same without Klopp.
We’re probably out on Branthwaite since Everton didn’t accept our bid.So are we just spending all our budget on CBs then?
but this somehow feels different. INEOS first big summer transfer window and making a statement
We won't, we'll sign one then maybe another if we sell someone. You don't just bid on one player and wait though.
I take it you missed out on us hiring a completely different footballing structure and decision makers.
I think people often underestimate how much Rapha loves the club just because we weren't good while he was here compared to Madrid where he won everything.
Madrid still favourites but there’s no chance we’ve just put a random bid in without getting the green light from the players team
If Madrid don’t match this offer I can see us getting the deal done.

He really did enjoy his time here. You could see how emotional he was after his last game at OT
We have new people in charge. Having said that i'm still skeptical too.
Legendary. Right up there with the Summer of 42 and the Summer of Sam.
