l'equipe a running a Badiashile story today but not any of their top sources so nothing in it
We have probably offered slightly higher wages but is holding out for Liverpool and we are probably backup just in case.
We're favorites to sign him according to SkyBet
Not sure that means much but still

If he really wants a challenge he's better off coming here
It is the hope that kills.
Good, enough!
They would cost half the transfer fee of Sancho and fills a lot of blanks.
Then we should walk away.
Fab still saying Liverpool feel like they are favourites but thinks they are holding out for a lower fee
Doubt we are getting any of them.
If this is really the case I hope we can be ruthless and catch Liverpool asleep at the wheel. These are the types of moves we need to make to get back to the top.
He’s probably offering to pay Liverpool for the honour of playing for them.
That is what I want to believe as well but going to keep telling myself they aren't doing a Werner this time
Well tbh mate it depends how you want to look at it. We did this exact same thing with Di Maria! Signed man of the match CL winner and gazumped PSG to him. The player wanted PSG, but wouldn't/couldn't (FFP) pay and we got him. So do we really want a player who doesn't want us as his first choice?
Clearly Bayern don't have the upper hand here and are resorting to last minute emotional blackmail to make Alaba and Thiago look like money grabbing cnuts.
Nice to see this happen once in a while to that lot.
Definitely not but at this point do we know his preference?
Well we can only go off what has been reported and we tend to believe what Fab says, so I suppose you can't believe his other shit if you won't believe anything negative from him.
Yeah he has said nothing on either of us
People clearly buying into Romano's words with his odds to Liverpool coming in again
Comes here can socialise with Dave, Romero, Mata. Also socialise with the City latin lads, Aguero etc.
The dream is on.
The dream is on.
Don't forget Bruno who could probably converse with them as well
Bayern could atleast try to be half subtle when they are using us to drive up the price for Liverpool
Uli is clearly dropping Utd's name in there to pressurise Liverpool. Thiago and Liverpool only have eyes for each other and had an agreement in place for a while.
Utd are likely to have inquired but told Thiago's preference is Pool. Utd pressed ahead with Van de Beek signing once realising Grealish fee is 80m. Can't see them signing another midfielder.
Fab the transfer guru is expertly summarising the situation without saying too much but clearly has no inside knowledge apart from what clubs/agents want the the media to know and use to their advantage.
Still can't see anything beyond him going to Pool late in the window. The second most likely option is he waits a year to go to Pool.

Exactly. It is meant to be....
It seems Liverpool are not going to go ahead with Thiago
I'd feel pretty annoyed if I was a scouser right now tbh. You have an elite midfielder who wants to join them and is valued at just £30million, which in today's insane market is a steal even post-covid, and yet they'd rather penny pinch instead.
If this was United this is exactly what we'd do as well. If we knew a player wanted to join us, we'd stretch it out and release stories saying we're walking away. Would not be surprised if he signs for the scousers within the next couple of weeks.
Bayern won't want to lose him for free so it's a game of cat and mouse.
I feel it'd be pretty easy to sub in our team into the placeholders there, mate. We've let quite a few deals pass us by while seemingly penny pinching.
Not that I disagree with you though...
I’m curious to see which players you’re talking about? Can you name any world class players that have pretty openly stated they’d like to come to us yet we’ve not signed them to save money.
They must have won a lot of money with the CL and PL so why are they penny pinching? If I recall correctly, they did not even spend in the last transfer window so that's a sizeable fund to tap into. They definitely could sign Werner if they wanted and Thiago of course but seems like their situation is similar to us under SAF. Their owners think Klopp is their SAF so he could turn any average players into world-class and it doesn't matter.
Stand to be corrected, but I think we got caught out while haggling for Hazard back in the day?
Not sure if Haaland was just press gossip too?
Article is taking a big leap there. Agent says player will be staying until Jan and that is somehow linked to Thiago?
I mean, I would be cool with keeping him.
What shirt number will he wear for us?
That requires outgoings. Something that we don't do here.Might take 8
