We need to at least be in the discussion surely, we can't let players like this go without at least a fight
I'd seriously question his mentality if he goes there.
Ed - "Challenge accepted"
Jesus christ. We can't offer that money? Fred almost makes that amount of money. Raiola is his agent. He can't throw us another bone?

Same here.
Raiola isn't de Jong's agent, he's de Ligts or he works with de Ligts agent.
Thanks for the correction. I was mistaken due to Raiola being De Ligt's agent and De Jong always being included in De Ligt's transfer articles/rumors.
He's already getting the excuse ready for when they get knocked out of the CL (hopefully by us)
Progressive Mourinho, he went to war with the board at Dortmund and thrown them under the bus, i expect him to repeat again at PSG if he doesn't get what he wants.
We should get someone to strengthen us this january. We can't let the season go by like that.
A CB and/or an RW would do wonders for us. the TOP 4 race is wide open, we can still go for the FA cup and the champions league. There is no reason to abandon the cups this year.

Here we go again, 'we never overpay for players' stance when they outspend every club in the transfer window every summer. I can't wait until they need to replace David Silva and Aguero, lets see how cheap a world class striker and attacking midfielder will cost you.
Watch out for this lad, he is pure class.
I knew I recognised him. He won player of the tournament at this years Toulon Tournament.
There is a big difference between overpaying and outspending, though. I actually think they usually do shrewd business, and rarely overpay. What we payed for Fred, is overpaying.
Unlike what they paid for Stones Danilo and Mangala...
Stones is class, and probably worth a lot more now than what they payed for him. Danilo hasn't worked out as planned, but wasn't overly expensive in todays market anyway. Mangala was a flop, I'll give you that.
But look at us, and basically everyone else, and you'll find the same thing, only that we pay even more for our flops. I hate City, their disgusting ownership, and everything they stand for, but they're very, very good regarding transfers and squad building.
Compare the record signings for both clubs, and tell me again who's overpaying.
That Diego Lainez kid is very short. He'll have trouble adapting to pro levels in Europe.

Both clubs.... Mahrez is another
Mahrez has been quite good, though. He plays regularly, and has a very decent output in terms of goals and assists imo. He has a goal or assist every 100 minutes this season, which is almost a point per game. I reckon we would (and should) pay a lot for a right winger with stats like that.
Two of those on our list aren't even in this decade. City have overpaid just as much as us. You can include Mendy in that, who has mainly just been injured and allegedly, spending most of his time in Manchester hotels with some questionable women.Stones is class, and probably worth a lot more now than what they payed for him.

Why would de Jong bizzarely want to join PSG? Does he have some sort of dream to play with Neymar and Mbappe or something? Or is it the money? He might as well stay at Ajax
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
City pay a lot of money for a lot of players, but then again a lot of them (most of them) work out and suit their style of play, especially since the arrival of baldy. Obviously there are hits and misses, but if you look at the last few years there have been more hits for City and more misses for us. The difference between having a competent director of football, and not have a director of football at all.
I do agree they've bought well, but it's not exactly hard when you have a bottomless pit of money and can do it all in 3 seasons. We don't buy several big names at once, we tend to do one/two a season, which means our mistakes are highlighted much more. There's no way we would have bought B. Silva, Walker, Mendy and Laporte all in one season.
They must do some sort of City style double wages or something. No other explanation to why a player that is coveted by most top clubs in the big leagues would go there.
Why do people always seem surprised that players want to join PSG.
Top team, almost guaranteed trophies, tons of money, living in one of the best cities in the world. Sounds awful!

Genoa confirms to the radio that the talks with Madrid about Piątek are real.
Madrid are looking for a forward and wants to find it before the end of the month

Could be a huge boost for the second half of the season, Piatek has 19 goals in 21 matches already in all comps.
Hazard - Piatek - Vinicius future forward line?
Not sure where that leaves Asensio, this should have been his breakout year
Simeone wants Morata and he is willing to lower his salary
Chance of stagnating career ala Veratti with no real competition apart from CL and no possibilities of moving out when desired?
Surely Asensio Will have another chance.I am not sure if they want loan + purchase option or directly a sale.
