Why are we not in for Alcantara?
This one is done i think, it was between us and Napoli but they need to shift Koulibaly first. Arsenal is offering just a bit more right now.
So far we've had instagram posts liked by his father, cryptic messages and his sister started following Edu's daughter. It can't get any more official than that
Don't think we can afford it if the Sancho deal comes off. He also plays in the same position as Pogba (and Fred/McTominay) and it looks like he is now staying with us for at least one more year.
He can play The Matic role as he showed against Barcelona and Chelsea.
The problem is that Ole clearly isn't looking for someone in that role this summer which is a huge mistake
Which is what people are moaning about with AWB
He can do, but I think he's better adapted to a #8 role. His midfield partner at Bayern (usually either Kimmich or Goretzka) is stronger than Pogba defensively.
Thiago in a midfield three with Pogba and Fernandes would be great on the ball, but perhaps a little weak when out of possession.
Might see them come back in for Smalling now you'd imagine.
Its clear he wants to play for Klopp, I think thats why Liverpool feel so sure about this deal and are clinching over cents.
I think there was a tweet saying they were going to pay the €20m +5m once the takeover had gone through.
Valencia was a better footballer and a right-back. Unfortunately, age and injuries got the better of him in the latter part of his United career. Williams is nowhere near ready to be regular back-up to Shaw. Rashford has been severely affected since Shaw's injury.
I would confidently say if United had comparable players to VvD, Robertson and Trent Alexander we would have a better Eleven than Liverpool. I don't even think we'd need to sign Sancho on the right. It's the weakness of AWB that is highlighting our desperation for a creative force on the right. AVB needs to learn his timing of runs and focus on positional play. However good he is at last-ditch tackles they are basically giving away throw-ins and corners in dangerous positions and gives the opposition time to regroup.

Agree with everything you've said.
I am hoping Ethan Laird can at least usurp him because honestly, AWB is not my cup of tea.
In the attacking stakes he certainly has more potential but we have no idea of what he's like defensively at the top level. His injury record is a concern as well whereas AWB has a shit load more resilience.
I'll bet as soon as Laird makes his debut it'll be praise to the rafters but as soon as he makes an error, he'll get pelters. That's what's happening to Williams right now after everyone saying he should replace Shaw
This goes against reports from France that we're out of the race and reports from Italy that we've yet to reach out to Lille for negotiations. The article itself doesn't even mention that we've submitted a bit for him.
Thiago himself wants to go to Liverpool and has already agreed personal terms. With that being the case, it'd have been tough for us to get him unless we paid a large amount of money.
Cavani was asked about his links to Benfica when he was in Montevideo:

Official: Quique Setien has been sacked.
It's official now.
So their current deeper midfield options are Winks, Sissoko, Lo Celso, and Dier. Dier is being played more as a central defender, so beyond the first 3, there's no one else who can play there. I wonder who Mourinho is planning to bring in to add more depth to the team.
EDIT: I forgot about Hojbjerg. Thanks @NYAS for the reminder.

Arsenal are on the warpath it seems. I’m not used to it.
There were some rumours circulating that Manchester City would buy back Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa, but they've been rebuffed.
Yeah, that slipped out of my mind completely.
In that case, sending Skipp out on loan's perfectly fine.
See, he's not a bad player, but I'm not sure that he'll add much to Fulham. Joe Bryan's a better player going forward, and defensively, I'm not sure if Antonee offers more than Joe does.
Some more info in the article in this Tweet around this story:
Apparently, Napoli are looking to replace him with Roma's Jordan Veretout. That's not a bad replacement, and Veretout might be more willing to work under Gattuso than Allan was.
Sorloth is one step closer to signing for Leipzig.
I still don't get why they'd get another big man to play up front. Does he play any differently to Poulsen?

We had a significant fall when Ferguson retired but at least other than Moyes each of our managerial appointments had some sense behind it. Barcelona are way worse than us is these appointments. Messi is single handedly keeping their club relevant.
Surprised it took soo long!
They have a bloody good coach that's why?
They would be absolute morons for not paying 30 mil for him. Shows how heavily effected they are by the coronavirus, first couldn't buy and now not playing 30 mil for a world class midfielder.
Coaching isn't that straightforward, unfortunately. I haven't watched Sorloth much, but from what I saw, he wasn't really much of a runner. What made Werner so dangerous was his dynamism and constant movement in the final third. His pace also made him dangerous on the break. Does Sorloth offer any of that? Not from what I know of him in the PL. Has he changed since then? I don't know.
Talksport are clueless
"We haven't held any investigation into the transfer Pepe. This is an outrage. In unrelated news we've sacked our head of football",
Reasonably quick for his size but not explosive by any means. Am still unconvinced he’ll make it there, had no standout attributes when I watched him.
