It seems to be an FSG strategy more than affect of the pandemic. They did the same with the US franchise. Once they win, they tend to tail off spending and invest in structure. Maybe to sell?

Yup, that's what I thought as well. They might just go with a different approach and have him back up Yussuf Poulsen. Having Poulsen as the lone target man with Olmo and Nkunku working off of him can work, too.
I don’t really understand why Liverpool wouldn’t be able to spend that kind of money though.
You need some sort of intelligence to form an opinion of what you see, hear, and read. Something you are quite incapable of.
Christ, let Arsenal have him. No need for a bidding war if anyone has seen him trying to tackle (important for a central defender, like heading). Awkward as hell.
Who dis? No blue tick?
Huh, are Villa backtracking now knowing Ed won't be stupid enough to pay 80 million, or there is no ensuing bidding war? Would love to see Grealish at United, but hell not for 80 million.
Fabrizio Romano’s mate. He’s legit.
It's confirmed now!
After all that Silva's father mentioned and all the work Lazio did to get him...oh boy.

I always trusted the guy
Yeah it is starting to sound like that figure hasn't come from the club after all as many media outlets were initially reporting
Why would Sociedad need to contact him “secretly”? Silva’s contract ran out, didn’t it? Or does he mean it in a “this is why I didn’t get the exclusive beforehand” kind of way?
Quality odegaard replacement!
Not forgetting the new deal for Aubameyang as well
Wonder how large scale these changes will be... I’m asking for a middle eastern friend who wants Messi in his team now that FFP is proved worthless...
I’d love to see Messi in the PL and if that means going to City, so be it. Could mean less titles for Liverpool.
Other than him, if Barca are having a fire sale this summer, who would you take you if we didn’t have to give them massive wages to convince them and they don’t include a human that should forced to wear a cone around their neck.
Despite the age will throw in Alba as a suggestion and if we can't get Sancho then would definitely look at a loan deal for Dembele as well
There were a bunch of rumours about Bartomeu letting go of Abidal as part of the changes in the club. According to COPE, however, Bartomeu will keep Abidal in the club.
Translation:
Basically, Bartomeu trusts his ability to assess players and whether they can fit into the club with the hopes of avoiding potential misfits like Griezmann.

Ideal for the wide ranging restructuring of the first team
It's gone mad quiet around us. I'm starting to have a really bad feeling about this summer.
I’d rather not tbh. Doubt any of them would have their heart here. We need to continue rebuilding the culture of this club, and that is not done by getting players simply because they are not wanted at their current club. If that was not a factor though, i’d easily find room for Frenkie de Jong. Maybe consider Ter Stegen. Don’t feel i know enough of their defenders to warrant wanting any. Messi is ofcourse a given, no discussion. Griezmann and gag-ball are no-go’s.
Yeah, there's still a lot of time and transfers aren't always straightforward but I'm getting the feeling this will be similar to our 2018 summer window where we signed Fred and Dalot to build on a 2nd place finish.
Does have a bit of the Mourinho summer 2018 feel about it (complete with a defeat to Sevilla).
Having said that, it is still early in the window.
Yeah that would be a proper kick in the balls for Ole if he ends up getting the same pathetic backing in this window that Jose got in summer 2018
Silva offered himself to Valencia and they turned him down. Damn, they're a mess.
It was always likely to happen. Having a terrible transfer window is par for the course really.
If that happens, it will be proof positive that CL qualification is the extend of our ambitions at boardroom level. I am extremely worried that we will not strengthen.
High time
I cant argue with Mata leaving but I would find it bizarre he finds the exit before Lingard and Pereira
Nothing to do with not getting an exclusive, not everything you see online is a lie
Sociedad just contacted him & nothing got leaked or briefed to the media.
Happens all the time in transfers, United will look at more players that what’s said in the media and more clubs will come in for United’s players without it leaking to the media
“secret” is just a way of making it sound sexier when all they did is contact him
