He’s going to look really silly, and upset an awful lot of Yorkies if that is the case……

Nagelsmann can get fecked, leave us alone with your Leipzig scrubs. Go back if you so dearly miss them.
I take it you don’t rate Laimer?
No way he plays in championship though...
He'll end up at Villa who have also been linked with him.
Watkins and Mings have featured for England whilst at Villa, so he'll still get some look in if he performs.
Honestly didn’t realise it was a pun! I get it now
Now I want to know what it was
I have no particular opinion of Laimer other than I don't want Bayern to buy a third Leipzig player on top of the manager. Or, if one, then Nkunku. Not Laimer.
We lost players like Thiago and now we buy Sabitzer and Laimer. feck that shit.
You may be in luck. Mintzlaff doesn't want to sell Laimer.
Right? If Nagelsmann's whole idea to bolster our squad and fix our form is mOaR LeiPzIG pLaYeRs, next season will be a long, long one.
Good if we are as interested as made out. Very good player, but not surprised some other clubs are baulking at the price as not sure I put him in the superstar game changer type catergory and most importantly he may improve us in AM LW and RW and be a back ups striker, so the versatility is really good, but this isnt two seasons ago when we should have signed Grealish, this is a summer when we need a lb, rb, cb, dm, cm , rw, cf mor ethan an AM or LW which I think are his best positions, £60m+ from £200m on positions lower down our priorities doesnt make sense to me

Reminder: his contract expires in June.
I love how these statements always include words like private yet they're posted on social media platforms by every Tom, Dick and Harry.
And Steve
Yeah, he's out of contract, so he obviously won't.
SAF could wait to tell the Sunday People all about it.
Are kicker in Germany reporting the below info about Borna Sosa who is a 24 year old LB? If true, then he's a interesting player with good passing abilities and a mean cross.
For the "here we go."
Purely looking at his fbref profile, looks like he isn't asked to do any defending and is probably a wing back more than anything. But definitely very involved going forward and on the ball otherwise he wouldn't have those numbers.
He is utilised as a wingback, but he's very good on the ball and from what I've seen of him, he has the attributes to transition into a fullback as well. Would be a potentially very good signing for a coach like ten Hag who aims to play in the opponent's half in a high defensive line. Stuttgart need to win their last game to have any chance of avoiding relegation and Sosa is someone that would be a potentially very good signing for a very reasonable price if Stuttgart are relegated.
I really can't visualise how with the defenders and goalkeeper we have Ten Hag can possibly play a high defensive line. De Gea struggles to get out of his 6-yard box and with the pace of our present defenders, it would be a massive risk to play his preferred system until a massive change to the playing staff is implemented.
If we sign Timber I think it could work. If De Gea stays back, even after being told by Ten Hag then he can put Henderson in goal.
Sosa - Timber - Varane - Shaw should be able to perform in a high line.
It will never work if Maguire or Lindelöf are our CB pairing though.
Well he could attempt to play the more proactive Henderson for a start. It's actually not difficult to play in the opponent's half, if one has the vision and know-how on how to implement the approach in question. And then if we factor in at least 4 new signings that come straight into the team, then it's not difficult to get the ball rolling as far as maintaining a high defensive line imo, especially against the so called lesser sides. But it's extremely important to target the correct profile of player both with and without the ball. So attributes of said players are important to take into consideration when selecting targets for their potential suitability for the play style in question. And if we have a £150m to spend, then I don't see why we can't bring in at least 4 players that fit the aforementioned way of playing the game.
Who's going to deal with high balls into the box? Dave doesn't do crosses and none of those defenders excel in the air.
Varane is quite good in the air. We if Dave turns out to be a issue I am sure Ten Hag can see that after maybe even one match and we can simply put in Henderson.
Quite good won't cut it to be honest if the other 3 aren't good in the air. Teams target weaknesses, it'd be very apparent with the line up you proposed.
Bad news for Liverpool.
Is this the first big transfer saga city have won?
A Bundesliga player, from a relegation candidate at that? The Caf will be delighted!
The Ten Hag interest hasn't been reported so far, not even a thread on transfermarkt.de.
Maguire's aerial stats this season are only marginally better than Varanes so what is your solution? Buying two new CB's?
Fraudiola collecting more Pokemon. What a genius manager.

Exactly the kind of signings we should make. Going out and spending 80mil on players who are British hasn’t worked out. Hopefully he’s a manager capable of looking at a player and seeing potential and the ability to work in a system.
We can hope.
