I dunno, who else was genuinely in for him? Reports of Real Madrid wanting him to wait a year and join them next summer but other than that looks like City had a free run at him. Probably to do with the wages involved.

Maybe not playing a central defender who's poor aerially in the Dutch league alongside him. Right back he'd be fine as would he be holding the midfield, I certainly do not see Timber as a central defender in the EPL unless it's part of a 3.
Oh and by the way Harry is way ahead of Varane in winning aerial duals, maybe you can post where you get that stat from?
Olise has a 35m release clause. Left footed right winger with huge potential. I was hoping we’d take a punt.
He's a good left back.
Has a mean left cross, and consistantly pulls them off with high precision.
He was a Dinamo Zagreb u19 player, watched him live a couple of time when he was a kid.
That would mean we need to sell Telles. which is perfectly fine by me.
And Shaw would have a real competition on that left back position.
Borna is much better at crossing, and is higher up the field.
Same here.
Arsenal showing more proactivity than us in the market already. Why aren't we looking at Tielemans? He'd walk into our midfield.
Anyone else not getting 'new transfer tweet' alerts?
Are we now at the stage where people are going to start moaning that other clubs (who have not signed any players yet because the transfer window is not actually open for another 3-4 weeks) are making us look silly in the transfer market? (Because their made up transfer stories are better than our made up stories)
I think people need to accept that this summer we are unlikely to attract the very biggest names and also the biggest young talents. We are in need of 5-6 players on a budget where the average price needs to be about 35 million per player. Essentially we are hanging our fortunes on Ten Hag being a top coach and that we can find at least 3-4 players who will make a big difference to our intensity and our technical level. This is going to be all about coaching and smart recruitment, not signing the likes of Haaland or the French midfield lad at Monaco who is wanted by 3-4 clubs in the CL.

I have been saying this too. When we lack creativity we buy a creative player we don't imploy a systematic way of creating chances then add players who fit that system.
Harry is at 2.5 and Varane is at 2.2. That it not way ahead. (whoscored)
So Jesus and now Sterling. Arsenal getting back at City for Nasri, Clichy, Adebayor etc
Have you missed the never ending list of tenuous transfer links to United?!! We’re working - have some patience.
Totally agree. Should be a no brainer for us
Lego Pep turning Arsenal into Citylite.
How can we do that without the "preparing for a bid" stage
Can Man Utd sign Roy Keane's son?
He's a free agent I think, that stage can be bypassed
If there's any justice in this world, he'll be the next Lukaku.
He's a free agent I think, that stage can be bypassed
He is not a free agent unfortunately.
oooh yyyeeeeeeeeees.
I'm sure we are at the "Monitoring" stage.
Ah, 1 year left. We should still be all over it.
it's May and our new manager is still mananging another club. Going to take time this summer I would imagine
Am I imagining it, or was this guy heavily linked to Barcelona a few weeks back?
Yeah, his latest rumor thread on transfermarkt.de is about Barcelona.
The inactivity of this club is shocking. Do the bastards who run our club will only work on our signings after ETH sits his ass on his Carrington's office?
Not to mention a new LB playing RB
Sorry but how do you know that they are inactive? Because there’s no headlines?
