Why not just say nothing as changed.
Romano gave them the manual.
The later we go, the more reluctant Barca will be to sell. Bear in mind they’re trying to replace him with Bernardo Silva, one of the absolute best players for the Premier League winners. As we move through the window, the less likely both events are to happen.
I don’t think this is going to happen unfortunately.

Worrying how many people still don't understand that the midfield affects the team's ability to defend. We conceded 57 goals last season. That's 4 more than Burnley who were relegated. Yes we need a dm
This comes from an anonymous source, psudonym Mon Jurtough.
Let's see if he's actually capable of signing anyone before fawning over him.
At Ajax he's always played a dm. First Schone, and then Alvarez. They're very important to his team.
annnnd here we go.
I don’t think Jackson alone is that reliable - only when he teams up with Romano who is saying he hasn’t rejected us. I think we need to get rid of players before signing a RB and CB.
And the more players you have in your team who can’t actually play football and are there for their defensive abilities, the more you end up defending.
No way we only have 3 first team level centre backs. We must get someone in, even if it's a veteran or a young prospect as backup as a minimum.
It literally says we’ll make a signing if we can sell Jones Bailly and or Tuanzebe
Not really surprising though. Hopefully he'll sign in January or next summer.
Schone was never a DM and I think Frenkie was already gone when Alvarez came

Hopefully this is his own info, but this reads more like him sharing what Jamie Jackson reported earlier today.
Never thought a centre back was a priority this window. CDM, CM, RW, FWD, RB were all more pressing needs.
Hopefully we get a different CB then as Varane's fitness isn't reliable and Maguire and Lindelof together is the drizzling shits, just the thought of Maguire starting in general is disheartening.
This makes sense. There's no way we could guarantee Timber he's a starter. He'd have to beat out two of Maguire, Varane and Lindelof. Sure he's confident in himself but risky thing to do in a WC year. Seems he doesn't want to play RB.
Also, we can't fully commit to signing a defender with 6 CBs in the squad and needing to oust 2-3 of them.
Varane is injury prone and Maguire can't play a high line to save his life, we've got 23 matches in 15 weeks before the World Cup.
Real Madrid have won 5 European cups in the last decade without one. Definitely not needed if you have the right quality.
Schobe definitely wouldn’t be held up as a classical DM. Alvarez absolutely. One of Ten Hag’s strength seems to be his adaptability.
We won’t recreate Ajax’s system he will create a tailor made one for us.
I fancy we might return for him next summer.
Casemiro must be a striker.
Casemiro has played a lot of games in that time frame. Isn't he a DM?
Buy him and loan him back for a year then. If he has a good season, he'll be twice as much next summer.
Then What is Casimiro if he isn't a DM , though you may get away without playing dedicated DM but you certainly need somebody who is comfortable enough to play just in front of the defense and initiate play from there .
Hoping for this. Would really like Timber but not a bad idea to get more ready to go players now than a young talent.
Can't afford it can we, limited budget and many spots to fill.
Have to respect Timber prioritising playing time.
Schone nearly always stayed deep to help the team defensively. FDJ dropped into the back 3 because he was so good at receiving and progressing the ball but his ball winning and tackling were never a big asset of his (he was still ok at it mind you). VDB was the one who pushed forward the most. Alvarez was another example of a player being tasked with staying deeper to show that this type player is definitely used by ETH (at least at Ajax, I'm not as aware of his Utecht team's roles).
Nailed on January signing imo
Ya tbf maybe a deep lying playmaker would be more accurate for Schone but the point is he tended to stay deep rather than pushing forward the way VDB and Gravenberch did. FDJ was the dm really but not for his defensive ability in the way Alvarez was. I think ETH said in an interview that this was specifically to help FDJ who wasn't particularly great defensively but was incredible at receiving and progressing the ball up the pitch. FDJ would regularly drop into the defence in this system (which I imagine we will see at Utd too considering how poor our defence is). I just worry that his partner won't be able to compliment him. Fred can win possession back really well but has poor positioning and is quite limited on the ball. McTominay has better positioning but can be quite inconsistent in his tackling and pressing and is again extremely limited on the ball. Both are absolutely terrible at receiving the ball which is why I think FDJ would make a huge difference.
