I have it too. Doesn't look like Laurie has actually bothered to reply to anything? Or am I just using it wrong?

TBF a fit Fofana is a fantastic option for us, easily my first choice CB option but doubt Leicester is ready to let him go.
Move on Christ's sake. Shit club with poor transfer moves.
I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment but that's exactly what's going to happen if we want to sign him.
Not really, they don’t have much leverage given their financial situation. If our negotiators are that shit to get held hostage by a team which is desperate for money to meet short term obligations, then that says it all really.
Maybe their leverage is merely to retain the services of a decent midfielder?
Anyway, I hope you're right, and we don't allow ourselves to be led by the nose into an auction where we're the only bidder, but previous efforts on this front have left me a bit gun shy when it comes to making statements about our competence where the market is concerned.
When he’s one of their few high value assets that has a genuine buyer, they don’t have much leverage.
I think the key difference is this time players are telling us to feck off because of the state we're in whereas last time Woodward and the club were just clueless without Fergie holding their hands.
Everybody loves a bidding war!!
No he’s not said anything yet.
I assumed he would answer them on the next podcast as they took a two week break and I think the next episode should be due this Thursday.
He’s not that guy for a bidding war.

Also, Chelsea will focus on Jules Koundé first as they find his transfer easier than Fofana's. Finally, there's no mention of United or Chelsea being "closely interested" in Fofana; they've basically rekindled their interest in the defender once he fully recovered from his injury.
EDIT: More info

I really want us to just pop up with an under the radar smart signing. All we are seeing is links with well known players for big fees who aren't convinced by the project. Would really signal a shift in our approach
Same here…problem is our scouts are/were awful.
Weren't players like, Dan James, Dalot, Bailly, even Martial, players like this?
Imo we just need to get what we can even if that means overpaying, and then let ETH show players that the project is working, rather than convince them, then next summers window will be loads easier.
Yes but good.
Ah, signing a Leicester defender for £80m…what could go wrong?

Barcelona will continue to push for a little bit more money from Manchester United even though the offer is close to what they want.
The higher the better, right
?I've only seen one report from Luis Rojo in the past year that was more speculative than I'd expect, and that was about Emerson Royal being targeted by Atletico Madrid. Whenever he's reported on Barcelona, he's mostly been in line with what other reliable journalists have reported even though he does get a little more speculative (hence his Tier 2 placement in the Caf list).
Not necessarily. It means he d be a great fit for them as established by advanced football analytics.
Liverpool don't get the best players, they get the best players for their system.
Think they re industry leaders in data science and have some top names in academia working on their models. I'd guess very few Liverpool players would play anywhere near as well in any other team.
Anyhow, personally think Nunez is too much of a gamble at the prices being quited. Reminds me of the summer we got Lukaku and Chelsea got Morata in the most uninspiring transfer race I could remember. Everyone and their dog knew both teams were massively overpaying for non top level players
That's what we thought when we bought Matic from them and they ot Bakayoko. Matic didn't pull any tress here, but Bakayoko (?) was a disaster. Hope for more of the same
So all the players Man Utd are interested in cost around 80 million.
Why the feck is everyone worth 80m?
It’s ok Rice is 150 million to balance it all out! State run clubs are hyper inflating what clubs think they can get.
Since you have made an informed decision and the news are good, i choose to believe you 100%
All on ten hag to get something out of him then. Been a loooong out of form period.
we should extend his contract by one year on lower wages!! If he performs, he stays else no risk of losing him on free
In fairness they were when we bought them. Unless you can tell the future there’s not guarantee
You actually believe this huh?
I'm sure Marcus would be rushing to agree to those terms!
Sangare is a monster and Ten Hag knows all about him. 30million euro is a bargain for him and just what we need as holding midfielder.
Now that we have our own United thread we can really reinforce that we aren't really getting up to much thus far
