He's been on our bench twice this season. But he is quite a poor keeper.
I thought he was decent at Mansfield?
If I were in charge of Arsenal, I would take him for that amount. They are guaranteed C.L-football, and they will basically be buying a chance at winning the league. They are so paper-thin up top, 1-2 injuries and they are in serious problems. With Felix, they should be safe.
Half the fee and I think United should be all over it but that's a liberty if they get that
Really crap sensible transfers from them this time. Basically suggested two forwards that we'd never be able to afford currently (Osi and Abraham) and a CM who just signed a new deal to 2027. Also, weird interpretation of the stats to suit their narrative on Abraham - he's getting into good positions, but having a run of bad form. Could also just mean he's profligate.
Throughout the analysis and suggestion of Abraham, I kept shaking my head. Abraham has not been consistent throughout his career. He is not going to all of a sudden turn into a Haaland. As you said, Osimhen is unattainable especially mid-season. Napoli are leading Serie A. De Laurentiis is never going to sell him in the mid season window.
Thuram though is a good suggestion imo, he's someone I believe is worth taking a punt on, if its around the 20m-25m mark.
Agree on everything, Thuram was the only decent one. Usually they're much better than that, so was a disappointing watch.
Out of contract in july, so we could get him on a free then. If the club was interested.
I read that Vlahovic would like a move here also. He or Thuram would be perfect now. Martial is a shit CF . Not one shot on goal against Wolves.
I think we're going to see a lot more players fancying a move to United over the next few years. If EtH keeps on his current trajectory and is backed by new owners we will be serious title contenders next season. Wouldn't that be lovely eh?
I thought the price for Thuram was said to be around €12-13m. As others have said he’s out of contract in June. Gladbach sold Zakaria for something like €6m last Jan with the his contract expiring.
Can't say I'm too bothered about this. He looked an accident waiting to happen in the cup game.
Tier 1:
Note that this is only the case for January. Things can change in the summer, but for now, the club isn't necessarily pushing out Félix. Much of that noise is coming from Jorge Mendes's end.

Unfortunately, we're competing against Bayern Munich for his signing (Tier 2).

Translation:
- Kolo Muani would prefer to stay in the Bundesliga for now.
- Frankfurt also prefer to keep him until the end of the season.
- Bayern Munich don't necessarily have an offer readied up like United, but they prefer a summer transfer.
Thanks to @Rolaholic in the João Félix thread:

Tier 2:
Summarised translation:
Basically, United are hoping that Benfica don't accept any of Chelsea's offers this month. They'll wait until the summer before making an offer to Benfica. Enzo, however, is happy enough with moving to Chelsea in January and has even missed a couple of Benfica's training sessions according to Record.
For those wondering by Bruno Andrade used the word "clause" instead of referring to the €127m amount, I think Chelsea are offering the remaining €7m to cover the fees to Jorge Mendes.

This may explain why Record have reported Enzo missing the last two training sessions.

Hang on Benfica think they're going to get the region of 120m upfront? Gas bastards
We’ve monopolised the market on attackers called Anthony, we might as well stockpile a few Marcus’s too!
La Repubblica are unreliable. I wouldn't put much stock into this. BILD, which is slightly more reliable, have also been incredibly speculative about Thuram's future. I don't think there's anything to this until someone more reliable reports on it.
There's a reason no other popular United aggregator's Tweeting about this. mufcmpb is incredibly speculative and loves to engage in fake news from time to time, which is why they're banned on the Caf.
Tier 1:
- The €127m fee will be paid in 3 installments (approx. €40m each).
- Benfica are closing in on Carloz Alcaraz (recently linked to Wolves) for 16-17 million Euros.
fecking sacrilege we didnt go for this guy last summer at £20M.
Even fecking Howson was raving about him.
Chelsea spending a lot of money only to finish ninth and sack Potter.
If ETH actually doesn't trust him enough at this stage to compete with Antony, then it's the right choice. With the issues Jadon Sancho's been having, and Elanga's limited skillset (and the Everton interest, through which we might even be able to cover our striker loan/ Thuram purchase), I think this might be one of ETH's rare miscalculations, along with not blooding Zidane for 15 mins or so in competitive games which we're winning by a couple ( i.e. Forest).
Antony doesn't need to be flash every game, but he needs to be more incisive in terms of attacking full backs and getting better percentage crossing positions/crosses or on the diagonal cutting in to play the quick one-twos, and Diallo could now be in a position to put pressure on him.
Yeah needs some reliable sources on this
Still speculation at this point but if I had to choose i'd prefer for us to push the boat out and sign Kolo Muani. Much more to him from a skill and physicality standpoint than Thuram.
We aren't paying £50 odd million now
Maybe his team are open to a more structured payment while Liverpool offered PSV more up front for Gakpo. Total fee is only part of costing out the transfer.
Chelsea spending mental money. After their summer spree, they’ve since added Badiashile for 33m, Nkunku for 57m, and now Enzo for 127m. That’s 217m more. And in the summer they signed who? Koulibaly (35m), Fofana (80m), Sterling (55m), Cucurella (65m), Chukwuemeka (20m), Casadei (13m), Aubameyang (10m), and Solina (8m), that’s 286m. And now another 217. That’s half a billion in one season.
And they’re crap.
That’s some accomplishment.
And they’re crap.

That's a whole new team they've signed. I think you missed a second Fofana, but what's a cheap Fofana between friends.
We will lose £22 million in reduced Adidas sponsorship alone, not to mention millions in UCL payments, if we miss top 4 and Champions League, so if Felix makes the difference between top 4 and not top 4, that £16 million will be a bargain.
Need to see the context. It's not as simple as "OMG 16 million for a loan!". But unfortunately our owners also don't get it, so I reckon there is 0.05% chance for us signing Felix.
