[mightymoyes]

Utd supposedly sniffing around now according to Times football supplement

I mean, I'm not claiming he's got ITK info.

He's literally quoting Lille's president though.

What's Boyland done wrong anyway? Mad how quick people are to jump on journalists.

Nothing wrong in this case B, we just want a true ITK again

He is not in anyway shape or form ITK

Think they probably will now it looks like OGS has “proved” himself.
Be interesting to see if they punt De Gea

I am not even convinced we are in for the player.
This saga has been going on for months and it seems to be all coming from the selling clubs side.
I think they are trying to promote interest in the player and they are not able to get in the fee they expected for him.
I would not be surprised if he is sold at a fee far lower than anything quoted so far.

He would fall into the category of young player with potential but a risky signing nonetheless.

The initial fee was supposedly £30mil. This has now been dropped in the media to £20-22mil.

A fee "far lower than anything quoted so far" would be as likely as you riding a unicorn to the moon.

"He would fall into the category of young player with potential but a risky signing nonetheless"

Thats a very peculiar statement to make. Militao went from Porto to Real for £43mil.

Gabriel is in the same bracket and has been strongly rumoured to be the next super centre back to push into the Brazil side.

Had a medical and all set to sign before pandemic hit, via the telegraph.

"Gabriel expected to be Ancelotti's first signing"

And do not be mistaken he will be bought for the first team immediately.

100% agree...hed be our best centre back and one of our best players.

Another Richarlison.

Jesus wept if the reason we don’t get him is cause we’re haggling down 6-8m.

Its such a pity were not in europe as with that extra carrot wed have a bit more pull. Lets hope Gabriel chooses us regardless.

Id say Ancelotti and Richarlison are our 2 keys to unlock this door.

If he is bought in then he probably starts given the size of his fee. If Carlo thinks he’s good enough then surely this is going to be the way.

But if his fee is the £22m reported, that's less than mina and keane so does that mean he doesn't start?

If not the covid, there won’t be a discount like that.

£25m for Keane a couple of seasons back was steep. Walsh overpaid for him.

Definitely, we should never have bought keane, but there we go. I don't reckon it's as low as £22m for gabriel anymore anyway, that's probably what the issue is.
