I’m still bamboozled

I *think* it says we've offered 30m, Napoli can't match it. The Bernardeschi/Milik thing is a different transfer.

this looks like a great signing so I imagine he will go somewhere else and we will get David Luiz.

Looks pretty good from that. He's very quick footed in a tackle which is pretty unusual. The only thing that's difficult to tell is if he's any good positionally. A lot of the headers he's winning are 10-15 yards ahead of the backline. Few similar moments on the deck as well. If you misjudge too many balls like that you're in trouble. Mina goes for them quite often but he's not quick enough to pull them off sometimes. It's really fine margins with that sort of player. Personally I like a defensive combo where one covers and one attacks though. That sort of player would be ideal to pair with Holgate.

Thats why I said he reminds me of a Mina a little.

find it a bit mad we might spend 27m on a CB of all things.

Why?

We always sign players in the position of least importance

Although signing Gabriel would allow us to move Mina on and I could get the logic of that due to his injury problems.

If we are throwing out £27mill on a CB then we must have a decent amount to spend

Has he got a bit of pace that might allow us to play a little higher up the pitch

If he is an improvement on what we have we may not need to keep 9 players in our own half.

Yes

You would hope so. Maybe Keane is off though?

We are twelfth we need to improve everywhere

We're wrapping up last summer's transfer window before getting started on this year's one..

Keane or Mina will go imo.

Two left footers and two rights, lovey balance
