Andre Onana - Inter >>>>> Man United looks close.
Sofyan Amrabat - Fiorentina >>>>> Man United is a possibility as a more defensive minded midfield option, but theres also big interest from Saudi.
Fred - Man United >>>>> Saudi or Fulham.
Dean Henderson - Man United >>>>>> Nottingham Forest on a permanent deal.

He is miles clear of Bajcetic and plays a completely different position

Lavia is widely regarded at the best 6 in world football under 20

Price is high but he is your DM for 8 years if you rotate him right
Bajcetic does not have a settled position. Mainly plays 6, but has also done well playing 8. If Klopp goes more of 3 at the back next season, Baj is more likely to play a hybrid 6/8 role, with plenty of rotation . Either way, im excited to see the new midfield.

Everton now in for Anthony Elanga apparently.
West Ham could be in for Scott McTominay for between 25-30m. If I’m United and I get a bid like that for him, i’d accept it on the spot.

baj is a terrible 6, left sided 8 he did ok - we need to aim higher than relying on him for now

henderson to saudi is gathering momentum, thiago apparently has offers but doesnt want to go, joel matip has an offer as well and we are happy to sell

Hendo would be mad to knock the offer back, apparently,700K, a week.Thiago is talking to Barca, and Fabs has an offer from somewhere, cant lose all three of our experienced mids, have to hang on to at least one, hopefully Fab, as the only experienced 6 we have. Hendo is over the hill, Thiago always injured, and Steve G's offer for hendo could let us go back into the market for a good young 6. Maybe can get enough for Matip, Phillips, Kelleher, Tsimikis to bring another CB on board.

all 3 of those can't run, move them all on

we still have all the experience and leadership you need

Moses Caicedo to Liverpool ? Would love it if we can pull this off. Midfield set for 5 to 7 years. Was funny how he was supposed to be going to the rent boys for the last month, but everyone was wondering why he hadn't actually signed.🤞🤞

Speaking of Amrabat, looks like he wants the Man United move and United want him, but they have to sell one of Fred or McTominay first.

I’m not fussed about Amrabat but really want Lavia, his potential is crazy.

West Ham apparently want Harry Maguire. I’m on my knees West Ham pleeeeease do it. I’ll take back any unkind things I said about David Moyes if he pushes this through.

Andre Onana is a done deal.

I’m genuinely excited by this, its a very different style of keeper to De Gea, more of a so called ‘modern’ keeper, one thats good on the ball and can sweep. Has the odd mistake in him, but i’m really looking forward to seeing how he handles the premier league and how he handles the pressure of being the goalkeeper at Man United.

Like you, Ive had a small sample of games to go on of him, I must of got the good ones because he’s been quite good when I’ve watched him.

Mike Maignan is the AC Milan keeper yeah? Very impressive. We were linked around late April - early May but he’s not keen to leave Milan yet apparently.

onana also wasnt keen to leave when chelsea were knocking

i cant say i saw a game of his in the serie a, but he was dreadful at ajax and looking up his numbers, conceded a lot this year as well

should go well replacing de gea

Ah the Saudi raid continues… first taking over clubs, now signing some big names..

Thankfully Saudi Arabia isn’t in Europe with the UCL, the only thing stopping Al Itihad from being the new powerhouse team in the world
Saudi league is just going to keep growing I reckon. It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if they pay their way into UCL

people will stand up and take notice when they land a real star

all the players that have gone there, you understand why

mo salah will go for a record fee and wages next year, but until they get an mbappe profile, no one will care

If Salah goes next year that’s a massive get man, he’s still in top 5 players in the world. Admittedly getting a bit older but takes good care of himself and still delivering at the highest level
