seeing claims that...

- we submitted an improved bid of 40m euro (including add-ons) for Lisandro Martinez. Ajax is looking for 50m.

- a deal for Raphinha is agreed and all that is left is medicals & paperwork.

Few minutes after my previous post I saw a tweet from someone in the Netherlands that this recent offer is causing Ajax to stop & consider pulling the trigger.

Common Britishism for people named Matt I'd assume
Brits do that to lots of male names. My English trainer in select added a Y to my name and never used my plain 1st name as far as I remember. Same way Canadians like to add -er to the end of names, I guess.

If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

Have to see how he is doing in preseason. If he seems EPL ready, Southampton wouldn't be a bad destination but if he is good enough for them it may be better just to stick with us and get cup & EL group matches. If he goes on loan, I'm thinking Netherlands, Belgium or Portugal may be the better options.

Romano saying that the deal is 60-65m GBP including add-ons. For that much, i think there are other good options that can step in and make an impact.

Looks like that's done. Tough to miss out on a target, but we can use that money to get Martinez and Tielemanns done.

Still think we need a "swiss army knife" attacker to help with rotation/injuries. I'd like to see us hijack Milan's move for Charles De Ketelaere. He is 21, tall (6'4") can play multiple positions (both wings, AM & ST/CF) and has excellent ball skills.

If we're willing to spend that much, maybe we do bring Gnabry home.
chjoak
How long do you want to ignore this user?
that wouldn't be a terrible option either

Hard part would be convincing to take a lower wage. Didn't he reportedly want some like 300k+/wk

Yep, also what I read. Would have to hope he was pissed off enough about Bayern benching him for the year that he'd accept half that and a gift card to Nando's.

Sounds like United are going to push for Martinez as well. Would suck to lose out on two targets in a matter of days

Seeing some claims that Raphinha may have been a target of opportunity rather than need. Meaning that Edu/Arteta wanted him for his skillset and they may not be in a hurry to identify another wing atleast until Pepe is gone.

Ten Haag seems to be desperately trying to get some of his players from Ajax. They have been linked to Martinez, Timber & Antony a well as trying to coax de Jong from Barca. With the kind of money MU throws around, you would think he/they would cast a wider net.

Thats how I always saw it. He makes the team better, we aren't exactly lacking in decent wingers. Granted that hasn't prevented Arsenal fans from having an absolute meltdown over it. Also apparently Barca are back in the mix which I'd rather happen
chjoak
How long do you want to ignore this user?
yeah, just saw the Barca stuff. Supposedly Raphinha's agent was seen at Camp Nou this morning. Claims are that he is trying to stop the Chelsea move and clear the path for Barca. Sounds like Raphinha is gonna end up at Barca either this summer or in the near future. May not be a bad idea that we dodged this move.

We are supposedly talking to Jack Wilshire about returning as a youth coach
wangus12
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'd be down with that. Maybe as an assistant and not the head coach for one of the youth squads. I do trust Per. He seems to really have our Academy headed in the right direction
chjoak
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I'm sure it would be starting as an asst as I think he just got his coaching badge.

Glad Spurs broke the bank on Richarlson. Guy seems toxic and I'm sure will be a happy camper riding the pine.

Perfect fit for them. A 3rd forward to hurl himself to the turf in the box anytime a defender gets close.

Given their first choice options I think he's decent enough squad depth, but wow that price seems crazy.

Supposedly a very minor knock that we are being overly cautious about.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah I think from Portugal U21s. I just think its funny
wangus12
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Sounds like we are gonna miss out on Martinez as well. United having Ten Hag makes it difficult.

I know its against low level competition, but Eddie had a hat trick and an assist against Ipswich Town in 45 minutes of play.

He scored in the first minute or two.
