Would be great for him, not sure he’d work, but would be great for him to be in London, cl football etc

Devil, Ronaldo is guaranteed goals. Or as close to that as it's possible to get. Almost no chance he'd flop like Torres etc.

Nick it seems that we're just not a very attractive proposition right now for players. We have new owners and maybe players are wary of what that entails exactly.

Presumably that will all change as soon as we sign a few top players and have a bit of stability back at the club.

It's being reported that we might go in for Frenkie De Jong as he has doubts about going to Utd.

Bringing in two top class Dutch internationals De Jong and de Ligt would make good sense to me.

Barcelona president Laporta: “We made an offer to FC Bayern to sign Lewandowski and we are waiting for their response, I hope their response is positive”. 🚨🇵🇱 #FCB

“I want to thank Lewandowski here in public for what he is doing to join us”.

What a nuclear pr'ck Laporta is

Frenkie de Jong would be more interested in a move to #Chelsea than Man United, but his main will is to stay at Barcelona.

De Jong, De Ligt and Ake. Going for the triple Dutch

“Barça owe Pique £30M, De Jong £17.1M, Busquets £15M”

Absolutely absurd

I definitely think Raphinha will end up here, there’s surely no way Barca can be making big signings like that when they can’t even pay their current players.

Although they do operate under different laws than the rest of us

Seems mad that new players would agree to join in that climate

I really hope we don’t go for the Ronaldo signing, although I can imagine an American like Boehly thinks a Hollywood name sounds really good. We would be doing Man Utd a huge favour in freeing up space and a massive amount from their wage bill. Better to leave him there sucking the life force from their team.

Like I've said before it's extremely fishy. UEFA must be giving Uefalona all sorts of reassurances that in no way can comply with fair play rules. The whole situation stinks and I'm unsure why the media aren't really picking up on this and asking loads of questions.

I'll take that all day.

Barcelona are willing to pay Frenkie de Jong back just £3m in deferred wages and have asked him to forgo the rest in a bid to see his move to Manchester United go through.

He is owed close to £17m in deferred wages.

Clement Lenglet is set for a Tottenham medical in the next 24 hours, with a season-long loan deal from Barcelona close to being finalised. ⏳⚪️ https://t.co/xH8IGUheok


Conte going all out

A decision on Raphinha's future is expected within 24 hours. #Chelsea remain the favourites with Leeds United still waiting on an offer from Barcelona.

Raphinha is perfectly fine going to Chelsea, in fact, he’s excited about Chelsea. His dream is Barcelona. If he can’t go to Barcelona then he will go to Chelsea in my opinion." -

Nizaar’s a good source as well.

Looking likely I was right about Raphinha.

Proper right winger.

Barcelona’s idea is to reach an agreement in principle for Cesar Azpilicueta before Saturday. They are waiting for #Chelsea’s decision regarding the player’s future.

[@EduPolo via @ReshadRahman_]

Barcelona have tried to match #Chelsea's offer for Raphinha, but it is add-on heavy and instalment based. Leeds United now want the situation 'urgently resolved'.

[via @JacobsBen]

With Barcelona yet to agree a fee for Raphinha, Leeds United are losing patience and #Chelsea are pushing for an answer. Leeds would prefer to sell to the Blues and have been 'very impressed' by Todd Boehly in negotiations.

[via @JacobsBen]

What ever happened with Dembele? That story went very quiet. Unless everyone is waiting to hear what materializes with Raphinha before going back to Dembele.
