Can you imagine if we get to the end of the summer without Leno, Xhaka, even Laca?. That’s a new spine. Exciting times. Edu is playing Football Manager. Let’s see how good he is
I've seen the reasoning being we buy onana on a cheap deal e.g. 7m or less, sell leno for profit, and play Ryan until onana is available next year.

And immoral too.
Anyway even if he comes in we can always sell Leno next summer, no need to rock the boat now.
Isn’t Onana going to be going off to Afcon too, if his ban is reduced. Makes sense to keep Leno.

I'm assuming that's the logic behind it. Apparently he'd be available for as little as £2m if the ban length isn't shortened on appeal.
Ignoring the fact that I wouldn't really want us to sign him for obvious reasons, is he any good?
His contract runs out in a year, so he’s practically a free agent if his ban isn’t reduced.
A lot of places reporting Onana. Bell also confirmed our transfer team have all agree to vote to sign him.
Leno won't sign a new contract. It might be smarter to sell him this year before his value run out next year with 1 year left.
Sadly enough I see the chances of Ødegaard staying here as even smaller than before now that RM have a manager who always plays with a dedicated CAM.
So we should immediately pivot to Buendia. I love Odegaard but we have options
Maybe there's hope?
Plus he likes James.
Oh hadn’t realised he went to Everton permanently

We love Lille players.
Zeki Celik will be great. That is a proper RB. Hope we get it done before he shine for Turkey in Euros

Agreed. But signing before Euros is a bit of a gamble, considering he may get injured during. Maybe we can put a foot in the door or something.
What are the chances he gets injured in Euros? We have insurance. Just go get another player after
Celik looks good defensively, but Mazraoui looks better technically and going forward. It all depends what we will value.
Both are very interesting.
