Sicario2 - Tier 1 they are selling Duran because they are in PSR trouble. I don't think they are letting go of Watkins for £40m but apparently they've stuck an £80m price tag on him so its not an impossible purchase. All depends on whether a fee can be agreed.

Sicario2 - Tier 1 we probably wont get Watkins but John Cross knows about as much as us on here. A real hasbeen when it comes to football scoops.

    Qwiss I’m all for Watkins joining but £80m for a 29 year old is crazy.

      80m for Watkins, 50m+ for Tel...the market has gone crazy

      Real could be open to a loan deal for Endrick as he's hardly getting any minutes for them. Bring him in so he'll tell Rodrygo in the summer how amazing we are

        Tactics -- and that's without considering Saudi Arabia

        [James Benge] Al-Nassr already readying second and final offer worth up to £90 million for Kaoru Mitoma. Brighton are reluctant to sell.

        Can we trick them into getting Jesus?

        edit: not 5 minutes after I posted this

        I would sell for 90

        daredevil Remember that Gyokeres has also banged them in in Europe, incl. a hattrick against City, and for Sweden. The likes of Seferovic and Bas Dost never passed the eye test either.

        What's Ascencio done lately? Worth a loan?

        Thought he was a decent player once upon a time, but haven't heard much of him at PSG.

        In light of the €60m Tel fee, the €77m Duron fee and the €65m Mitoma offer, how do people feel about a potential 70m euro fee for Watkins? Discuss.

          Claudius not good. All those fees are inflated but two of them are fined by Saudi money. We are my funded by Saudi money.

            Don Pacifico here’s the thing. I think it gets worse from here. These guys are building 2km tall buildings. What’s £100m to them. They need to create a football culture before the World Cup. They’re going to bid up players

            We should pull Zinchenko and Jorginho aside and ask them to think about their children. Consider a nice palatial existence in Saudi.

              Claudius We should pull Trossard and Jorginho aside and ask them to think about their children. Consider a nice palatial existence in Saudi.

              All for this.

              Sure but relative to the rest of the market.

              lorddulaarsenal I think he is waiting, Spurs have agreed a deal with Bayern but not with the player.

              Tbh 4 days ago I’ve never heard of Tel and never seen him play but here we are.

              I really, really hope we got something up our sleeve, it’s kind of season defining.

              No signings by Monday I can’t see us navigating the rest of season. Let’s see.

              Starting to think we get a loan (anyone really) to back-up Havertz and let Nwaneri cook in place of Saka whilst Martinelli and Trossard rotate on the left. Then just hope we remain competitive (and stay in contention for the PL & CL) until Saka comes back.

              Then in the summer throw the absolute bag at Newcastle for Isak.

              We are never signing a class striker ever again are we? Being punished for the privilege of the Thierry Henry years

                Wouldn’t count out Rashford. United clearly don’t want him anymore. We might be playing the waiting game to get a steal in the final hours
