Haha No chance. The stuff of dreams this one.

Best defender at the World Cup. Looks like an absolute machine of a player, and totally built for EPL football.

He’ll end up at City like everyone else of his level.
Either City or Chelsea. With the way Chelsea are spending money I won't be surprised if he joins them in summer.

Both would sign him, just so we couldn’t . That’s what Chelsea are doing already anyway.
They are now fixing their attack and get Caicedo and Dumfries this month. Probably go for Gvardiol, Rice/Enzo, Diogo Costa and some other promising young kids in summer.

There are probably 100 CBs across Europe who would be a major upgrade for us at CB. Just basic competence would be a massive boost for us.

How we’ve gone 4+ seasons with Dier, Sanchez, Davies, Tanganga at CB and only brought in one Toby/Jan replacement is malpractice of the highest order.
There are probably 100 CB's across the North London district Pub league who would be a major upgrade for us at CB.

Honestly we could be signing Mbappe and i think i'd be less excited than if we signed two competent CB's

Remember when we wouldn't stump up the fee for Bastoni and ended-up loaning a walking traffic cone from Spain....

.....welcome curtis Davies on loan!

It's so utterly ridiculous to think we are lining this signing up. We never complete signings of this nature. Would be absolutely delighted to be wrong but should be treated with total scepticism IMHO. Being in for a player is very different to getting it done - when do we ever make signings like these?!

Where are you getting this information that we’re ‘lining this signing up’

Remember when Inter didn’t want to sell and Bastoni wanted to stay at the club he’s supported since he was a boy?

I really wish we would just pay up for once and secure this guy. Imagine a defence of Porro Romero NEW CB Gvardiol Udogie. It could completely transform us and give the midfield and attackers more confidence to express themselves.

Feel this is the epitome of a pipe dream, not only for the fee we’d need to pony up. but actually convincing him to join when you’d think he’s got every big team queuing up to sign him seems pretty unlikely we could make this happen. Would love to be proven wrong though.

But if you don't sign them you end up with 400m+ in available money for FFP. Then you can count that money and talk to your yes-men what a financial genius you are.

Porro, Gvardiol and Zaniolo would be a great Jan window and would suggest that we are getting behind Conte (hopefully), but I cant even begin to hope that this actually happens

What am I missing here? Have there been any genuine links apart from the throwaway snippet in Germany's version of the The Sun?

We didn't sign Bastoni because he wanted to stay at Inter. We wont sign Gvardiol because Boehly will probably pull 200m or something ridiculous out of his arse.

Surely even if we pay up this guy will have his pick of the world's best clubs. Can't see it happening at all.

...and here's the beautiful thing, Levy.

You dont need to pay any more on your defence for a few years.


But sign another Joe Rodon and you'll be spending every summer.
