If the reports are true and we are putting a bid in for £45m plus add ons I think that's decent and good value.
My reasoning is Nathan Ake was signed for £41m and Skriniar is a far better player.
Napoli are demanding £70m+ for 29 year old Koulibaly and Burnley want close to £40m for Tarkowski.
Nelson Semedo just went to Wolves for £37m, including all the add ons.
Therefore, £45m-£50m for Skriniar isn't bad value at all. (If we have the money as reported)
He is still 25 years old and with Mourinho and King in the coaching setup, he can improve and his game is suited to the Premier League.
From the youtube highlights I noticed he used both feet, at least with some tackles and interceptions, so he could be adept at LCB or RCB.
I just don't know where the money is coming from, but if we sell Foyth, Aurier, Rose, CCV and send Sessegnon in loan, that will bring us close to balancing it out.

No idea if it’s been posted already, but the evening standard are saying that Mitchell has been spotted in Italy with a Milan delegate. Their story is taken from something Dan Kilpatrick shared, which also has a picture.

It has, but I think you mean Hitchen.

Mitchell now runs Monaco’s transfer dept.

Makes me wonder if we might start seeing 3 cbs and the 2 wing backs more often if this gets over the line ?

Back 3 isn't Skriniar's strong point. It's probably the only reason Inter are willing to let him go since it's how Conte likes to play.

I'm pretty sure Skriniar has played all across the defence in his career including both full back positions, I'm sure he would be capable of playing in a back 3 there must be something specific with Conte's tactics that he doesn't gel with.

That said it does currently look like the plan will be to play 4-3-3.

See what happens when the kids wake me up at 6am? I get all confused.. I used to think there was only one 6 o’clock in a day!
So the moral of the story is, don’t have kids, they really ruin your sleep and make you post nonsense.

Anyway, Hitchen is in Italy, there’s a picture blah blah blah. Whatever.

That being the case (yes I know you meant Hitchen) then this is where SC'ers should be concentrating. That's a huge indicator that something is or could be happening.

I find it funny that I'd only heard of Hitchen about 3 weeks ago. Now every time his name pops up, or whenever I see him I get a little tingle. I do like it when a man makes me feel like that.



That wasn't gay btw.

Toby is by far and away the most talented CB we have and we play far better when he's in the side and on form. So confused why so many people are saying Dier or Sanchez should be pairing a new CB. Why shouldn't he be playing alongside Toby? What's the thinking?

I assume it's Inter and not AC as well? "Milan" will always be AC in my world :cautious:
