Add him to the list with Maddison on it. Depressing. He looks like a real talent.United bound. Rio wouldn't tweet that unless he knows something. Sadly I wanted this one but we had already said no to him for a reason.
As I previously said, I'd rather drop 50m on a Koulibaly or DM. We have Dele (people hating on him but he ain't going anywhere) and we need to get Lo Celso firing.
We need to invest heavily in the defence and a striker.
I've also said in the past that, I have big doubts he'd be a success in the PL. Seen him have some awful games, seen him being quite invisible then pop up with a worldie. If people get angry with Alli then they have no idea.
Well im not disputing how frustrating we are with our business.Think people (myself as well) are annoyed we can work so long to try get a player and we end up saying, we couldn't reach an agreement because of the fee.
I dont know that much about him but would he better to get rid of eriksen asap and then pick someone instead of him
Gotta admit, I'm pretty cheesed off Bruno Fernandes won't be shielding our back four or stepping in to the gaping chasm at right back, for us.This year just gets better & better ??

However, I always felt that we were pursuing Fernandes in case Lo Celso went south. As soon as we made the Lo Celso breakthrough the Fernandes stories completely dropped.
Exactly!I think it was more to do with Eriksen staying. If Eriksen had left in the summer we would have bitten.
My issue is that we should be proactive rather than reactive. If Eriksen leaves we are then scraping around trying to replace him.
Thing is people have declared in this thread that we bought two number 8/10's in the last window so what is the need for a third?This is going to be another big one we missed out on. Instead we will spend half that money on junk trying to be clever
I'm not so sure. I just couldn't see Levy paying 60m for Lo Celso and 60m for Bruno at the same time.I think it was more to do with Eriksen staying. If Eriksen had left in the summer we would have bitten.

Because Eriksen still gets a game and he can't be arsed. So surely we need a proper centre mid who can score, shoot from long range and create thingsThing is people have declared in this thread that we bought two number 8/10's in the last window so what is the need for a third?
The word 'fit' and 'path' spring to mind for some posting in here.
I like him as a footballer but we might as well let this go.
I don't disagree with that, but when you have the best part of 100 million quids worth of new midfielder in your team both supposedly unfit (an now injured) and still taking time to settle (5 months after arriving) I can't see the 50/60/70 million it'll cost to buy him being worth it in the eyes of either the board or some of the fan base.Because Eriksen still gets a game and he can't be arsed.

100000000% this. We know Eriksen is leaving. We know we create next to nothing without his input. We know we can't solve it wit existing personnel...My issue is that we should be proactive rather than reactive. If Eriksen leaves we are then scraping around trying to replace him.
For eriksen to go so he could spend 2 more years fucking about before signing a #10100000000% this. We know Eriksen is leaving. We know we create next to nothing without his input. We know we can't solve it wit existing personnel...
What the f**k is Levy waiting for??
