They way they are buying up players some of them will need broad shoulders as they will need 3 numbers on their backs

If Bayern miss out on Simons and Doue how long before we see Bayern in for Eze

Honestly this is hilarious




LIES… ❌ At the same time the bigger it is, the better it goes. The player has not yet made any decision on his future

Getting farcical from the Bayern mouth pieces here.

Honestly, it would be incredible if we stole a march and swooped in and gave Doue his debut against.......Bayern and just for good measure, Bayern the following week!

The longer this goes on, the weirder it gets. There's actually a hint he may have preferred us but Rennes were too greedy as Herc said and asking way more than we wanted to shell out

I know its a huge career and life decision but the fact he's taking this long to decide where he wants to go is making me think we might be still working on a deal for him

Considering how many jurnos want in on the Doué action I feel like someone (including our ITK’s) would have caught wind of it by now.

What certainly seems the case tho is that he isn’t overly convinced by one more than the other which does make one wonder. Idk, if we had bid I reckon we might have actually got him. The Ange effect is certainly formidable.

You would expect we would have some open lines of communication with his team if this were the case? Did we really go cold with our interest after speaking with his representatives or did we go cold gauging what the situation would be with Rennes?

Anyone’s guess really. I mean WLB himself said we had “heavy interest”. Supposedly Ange talked to him and the general consensus from most ITK’s, not just the ones on here, was that he was keen for a while at least. The general vibe was cautiously optimistic. Then it went cold and Herc obviously said Rennes got greedy.

It’s all just guess work really. Maybe it was just a figures thing or maybe there was more to it. I remember Romano saying at the start that whoever got him would need to convince his family and it wouldn’t be a decision they would take lightly. So who knows maybe they were leaning towards us then we backed out over money and now they are taking time to reassess.

I imagine we probably are still keeping tabs, im sure we would do that with any target we really like/liked. And we know Lange likes to move in the shadows but I feel if we were still trying to grab him our involvement would have leaked considering it’s one of the most high profile transfers currently in negotiation.

Tbh who knows what’s going on. As far as I’m aware Rennes haven’t actually accepted a bid yet.
