Meeting at Madrid is over. We should find out soon the outcome next 48 hours, I’d say, if he stays or goes.

Vini Jr staying at Real.
Am I surprised? No.
Am I upset? Not really.

Just seen Nwaneri might be leaving. He seems to need a challenge but I've read reports from the manager of his loan club publicly stating he needed to do more. Hope it works out for him though.
.
Anyway, if true, it seems we couke insert a buy back clause, that seems like a pretty good idea!

I think so too, Sally. My feeling is that Nwaneri has coasted a little since he broke through, and a permanent deal would be good for him. Buyback clause seems like the best of both worlds, as it puts the pressure on him to excel, and I think he may need that pressure to develop.

He hasn't pushed on, but there is a player there. Perhaps a prem loan, say Everton or Palace, would be better than the south of France. COYG.

Man United news: Myles Lewis-Skelly transfer boost as £36m star 'agrees' move
Let's hope not as there's a few I'd rather release than him - he has a lot of energy and forward play in him. Shame if we sell him especially for just 34m .

That seems cheap to me, Jesus and the likes need to move on before Skelly.

Nope, I don't like that rumour at all!

I don't like either, and it's too cheap. Trouble is, we have Rice, Ode, Bruno, Eze, Zubi, Mikel, Nwaneri, plus MLS for three spaces. Surely Rice, Bruno, and probably Ode are a shoe in to start! But it's a squad game, which, if he's happy, keep him.
Worth way more than £36 mill. If it's United and he wants to go, stick 'em for £70 mill (my value for him) as revenge for RVP. Not that I'm holding a grudge. 🤣 COYG.

Our squad needs to be deep enough for a full second XI and MLS is a perfect fit for that.
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Bruno, Odegaard; Saka, Havertz, Tzolis
Kepa/Meslier; White, Mosquera, Salmon, Hincapie; Zubi, MLS, Eze; Madueke, Gyokeres, Martinelli
Hincapie and MLS are flexible and can play both LB and another position. I've put Salmon in there, as I think he'll get cup minutes this season, though, if Gabi is out, it'll be Hincapie.
The only question mark to me is if we get Vini - we can afford to shift Martinelli and even Madueke to make room for Vini and Dowman.
I think Max is ready and already better than Madueke, personally. I love Martinelli, but neither he nor Tzolis appear to be an upgrade on Leo (yet) . So, for me, keeping MLS is essential for squad balance and versatility. Nwaneri has more to worry about in terms of being sold.

Rumours saying we have offered £86 million for Joa Pedro.
Is this the transfer window obligatory signing from Chelsea?

You have more chance of platting horse s*** than getting Pedro for £86m.

Reports from hand of Arsenal very good source, Vini has agreed personal terms with Arsenal. Arteta has also spoken to him and he likes the project. Real's offer is the same offer he refused last time and they are adamant it’s sign it or leave! Arsenal's offer is better than Madrid's offer.

Apparently there is a defender inbound and could be done quicker than Bruno. It’s either the comp defender or the Sporting rb.

These journalists make me laugh. When we were linked with Vini the reports were Arsenal keeping an eye on Vini due to his contract. Real don’t want to lose him and are confident he will sign a new deal. That was last week. Yesterday Sky reported he’s staying at Madrid because they don’t want him to leave and are confident he will sign. It’s the same report, nothing has changed pmsl.
Now I’ve heard it’s not even about his contract wage demands; it’s his Image rights. He owns 50% so do Real. He wants more of his image rights. If he came to us he would have 100% rights, so that’s one reason we could afford him, plus the shirt sales sponsorships. Anyone who says we can’t afford him is completely wrong.

"Arsenal set Bruno Guimaraes transfer aim after 'progress' with £75m deal"
Sounds like we are within 5m of an agreement!
Exciting!
