Madrid heading for Europa League obscurity next year. Great to see.
Lock?
Can see us overpaying late in the window.
The story makes it sound like Ødegaard is choosing to give it another go there with a new manager. It will probably only happen if he’s told he’s not wanted (which isn’t really Ancelotti’s style).
Fairly sure Ancelotti said his transfer was just a PR move.
I don't know really what will happen with an attacking mid, maybe we let ESR make it his own and bring in the Correra guy for something different. The AM market seems a bit dead.
The Athletic says we’re going to aggressively pursue other options at 10 now. **** knows who though.
Top of my head, maybe that Brazillian from West Brom, decent stats this season despite being relegated but all in all underwhelming. Sabitzer at 15M seems decent? Then there's the typical, Brandt & Calhanoglu etc links.
Considering the words at the end of the article I'd like to think we will be going bigger in a position we've been coveting since last summer.
You don't do all that work to end up with Brandt, a player you couldve got last summer. Pereira is good but I don't think he's top of the list.
We will make significant signings at CB, CM and AM. As in £30M+ signings.
Ødegaard doesn't seem like the top bracket so not sure who else there is that'll be in and around the level we're looking at, I'd take Ødegaard over all others mentioned.
We missed out on Buendia, in my view because we weren't fully committed, still on the Ødegaard chase. Now we end up with neither. Rodrigo De Paul would more than make up for that all, but looks like he is headed to Atleti.
