thevelourfog Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Think it's pretty pathetic that these "heartfelt" goodbye statements are even a thing. Everyone so desperate to cultivate an image, everyone so quick to anger if public figures don't maintain that image. Just move on and leave it at that, imo. It really is time to start bringing people in, though. If we're to stand a chance next year, Pochettino needs to be taking more or less his finished squad on tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign of the times we live in. I have no interest in watching it or directly reacting to it. A complete nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd25 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) A lot of Andrey Santos to Porto on loan stories this morning, but I did also read option to buy, which is surely complete rubbish. Edited July 5, 2023 by Floyd25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can defo see why they'd want to get him regular game time in a European league (with the added bonus of Porto being a Portuguese language location), but i'm honestly a little surprised if he doesn't at least get some of pre-season here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poch wants to take a look at him in pre season and decide whether or not to loan him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless he will play more games in the PL next season than Madueke. Wanna bet on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backbiter Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 With all the comings and goings, this clip came up on my Twitter feed. November 2021 CL v Juve. We've hardly played well since, with just the away leg in Madrid a standout performance. Only a handful of those players still around. Chilwell suffered a season-ending injury that night and things just spiralled. https://twitter.com/AlexisIsKavkas/status/1673414980450807822?s=20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Man United are really milking the Mason Mount move. You’d think they’ve signed Mbappe. And the media just going along with it. Really bored of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin1905 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Been told to expect an announcement on Caicedo soon, at least that everything is in place, probably in the next 24-48 hours. Apparently Bohley wants it done soon as possible to tie it in with Mount going. So thanks Mason but we've actually upgraded you, quite drastically judging by last season's performances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud-Blue Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 We could try pushing them up to £20m but it doesn't make that much difference. It'll be good to get his wages off the books, and I suspect Poch won't want him in training if he's looking to leave. We have bigger Lukaku-shaped problems to focus on.

Then again I'd also sell Pulisic for a cold can of coke. 1 minute ago, Bob Singleton said: Hope we don't mess about and just take the money. I can't see anyone else offering more.

Not worth seeing a deal possibly collapse because we've tried to squeeze a few extra million out of it. If AC Milan walk away we're stuck with a player that's got no other interest in him right now, and may not draw any before the window shuts. Would be criminal having him here for this upcoming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 I agree we should take the Milan offer, but I would also hope a replacement is lined up as we are running the risk of being too light in the attacking department and being forced to stick with Ziyech, which really cannot happen!
