Don't think he really raises the bar for Man Utd in all honesty. Obviously far better on the ball than De Gea, but he's nothing particularly special as an actual keeper/shot-stopper and prone to his own errors. He'll be pressed a lot more in the Premier League compared to that of Serie A, and if you watch some of his clips at Ajax he's not immune from ballsing it up in compromising positions. A little sample below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, I was in favour of keeping him around for a second season, but also hard to justify a squad player on those wages. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sticking point with Lavia though is that he doesn't really remedy our issues. We'd be better served signing someone like Onana from Everton.

There's no sense in us spending £50m on a CB like Ghuei for example that doesn't move the needle and possibility becomes an issue next summer. We could of course look at signing another upcoming talent such as Scalvini, Goncalo Inacio, or Antonio Silva who'd likely cost similar, if not more, but then creates a logjam of young upcoming CB's once everyone is fit. This leaves us with looking at the other end of the spectrum, in a short term older player that can just be a stop-gap for a season - which suits our needs.

I say it again, Brighton aren't this bullish for Colwill if they aren't actively being encouraged by the player and/or his reps. The BBC reporting of his press conference is pretty different. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66275358 "I am proud about Levi because he showed his quality with the national team and I am very happy for him. I love him but it is not our player." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kelly Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Reports that we're considering a deal for Mbappe who has been transfer listed by PSG. Do we really want another player on stupid money to upset the others whilst believing the club is there to serve them and not the other way around? I hope this is cobblers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see this happening. Whilst undoubtedly we are one of the clubs which could afford whatever tag PSG put on him, can't see him accepting a move based on the wage structure we are developing. He'd have to be on the same money as Reece or Raheem, nothing more. Also doesn't he play off the LW? We need an out and out striker, and one without baggage which Poch can mould. I'm kinda surprised we're not looking at any Championship players, what about Piroe? 19 goals in the Championship last season and wouldn't be expensive.

We’re supposed to be signing Neymar. We surely can’t afford both Neymar and Mbappe. Especially with no European football. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumours are that he’s going to sit on the bench at PSG next season and collect his £100m wages then move to Real Madrid on a free transfer and pocket a £160m signing on fee.

When there is talk of Al Ahli offering £200m to PSG for a player running down his contract and £200m per year in wages for just ONE YEAR, you know we're not involved. Most likely scenario is that he stays at PSG for the year if he doesn't fancy Saudi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Apparently we're at the stage of having almost agreed terms with Kudus of Ajax. Reminds me a lot of Kovacic but with added goals and assists. Could be a really good addition to the midfield. Him, Caicedo and a striker and I'd be happy. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
