[Hamstelaar] Ajax is interested in Manchester United right-back Ehtan Laird. Laird has a contract that expires next year, and thus Ajax isn't the only interested club.

I mean, ManU has a Hertha-like knack for ruining/squandering a good thing...but I would be impressed if even they could manage to screw that up.

Don’t test us. We can ruin anything.
Laird to Ajax would be a great move.
Just pls include a buy back.
Not Campos. Neymar is either gone to make room for a big tall striker and Mbappe on the left or he's staying.
In other news Monaco is trying to salvage Soumare from Leicester. Great move.

I don’t know where a lot of those new players they got are getting minutes. People just can’t say no to the blaugrana though when it’s in front of them.

Gvardiol was mentioned for the first time in a while.
I wonder if that’s a “oh shit Kimpembe isn’t overly keen on a move and neither is PSG” reaction or moreso that they don’t feel Colwill is ready.
Rudiger 54
Thiago 48
Azpi 47 (cant remember what portion of those were CB starts - probably half?)
Christensen 34
Chalobah 30
Sarr 21
Obviously you want to cut Sarr’s starts down, and also Thiago’s given his age.
We really need a backup RWB and to dump wages, lol.

I'm betting it's because Kimpembe isn't happening since we saw reports recently that he might not want to move. Gvardiol is probably the next one up to target if Kounde goes to Barca. Still think 3 defenders meant 2 CB and some sort of wing-back cover.
Colwill's choice will probably be up to him. If he wants starting 11 minutes, we won't stand in his way, but if he just wants assurance that he'll be used like Chalobah, I think he'll get that.

He doesn’t by all accounts. This isn’t a Broja situation, thankfully.
Seems he’s ok going out on loan if he can’t get Chalobah type minutes as well.
@Evilo posted an informative link regarding Barça's monopoly money, Liverpool's monopoly money, etc. You'd do well to read it.
Or maybe it's just bullshit. Not a lot on our end with regards to this player, at least from what I've seen.

Yeah it’s all Monopoly money when it goes though amortization. Not every team is selling rights deals for transfer funds though. Which I guess is fine? More power to them.

They have the ability to buy their rights back at a set price when they make more money (i.e during non-covid time). Does that mean they won't be able to buy new players if they buy the rights back? Perhaps but that's the gamble they've made. They've made the gamble that if they don't perform now the financial problems will be much worse later.

I’m not arsed. All I know is that there is no way that I would sell a player to Barca right now.

They aren't going to go under. Non-payment of transfer fees is also the quickest way to massive sanctions.

Yeah, and not every team generates the revenue Barca does even if you factor in any rights that have been sold.

Right. And more power to them. What they do is what they do. If it works out, it works out. I’m not the only person who doesn’t understand it but I don’t need to.

Alasdair Gold brought up the Spurs x Maddison rumours in his latest video. Essentially said that a deal isn't in the works or anything but it's one to look out for for sure.

Maldini travelling to Brugge today to talk De Ketelaere. Milan latest bid I believe was €32M but Brugge doesn’t seem to cave to anything under 35M

The Leicester logjam: Why Brendan Rodgers' transfer plans have been paralysed
Leicester City are the only club in the Premier League yet to make a signing this summer - and they have to sell players before they can buy
www.telegraph.co.uk
Leicester are in huge financial trouble. Need to sell for a supposedly significant amount before they buy.
Adding to the problem we're rebuilding the stadium so we're gonna play in the ancient, smaller Montjuic stadium for the foreseeable future.
