Good point.

But Conor Coady has worked out for Wolves pretty well, right Tao?

Whatever happened to Andre Wisdom?

He's "highly rated" whatever that means. Just remember the subsequent records of Jordon Ibe, Brad Smith etc. Suso's about the only one of our highly rated yoof prospects that's worked out for another team. Oh, and Peter Gulasci several years later.

Not quite boldworthy yet but apparently United have signed Dan James from Swansea for £15 million, potentially raising to £18 million with addons.

I really have no idea about the lad.

Also, according to Soccernet Virgil van Dijk wants a new contract.

Not sure if you can say someone has signed and not bold the transfer, judges?

The medical is done but he's on a plane to Croatia now so it's not getting the full announcement treatment yet. It's been a done deal in italics since before his dad died.

That said he was at Elland Road wearing a Leeds shirt and filming promo videos in January and that didn't end up happening.

Klopp's 13pts clear thanks to video ref

Rafa Camacho chat: he did alright in preseason at right back then has slowly been moved forwards in the u23s until he got a fair few goals playing up front. Then he mouthed off on social media about how he is a striker and only wants to play as a striker and basically refused to play elsewhere.

If we get £10m for him Michael Edwards will continue to be a genius.

Xhaka is potentially going to inter for 55m. Think that's pretty reasonable although I do think he is under rated by lots of fans. While he does make too many mistake he is one of our few players with any bottle.

Xhaka is a lot better than the average fan thinks, however he jas Bendtner syndrome and seems to think he is better than Arsenal when he is actually a classic modern Arsenal player who shows glimmers of class while never producing when needed.

A pretty reliable source for Juve rumors says that Man City are close to a deal for Joao Cancelo for €50m. Overall I'm not too pleased if that happens, because at his best he's an incredible player, and Juve will surely be replacing him with someone that's probably worse and definitely less exciting. Trippier keeps getting mentioned, but it'll surely be overpaying Napoli for Hysaj because that's what Sarri will want.

I’d imagine the tough part would be getting past de Light and slotting past Alisson. Can’t imagine your typical Liverpool fan on the pitch would offer much resistance.

On the heels of yesterday’s news that it was between United and Barca for de Ligt, ”sources” today are reporting that he’s close to signing for PSG.
