Is anyone at Leeds talking about stealing Flynn Downes off us when you lose Phillips, or is that just our own fans massively overestimating how in-demand (and good) our players are.

Most of the credible transfer chat has been about players out. The big ones apart from Aaronson is that they're working on a deal for Calvin Ramsay at Aberdeen as a replacement for ayling and an unnamed premier league striker (maybe nketiah if he doesn't sign a new deal but also possibly batshuayi since I think they tried to get him last year)

If Philips does get the deal he's looking for there'll probably be more midfield chat though

I'm guessing there was a big "we might be in the championship" elephant in the room in the way of incoming chat until very recently.

Was the big reason they were still in the title race til the last day. Conte will get the best out of him if he can stay motivated.

Chiunque può essere Luther Blissett, semplicemente adottando il nome Luther Blissett

What I've seen from United fans is that he's past it and they don't want any more Chelsailures, but for me he's only 31 and if he's available for sensible money I'd take him even just for depth

although tbh I'd sign Karl Henry at this point for the sake of having a loving midfield

I'd take him in a heartbeat if not for his recent injury record. But if Tuchel is letting him go, that's a giant red flag.

Me too if only because its a fairly clear sign that the board are willing to make signings for Conte.

Kane to Man United is the kind of transfer that would have been absolutely nailed on about 15 years ago but seems quite funny at the moment.

Interested to see what happens to the spurs loan boys. Lo Celso will probably stay at Villareal now, Cameron carter Vickers is going, Gil will come back I think but might get another loan. And Ndombele I have no idea.

He has more chance of willing the CL with Liverpool if Bayern lose Lewandowski. Those two together might be lethal though.

Good luck to him. He's been fantastic but at least one of the original front three was going to leave this summer considering their ages, contracts and how well Jota and Diaz have been doing. Don't know if Carvalho is ready yet, but should be able to deputise.

What's happening with Firmino? Is he injured or just benched?

He was out of form and fell down the pecking order as a result because both Jota and Diaz were in great form when they first signed for us. I think there were some minor injuries along the way as well, the kind of thing that would keep him out for a couple weeks and make it harder to get a good run of form going, which meant he stayed on the bench once fit again because whoever had deputized for him was playing lights out. With Mane and backups like Origi leaving (Minamino leaving also wouldn't surprise me) he'll probably play more again next season.

He'll be valuable in our push for the playoffs this year if he can squeeze his way past Matt Phillips

I was going to say, he might be plenty good, but getting a 33 year old on a free transfer isnt the strongest evidence they're going to spend a ton lol

You've fallen for the classic Fabrizio. There's nothing corroborating Mane saying he wants to leave he could still either renew or do a Salah and stay and go on a free next year.

It must be, though. When has Conte ever asked for a roster of older "experienced" players he's familiar with?
