Wonder if Jose might be on his way back to Madrid with Zidane gone. If so who would come in here and I guess it would really play havoc with our transfer plans.

Thr papers (who have absolutely no facts) are saying wenger as favourite for RM

Tgey have also linked every manager in the top 10 of football so.

Tge Wenger thing i don't understand at all tho.

If . Big if. if jose was too leave . I'd go for Simone and let him bring greisman with him.

No interest in Simeone from my side.
Would be even more “results over style” then Mourinho.
Would put us in a difficult spot with the season being over and transfer plans in full swing from all clubs.
Only positive would be it being a World Cup year, which is a big stumbling block in transfer dealings for the involved players anyway.

Fat Sam is available 🤢 don’t think you would notice any difference if they swapped Jose for pulis.

Hi all,
Thanks to the Eds as always.
Interesting reports starting to appear, personally the Arnautovic rumours I find ridiculous but I hope Willian happens in terms of where experience can be added. Fred would also be an excellent signing IMO. At CB I wonder if we can expect to see someone coming in, what are people's thoughts on that position specifically?
Ed is there interest in Arnautovic from United or is this the media being thrown a bone?

Hope everyone has an excellent Summer (when it arrives) .

{Ed004's Note - There is interest in centre backs. Ed2 a few months ago mentioned Umtitti and Upamecano as targets and most recently Alderwerield is gaining a lot of attention. I disagree with William as I feel we need better quality. Would like Fred to sign and if there's any truth in thiago being available we should be all over that Lastly, I can't see Arnautovic happening at all}

Rather take a punt on bringing Memphis back than sign Arnautovic.

Thanks for the reply Ed - Toby is the best CB in the league IMO but we have barely seen him play this year. Would be a fantastic signing. We’ll have to agree to disagree with Willian mate, I’m a huge fan. Thiago would be an incredible signing, top top player.

Jose apparently went and watched Arnoutovic for Austria.

He's working for a Russian broadcaster for the world cup. I'd say he was there doing his homework on the Russian national side.

He went and watched the Austria game, surely if he wanted to see what Arnautovic is like he would have just watched him all season in the Prem. If a story sounds silly it probably is, do you honestly think we will pay over £50m for him?

Agree3 Disagree1

31 May 2018 16:05:14
Or watching Alaba.

Agree3 Disagree0

31 May 2018 16:44:56
Rumour has it he was also watching Golovin and another Russian player.

Agree2 Disagree0

£50m is like loose change these days so yes I can see £5 bracket being where Arnie is in.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 May 2018 22:24:56
Doubt he’d have to scout him. He knows him from inter and they didn’t get on.

Agree1 Disagree0

Mort,

There is no rumour, he was watching 22 players at any one time, surprisingly I have only seen us linked with 2 of them so far, this journalism thing seems too easy.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Jun 2018 22:14:11
I hope not WRD. Surely he wouldn't have gone to watch him play for Austria. Can see him every week in prem and also managed him at inter. I'd say he knows all that he needs.

Before we start this is only something iv read. Its a nice old school rumour with a story. I'm paraphrasing a bit but apparently our new sleeve sponsor is "Kohler" (an American manufacturing comapny) .

So the story goes that the guy who brokered the deal let it slip to someone that we have activated Griezmann''s release clause. Him accepting our offer is a different matter. Either way he won't be announcing where he's going until after the world cup.

If the the sleeve sponsor announced in the next two weeks is Kohler, then maybe this has legs.

Woodward is always looking for the big "markee" signing. Maybe Antoine is it?

Mumbles I read exactly the same thing last night and not going to lie it got me very excited. I am very sceptical but there could be some truth in it. I would have thought Barcelona would have had this deal wrapped by now. But I think there is something to do with his release clause being activated at a certain date. I would love griezmann he is my preferred no 1 signing this summer. At least will if we announce the Koehler sleeve sponsor then perhaps we can get excited by this.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was part of a strategy to get Bale, There is obvious interest in Bale and the numbers being quoted since he scored in the final seem to have increased maybe this is our way of saying if the price is to much we can go elsewhere. The good thing for us is there is a lot of top talent available just now so hopefully we don't get held to ransom as much as normal. Saying that with the names being thrown around looking for a move in the summer anyone else massively regretting buying Sanchez.

Havent seen those Griezman rumours but its always struck me as odd that JM hasn't kept him in the frame . obviously wanted him and by all accounts we were close to getting him - now he is "available" again, human nature says JM just suddenly would not be interested in him -yes we got RL "instead" Fergie always wanted Batistuta, Van Persie, Lewondowski . so I can imagine JM has always considerd Griezeman as one that got away.

Griezeman meets EDS galatico policy and JM likes him a lot. so its not completely impossible just very doubtful to me.

Martial leaving puts a new slant on it all, if that's what happens this summer as the lad seems unsettled.

Martial keeps his counsel very close to his chest too which I do like. Has he been quoted anywhere saying he is keen to leave or indeed stay?

First time I've heard of kohler so well done to them.

Read the Kohler would like a partnership with Koke also.
