Also, Dusan Vlahovic, talk to me. What a player. Will he still be at Fiorentina next summer or a big European move? Have Liverpool had a look?

{Ed002's Note - Denis Zakaria (DM) Free Agent in the summer who has been of interest to Manchester City, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Juventus although many have preferred options. Roma and Inter also offer an opportunity for him to move to Italy but seem less likely destinations. I would not rule out a move to Dortmund to replace Witsel. Juventus interest is based on their preferred target Tchouameni opting to move to England. Barcelona want a Busquets replacement and Real Madrid a Casemiro replacement. I am not aware of any approach by Liverpool unless they are looking to replace Fabinho but they may have scouted him.
Dusan Vlahovic (S) Fiorentina eventually managed to hang on to the player last summer regardless of the interest of Manchester City and Atletico Madrid and now want a new contract. The player’s agent has made it clear to the club that the player needs to make a step up and move on. There is significant interest in the player. Milan are keen on the player as an Ibrahimovic replacement - Spurs have the same view in respect of Kane and Antonio Conte is an admirer of the player. Whilst Paratici is keen he may be scared off by the price and could turn to an alternate solution Spurs have in mind. Dortmund see him as a Haaland replacement but a move seems unlikely. Manchester United have had him watched but, like Roma and Arsenal are an unattractive option and can be discounted; whilst the rising cost of the transfer will remove Atletico Madrid from the equation, and they have a far more economically viable solution in mind. Bayern Munich and Juventus offer attractive options which would see him at the top of the game. Juventus have an advantage as the player is keen to remain in Italy – but the club are being pressed to sign another. Bayern Munich are looking for a long-term successor to Robert Lewandowski and know that their first choice is very unlikely to join them as it stands right now. Chelsea are still a striker short and may put a proposal to Fiorentina but it is difficult to see the move happening. Barcelona may become an option if they lose out on Haaland and, critically, if Fiorentina would accept players as part of a deal. I think it unlikely. PSG cannot be discounted as an Icardi replacement. Inter want the future of Lautaro Martinez resolved else they will also look to him. Manchester City should still not be discounted and he I seen as a very clear option to Harry Kane. The player was happy to stay this season but there will be efforts made in January to agree a transfer, perhaps for the summer. The compelling case for him to stay where he is for this season has proven correct with his value increasing and a wider range of clubs interested. The best advice would be to see what happens in Munich and Turin - and don't rule out a bid from Spurs or Manchester City. Fiorentina will look to €90M or €100M.}

Let's hope Vlahovic isn't another player that has drifted out of our financial structure, in terms of what we are willing to bid.
Iv a vocal fan of this guy the last 12 months.

Yes he has drifted from out if our financial structure. We will look for someone around the 30-40 mil mark. 90-100 is way too much for us.

Imagine spending £150m on Lukaku and Werner and still “being a striker short. ” 🤣.

I never understood the way teams like Chelsea, City, Juve manage to keep players happy, as you've said Werner, Lukaku, and potentially Vlahovic. They're obviously on good wages but surely that speaks volumes about a player's motivation if they're happy to be one of a number of top-class strikers at a club.

Good point CymruRED - not really working for Chelsea at the moment though, Werner still can't hit a cows arse with a banjo and Lukaku been injured but not exactly setting the place alight with performance and goals when he has played.

Well when fit Werner and Lukaku have played together a few times. Stands to reason a 3rd striker for the bench/ rotation. Werner may possibly leave anyway.

Anyone hear that the Liverpool/ Leeds game has been called off?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

23 Dec 2021 12:14:04
Just seen its been confirmed as called off.

Agree3 Disagree0

23 Dec 2021 13:08:48
got to think that's great news. Boys get to see their families for more time over Christmas and get to rest so we are full throttle for the crucial Leicester and Chelsea away games. Even better would be if City drop points.

WarMachine, all well and good, but the game has to be played at some point. Whilst they get to rest now, it will have to be squeezed in further down the line.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed0666's Note - I disagree Leeds game being postponed is a real stroke of luck. Will give Thiago, Vvd, Fab a few more days to get match fit.

23 Dec 2021 14:04:00
Robbo suspension now rules him out of Chelsea.

Agree2 Disagree0

23 Dec 2021 14:08:13
and city having to play twice in 3 days with some of their squad with C.V. is unfortunate for them and I wish their players a good recoevry but we need them to start dropping points / get off this winning streak asap.

Leeds are depleted would of been great to play them! We will play them now when they will have a loaf of players back and a trickier game!

Agree2 Disagree0

I think it is a conspiracy by the Premier League, Jay.

Being serious, we are a much better side than Leeds and are good enough to see off their best, fully fit team.

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Dec 2021 10:44:02
Rumoured dates for the rescheduled Leeds game 19th Jan or 01st Feb, either would mean we would be missing Salah, Mane and Keita.

Do we still hold an interest in Jonathan David, Ed?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - Jonathan David (S/AM) Lille, like many French clubs were hit hard by the loss of broadcast revenue and will need to sell some of their more valuable assets even though they do not want to. Jonathan David is valued by Lille at an unrealistic €60M with Real Madrid keen if a deal cannot be reached for Haaland. Another option for Madrid might be to pay a deposit on a transfer for 2023 and leave him at Lille. Real Madrid may try and negotiate Eden Hazard being included in a deal. There is likely to be plenty of interest in him for a summer move if his price comes down a little - West Ham, Inter and Arsenal are three clubs cited having sent scouts to watch him.}

Thanks Ed, sounds a bit pricey for us.

I assume we’re still on our knees financially? A few weeks ago I read somewhere that PL teams could be in for more revenue from a new TV deal?
