Safe to assume he’s going to get a pro-deal.

Article in The Athletic reporting Utd are closing in on sancho. Also mentioned in the article: Director of football negotiations Matt Judge is also in dialogue over Kieran Trippier. ———— Interesting for us, re: Brandon Williams

I thought he cost them £14m when he signed? I’m sure we like him. But wouldn’t he be £25m+ ?

Club would spend £15-18m on the right player as a 1-off was the other headline snippet.

Looks like Kameron Ledwidge is leaving us. Was part of the 2017/18 intake. Hope he finds himself a good club.

Sounds like it could another Minamino loan: It’s also understood that while it’s unlikely Minamino will sign permanently, there is scope for him to return temporarily again. However, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp wants the Japan international to report for pre-season to assess whether he can become an important squad player for the Anfield side.

Curious that Slater doesn't believe there are interested parties when Dan Sheldon thinks there are. (I don't know if he knows that for sure, or if he's guessing). You would have expected the 2 to liaise with each other on the article. They have done before.

It’s a quality rumour though. Cheers for sharing

Southampton left searching for centre-backs Southampton are braced for the departure of Jannik Vestergaard this summer and are looking at their centre-back options. The Denmark defender, who will go to the European Championships with his country, has previously been on Leicester City’s radar but a move never materialised during the January 2020 window. He has one year left on his deal at St Mary’s and has been seen as an option for clubs looking for a dependable centre-back following his three years on the south coast.

Che Adams to miss the Scotland friendly tonight alongside 5 teammates. COVID precaution. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/che-adams-and-david-marshall-among-six-scotland-players-to-miss-netherlands-friendly-amid-covid-19-precautions-3258554

A bloody good Danish one, back in the day.

The Athletic 1st linked us with Firpo back in January. They mentioned we were likely to revisit the deal in the summer... So hopefully we've had enough time to work out if we can afford it or not.

I wouldn’t bet against him getting into the B team next season. We were bodging fullbacks into central midfield at times.

I made a rookie error and was incredibly naive and believed we would hear something pretty soon after the season finished.

No shortage of available options for any of them.

On a semi-related note, Crocker / Ralph / Alek Gross really have to get our pre-season fitness spot on this summer.

I think this is a very good point.

A very good read. Thanks for taking the time on it.

Something would have gone very, very wrong if we start the season with Elyounoussi / Lemina / Hoedt involved in the squad.
