Get what you mean, but it’s Levy & I’m of the mind that it’s good to get it done early. Plus securing KWP is a win-win for me.

Indeed.

Reduced fee is fine & Try & get those wages off the books. Not sure AZ could afford to pay his wages though. My expectations for getting rid of the pesky unwanted players is so low that I thought we did a great job last summer in paying off Clasie & selling Austin for £4m.

https://www.azfanpage.nl/ook-wesley-hoedt-op-het-lijstje-bij-az/ is @van Hanegem around still? Can AZ afford him?

MLG is coming for you & there's nothing you can do about it.

Get your point, but the biggest issue was the bodging of the money we have generated. The Unsellables have really handcuffed us massively.

From Phil Hay’s Leeds Q&A, Re: GK position from The Athletic: We’re waiting to find out with Casilla. It was interesting that Bielsa decided to use him at Derby because it suggested that, in his mind, Casilla is not necessarily done. But I still think there’s a chance he’ll go. Casilla’s reputation has taken a big hit in England. I know that Leeds have long been interested in Emiliano Martinez but sadly he’s flavour of the month at Arsenal. They’ve also looked at Angus Gunn (Southampton) before and that was a name which cropped up again last week. Whatever happens, there’s a very good chance Illan Meslier will start as No 1.We’re waiting to find out with Casilla.

Accurate, I would say.

Tenuous Sunday link to West Ham’s Diangana: https://tbrfootball.com/report-southampton-in-race-to-sign-west-hams-grady-diangana/

Apparently he’s on surprisingly high wages at Schalke...

West Ham or Everton

I actually thought we were in for him, but Blackmore’s info but the brakes on that, which is a shame.

“Let’s back Pellegrino and spend £20m on Carrillo...” Dark times.

Nixon reported interest too.

Only 1 year left on his contract, guys. Enjoy him while we can.

Ditto. In Ralph we trust.

I like Boufal but I wonder if he & reps might think it’s best to sit tight & explore free agency.

😂

Not getting involved the the keeping debate - but I do remember reading about that season being so good defensively largely due to Morgan & Big Vic shutting down so many shots. That was a top side.

Mangala link needs to come from a better source, IMO. Seems to have gone quiet on the Ntcham front.

Silence from Boufal's camp this summer. They normally aren't shy about talking to the media about his intentions.
