If his heart is set on Barca he’ll just say no anyway.Couldn't we just, I dunno, offer more? Barca offering 7+3, we offer 10+5. Surely the club would have to accept our offer unless barca matches.

Reading Fabrizios tweet it said could be finalised next week. Further highlights that Barca have no money this window and they’ll make an agreement for the summer

This kid is versatile and talented enough to play any of the three CM positions in our system tbh.We must not think much of donley and Devine if we are trying to bring this kid in?
Don’t think that’s the case at all. I see it pretty much as Ange tells it - we should always be looking for opportunities to improve.We must not think much of donley and Devine if we are trying to bring this kid in?
By all accounts, him, Donley, Devine and Sarr would be a very tidy and versatile quartet to have waiting in the wings (although granted, Sarr is not really "in the wings", I only include him because of his young age).This kid is versatile and talented enough to play any of the three CM positions in our system tbh.

The chances of any academy player making the transition to regular first-team player are always small, so we should never stop trying to scout the brightest youth talents out there. If Donley and Devine are better then they will need to compete to prove it.We must not think much of donley and Devine if we are trying to bring this kid in?
What about Tyrese Hall? I've been reading a lot of positive things about him recently in the youth section.Different skill sets.
Bergvall is an 8 right now, but long term I think he'll be a play making 6.
Donley will be a 10. Possibly even a 9.
Devine will probably start as a 10 and become an 8 as he matures.
I find it interesting that our interest only came out immediately after Wharton chose Palace. Seems that's the profile.
We've also got to look at the fact that Bissouma, Bentancur, and Madders are all 27.
We can't have them all age out at the same time or we'd fall off a cliff like Liverpool last season and it's a £200m CM rebuild.
Ideally you want a youngster to displace one of them in the XI over the next 2-3 years, sell the older player, and the rest of the youngsters to provide depth / competition and longer term replacements.
That's true, he has (apparently) been playing well but you can't really have too many options because there's always a chance that they won't all make it.What about Tyrese Hall? I've been reading a lot of positive things about him recently in the youth section.
