I try my very best to be coy when I am likely to go against the grain. From very recent information, we are interested. We have been watching events for over a year. We have explored the possibility ‘if’ we were to pursue. We then make a decision nearer the time. We do this; like other clubs with 80% of players we don’t sign for one reason, or a thousand others.

We have active interest, but we have not put in a bid.


*My opinion-out of our range*

Be still my beating heart. Even if it is long odds and unlikely it’s still nice to hear these little snippets of info

I bet if his price ever dropped to where we could be in the hunt at least 10 other teams would also perk up and a bidding war would drive it right back up. One worth watching and admiring but probably never worth actually pursuing or waiting for.

Granted I am in the delusional team spend 100 million on just him instead of ~25 for Grealish, 60+ for Martial, and 15-20 on Gomes, Barrios, Gotze or any other bargain CM. Just my onions.

I'm sure many clubs are watching and are interested. I see no way we can compete for him at that price.

Their owner wants over €100m apparently - not sure which big clubs out there are in desperate need for him though? Especially at that price...

doesn't look all that to me. doesn't seem mobile and looks similar to Andre Gomes. rather offer dembele the 3 year deal he want. we don't have to honour it we can still sell him if his form dips

He's got Real Madrid written all over him. There might be some interesting crumbles to pick up at that table though.

And I'd like to think we'd be right there.

If we are looking at SM-S seriously then it would make sense why the CM ITK has been so sparse (due to waiting for the world cup).

If we could somehow come out of this window with Savic and Lozano i would probably loose my mind in excitement. I’m sure we wont get ether, but I have wanted both for a long while now and both would be perfect for us.

Looks a class player however im not sure how Lazio can command such a high fee.

100m for a player with 5 international caps.

What's he achieved?

He looks mobile playing club football but I agree he looked labored today. His quality is undeniable though I just can’t tell if he looks more mobile in the slow Italian football or if it’s just a different role he plays for the national team where he is expected to be more of a focal point with less defensive responsibility.

They can demand what they want to be fair. I know if it was us with him, regardless of his lack of caps or accolades I'd certainly be delighted for us to demand an incredibly high fee.

His spider stats are the most insane thing I've ever seen. Its like an outline around the whole thing.

But it's got to be realistic though no?

If the club and player agree to a move who's gonna pay 130m?

I bet not one bugger.

Source is a tv show in Sweden were they talk football based on statistics.

It's in Swedish but it says. (sorry for very bad translation)

I see what you mean. Well I'm assuming they're demanding such a high fee as if to basically say he's not for sale. Things will most likely change if the player suddenly starts to demand a move away but of course the chairman is going be saying things like that, he's not stupid. There's a ridiculous amount of money being thrown around in football at the moment so understandably he's going to try and get a stupid amount for someone who's reputation only seems to be growing.

I haven't seen him play international footy. I think the way he runs reminds me of Corluka. I know I'm in the minority and pace isn't everything but I think he would take a while to adjust to the PL due to the frenetic nature of the competition.
