Milan Skriniar

[SpartanSpur]

Hmm surely Hitchen doesn't fly out to Italy in the middle of a pandemic unless we are serious about doing a deal?

 

[wiggo24]

If Hitchen has been sent over I think it's fair to assume Skriniar's our target.

Hitchen getting papped in Milan ?

Good to know the player is 'very interested' in coming to us.

No idea on reliability, but I like their news

That's all that matters these days

Hopefully Hitchen also is catching a flight to Portugal tomorrow.

Bold call there fella.

Hitchen when they won't budge off 60m

 

[rossdapep]

Surely Conte will be pressuring them to sell as he'll want Milinkovic

 

[SandroRedknapp]

We're serious about this if Hitchen is flying there and we're prepared to pay 50m. I don't want to believe the Diop link so this is as good as done as far as my blind optimism is concerned

"You don't want me to get my Brother over 'ere negotiating, do ya?!!"

He’s a solid defender, just worried about his pace being exposed In the Premier League.

 

[SpartanSpur]

The most interesting piece of information is that from Di Marzio saying Skriniar is very interested in joining. Earlier in the window the player seemed determined to stay.

 

[sidford]

After us holding out for so long for the 20m for eriksen I hope they have short memories at Inter

 

[Yiddo100]

Wonder what has happened, this transfer window has been the complete opposite of what we were told it would be and I love every minute of it

 

[nedley]

He was also very good - especially - when we were recruiting players in window we sold Bale

He’s a solid defender, just worried about his pace being exposed In the Premier League.

He's no slower than peak Toby...

 

[wiggo24]

Would definitely indicate we'll be keeping the four at the back instead of going with the 3-4-3.

Only worry with Skriniar is that he would get exposed in a high line so if Jose doesn't work out and we're hire a progressive manager he might be an expensive liability.

For the moment though he's pretty much the perfect CB for Mourinho's system.

 

[Timberwolf]

Very interesting.

Maybe this kinda stuff happens all the time and we just aren't privvy to it (apparently every player under the sun has visited our stadium and training ground) but you have to assume that for Hitchen to actually fly out there has to be interest on both sides and talks are quite advanced.

Reminds me a bit of when Baldini was photographed in Valencia having talks over Soldado and SC lost its collective shit.

 

[chelmyid]

Me being optimistic but feels like all of our business this window - few loose links, then quiet for a while and then bang - deal done very quickly

fingers crossed anyway!
