Reportedly a fee of £88m potentially rising to £130m for Hazard has been agreed between Real and Chelsea. Depending on how realistic the add-ons in this deal are, Chelsea have potentially done very well to get so much.

BBC reckon it could be £150m. Maybe a sell on clause or something as well.

Blimey, that happened quicker than I expected. What is happening about Chelsea's ban?

They've appealed to CAS and if history is anything to go by then it'll be froze until the outcome of the hearing meaning they can sign players this summer.

Shamikebab · 7 Jun 2019 at 23:27

Yeah I thought that might be the case, wonder who they'll go for.

And truth in Carrasco to Arsenal? Would be a decent signing imo.

We're linked to pepe from lille never seen him play, stats looks good though.

Apparently (SSN) united have made a large bid for wan bissaka.

Shamikebab · 9 Jun 2019 at 14:51

Several people reported it quite close together so looks like a briefing.

Robert · 9 Jun 2019 at 15:08

I haven’t seen anything of him, heard good reports though?

BaZ87 · 9 Jun 2019 at 15:12

He's very good and had it not been for Trent, he'd probably be England's RB for the next 10 years. The briefings seem to be coming from Palace but talk of a £60m fee needed to persuade Palace to sell is huge.

McBain · 9 Jun 2019 at 15:30

WB is very promising, he's a right back that is actually solid at defending.

Robbo · 9 Jun 2019 at 17:21

I want him but £60m seems steep. Then again, if it sorts our RB out for the next decade it's not really that bad at all.

Robert · 9 Jun 2019 at 17:30

Any top rb is going to be steep at the moment. We just need to stump up

omnomnom · 9 Jun 2019 at 17:42

Do United not have any youth who can fill that role? Surely spending that on a cb is more important?

Our center backs are actually not that terrible. I am hoping Bailly will come back after a decent pre-season. He was very good before his big injury. Right back is our most critical position to sort out in my opinion.

Right back, Center back and central midfield in that order.

Wan Bissaka, De Ligt and a couple of decent center mids would be my dream. Where we are going to get those is anyone's guess though.

AWB I get although i think its too much but De Ligt for me just seems a ridiculously expensive transfer for a lad who hasn't really done it outside of a Championship standard league...and thats being generous.

I have to agree about de ligt it's a massive gamble think he'll end up at Barca anyway

chroniclard · 9 Jun 2019 at 18:47

No chance of De Ligt at Utd. He will end up at a big side.

Of which United are. Comfortably the biggest side in the premier league.

Shamikebab · 9 Jun 2019 at 19:02

99% de ligt goes to Barca, been like that since the start of the window. All the delay and talk is just Ajax trying to force Barca's hand and them not wanting to pay the price after being after other big targets.

Looking forward to a few on here eating their words about his quality in a few years time.

With no champions league, a manager with no pedigree, a board in turmoil, a divided dressing room, an not much of a prospect of a return to previous heights for several years. No chance of De Ligt.
