If true, hopefully not the start of a decline of transfer dealings under Mr Ward… It’s his rodeo now correct?
Maybe he was the one who decided that whatever Real Madrid was offering Monaco was too high for us. If the claims are true.
Wont be the first time clubs have lost a target to another club of equal pedigree.
The structure that Edwards has set in place will yield results no matter who the main dof is.
We can probably keep a bid for Camavinga now.
So, Real will finally have their more natural alternative to Casemiro. Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Tchouameni, Valverde and Camavinga for 3 positions next season.

I wouldnt be surprised if he goes to Real Madrid. These arent the sort of signings we get to make.

Ancelotti will revert to a double pivot imo. Theres too much pressure on real to play as many forward players as possible. So might just be 6 players for 2 midfield positions.
I imagine they will kroos go this season and casemiro the next.
I find it a little difficult to believe that we would be in for a player who has an AIP with both us and Real.
We tend to want players who are in boots and all, not sitting on the fence having an agreement with two parties, making them wait whike he gets to a decision.
Regardless, there are no doubt several others who can offer something similar to what the Scouts amd JK are after.
I think we will move on and look for others… wouldn’t surprise me if none of them are on the twitteratti lists.

Real Madrid won’t pay 80 million
It’s just them bargaining now that Tchouameni has named his club.

Probably told them how much we want for Salah 
I guess this is why I usually ignore silly season.

Quite the shithouse move, you have to say.
~ We’ll pay €80m
~ Player agrees terms and journalist start calling it.
~ We don’t want to pay €80m now.
Monaco should tell them to fuck off. We should go in and offer £70m, and tell them we won’t dick them about and they get the flip off those twats.

It’s Real all over isn’t it. Probably don’t even want him and probably don’t even consider it until they made the final.

Why pay more than what they agreed with Real that Real are now refusing to pay? Assuming this guessing game is accurate.
I think we should just wait for official confirmation either way. Glad we’re competing for him though but no shame to lose out to Real Madrid, no matter how much of a cunt club it is, they rarely get beaten to anyone, particularly when talking about this sort of money.
