Another player not for sale we're after...

[Marc Overmars]

Half of Monaco's team are being courted. They won't all be sold.

[Xhaka Can’t]

With a bit of luck they may all be almost signed.

This one had legs. It's the same running joke more like. I can't recall a case of the press getting wind of us being in for a player so early on in the negotiating stages. In most cases, if our opening bid hits the headlines, we've failed to land that player or speculative bullshit.

Totally agree, another one we're not getting!

Soon there will be 2 generations of players we almost signed.

Ah. Didn't think they'd be letting this guy walk out, if Mbappe to Madrid is true.

Even if a manage to match a club's valuation of said player, we still have to agree wages with the player. No point attention to who we've 'bid' for. Fact that we have no CL football next season makes this process even harder. Can't really afford to low ball players. If Vardy can turn us down I wouldn't get too excited about this summer. The club will find a way to fuck things up.

Is French Kendrick a winger? Or a winger that can play through the middle? 21 years old, 14 goals ain't bad for a first season but is he a goal scorer? Not convinced. Same conversation we had with Martial. Same conversation as yesterday. The search for a goalscorer must continue even if we sign this kid.

I really want us to sign this kid, I personally think he has world class potential and he was brilliant last season in CL for Monaco. He's a Winger/Wide forward, though is very technical so could definitely play as a 2nd striker/Ozil role.

From what I have seen of him he seems quick, fairly strong, very technical...very good with set pieces and a decent passer, he's also quite direct and has a killer left foot, he certainly knows how to finish.

I'm shocked more teams aren't after him and I'd be surprised if we get him for anything less than 40-45mill, he's easily worth that in this crazy market.

Ornstein has spoken.

Says we are negotiating for Lacazette and Lemar.
