Barca are interested in Partey if we don’t offer him a new deal.
According to Ornstein, Mbeumo wants to go to Man United
That gives me every impression of a player who wants a big pay day but without the pressure or expectation to rise about his current level.
If Barca are serious, he's gone.Quote:

He has played in Spain already so will be comfortable and will also be able to finally get away from the silly boos & whispers.
The whispers that say he sexually assaulted his partner?Quote:

On the other hand, Barca are still a complete and utter mess, there’s still a wrangle between them and La Liga over the registration of Dani Olmo because they are in violation of the wage bill cap…so I’m guessing they’d need to sell players first
Yes it is, what's your point?Quote:

Zubimendi?
That was a done deal a few months ago remember, around season ticket renewal time. Why hasn't he been announced then?
This is a huge summer, the big one, where all the years of building and sticking to the process™ starts to pay off.
And according to Arteta's own comments "when I think about the summer window, I get goosebumps" or whatever perverse weirdness happens to him - so I expected things to be moving quickly.

I was only going by what has so far been made public knowledge.Quote:

That's not to say that we all know the players you mentioned are probably going.
Yes I think that too.Quote:

No, I don't remember. Says who? I seriously doubt the club were saying that.Quote:

Agreed, but it's a huge summer which goes on for months. There's a lot of press chatter and rumour, like every other transfer window.Quote:

Some people seem to think that football transfers are like going to the shops and getting some milk. It isn't like that. There's a lot of negotiations about how much the milk costs and how much you have to pay it to stay in your house. The milk might prefer to go to another house and other houses are trying to persuade it that it should do so.
It's complicated.
Now I guess you're going to say "well other clubs just go out and buy players" to which I'm going to respond "no they don't". I'm sure there are examples where that happens but there are lots of protracted deals with other clubs too - the main difference is you don't follow those as closely because it's not your club so you don't care so much.
TL;DR - this is a big summer for us, but that summer goes on all...well, summer. So while sure, it would be nice to have had some big deals wrapped up already that doesn't seem realistic. The longer the summer goes on the more worried I will become if we haven't done business, but right now the dust of the season has only just settled.
Utd have announced an agreement to sign Cunha - but that can't be possible according to you. (announced yesterday 2nd June - day 2 of the window)Quote:

I'm not an unrealistic man, we all know these deals can take time and there are things to be negotiated.
However, we supposedly have a clear plan with specific targets and a new director to get them acquired quickly and decisively.
But so far we have nothing.
What is the point of this thread if we can't make conversation??
