I like both. But would Neverton sell to us?
If Southampton going down, we should look at picking up both him and KWP.
Tielemens - a baller, but I'm not sure he's suited to gengen pressing.
Ramsey is an interesting shout. Reminds me of a young Henderson. Bellingham is closer to a young Stevie.
Are we talking about Villa's Ramsey? He will not be cheap either, Declan Rice would be a better value option, they want £70m but he has one year left to his contract. I rate Ramsey, but he just doesn't have the same presence as a Rice or Jude. Mind you I wouldn't be unhappy.
Michael Olise is another name we should mention.... Like Ramsey doesn't ooze presence

Bella-Gotcha is a great name for a Centreback
He looks tailor made, doesn’t he? I don’t suppose there’s a reasonable clause in his contract?
Yeah.

[article]According to Record, the Uruguay international has turned down fresh terms with Sporting that would have seen the midfielder earn an increased wage, but more importantly, bump up Ugarte’s release clause from €60m (£53m) to €80m (£70m) ahead of the summer window.[/article]
BUY!!!
Can only afford if we make up 59m in sales.
I’ve been saying it since last summer, we’ve already agreed a future price in July and it’s just the formalities.
@Beamrider do you see futures contracts in football?
Yeah. Although it won't be the first time (waiting for the "right" player, only to miss out on signing him). 🙄😛😳
But then, there were these (also quite obvious the English media has been briefed, for the news to come out all at once from different journalists):

So, who are we going to target as a "smokescreen"? I almost want articles stating we're offering new contracts to Milner, Ox, and Naby to come out just to watch the supporter base burn in fury.
Any of the 732 midfielders suggested by Bluebell, binomial?
No. Purchase options / rights of first refusal etc, but not futures (my understanding being that a future would be a committed purchase/sale, and a purchaser generally wouldn't want to commit in case the player lost form or got seriously injured).
Closet would be purchase and lend back (eg Keita, Grujic). Obviously both of those deals worked out brilliantly for us.
Indeed. All part of the song and dance. The narrative will change several times I guess.
I'm not sure what's going on. We mortgaged this season to get Jude, now I'll understand if Dortmund increase their asking price to say €150m upfront, and the club walked away. However, after Henry said the club will get funds to rebuild and he doesn't deliver, I hope fans show their discontent by protesting
The bigger question is whether Jude will come here without Champions League football. We can find the money to pay but as much as he loves going to concerts with Trent and as much a draw as Klopp is.....
