Who?

He's scored 8 goals in 20 La Liga appearances this year, which helps Sociedad to sit in 6th place. Last year he scored 11 in 34 appearances. Not exactly taking the world by storm.

Spurs should know better than to try signing another player called Willian.

[Baddar]

He's averaged a little more than one every 3 games for Sociedad which is alright, but if Spurs are paying anywhere near his €70m release clause, they're paying too much.

Can't remember source but supposedly Spurs offered €25M, they want €50M. I think if they go past €35M they're silly.

[Baddar]

I'd go along with that. 

Not that United are decent with money.

I heard we wouldn't pay 30 for Piatek, so it'd be weird to pay 35 for Willian Jose. 

That said, it's abundantly clear Mourinho's playing style (if you can identify one at Spurs yet) is based around having a proper no.9, who can hold the ball up, is good in the air etc - and with Kane out, we probably need to back him and go and buy someone. Sadly, Jan is never the time to do that - so eh, let's see.

Rumours in Spain say they asked more than 50.

Anywyay, Willian José was scoring enough for Real before the manager change last season. With the new manager he's on a time share with the backup. It's not like he's scored those goals in 20 full games. He rarely plays 90 minutes and that's why he wanted out (it's not like he's going to get that with Mourinho anyway). He's tall and strong and that helps him hold possession, wait for his teammates and get them chances. I think their fans liked him.

Having said that, I think that is way too much for him and they'll be happy if they get 40M after paying 6M for him.

 I'm sure they could find someone better for 30M.

Dani Ceballos is talking with Madrid about cutting his loan with us short. 

Seems very abrupt. He’s been injured and is now worried about not making Spain’s Euro 2020 squad. 

Man United would do well to try and snap him up.

United have reportedly pulled the plug on a potential deal for Bruno Fernandes. 

My guess is because they have an alternative lined up...

That or they were fucking about and insisting on apparent clauses such as winning the Champions League and Fernandes winning the Balon D'or

After years of paying over the odds for shit players, this is where we draw the line? This friggin' club.

The ol' CM/FM trick where you offer them £50m for 50 international caps, but you're also his national team boss.

Brighton have signed Mooy from Huddersfield permanently.

We've signed Valentino Lazaro. Whoever he is.

Better than Atsu then. Excellent.
