It probably won't come to anything, but I think people make too much of that 'monitoring' joke. It makes sense that we tell a player that, if anything comes up, we're interested. Probably isn't worth telling the press about, but the journos who are briefing it would suggest it isn't coming from the club.

It’s really boring tbh. The second we don’t get a player that someone else has said we like it gets trotted out.

Also, it was the German press who got wind of it first. The likes of Joyce and Ornstein clearly then got a line from the club on it.

Can anyone get a line from the club?
That would explain God’s reaction that time………

Correct, this was leaked by the German press [same with teh Spanish press when it came to Zubimendi] as opposed to us leaking it to our journos

Yeah, the briefing to the press is the annoying part

Agreed. Think we all know that deals will normally be months in the making, except for maybe scenarios where there's a 'gazump'.

Like we did with Szob. But those situations require a great deal of... monitoring.

Still waiting for one instance of the club pretending they’re in for some sexy signing to garner some great PR.

The Caicedo thing was really weird, but I think we did genuinely try and sign him.

Yeah I agree. I reckon we made a balls of it and got played by his camp a little but we would have got it done if he was keen.

Although both Wirtz and Musiala play together in the national team, if they are in for him, how do they work that out between having Musiala,Olise,Sane and Kane already? 

poor bayern, however will they manager with 5 good forwards

Lá Liga is a s***e league. Be half pace after being in the Prem. Antony has been like Pele over there for Bétis.

Ayoze has 18 goals this season,  probably didn't score 18 goals in all his years in the prem all together 

[kop205]

Not arsed about the Bournemouth CB, you can't really get away with it forever in this league in that position if you can't head a ball. I'd have been very concerned if he was the succession plan. Would much rather push on getting Konate tied down, which might in a way be easier if Real have the other lad sorted early.

[Ombudsam]

Is this Huijsen the second generational opportunistic CB we are missing out on in 2 years?

Bajcetic looks good there, and Aspas a world beater

At least we aren't getting two Bournemouth defenders.

Watched the Classico for about twenty minutes and the space and pace was like something from early 00’s. 
No wonder Real do have gas left in the tank for most CL.

Can I be the first to say that Huijsen has a really annoying face

TBF one of the better defensive teams in the league 

[goodrobotusses]

The Wirtz stuff coming out in all the German press first suggests the Wirtz family wanted it very loudly known that Wirtz has other options, so HINT HINT pull your finger out and get a move on, Bayern.
