I'd rather sign Sorloth or Vlahovic than have either of them start against Arsenal or City. Gonzalo needs to go somewhere and play without being looked at as a narrative bandwagon.
The way football is played now the individual quality is arguably quite interchangeable. Even the Olise transfer feels to me like he's really everything Koman would have been if he could have stayed healthy. A fantastic player for what it's worth, but to me it doesn't move the needle as much as finding a recipe that works for all players on the field.

But not many people are worth so much. I am intrigued
🚨🚨 BREAKING: There is another player on Real Madrid's list. His value is €150m, and it is likely his club sells him.— @JLSanchez78 pic.twitter.com/FYPIpcP6UV— Madrid Universal (@MadridUniversal) June 7, 2026 It better not be freaking Alvarez. As if we dont have enough of his ilk already in the club
I absolutely love Alvarez, fantastic player. Somebody would have to go though. He can do everything. Can't say how much I like the player enough, haha.
Not worth that sum and not needed honestly. He is exactly the same player he was at City. You could argue he was better then. Just 2 years older. He was sold for 75 ME, we cant honestly think it is sane to offer double that much. Would be terrible business.
Bernardo and Mateus going by other reports. 🚨 BREAKING: José Mourinho has asked Real Madrid for TWO MIDFIELDERS:- Creative midfielder- Defensive midfielder@diarioas pic.twitter.com/h2iYUawaDf— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) June 7, 2026
Are the rumours true then that Tcho might be moved on or are we getting Fernandes for back up? I mean he'll cost us as much as Tcho did? https://www.squawka.com/en/comparison-matrix/?compare=e7D4a_nCKRg8R_aKUAbTJ Interesting player.
Can understand why City are going all in for Anderson. Interesting matrix. Looks like their strengths are different. So it'll depend on what the respective clubs need. If we get a creative passer then we could definitely keep ahold of Tcho who is very good defensively. If we want someone with a mix of everything then some of the other ones on here are better choices. I am for getting a creative passer. Casemiro was a terrible passer and worse under pressure but he was a pure destroyer. Paired with passers he showed his qualities and we were better off. Honestly given how porous we are we cant let go of players who are defensively good.
We don't necessarily have to sell CMs for Bernardo and Mateus to come in. We haven't signed CMs since Kroos and Modric left. Ceballos has no role and maybe Mou doesn't count on Camavinga either.
Incredible player. Can finish, high IQ, works hard and knows how to play team ball. I'd love this signing.

These Mourinho "requests" are so funny. I've noticed for a few weeks now we see reports "Mourinho asked for..." and it's the most basic logical thing of all time that everybody understands about the team but it's somehow sold as if Mourinho is the master mind behind this revelation.
Which fits perfectly with the reason the club hired him as a lightning rod that presents this all in/head in charge figure that rules over everything.
It's also an indictment of the club management that fans are desperate to see them grant these most logical thing of all time to a coach because they wouldn't even sign a CB or RB on loan after 3 ACLs when Carlo asked. Haven't signed a CM despite Kroos and Modric leaving.
