Sky sports reporting AC Milan have opened talks with benzema opening the door for Andre Silva to leave.

Not seen much or even any of Silva but a dreadful record in Italy. If it goes through have to hope that him knowing Nuno will be of benefit as neither Leo or Jimenez are prolific.

Having watched the Man City v Borussia Dortmund game last night, I'm not that impressed with Zinchenko.

City put out an unrecognizable side, due to all their players on a break after the WC.

Zinchenko played as a LB when City were defending and a role similar to Saiss when City were in possession. He gave away the penalty which led to the only goal of a dull game. He never once played as a left wing back and seemed way off pace. In fact he never once got into the final third of the pitch, even at corners he stayed back and whereas Douglas takes free kicks and corners, Zinchenko does neither.

If he's going to be considered by us, then he needs to vastly improve in the next two games City have in this tournament. He is knowhere near as good as either of our two wing backs and I'd even put Vinagre ahead of him.

I'll be watching his next two games, as they will be show live over here.

The guy who broke the Patricio news who is a personal friend of his has said there will be a big announcement on Monday. Stating the signing is Portuguese and a friend of Patricios.

From what I've read Nuno will play him cm alongside Neves.

It's this guy.

He would be pretty handy! Stating the obvious but our defenders are really going to be tested in the prem so extra quality would be a great bonus

I said in the World Cup I would love us to sign Yerry Mina. Would be like having two Willy Boly’s.

Two Willy's, wow

Mina isn't a Portuguese international, so I wonder who tomorrow's signing is , Guedes, Silva, Martens!

It would be very exciting, he has not played many first class games in his career so would need to be up for 38 games something he does not appear to have done before

If we do get him, That would be his best position from what I saw of him. He does have a sweet left foot and did play a few good cross field passes.

Lost on penalties 5-4.

Mina could be going to Everton but wants to stay at Barcelona.

Rafa Mir off to LAS Palmas on loan.

If he's off to Spain, then it backs up my opinion as to why we got him in the first place.

Or we have a bigger name coming in and he needs games

Both Tino

I hear we could be having a Jonny coming in.

We'll have a big willy and a Jonny at the back.

Little scrapper ain't he Moutinho. Pretty happy to have him over Wilshere.

It's moutinho then for £5m on a 2 year deal.
