Pretty sure it's verboten to have such dangerous ideas as this Maid, behave.
Whooops! I was thinking out loud! However, I still want other fans’ views.
What gives you that impression?
Things were looking unlikely with Bielsa, but all's good now!..
This guys valuation seems to be getting higher, seems like its going to be another White episode!..
Been talking long enough, either get him or say forget it!..

Exactly. They seem to have been trying to finalise a deal for ages. If the player doesn’t want to come there’s not a lot can be done. It would be a sickener if he signs for Leicester though!
He is a top player. You can't blame him for thinking about this move. It's a gamble. A fair one mind, but a gamble none the less.
I'd be sorry not to get Rodrigo de Paul but there's a part of me that thinks bringing in 5 or 6 new players would be disruptive to the natural flow of the team and Bielsa's system. With just a few non-regulars in the weekend's friendly we looked pretty disjointed. Admittedly the non-regulars were a level or two lower than the players we're now bringing in but I do think you can grow too big too quickly.
It could still happen. These things are complicated and for the player it's a big step for him so can understand weighing up options.
I have a feeling we may go for Harry Wilson instead. Might be wrong just an instinct.
He wouldn't have the pedigree of De Paul but could grow with the club and improve under Bielsa and might be a better fit
If it came to a choice I would want De Paul admittedly but not every recruitment move always goes to plan.

We have only bought 2 first teamers...
Rodrigo- Roofe replacement.
Koch - Ben White replacement
De paul (if we get him) - saiz replacement
That's 3 direct replacements potentially. So imo, it's not a boat rocking window per say
I think Maidin is right, the dePaul deal feels dead in the water. If he wanted to join us, he would be on board by now. Wilson would be a fine addition and we could guarantee him a lot more playing time than he gets at Liverpool. He's young and improving and looks like the kind of player Bielsa will improve. Not a bad alternative to De Paul.
Ridiculous overreaction to not being spoonfed positive news.
We may or may not sign him, doesn't look on the cards at the moment and as I said last week I'm not expecting him to sign but people are acting as though our whole season hinges on his signing. That's the overreaction.
We have enough.

On the contrary, Lubo – we've been spoonfed falsely positive news about this potential signing ever since the possibility raised its head. Newsnow was all over it, churning out clickbait on how a deal was all but done. We all use sites like that but we should take them with a pinch of salt or face ultimate disappointment.
Agree with Mike. 2 signings and a few youngsters ain't upsetting the apple cart. We've not sold or lost anyone other than White.
Got to agree with lubo.
Id be worried if he wasn’t linked to other club, means he pretty average.
Does it bother me, that he might prefer to go to juve.
Not at all, it be strange if he didn’t

Actually if you look closely at what's being written, very little new stuff for well over a week, rehash after rehash. To me this looks like it was an enquiry that someone got hold of and various sites have run with because they knew we'd keep visiting.

Well the person who broke the story (well respected itk journalist) has offered repeated updates that we are still in negotiations for him and working on a deal.

^^^^^
I might not call it ridiculous. But, I agree with Lubo.
There's tons of bollox articles out there right now.
There's every chance we'll still get the lad. Assuming
the rumours are true, and MB wants him.
I think the problem is that De Paul is a big part of the jigsaw for us in a position that's not easy to fill.
I know I'm feeling that this player is our "make or break" player in this window - anybody else will feel like a sub-standard signing after he's been put in our sights.
If we can get this one over the line, I'll feel far better about our journey into the Prem and won't be that fussed about any other signings we might make (not counting a better keeper which I think we desperately need)
Not many deals happening at the moment due to internationals
Still think it could be on myself
Go to Juve and play with one of the greatest ever players, guaranteed to win titles and play in the champions league. If they really want him, he'll end up there. Just hope we have a few more targets of his quality.
