Has this June 9th date been confirmed? The window has to be open for 12 weeks so some sources are suggesting the window opens as early as May 17th.

3 days before their semi final......🤔

Just how bad was Pogba in that first half? Closely followed by Sanchez. Shocking performances. (Cue second half master class).

Yes, but 2 would make Opare.......

I think that commitment was for the Summer window. The January window is another thing entirely and there is no way we should consider selling him mid-season. They should make a statement to say he will not be sold in this window and then reiterate to him that he can go in the summer if the right bid comes in. The right bid for someone of his age and talent with 2 years left on his contract is now way north of £50m in the post Neymar/Van Dyke world.

Agree. He looks a bag of nerves.

Think we might all be back here in January El Che.........

You need weeks to negotiate with Sporting's President not hours. We could sell DD on the basis that a deal is done for Silva only for them to change their minds again at the last minute.

Exactly. He will get the chance he has been waiting for. Unless any Mahrez deal falls through and then he will be proper mardy.

....but justified.

Only in so far as £50m is close to £40m. Why do journos not understand this?

Now would be the wrong time to sell him IMHO. Sign him up on a new contract. He has improved year on year and if that continues he will be some player. If he doesn't break into the team immediately he can always be loaned out again.

"hopeful of getting his big money transfer". Big money my arris - he would be taking a pay cut to go there......
