NEWS: Fenerbahçe open talks to sign Edson Álvarez, strongly wanted by José Mourinho Initial contacts took place as two more European clubs have made approach to sign Álvarez after Ajax interest Álvarez is considering his options now. No decision yet (Fabrizio Romano)

Hoping for a pivotal day in our transfer window today 🤞 If we’re letting Alvarez go on loan, I’d imagine it’s £5m+ loan fee with a £20m+ option/obligation But, knowing how bad we are at selling, would it be a huge shock if it was half that?

This was nearly two months ago, are people slightly worried yet? I'd still argue we need a CB, two CM's and a ST. We cannot seem to raise any funds for our fringe players. Will the board reach panic mode and put their hands in their pockets before the deadline?
