Arsenal back in for Konsa. Think he’ll probably go.
If Watkins goes too, it will be very interesting to see what/who we can bring in, if we can, to replace them. They must both want to leave, otherwise we wouldn’t be in discussions, surely?
2 signings today, possibly 2 more known to be coming. If we do lose Konsa and Watkins we will surely need to replace with like for like at least as positions go if not the quality from day one.

Deal agreed. Really worried about the start of the season now. Our spine has been ripped apart. Still in Unai we trust.

That's roughly £100M to replace them both (we paid roughly £40M for them & had their peak years). If we spend all of the £100M (if we get £50M for Watkins, literally in last few mins Konsa going for £51M), we'll be sitting pretty.
If Watkins was to go, wonder if that would make Endrick think of coming to us as our 1st choice No9. ?

Should Utd be worried about having a completely new midfield 3 if they sign Baleba? (which weakens Brighton, who we play 1st) & what of Citeh without Rodri & Reijnders? I can't wait for the new season. We look more set up to play attacking football rather than that tedious cat & mouse passing round our penalty box crap.
I'd only be worried if Saudi came in for SJM. He's the heartbeat of our squad. We're gonna be ok, guys. ?

Baleba is out injured, I believe.
