I think in fairness to the chap the journos annoy me a bit with that sort of stuff because in truth its not really important as he's the one with us now so actually he topped the list of players that we wanted for the price we were willing to pay and who wanted to join.The Athletic mention we did make an offer for De Gea over the course of January, along with Ramsdale and Kelleher. Can’t fault the ambition in that department. I wonder how far up/down Sels was on the list of keeper targets.
It seems like we went shopping in Harrods with Lidl money so offering the scousers £15m for a player they rightly or wrongly value at £25m for example is more for the journalists to speculate about than useful but...
Personally I would have been way more disappointed to sign Kelleher for massive money because he has never seemed to me to be any better than Matt Turner, except for playing behind a defence with Van Dijk et al in it.
De Gea is an odd one because he's not played in an age and will have had offers from everywhere so it's hard to know what the hell he actually wants. Ramsdale would be good, I think he's better than Raya (Who I think is on loan) and I bet he thinks he is as well so probably doesn't want a move.
