On the positives he would be coming to a coach who already knows his quality and how to play him.
I like it that he is two footed, which tends to give defenders more of a problem.
I would suspect he will have a lot of clubs interested.

Quote from: sunburywhite on July 22, 2026, 09:44:35 PMHe reminds me of Paulinho if he was a center forward

I dont think I have ever been so excited about us being linked with a player like him

that comment sounds good enough for me sign him TK.

Paulinho was a striker.

Paulinho was a striker.

Coincidently he also had a spell at Spurs, just like Joao.

The "report" on Sky is playing down our chances.

The suggestion is that Mourinho (perhaps understandably) wants to wait for Endrick to return to training before making a decision. Apparently that is not until next week, so you would think it would take at least a couple of weeks to sign Gonzalo 'if' Mourinho decides to let him leave.

Whilst I think he would be a great signing - my preference would be to sign Balogun, as this would appear to be an easier signing to get done quickly, albeit for a higher fee.

yeah ok but what about Sadiq khan ?

RAY Rock · July 23, 2026, 02:44:34 PM

Don't know why people jump the gun a whole dedicated thread to a player that is staying at Real Madrid. We have 2 strikers that scored 1 goal all season between them and we are scratching around for youngsters from Real Madrid who aren't available 😂😂

Bassey the warrior · July 23, 2026, 02:56:47 PM

If The Athletic reported the story then we're definitely speaking to Real, but that doesn't mean we'll succeed. Lots of journalists chat nonsense.

This part is key:

"Sources with knowledge of the situation indicated Madrid had decided months ago that Garcia would leave this summer — but the process was put on hold after Mourinho's arrival as the new head coach wanted to see the striker in pre-season. The Portuguese liked the player but is not able to guarantee a prominent role in the team next season as it stands, leaving the choice on his future up to Garcia."

So Moaninho didn't say he doesn't want him, more that he can't guarantee much game time.

Stop jumping the gun, how do you know they're not available??

Bracken White · July 23, 2026, 04:54:48 PM

Well Real Madrid have said he's not for sale, so sadly that's that.

In this case probably yes.

Deal off... back to the drawing board...

We will have to wait another four weeks for a signing.
