I hear the Camavinga interest is genuine, reported across several news outlets.
The interest in Camavinga apparently dates back to the Klopp era.
Ed001 or any of the ITKs is this realistic given the wages he might be on at Real, does he have a genuine interest in our project, and would he be willing to move?
Is he any good, combative, ball playing, creative, injury free
I watched him very few times, he has never impressed me too much.

Good player, fitness would be the Q.
An upgrade on Endo in the squad.

Have to disagree, he has been poor this season but haven't most of our lads? We have a good bit to do in the summer and potentially trying to get another centre back in seems like a nightmare, especially considering we are probably not going to get back a fully fit Jacquet until the start of next season and it might take Leoni time to get back up to speed after his horrible injury.
Add to the fact we will probably see Jomez leave, it adds a layer of complexity, Konate has effectively had to deal with a conveyor belt of right backs beside him all season, which also creates tons of room for doubt as you never know consistency beside you.
I think in general we may prep ourselves for another summer of change tbh. Looking at the overall picture we have Mo leaving, potentially Robbo and Joe too, all players who are standard setters and have been about for our period of success. You maybe add to that reduced game time for Ali and a potential change in manager/sporting director and we could once again be in for a bit of an unsure summer, especially with the added complexity of the World Cup.
Very interesting times ahead for the red men and a level of uncertainty I haven't felt around the club since before Kloppo came.

No, please, he was okay prior to two injury-riddled seasons, but still not a player I would want to target. Good presser, more than capable at filling in at left back, but he is a decent 8 who is usually stuck at the 6 without having the skill set to be a solid 6 (and before people say that's what Gravenberch is, I'd say Gravenberch is a better player than Camavinga).

I think this is where the data models are flawed. We've bought quite a few injury prone players over the last ten years, presumably thinking they represent decent value. We've never been able to fix them, though, and they've just continued to have injury problems, which has brought inconsistent form with it.
We can't afford not to get in a reliable centre mid with a bit of mobility, drive and bite.

Apologies my response was to the Konate comment down the page. ?

Overrated sicknote who is one of the toxic clique at Madrid, no thanks, if that's the best Hughes & Edwards can do, then they can take their clown show elsewhere.
07 Apr 2026 09:51:41
Didn't want to come to us when he signed for Madrid. No thank you.
07 Apr 2026 10:07:39
Agreed, VV. Totally accurate assessment.
07 Apr 2026 10:17:17
Will Alonso want him though?
07 Apr 2026 10:41:33
His injury record is absolutely insane for someone his age, hard pass.
07 Apr 2026 11:05:41
Another out of date Edwards stat buy, who has not lived up to expectations, like Rodrygo.
07 Apr 2026 14:05:15
Not physical enough, we don't need someone to do much beyond solidifying our midfield unit and shielding defence. We need some steel in there.

I wonder how many people actually noticed that you weren't making reference to Camavinga KingKev. ?

Most times I have watched him, he has looked very good even though a lot of the time he is played out of position. He reminds me of the Grav situation where Klopp wanted him, BM didn't know what to do with him and he wasn't first choice in his best position, so Klopp bought him and he flourished. Camavinga has been used in every position bar GK by RM, but put in his favoured position and coached well, he could be fantastic.
Worth a punt in my view, given his age, he would have a decent sell on fee if it doesn't work out.
07 Apr 2026 19:53:00
Would anyone swap him for McAllister??
07 Apr 2026 20:22:37
Red Jones, absolutely not. Cold hard cash, no crap Madrid cast offs in part exchange.
