They do, however, face competition for the player from Chelsea, though appear to have a free run at Stoke’s Marko Arnautovic, in demand following his star-turn at Euro 2016. They would like to buy Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly, excited by the chance to play alongside Phil Jagielka and like Leighton Baines, a huge fan of popular beat combo, Menswear. In theory a simple question, but not when the particular Poggy in the particular window is represented by Mino Raiola, the Marc Chagall de nos jours. In such circumstance, one can only conclude that José Mourinho is not entirely impressed with Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Marcos Rojo. The former Barcelona president, defeated in the most recent presidential election, definitely has nothing whatsoever to gain from peddling such a yarn.
