Only because of his high price tag or you don't like him as a player?

Price tag. Not a bad player at all, but would have Davinson or Lemos over him.

Lindelöf, signed a new deal as well a couple of months ago. Benfica, would take teams to cleaners if they want to buy him.
in other news MD says we want a new Abidal, someone who could play LB/CB and we are looking at Marcos Alonso, but I obviously doubt Chelsea wants to sell him since he's a key player for them.

This is just depressing. I understand the need for a RB but there should have been better scouting to find one instead of hoping Bellerin will succeed here.

With Robert here I am not expecting anything.

Supposedly interested in Semedo of Benfica.

I read somewhere that we want to bring back Oriol Romeu ...

Agree with that. Lindelof is just too expensive for 3rd CB role he'd have here.
I believe we are seriously considering Semedo though and I would prefer him over Bellerin or Cancelo.
Those were rumours a few weeks/months ago but I doubt they were true. I just don't see us going after that type of midfielder.

Just wait and talk about it after the summer. There are approximately 1000 new rumours every day and no one knows which of them will turn out to be true.

Personally don't trust them to make the right decisions, but let's see.
Already seen that Bayern have made two and now probably their third signing in Sule, Rudy and Goretzka. Real Madrid are for sure going to try signing de Gea. City are looking after Semedo and Sidibe for their RB signing as well as Mendy for LB. Man Utd are going to try signing Griezmann. Lacazette is joining Atletico if they have their ban overruled.
Meanwhile we don't know anything, or got Bellerin rumours circulating from every second journalist based in Catalunya. Only thing we have is Bellerin's name getting mentioned everywhere, so I desperately hope we're not going to waste two months on him, losing out on other, better players, and end up with no one or paying 50m for him.

You never know what will happen in the end.
We are rumoured with Verratti which would be the right signing but it is very likely that this transfer won't happen. The only chance Madrid have to get De Gea is if he really still wants to join them. United will strengthen their squad big time and selling their "franchise"-GK isn't a reasonable option for them.
Everyone here will agree that it was necessary to sign younger players to rejuvenate our aging squad last summer. So Robert signed promising young players and only Umtiti turned out be a success by now. Denis for instance was possibly not planned but we had to sign him as he played well and raised his market value above his clause. Signing 22/23 yo old players for a club like us is more an investment into the future than it is for other clubs as our first XI is on a very high level.
Robert is a very discreetfully working director and I guess many journalists don't know much more than we do. I guess the Theo-rumours were just smoke and I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same with Bellerin. I personally don't see Robert going after Bellerin, but it might be the case that the board and the new coach both want him and Robert in the end has to accept the inevitable. We don't know who our next manager will be and communication with him on possible signings might not be easy as he might has to do his job somewhere else atm.
It is your right to mistrust them, but all we can do is wait and see what the summer will bring.
