Fairly bizarre one that.

Makes something resembling sense.

You'd get a guy who wouldnt kick up that much of a fuss on the bench. He knows the league and has played in sides used to directish type football. Reasonable enough price and someone who's worked with Mourinho before.

Bit of a headcase alright but all considered seems to make sense

Arnautovic and the phrase 'wouldn't kick up too much of a fuss' would rarely be used together :pac:

Actually I have no words

So what player are we looking at being the marquee signing of the summer for the PL and which team will sign him?

Garth Bail to probably Man Utd as that's Ed Woodward to a tree.

That's what happens when you get rid of/lose Natalie Sawyer and Kirsty Gallagher. That station is going downhill rapidly!

Talks of Fabián going to Napoli. Sickened if it's true.

Mr.Nice Guy

It will go under the radar but Leipzig did very nice business buying CB Nordi Mukiele from Montpellier. They had the second best defence in Ligue 1 after PSG and he was a big part of that. Only 20 as well. They know the French market well.

Harry Palmr

RBs Salzburg and Leipzig seem to have one of the best scouting/analytics networks going.

Will Fekir get much minutes for France during the WC?
Won't be a starter will he ?

Doubt it..

Might see more minutes with no Payet in squad though I'd say.

It’s not really, we need a back up to Lukaku with the same type of style who will be happy to sit on the bench.

Not that I agree with his signing but we need someone in there and can’t be splashing out 50m on a back up

It is given Mourinho's comments about him in the past. He's not exactly set the world on fire consistently since then too which was one of the gripes.

eagle eye

He'll resign, get the France job after the world cup and then become the successor to Florentino Perez.

Leicester looking to spend the Mahrez cash with a potential move for Jack Grealish.

I think he'd be a great buy, guaranteed to be worth a lot more after one season in the Premier league. He has the football brain and the skills to use it.

Agent Coulson

David Wanger signed a new 3 year contract with Huddersfield.

Don't think he can. You have to be a Spainish citizen.
And be mega wealthy! Wealthier that he likely is.

"BREAKING: @ChelseaFC are likely to sell Thibault Courtois and are considering entering the race for Roma talent Alisson, according to Sky in Italy. #SSN"

Lukker-

Sky really are late with everything

Lukker-

According to sky in Italy according to Di Marzio according to Kristoff Terreur

GavRedKing

Tbo himself said he'd decide after the WC, TBH, if his heart is in Madrid, hes got two choices and Real need a GK far more than Atletico.

Assuming Oblak doesnt leave Atletico.

Lukker-

I really don’t think anything’s changed. We’ll find out after the WC. He’ll wait to see how the squad is strengthened. He won’t be going to Pool regardless of what happens

One thing for sure is the goalkeeper transfer record is going to be broken a few times this summer.

It wont be for Courtois, he only has a year left on his deal.

Could still be broken for him. What is the current record?

Still Buffon, 33m I think.

It could and should be beaten once a very good GK moves.

Ederson surpassed that last summer.

GavRedKing

Buffons was higher in Euro.

I imagine due to the currency difference at the time as it was nearly £33m or €52m.

Ederson went for £35m or €40m.

Agent Coulson

GavRedKing wrote: »

£35m breaks it Chelsea could still get that for him.


Or he sets it in motion.


Courtois, Olblak, Alisson, De Gea all moving could well go for over £35m easy.

GavRedKing

The top 20 hoghset transfer fees paid for GKS include Mignolet, Begoic and Bravo and a lot of GKs from the late 90s/early 00s.

Mainly because they spent so long at one club, rarely moving and the best one usually play for one club way passed their prime.

This summer should see at least 1 being sold that break the record.

We could push for it but Ateltico or Real could easily hold out 12 months and get him for free then or call Chelseas bluff and wait until the last days of the transfer window.

Ideally Courtois would sign on for one more year and then we could sell him next year for a huge amount but his kids are in Madrid with their mother so he'll probably end up there and more likely at Real.

Marco Silva confirmed as the new Everton manager.

De Gea to Real

Courtious to Athelico
Oblak/Allison to Liverpool
Butland to Chelsea

Ya, that wor.......

Wait a minute.

I'd want Oblak or Donnarumma at Chelsea anyway if I was cherry picking GKs.

Klopp will do the decent thing and stick with Karius.Only a few weeks ago he was seemingly very good.

Honestly, it might be Karius's wish to leave. Hard to come back from something like that after getting death threats etc. Keeping is such a confidence based thing, any self doubt creeps in and you are goosed.
