Summer Transfer Superthread

Really, that's absolutely madness.

Hazard to Real to be announced after the Europa League, can see Chelsea investing that money in two wingers.

Transfer ban until summer 2020, money will be resting in the account, unless Chelsea appeal to CAS.

Even if we got 200m, we wouldnt be able to replace him as it is and I wouldnt trust the board to do it either.

I'd be hoping that we dont buy 2 wingers anyway, Odoi is a seriously talented player and buying 2 more players to block his path would be a disaster for Chelsea, IMO.

Tomw86

Transfer ban will be appealed. I am not confident in it being successful.

Chelsea will invest the money, just the players won't move until Summer 2020 if the ban is not frozen for 1 window.

I think they will buy 2 wingers with a view to one being back-up to replace both Willian and Pedro.

Obviously a CF is the highest priority but I am not sure where that is going to come from.

Can't see anyone paying the wages James wold be looking for he has kind of of priced himself out of being a footballer, No decent side will take a chance on him ,

"Hamez" must be the biggest busted flush in the game.

Dont fully agree, he is more like a very low flush with multible players in pot with higher .
Reasonably talanted player that hit purple spot at world cub and looked a total world beater.
Think he would actually do well in italy where game is slower

I dunno Bale has told Madrid he's happy to see out the next 3 years even when knowing he's not in their plans right now.

Cantona's Collars

Andy Carroll,Nasri and Adrian released by West Ham.

Carroll only played around 130 or so games in 7 seasons. A part time footballer.

I though Nasri done well enough in his short spell with the Hammers

He didn't really, started off ok and contributed nothing then.

In fairness he was a key component of a team that won 4 Champions Leagues, a La Liga and a Copa Del Rey. I don't think he can be called a Busted Flush.

If I'd achieved everything he achieved I'd be happy enough playing golf on an astronomical wage in Madrid.

What's his incentive to move when he's won so much?

Wales getting to the semi final of the Euros is probably as far as the national team will ever get so he probably feels he has nothing left to prove.

He'll be 30 in the summer so his motivation is probably dwindling somewhat

Andy Carroll v Scott Brown. Quality.

I wouldn’t be surprised if no one signed Big Andy before the season starts and the window closes and as a free agent he can sign after the window closes.

"Sky sources" reporting that Jack Grealish is to reject any advances from Spurs to stay at Villa next season. He obviously has a much higher profile in Ireland than most players coming out of the Championship but I am interested to see how he has developed since he last played in the top flight. Highly rated for sure and appears to have matured a lot on and off the pitch, according to many UK pundits, so will be interesting to see how he does next season.

Also interested to see how Spurs go in the market this summer. Will they lose players? Will they splash cash? Do they have much to spend? Lo Celso highly linked but Grealish wouldn't have come cheap so were both actually on the cards or were Sky just adding in the Spurs link as it had been there previously?

Fitz*

Grealish is probably better of staying at Villa. Will be a guaranteed starter there next season, and club captain too, as they are back in the PL. He can try his hand to see if he is good enough at that level again.

Villa fans would crucify him if he left this summer, just after promotion. It would not be a good look for 'Mr. Aston Villa'. If they get relegated at the end of next season and he wants to leave, it will be a different story and probably be allowed leave as at least he stayed with them through the initial tough times and got them promoted again.

After a meeting with Perez, Ramos is staying at Madrid and "will retire there".

Mr.Nice Guy

Norwegian Erling Haaland, son of Keane's nemesis Alf-Inge Haaland, today scored a record 9 goals in one game against Honduras at the U-20 World Cup.

He's on Salzburg's books atm; was born in Leeds and apparently he's a Leeds fan. He worked with Solskjaer at Molde as well. Wonder if any clubs will take an interest after the tournament? He only just joined Salzburg in January so they're unlikely to be keen on selling.

If he is with Salzburg it is to play and gain experience before heading to Leipzig.

Back to Newcastle maybe? Could be a decent understudy option to Rondon.

Newcastle will be looking at far more expensive options if they have new ownership.

Madrid dont really treat long serving players all that well, just look at Raul and Casillas, they even got rid shot of one of the greatest ever players as soon as there was a bit of interest.

Ramos will have done very well if he manages to retire in Madrid before they get rid of him.

Sid Lowe (I think) had a great article last year about Ronaldo but it equally applies to any mega star on insane money, that at some stage the clubs have to look at the player and think are they getting enough for their investment of 400/500k a week, it especially applies to the older players, pushing to their mid 30's.

I reckon the same applies here for Ramos, hes on borrowed time and at some stage Real will just bin him and bring in another 20 something year old.

I dont think theres a fairy tale ending in for Ramos like he thinks there is, unless he takes a massive reduction in his wages.

If that all goes through I'm sure they'll be bringing in a lot more expensive first teamers. But they still need depth anyway, and right now have very little in the way of line-leading center forwards once you go beyond Rondon. Could do with 2 more, and with a lot more positions to fill, Carroll might be a good, cheap, fan-pleasing move for a new owner to make.

They don't really want him, and you see the problem they had paying off Conte. This way he goes and they don't have to pay him loads to do so

Agent Coulson

Bruno Fernandes who hasn't been linked with Liverpool at all said in an interview in Portugal yesterday that he would prefer to play with Liverpool over City who he is linked with.

Harry Palmr

I'm struck by the Serie A turnover. They love to buy and sell players to each other (must be money laundering )

20 years of transfer turnover stats

Luka Jovic to Madrid confirmed. No fee reported but believed to be €60-70m.

If he lives up to the hype, that will be an absolute steal in a few years time!

Madrid have already spent 200m euros or so if reports are to be believed, surely they cant afford him due to FFP etc.

If this is accurate, Juve brought in 36 players a year?

Doesn't seem right.

Three signed so far...

Jovic for €60m

Rodrygo for €45m

Militao for €50m

And they are linked with Lyon left back Mendy for another €50m.


All this before Hazard.

Maybe when they got relegated and were down a division there was a big turn over of players?

I think they have only bought one player officially as of now. Jovic for €50m.

The 200mill is likely including Mendy from Lyon and Hazard, but those deals aren't done yet.

If Mbappe became available, perhaps the Hazard deal might be forgotten about;)

Militao and Rodrygo are done deals as well

Mbappe cost 180m a few years ago. He's improved since & won a world cup so that fee is probably 280 or more now. Is that really viable for anyone??

NIMAN

I'd heard them mentioned but couldn't see them listed on any of the transfer websites, or RealMadrid.com even

Edit: I see Militao is on their website. How much did he cost them?

Harry Palmr

Liverpool will make 250m from the tv money. Sell Mig and Lallana and it's done!

Barca can sell Coutinho to Man Utd or Chelsea for 100m that would help.

Coutinho to Spurs is the latest now because of his previous relationship with Poch.

Eriksen to Spain then.

NIMAN

Thanks, found the Militao one.

Not even a photo of Rodrygo.

Backstreet Moyes

I would think Barca will be in for Mbappe or else City

Dembele, Coutinho and cash might get it done

Harry Palmr

Barca have to free up wages as much as anything - 66% of turnover which is very high for such a big club
