Ooh, interesting signing. I think he'll fit in well in Brighton's setup, and he'll offer them the passing out of the back that they need. Either that, or he'll be like Dan Burn and play as an old-school full back.Tweet

Consider the context in this case. When Man. City started going after him, Valencia were in dire need of money and looking to offload players to make up for it. City went in and got him on that basis. Other teams don't necessarily need a talented yet unproven winger, and we probably weren't going to pursue him once City came in (Ferran would have rejected us anyways to play under Pep).Thats how much we paid for fecking Daniel James, feck me. That english tax is stupid. Ferran is a really exciting prospect, while James is...fast.
Am I the only one who thinks it's a bit rich of Benfica to be indignant about false stories linking them to players? Seems strangely familiar...Announcement: Benfica denies any interest in Edinson Cavani (note: he was strongly linked to them by various media outlets in Portugal).

I remember when he was the subject of much hype coming through at Ajax, although I never got it - he was a centre half built like a school girl. Imagine him having a £900k clause in his contract. There was a point Ajax could have fleeced someone for much, much more.
Same situation as us with Sancho, all about negotiating structure of the payments no doubtFalk reinforcing Romano's update on Havertz:

So much for Chelsea's smooth transfer operation.
Exactly, there's no difference between them, yet we'll still appear to be the ones having a tougher time with the transfer.Same situation as us with Sancho, all about negotiating structure of the payments no doubt
Proof though it's only quick and easy when there's a release clause
Banter postMan City have a proper recruitment department. This is what it looks like.
Pep ruled out Sancho ages ago and this guy will probably be just as good if not better.
If you wish really hard, maybe.Man City have a proper recruitment department. This is what it looks like.

Yeah, definitely! Bravo, Mangala, Stone, Cancelo, Danilo, Mendy for about 250 million wouldn’t ruin any other club for the forseeable!Man City have a proper recruitment department. This is what it looks like.

Still, tell me one english player under 30 which starts for anyclub who you can get for that amount? English players are way overvalued, if we want to maximize our budget we should star clear. Unless is someone special as Sancho of course.Consider the context in this case. When Man.

You always have to consider the context in different situations; there are no absolutes when it comes to football transfers. Technically, I can name tons of English players, but you probably wouldn't find them useful for United. Daniel James is one of them (British, not English, but still relevant), and people aren't giving him a chance. Ferran Torres also won't be starting for City anytime soon; he's nowhere near any of Mahrez, Sterling, or Bernardo Silva in terms of productivity and consistency.Still, tell me one english player under 30 which starts for anyclub who you can get for that amount?

Why? Ole is not responsible for negotiating transfers.This transfer window will be Ole's first real test.
Pep ruled out re-signing a player he let go for peanuts a few years ago? Shocker.Man City have a proper recruitment department. This is what it looks like.
Pep ruled out Sancho ages ago and this guy will probably be just as good if not better.
Soon after Romano published his article about Oblak, he reminded eveyrone that Atletico have no intentions on selling him. This means that Chelsea can only pay the release clause amount (120 million Euros) or tap him up.Chelsea are also looking for a Kepa replacement
- Targets: Onana, Oblak

We can safely rule out Oblak to Chelsea, now. Onana is still probable, however.Chelsea have contacted Atlético Madrid about the availability of Jan Oblak, though it is likely that they would have to meet the Slovenian’s €120m release clause.
That is blatantly about Thiago to the scousers and Kabak & Van Dijk would ne some partnership too.
The Christian Falk reference is, yes. Regarding Kabak, I doubt Schalke would let him go given that he's a key piece for them. Also, Kabak hasn't expressed his desire to leave the club at this time, so this won't go too far for now.That is blatantly about Thiago to the scousers and Kabak & Van Dijk would ne some partnership too.

Yes the key to it not being such a big deal selling Degea for me isnt so much Henderson but more we have such a good number two so its less of a risk. Dont see it happening at all thoughYeah, I'll be honest I don't know what to do with De Gea. We can't keep De Gea and not play him on those wages. We can't also have Henderson and Romero. I like the idea of selling De Gea because even if Henderson has some struggles we have Romero who can come in. It's not like De Gea hasn't cost us points.
I also feel like De Gea is the most settled he has ever been and yet at his worst in terms of form. Herrera left already and Mata is on his way so he could be the only Spaniard left at the club. David Silva also leaving City and you would imagine they might socialise.
That is true, but only really for the last 3/4years when Rashford was the first to break through and a few have followed. There hadnt really been any good ones before that for quite a while really considering our history of youthI think it's due to the calibre of the players we are after. We have a lot of promising young players coming through the academy.

NO, I think he is a very good player, can play out wide or up front big, strong, fast, works hard, good in the air, good technique, decent finisher.......despite all that though, they paid a fortune for him and I cant imagine him being sold for less than £65-70m and tough I really rate him, that is just too muchAm I the only one who likes/rates Richarlison?
I feel he'd be a good addition to many a team, deceptively technical for a work-horse type style.
Totally agree on Richarlison, very good player who is strong in all areas pretty much but not a £70m player.It is a concern admittedly, but surely there has to still be a player in there a t that age. It would be a pretty inexplicable fall from grace otherwise.
He is great, but at the price Everton would sell for, he would have to be a big sides marquee signing. Everton won’t be accepting 50-60 million anytime soon.
We are the perfect move for him in my opinion and he is also the perfect signing for us. £50m odd I genuinely think would be looked on as a steal in a few years time. I really really want us to sign Sancho AND Grealish but I think Camavinga is the one player I would sign instead of Grealish if it comes down to it, we are woefully short with just Matic there at the momentFor lack of a better Tweet, here are quotes from Rennes president Nicolas Holveck on Eduardo Camavinga:

This was from an interview with RMC Sport. More reliable Marca article
Dont buy it myself. Dortmund have always been more negotiable than Bayern, that is a Bayern type of stance. I dont think we will get much of a reduction though, maybe down to £97-100m, I think the deadline is important for us with such a small break before the season starts to get it done anywayTweet

He spews some rubbish but I have also seen him get a lot of information correct regarding German football, not that I believe this one thoughI remember this dude spewing a lot of negative stuff during Kagawa and Mhiki's transfer.
He is irrelevant and has no source.
I like Eriksen and think he was great for Tottenham in general. I was just trying to think of a “smarter” transfer than Grealish.Totally agree on Richarlison, very good player who is strong in all areas pretty much but not a £70m player.
Eriksen I disagree on though personally, 28maybe he has actually peaked and I know will get slaughtered as he is of course a good player, but for me, I always thought he was massively over rated being mentioned as one of the premiership greats often. For me he was a clever technical player but definately not a stellar player for the premiership, would never have signed him personally and certainly not now.
Agree with the orignal poster about costs of English players and regardless of the context, other sides are doing great deals price wise with bargains, we havent for a long time, Daniel James is just another example of one of our bargain signings that simply isnt very good, he wont be a top player for me at all.You always have to consider the context in different situations; there are no absolutes when it comes to football transfers. Technically, I can name tons of English players, but you probably wouldn't find them useful for United. Daniel James is one of them (British, not English, but still relevant), and people aren't giving him a chance. Ferran Torres also won't be starting for City anytime soon; he's nowhere near any of Mahrez, Sterling, or Bernardo Silva in terms of productivity and consistency.
Even without the clause and corona, he is probably the most wanted keeper in the world. When you look at the fees paid for top keepers in or league, no way he would go for less than £75-80m anyway. Like Romano but its almost a nothing story, of course they wont want to sell him and of course it will take a massive fee to do soSoon after Romano published his article about Oblak, he reminded eveyrone that Atletico have no intentions on selling him. This means that Chelsea can only pay the release clause amount (120 million Euros) or tap him up.
