Wonder how they’ll disguise this on the FFP accounts. Probably an Etihad condom sponsorship worth £300million/ year should cover it.Tweet

I think he's better than that. Probably not good enough for a team that wants to win the CL but more than good enough at a PL / top four level.Going from Harry Kane to Jesus would be like going from actual Jesus to that bearded wan who won the Eurovision a few years back.
He'll probably never start at City if Kane goes there. Pep also seems to trust KdB + B. Silva as forwards rather than Jesus which is pretty damning.I understand what Spurs get from that…I don’t know what Jesus gets. Why would he leave City for a Kaneless Tottenham?
That article mentions that United won't be willing to spend more than 30-40 million Euros to get Varane. That makes no sense to me if we go by what MEN have published (including Rich Fay's most recent article).United propose a Pogba Varane swap but Madrid prefer money. Madrid want money to sign Mbappe.

Value Laporte at £160m.Wonder how they’ll disguise this on the FFP accounts. Probably an Etihad condom sponsorship worth £300million/ year should cover it.
There seems like a compromise will be made then surely. They want 50 MIl euros, we want to pay 40 Mil max. Settle on 45 Mil and everyone wins.That article mentions that United won't be willing to spend more than 30-40 million Euros to get Varane.

Maybe Jesus the other way? Cue jokes...Sterling to Spurs is obviously a no go, isn't he on like 300k* a week at City?
Laporte is on a meagre 120k* pw, while Gabriel hasn't had a payrise since joining on 90k* a week
All three players would probably want a payrise to play at Spurs, so that's definitely a no for Sterling, while Laporte would be their top earner making Son cry** with Gabriel looking for similar to Son. He
*officially.
**Again.
That's again why he is the worst chairman in the league.For City, yeah. No way Levy is going to accept it.
Both Luckhurst and Rich Fay have mentioned that United had a 50-million-Pound bid rejected by Real Madrid. They're apparently looking for 80 million Pounds from us. This goes completely against everything that's being reported by José Félix Díaz and Deportes Cuatro. At this point, maybe Luckhurst and the MEN are incorrect given that no one else reliable in England has reported a bid for Varane. On top of that, Romano would have certainly been on top of the news if we did indeed make a bid.There seems like a compromise will be made then surely. They want 50 MIl euros, we want to pay 40 Mil max. Settle on 45 Mil and everyone wins.
I read it and took it as you did.Yeah I just don't read it like that, 100m guaranteed yeah, but that doesn't have to be cash. Its just that it isn't relying on add ones
Then, a player could be included.
That's such a throw away addition, the way its written, the difference between 100m or 100m plus sterling is collossal. So it doesn't make sense
Damn, that would have been a good bit of business. I'm not sold Varane wants to come here though. I doub't Pogba is giving us a glaring review.United propose a Pogba Varane swap but Madrid prefer money. Madrid want money to sign Mbappe.

I hope they do manage to keep Messi, but we won’t change the rules. We can’t have a regulation specifically for Barcelona or Messi. They are trying to reduce their total salary volume. Real Madrid have put in a lot of effort so their losses are a long way off Barcelona’s. To have Messi, Barcelona will have to reduce the salary of other players or to try and sell players.

weird to do isnt it? He would be a very good Haaland replacement next year
That tells me that Dortmund don't rate him as highly as most people. Honestly, I'm with them; I don't know if he'll become as good as some are making him out to be.weird to do isnt it? He would be a very good Haaland replacement next year
Isak already said he isn't interested in going back to Dortmundweird to do isnt it? He would be a very good Haaland replacement next year
Or they realise He wouldn't want to come back to them and their Buy out clause isn't that much of a use to them so they have have decided to monetize it when the opportunity arose for them just speculating of course.That tells me that Dortmund don't rate him as highly as most people.

A snippet of the quotes in Tweet form for the Transfer Tweets page:It is going to be massive, the loan market, this year because of finances at other clubs.
It’ll be the same, we’re talking to other clubs and, hopefully, the ideal way it works is we get all of the interest from different clubs in, look at them and sift through them to see the best fit for each player’s needs. It doesn’t always work like that, to be quite honest, especially late on when a player might only have one club interested and the choice then is just take it or leave it. But it is a really busy time and we’ve got about 60 clubs at the moment who have contacted us about various players, probably more than that actually, and that’s the task we’ve got between now and the end of July really.
The added complication this year is a lot of the [first-team] lads will not be back so the manager will take some of the younger lads on the pre-season.
[Whether the market is "a movable feast depending on various factors falling into place"]
Very much so. We have players, for instance, that the manager has not yet made a decision on whether they can go out or not. They will go on the pre-season and we’ve got five or six; well, in the case of one player, 20-odd clubs are interested in him.
They’ll be holding on and holding on but the manager will make the decisions after the pre-season. Others can also come up on the blind side. There might be players who go with the first team and the manager is thinking, at this point in time, they can go on loan but, suddenly, he sees them at close hand, and it might be one back from a loan, and think alright, I’ll keep hold of him for six months and have a closer look. It changes all the time. It really does change all the time.

Yeah, that too; he has had his best football at Real Sociedad, to be fair.Or they realise He wouldn't want to come back to them and their Buy out clause isn't that much of a use to them so they have have decided to monetize it when the opportunity arose for them just speculating of course.

I agree. Ole was clear in an interview before the summer that it was important to strengthen, but also keep our best players. That was in a direct response to Pogba. Ideally we want to keep is my guess. All depends on the contractual situation.A Varane-Pogba swap is very underwhelming for me. Real Madrid gets the better deal and easily the better player
Would you rather get Varane now, 40 million now from PSG or let him leave for free next year?A Varane-Pogba swap is very underwhelming for me. Real Madrid gets the better deal and easily the better player
Especially as we have zero depth in midfield but still like half a dozen CB.A Varane-Pogba swap is very underwhelming for me. Real Madrid gets the better deal and easily the better player
