Official: Ajax have purchased Steven Berghuis from Feyenoord.

Berghuis will sign a 4-year contract.
So do we call Feyenoord a joke and a feeder club, or is that reserved for Germany?

Yea but we’re a family club and selling young players isn’t the United Way!
A quick google of Manchester United Academy Transfer Sales debunks that idea. Chelsea also has as much and sometimes more academy players in the starting XI as Man Utd. It is just good business to sell players that will not make it to the starting XI or even rotation. Also beneficial to the player to play a starting role for another club rather than spend a career on the bench.

Angelino, Harrison, Sancho sell on, Ilic, Herrera, Braaf, Nmecha. If Grealish signs then Bernardo leaves, if Kane signs then Jesus is likely to join Juve. That should be around £180m from sales.
Yeah, you have mentioned lot of fringe players. Just tell me how exactly are you going to raise 100m via sales. Be more specific please.

I was being sarcastic. It’s a position we like to adopt which I don’t disagree with.

Due to the Premier League's FFP rules, Everton have to be more careful with their finances and have to sell before they can buy new players.

The players:
  • James Rodriguez (1 year left)
  • Andre Gomes (3 years left)
  • Bernard (1 year left)
  • Fabian Delph (1 year left)
  • Yerry Mina (2 years left)
  • Cenk Tosun (1 year left)
Also, Benitez wants to keep Moise Kean, but the player prefers a permanent move back to PSG.

Everton's potential transfer targets:
  • Denzel Dumfries
  • Max Aarons
  • Kalidou Koulibaly (keen to work with Benitez again)
Benitez on Everton's summer plans:
Who would have thought that collecting Madrid's and Barca's garbage wouldnt be a great idea? couldnt be known bad luck.

They accumulate every new managers shite when they come in, get some big clubs cast offs they buy into the hype get bored and then the next manager brings his lot in. They’ve still got players harking back to the Moyes and Martinez’s era. Must have had about 6 managers since them two aswell.

We have reached an agreement in principle with OGC Nice for the transfer of Melvin Bard.

You could if you wanted I guess. But it would be a bit weird considering this is the first time Ajax have signed a player from Feyenoord since the mid 90s.

I guess this means no Dalot to Milan?
Not necessarily. Ballo-Touré plays as a left back, and given how raw Pierre Kalulu is, there's still a chance that Dalot could go back to Milan. Still, this does make Dalot less valuable given that now he won't necessarily be a second left-back option for them.

Juventus have offered Sassuolo a proposal similar to that of the offer they gave Fiorentina for Chiesa: a loan with a purchase obligation of 30 million Euros. Sassuolo would like a different offer to satisfy their 40-million-Euro valuation.

Why do they keep doing it is a mistery, the only one I can think of that has turned out to be a good deal is Digne, besides him all the others are shit.James Rodriguez, Andre Gomes, Mina, Deulofeu, etc

Are they just avoiding giving the player a new better deal with that loan scheme? Instead of paying €75 000 a week, loan him for a year on his current €40 000 a week, and sign him for five years in 2022. So they basically have him on a 6 year deal and the first year he hasn't been given a bumper contract. Is that what they're doing?

Or just some next level financial planning, where you know for sure you'd have to pay so much and you start saving money throughout the upcoming campaign.

You do wonder though how much it really means when he wasn’t involved at the business end of things.

His minutes don’t even add up to one 90 after the group stage for the CL win. Runner up means very little too.

So basically, the same number of trophies with him being a non-factor in the business end of the major one.

It’s just another way or looking at it.
