Villa have agreed a deal for Leon Bailey, quite a good player, surprised he’s joining them. Presume they’re using the potential Grealish windfall to get him.
As soon as he made up with the Jamaican FA it was a matter of time before he left Leverkusen, since a large part of why he was there was he was able to commute in from Genk as he was trying to qualify for the Belgian team
Really weird that they've announced it before agreeing terms with the player. Must be very confident of getting it over the line, I guess.
Their medical team are in for quite a shock when it's announced he's signed for Saltypool while they were waiting for him to arrive
Roma are after Xhakahahaha?? Further proof, as if any more was needed, that Mourinho is a footballing cretin.
They can easily afford both, I don’t get why people think it’s one or the other. You only have to go back to last summer and see how much Chelsea spent on all those players. No reason why City won’t match that this summer. The Kane deal will happen once the league game is out the way.
Mainly because they keep pretending they're broke, hence their repeated attempts to publicly dictate terms that are downright insulting to everyone but the most clueless diehard who thinks that The Sheikh Mansour Team are entitled to everything they want Same can be said for their latest round of nonsense about how the fee will be offset by player sales, even though a cursory look at their sales this summer says that unless they play on buying Aurier or Carter Vickers there isn't anyone in our squad they could buy whose fee would be offset by player sales...oh wait, they already spent that on a bunch of South American teenagers
A few sponsors will conveniently appear on demand to boost their income for FFP purposes. Abu Dhabi Paving & Decking just invested £200M to sponsor the floodlights for a season I hear.
