Transfer Rumours Summer 2020 Transfer Rumours

Which reminds me I have 4 or 5 invites for money off the Athletic. PM if anyone is interested - think it gives 40% off .

 

Same here, I have 5 codes that will give a 30 day free trial each.
Happy to share if anyone wants them.

 

I remember you posting some of it around the time the title was confirmed.

 

I think we could have got Walcott, if we’d been willing to match whatever Everton were paying him.

 

If you believe the sun then were after Danny Welbeck for 5 million.

 

welcome to Friday

 

If anyone believes the sun do they want to buy some magic beans?

 

Thank **** we didn’t

 

Why am I underwhelmed? Could it be that Shane Long has scored more Premier League goals than Welbeck. OK he's 3 and a bit years older but spent 3 seasons in the Championship..

 

Located up here in the Midlands, the delusion of the Billa fans and supporting press is hilarious.
Anyone read the article about a Villa buying a Danny Ings for £18m? They are getting excited by this complete guff

 

Why would he go to Villa!?
And why would we sell him for less than we bought him for when he's just had the season he's had!?

Whoever believes that is missing something upstairs.

 

I mean, in a world where Harry Maguire fetches £80 million, a striker like Danny Ings would by any logic have a price tag north of £150 million.

 

Interesting when you see playees like Lewis Dunk sign mew deals at clubs like Brighton. He has had interest from huge clubs yet Brighton can get him to sign a new deal - makes you wonder why we can't do similar with any of our players.

 

Because Brighton have offered him a huge wage.

 

Kind of my point. We wont pay an extra £40k per week to someone we know is our best player - yet we will sign someone for £16m (Hoedt/Lemina/Elyounoussi/Carrillio/etc) and give them a 4 year deal on £60k a week.

It is not only a bad football decision football-wise but we end up with unproven players that cost more.

Admittedly this was largely caused by Les Reed & co - this is more me venting frustation rather than moaning at current events.

 

Maybe they have offered him a new deal and promised to let him go in a year. This way the club gets a decent fee and the player earns more money whilst agreeing to wait a year.

I don’t know, it is just a suggestion

 

I think hes a good defender, but top 4 and playing European football , drop me out.

 

I'm hoping for the Arsenal lad Balogun. Looks the real deal with good resale value.....Welbeck it is then.

 

Agreed. This happens quite often and I remember van Dick (intentional spelling) signing a 5 year contract when we knew he probably wouldn’t stay any longer than the next 6 months. I think some players/clubs do this whereas some players want a massive signing on fee and high wages paid to them by being a free agent.
