Brentford fans react to reports Josh McEachran has joined Sheffield Wednesday for pre-season training https://www.sheffieldwednesday.news/fan-views/brentford-fans-react-to-reports-josh-mceachran-has-joined-sheffield-wednesday-for-pre-season-training/ Brentford supporters are reacting to reports one of their former players has joined Sheffield Wednesday for pre-season training. According to the Star, the midfielder Josh McEachran flew out to Portugal on Friday and was due to take part in the Owls’ Saturday morning session. McEachran – who came through the ranks at Chelsea, a couple of years below the Wednesday midfielder Sam Hutchinson – was among the players released by Brentford at the end of last season. And the Owls have already agreed a deal to sign another of those, the right-back Moses Odubajo. Whether or not McEachran will follow remains to be seen, however. And the 26-year-old’s chances are likely to hinge on how well he performs in the coming few days. But according to the following Brentford fans, their Sheffield Wednesday counterparts should not get their hopes up…

they truly are Villa also paid £12 for Ezri Konsa at least he is a decent ball playing CB and is only 21

Mings is shit, a big tall goon with little skills and a bad temper Villa are mad to hitch their wagon to him

lololol, Aston Vill paid £21m for Tyrone Mings!!! wtf madness if he is worth £21m, Happy is worth £50m plus

OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL: Juventus sign CB Cristian Romero for €26 million, loan him back to Genoa Now you see him, now you don’t! (But hopefully we see him again soon.) https://www.blackwhitereadallover.com/2019/7/12/20687286/official-juventus-sign-cristian-romero-genoa-2019-serie-a-summer-transfers-team-news Back when the rumors of Juventus’ interest in him began the first couple of months of the 2019 calendar year, Cristian Romero made it be known that moving to one of the biggest clubs in the world was the end game. There were the two Spanish giants, Barcelona and Real Madrid, mentioned, which isn’t all that surprising from a South American. Manchester United, while not exactly in the current state of domination as yesteryear, also got a shout. But the fourth team that Romero mentioned is the one that he has just signed with. Juventus announced Romero’s long-anticipated move to Turin on Friday, with the 21-year-old center back putting pen to paper on a five-year contract. The transfer fee, one that wasn’t exactly a locked down figure in the weeks leading up to the deal, is €26 million that Juventus will pay Genoa over the span of the next three years. The kicker in this deal, one that was basically bound to happen and expected for months, is that Romero, who has one season under his belt in Serie A at Genoa, will head back to the club that just sold him to Juventus to spend the 2019-20 campaign on loan at the Marassi. if they get de Ligt, there is there starting CB tandem for ages eventually

and just have one word to say about Nicolò Barella to Inter FUCK

SHIT been tracking him for ages, wrote him up here last season my fucking 'maybe they will be available in summer 2020' list is shrinking like the UK's GDP will after Brexit poor man's de Ligt

we would have had Nainggolan at 2016/17 levels (when he was 28) if we had done the deal with Roma in Conte's first year, and Mourinho wanted him too so even younger he was a beast and was injured a lot last year (hard to say if he would have been injured here, thats a time machine question) Even with missing a lot last year in the past 3 years he had 27 goals and 21 assists in 2 and half seasons worth of minutes (and Inter's style was not as explosive as those Roma teams, with whom he helped knock out a superb Barca team in the CL) He would have been a terror under Conte so would have Alex Sandro 2 of our biggest fuckups in the past 6 or so years in terms of blown buys, and would add in, from that time, Koulibaly , Alessio Romagnoli, and Bernardeschi too, just from Italy Serie A is Marina's graveyard he missed (Biceps femoris muscle injury) the first leg totally against Barca (Roma lost 4-1) and then came back and started and bossed the MF basically one armed, as they won 3 nil to knock them out also agree that Candreva would have been an upgrade on Moses, shame he wasn't 5 years younger (so the board would have bought him) then, he also was a beast back when he was younger

I would roll the dice at this point IF, after we flat out call him in and demand an answer for if he is going to sign or not. IF he refuses to answer or saws no tell Bayern £50m and he is yours tomorrow take that £50 and use it as a small part to cut a deal with PSG to buy Mbappe next year if that falls through (it 90% will, grrr) then go to Barca and do the same for Dembele for next year Demebele and Pulisic were magic together for Dortmund Dembele is streets ahead of CHO Lampard can work with Dembele and bring out his best

I would love to see him loaned out to an EPL club that will actually play him, or if that doesn't exist, then the Bundesliga, and failing that, the Championship. EPL target clubs Sheffield United (literally only one LB on roster, the totally meh Enda Stevens) Newcastle (they have only one true first team LB on the books,Paul Dummett, who is meh) Brighton & Hove Albion (if he can beat out their backup, the tepid Gaëtan Bong) Southampton FC (he could backup Bertrand)

Barcelona finally sign Griezmann, will Neymar be next? It's complicated https://www.espn.co.uk/football/barcelona/story/3899070/barcelona-finally-sign-griezmannwill-neymar-be-next-its-complicated As expected, there was a delivery at number 10 Calle Hernandez today. Just after 1 on Friday afternoon, a car will pull up outside the offices of La Liga in north-eastern Madrid -- a smart, seemingly ever-expanding building that stands above the A2 motorway heading from the capital to Catalonia -- and a man got out carrying €120m. His name is Sevan Karian, he greeted two other men, headed inside, and left. Soon after, there was an announcement: at long last, Antoine Griezmann is officially a Barcelona player. A year on from the broadcasting of a documentary called "The Decision," in which Griezmann agonised over whether to stay at Atletico Madrid or join Barcelona, only to turn down the Camp Nou club, Griezmann is heading to Catalonia after all. Within months, he regretted that decision and has reversed it. Barcelona had hoped to negotiate Griezmann's transfer, to pay the money in instalments, but in the end they have had to pay the buyout clause. They were always likely to: indeed, the buyout clause is the mechanism that has made all this possible: just as last year his clause temporarily fell to an eminently payable €100m, this year it dropped from €200m to €120m on July 1. It was an open invitation and Barcelona accepted it. Paying it took a while, which was pretty silly as they had known they were going to do this for months and had always known that July 1 was the date. Barcelona had to gather up the money, get it signed off, prepare the paperwork and then help Griezmann do the delivery -- it is officially the player who buys himself out -- but it is done. Griezmann should be able to join the other Barcelona internationals in preseason training on Monday. Before that, there will be photos, thumbs up, and a few words. A presentation is penned in, but they're not sure when. And then it will be on with work. Which takes them to the next target: another man who turned them down a couple seasons ago. Turned them upside down, more like. With Griezmann done, there are six long weeks ahead in the transfer window that might, just might, end with Neymar heading back to the Camp Nou. Which for now means: nothing. Sit. Wait. Watch. Think a bit, too. And there is a lot to think about. Think back to 2017, and the last time a massive signing went the buy-out route; to the comedy scene of a lawyer in a bowtie and a straw hat travelling round Spain trying to give away €220m -- he went to Barcelona's offices before he went to the league's but they refused to see him -- to release Neymar from the Camp Nou. Think back to the Barcelona director claiming to be "200% sure" Neymar was staying. To Gerard Pique, the same Pique who (rightly) enjoys pointing out how the media publishes fake news, announcing: "he stays". Only for Neymar to go. Think about the damage it did. It was a lot. They're still due their day in court, for a start: Neymar vs Barcelona (Neymar has taken his former club to court regarding the non-payment of a loyalty bonus). Their forward line was split days before the season started. It's easy to forget the mess that manager Ernesto Valverde inherited. And that's just the short term: Barcelona's succession plan, well, that was gone too. In pieces. Neymar was Messi's partner, but also his successor. Barcelona looked weak and really rather silly. They reacted by throwing money around. Time will tell, but so far it doesn't look that well spent. But Barcelona overcame losing Neymar. Well, sort of. Two league titles, a combined 30-plus points ahead of Madrid, were tempered by two successive Champions League disasters which weigh heavily on their thinking. Now Neymar, too, has changed his mind. He wants to come back; he regrets what he did and wants to reverse it. His best mates, Messi and Luis Suarez, would like him to return. And it turns out that Paris Saint Germain aren't that keen on him anymore. They're talking like it was nothing to do with them. "No one obliged him to come," president Sheik Al Khelaifi said, which was true. "We didn't push him to," which wasn't quite so true. PSG have talked about "commitment" to the "project", about how they don't want "star behaviour", which was pretty much what their project of signing big stars like Neymar guaranteed. For the first time, they're talking about a player, the player, being able to go. In fact, they seem to be trying to force it. Neymar didn't show for training, PSG said. And it is the "PSG said" part of that phrase that matters most. In a statement, Neymar's father responded by saying: no, he wasn't due to train until next week, and PSG knew that. This is out in the open, and a split shared is a split deepened. In all probability, this was a hand played. PSG sporting director Leonardo's words the other day read like an invitation for Barcelona to come and get Neymar at the same time as an expression of his doubt that they can, a doubt which is entirely legitimate. Barcelona don't really have the money for this. They do, though, have doubts of their own. They didn't plan for this; this is an opportunity that arose. But it is one that brings its own problems, they know. snip

When will he play this pre-season? So want to see him.
