also, Maignan is 29 in a few days (Mamar turns 24 in late September) so no way Bo Clownlake signs him to a long term on the wages he will demand

I would take Mamar over Maignan, absolutely

absolute madness we did not buy Giorgi Mamardashvili last summer he is the best keeper at the Euros IMHO, was a monster today a 1.97m tower, so good in the air, with good feet/passing superb reflexes Diogo Costa looks like a dwarf next to him (11 cms shorter) and Costa had a sort of meh game, including his passing

it's a no-brainer in my book we almsot never buy the players I want and then get the sdaz when they blow up plus the ones i say NOOOOO on we do buy and then cry like babies when they are shit I am far from perfect, and I do make mistakes (I absolutely was not gainst Cole, BUT I never thought he would leave Citeh, so he was not on my lists at all), but on balance my targets have been better than many of the dregs we have splashed hundreds of millions on hopefully CuCu is my reverse Timo Bakayoko I thought he would work out and thought CuCu was madness, especially for the price

2 of thsoe 3 are likely not going to happen fingers crossed on J David

he looks a real baller would love this to turn into a wonder-buy like Azpi was

that 20 to 25m is euros 17 to 21m in pounds sterling

Isak will be crazy expensive and will want a huge wage packet as well

35m seems too damn high but Nico wants a shedload in wages Désiré Doué or Morgan Rogers still are in the direction I would roll

hopefully they are not watching the Euros

worse £120K PW 31.2m fucking quid tossed in the shitter for wages over 5 years

get him the FUCK out of here!!!!!

I do NOT want Murillo, hell no! ffs and £50m is MADNESS

compared to some acdemy player, of course he is more stablished than that I was simply saying Beier is far from established in terms of topflight footie, especially compared to J David

split time at DMF with Danilo Pereira the French press got on Enrique's arse about him not playing more

The Velvet Underground & Nico - Heroin

Getting David for only €20-25million (£17m to £21m) would be the steal of the window in terms of non free transfers.

Beier is hardly 'established' this is his entire topflight league career: 16 goals, 3 assists, 2558 minutes he was only 20 and 21yo last season (Nico is now 23) David, who is only a year and half older than Nico has 97 goals and 23 assists at topflight league level 121 and 33 in all topflight club comps, including CL (4 goals and an assist in 10 CL games) and Europa League (7 goals and 4 assists) plus 26 goals and 16 assists for Canada's Sr team that's almost 200 total goals produced for club and country at topflight level, all at the age of 24 (he turns 25 around 7 months from now)

if we sell Trevoh, he must be replaced after Toson the options are dire if Trevoh goes Disasi is not good enough, a terrible buy (and I said so at the time) and we really should sell Badi too thsoe two let in too many goals

CB update Bremer Leny Yoro leaving buy one of these 2 right footer CBs António Silva (but we are now likely fucked by fucking PSG AGAIN after Yoro is very likely now going to Real Madrid; PSG will target Benfica’s António Silva if they cannot convince Leny Yoro to join their project ) or Jean-Clair Todibo plus buy Riccardo Calafiori left footed I will make this prediction: If we roll with the CBs we have (and bear in mind we are likely selling Trevoh) we will NOT get CL and will be lucky to get Europa League, plus we will not win a domestic cup Colwill is fine, but we are fucked after him, especially if no Trevoh Axel Disasi shit Benoît Badiashile semi shit so far Wesley Fofana perma damaged from what I see Trevoh Chalobah Alfie Gilchrist passion merchant who is so not the answer Malang Sarr pure and utter dogshit, one of the 2 or 3 worst Cheslsea players of the past 15 years, he makes Saul look like prime Marco Tardelli no even Bo-Clownlake is stupid enough to think that group is ok

top CFs on planet by valuation bold are at Euros only one elite WC (Kane, as Mbappe si more of a winger) CF there Erling Haaland Norway not there Kylian Mbappé not a true CF Lautaro Martínez not European Victor Osimhen not European Harry Kane Julián Álvarez not European Alexander Isak Sweden not there Dušan Vlahović Viktor Gyökeres Sweden not there Ollie Watkins Rasmus Højlund Darwin Núñez not European Marcus Thuram Gabriel Jesus not European Endrick not European Loïs Openda Evan Ferguson Ireland not there Benjamin Sesko Jonathan David not European Gonçalo Ramos Joshua Zirkzee Ivan Toney

not surprised at all, but still.................. FUCK!

Clubs warned by Premier League over ‘PSR loophole’ deals Everton, Villa and Chelsea, who face pressure to comply with spending rules, have been involved in transfers and talks to buy and sell home-grown players to each other https://www.thetimes.com/sport/football/article/premier-league-clubs-trade-youngsters-psr-loophole-kl9jlj8gt The Premier League is monitoring player transfers that could be used to exploit a loophole in its spending rules to ensure they do not breach regulations about clubs acting in good faith. Everton, Aston Villa and Chelsea, who all face pressure in complying with Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) for the 2023-24 season, have been involved in transfers or talks with a view to buying and selling players to each other. The Premier League has rules about clubs being obliged to act in good faith towards each other and the league. If transfer fees were seen as heavily inflated to circumvent the PSR rules, that could potentially be viewed as a breach. Villa signed Everton’s academy product Lewis Dobbin, 21, on Sunday, while the Merseyside club brought in Villa’s Tim Iroegbunam in a deal worth a reported £9million. Talks are also understood to be taking place about Villa selling another academy product, the 18-year-old midfielder Omari Kellyman, to Chelsea, with the home-grown Dutch defender Ian Maatsen moving the other way for £37.5million. Everton are understood to have offered Newcastle United their striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin and want the 19-year-old winger Yankuba Minteh, who attracted the attention of numerous clubs while playing on loan for Feyenoord last season, to move the other way. However sources say Newcastle have reservations about Calvert-Lewin, who has had a chequered fitness record in recent seasons, and have received big-money offers for Minteh from the continent. The transfers make financial sense for both the buying and selling clubs when it comes to complying with PSR for last season before the June 30 deadline. Clubs are limited to losing a maximum of £105million across a three-season period, though some losses can be written off, such as spending on infrastructure or youth football. The entire transfer fee from the sale of an academy-raised player can immediately be banked as cash income, while the fee from any purchase of a player can be spread out across the length of his contract in a process called amortisation. Therefore, for example, if a player is signed for £10million on a five-year deal, the amortised cost for a single season is only £2million. The Premier League has declined to comment on any specific deals but other top-flight clubs believe they are within the rules, even if they are exploiting a loophole. Clubs have been made aware that charging each other highly inflated fees to circumvent PSR rules would potentially be an issue for the league. Its rule B15 states: “In all matters and transactions relating to the league each club, official and director shall behave towards each other club, official, director and the league with the utmost good faith. For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example only, it shall be a breach of the duties under this rule to act dishonestly towards the league or another club; or engage in conduct that is intended to circumvent these rules or obstruct the board’s investigation of compliance with them.” Chelsea have previously tried to exploit another loophole by selling two hotels at Stamford Bridge to a sister company for £76.5million in June last year. The Premier League had yet to approve the sale, however, ten months after the deal was executed.
