Strike

I don't know if he will work out but really like the look of Aaron Anselmino. Worth taking the risk even at 15-20m Of all the youngster deals, I like Kendry Paez (think he could be huge) and Aaron.

Good bargain fee and hopefully he's worth way more in a year. But its a bad idea if we don't sign another attacker. I think it will be clear in the first couple of weeks of pre-season that he needs gametime at pro level before coming back to a first-team squad role at Chelsea.

Is there a GK role available at a major team? Real have Courtois back. Inter signed the Genoa keeper. Unlike outfielders, there's a smaller market for GKs.

and should include a buyback clause

Juve and Arsenal are the teams mentioned for Calafiori. Chelsea links have been quiet.

He does. And looks like the deal is signed too. The club seems to be making queries on Isak, David, Murillo, given there's the PSR deadline of June 30 coming up. Will be a while before we make the next move in the market I think.

No rumours I've seen yet. Prefer to sign Maignan. Couple of positions, we can go for experience - GK being one of them.

Mike Maignan is a great keeper. There isn’t a better keeper we can sign We should do a deal with Milan swapping Broja.

Guirassy to Dortmund confirmed.

Sign Isak. Spread out the payments over 100 years.

Scott Wilson is a known hack. Tier 4 reliability Seems to be closer to 120m according to other journos

Nothing rumour. The club has passed on Osimhen, Olise and Nico Williams over financials. But are planning a 115m + transfer for Isak. Yeah right.

Better off depositing him in the Saudi league. They'll pay the fee and cover his salary. Can't see Inter, AC or Napoli doing that

Anyone watched how he was in this game? Scored the winner in a 1-0 win

Good grab to get a Barca kid at that price. Hopefully there's another senior striker also coming

Yep, that he is on the market at all is a sign.

June 30 deadline approaching. Didn't look like there were clubs lining up to pay that fee for Maatsen.

Even I like the financials but I am sure people said there's no downside in signing Malang Sarr for free and look at us now. Haven't been able to shift him for years.

It's a quid pro quo with Villa to ensure we are within PSR rules. I wouldn't get too hung up over the 19m fee. It's likely the club needed to sell someone for pure profit by June 30. And Villa agreed to come in for Maatsen at 37.5 which is also an inflated fee.

Yup. This is the case. Villa payed 8-10m extra for Maatsen and we paid the same extra amount for Kellyman. I saw the BBC main writer questioning these moves. But teams do flip academy players for profit. City - Palmer, Trafford, Bazunu last year for example. They are now paying attention because two teams are making mutually beneficial moves?

Surprising that this could actually go ahead

I agree our options are not the best. But we can't use limited funds we have on another CB. We have to roll with the options we have which are plenty RCB - Fofana, Tosin, Disasi LCB - Colwill, Badiashile + Trevoh, Alfie, Malang in reserves + Reece, Cucu able to fill in an emergency

Never considered as a serious option even as backup. Loan at best

Kellyman's fee is vastly inflated. Maatsen deal is also inflated but not to the same extent as Kellyman.
