Other clubs' transfers

[gbandit]

No chance we’re throwing round those numbers just yet

€100M isn't that much more than €73M...

He's a Newcastle fan, so think that is probably just a passing comment. 

[TheBrownBottle]

He will be well above our capacity this window I reckon.

 

I've noted that we haven't had much speculation re budgets yet.  I like seeing how wrong Luke Edwards can be - anyone seen any made-up budgets yet?

I think the problem for me is that they’re obviously not implementing a comprehensive recruitment process that has the main objective of making the team as good as possible. 
 

If they were, they would have a mixture of players from all over. 
 

Also seem to be restricted to Portuguese speaking managers, which is a problem for similar reasons.
 

If it just so happened that all the players they signed were Brazilian or Portuguese, then OK.  

Aye. The club has become a player market/frm and a cashpoint for a powerful agent.

 

Letting go of the likes of Coady, Saiss, Gibbs-White and replacing them with Portuguese speaking or Mendes players feels like the final coffin. They seem to have a decent academy and are bringing through a few prospects but I understand why Wolves fans will feel out of touch with the club. There's also a serious lack of ambition. Stay in the league - hoard average Portuguese players, become a springboard for the better Portuguese players

Chelsea is my guess. The disgusting cunts. If the rumoured bid is true.

David Fofana to Chelsea

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

Chelsea do seem to have a limitless amount of cash like.

 

Even if just look at their spending on young talents:

Chukwuemeka - £20m

Andrey Santos - £20m

Slonina - £12m

David Fofana - £12m

 

 

[GeordieDazzler]

They’ll tear up the u23 league and then get loaned to Vitesse. Then leave and look half decent somewhere else. They’ll be well compensated though.

Looks like Messi is staying at PSG.

 

At least it’s not MLS. Personally I would’ve liked to see him go win a title in a new league, but no one will pay him like PSG. It’ll be great to see him take Cristiano’s CL goals record anyway.

[ponsaelius]

It'll never happen because he seems to want to maximise his income but a spell at Newell's would be amazing. Especially now he has fully won over the Argentine public.

Ours was at least a market for French players - not just hoarding them because of an agent

I have no knowledge of their football but would joining one team not possibly annoy fans of rival clubs?

 

Or would having the goat in their league just supersede that?

He’s a Rosario boy and they were his first club.

Man United apparently didn't need one.

It's widely reported that Penaldo will join Al Nashr for US$170 Million / year for seven (7) years. 2 years as player and the rest as ambassador for Saudi Arabia World Cup 2030 host bid.

Apparently not.

think we were linked last Jan

 

 

 

[gbandit]

We were, quite a bit in the early part of the window

[Minhosa]

West Ham also bid for him last summer I think. He's one I'd have loved at NUFC.

[The Prophet]

Ah Chelsea those cheeky chappies at Stamford Bridge. Backed by JP Morgan and the Bank of America, splashing over a quarter of a billion on first team players and hoovering up every youth prospect going. They're good lads though, they didn't ruin football like the Saudis.
