Other clubs' transfers

[The Prophet]

If Romano is correct and the fee is €60 million total package, they've pretty much got their money back for him, but it'll be great for PSR.

 surely it's not that hard avoiding buying players from direct rivals?  It's like it is not even in their thinking.

He was pretty average last season.

 

it was also hard to have him in the same side as Bailey. 
 

if he wants to go to Saudi, that says a lot about where his head is. 
 

bought for 35 plus add ons, sold a year later for 25 profit. I’d take the money. 
 

Duran is a promising kid but he’s clearly trouble off the pitch hence Emery and Monchi moving him on. That will be at least 20m profit again. 
 

We shifted two kids with a couple

of hours first team experience between them for almost £30m. Kellyman we bought from Derby’s academy for 600k two years ago and sold to Chelsea for 19m

 

Our business this summer has been spectacular. I am so impressed by the joined up thinking, we have strengthened and massively improved our PSR position. We are all over the raising funds side. 
 

More strength, more depth, PSR problems gone, money in the bank and it’s only the middle of July. 
 

 

 

 

 

And buying back the kids you flogged will sort the European squad issues.

 

Fucking Villa, man

I'd imagine the Newcastle and Saudi Pro League projects are quite siloed from each other, probably not much joined up thinking going on.

Any noise at your end regards us sniffing around for Bailey?

none at all. 
 

i think there’s zero chance we’d sell him.

I could understand if Al Ittihad had different owners but the are the same - PIF.

It's not like they're a regular company though. They're a sovereign wealth fund with a huge amount of investments falling into different portfolios. Unfortunately, domestic portfolios are always like to take precedent.

Kubo being linked with Liverpool.

Random observation, because it isn't a transfer, but it is 'other club', and let's revisit this post in May, but I am calling it now, Morgan Rogers is going to have a fucking insanely good season.

I was hugely surprised when we sold Philogene last summer, he had such a great pre-season.

 

Good to see we're not too proud to go and buy him back again through the clause in his contract (and exploiting the 30% sell-on fee, with it being to ourselves to lower the fee).

 

Impressed Emery has no problem admitting they were wrong.

[lovejoy]

Villa are superbly ran. I really hope they disrupt the order.

 

Along with us, of course.

[janpawel]

Crazy the Diaby fee, they really don't mind spending a bomb on players 

 

Well jealous of the FFP boost villa are getting 

 

Also wonder who'd they want to replace, imagine we'd be in the same market for RW.... Unless Bailey is gonna be their first choice RW

Bailey having such an insanely good season at RW last year (see my previous posts on here about how Bailey was the only player Emery hadn't improved - how wrong is it possible to be) is a big part of why we are ok with Diaby leaving.

 

It meant that Diaby had to play more centrally, and he struggled in that role. We couldn't make Bailey and Diaby in the same side work, which massively influences the decision re Diaby.

Gotcha! Heard he did well last season though can't say I watched enough to say it myself 

 

So where do you see you guys reinvesting the funds? As you have beefed up the CM slots a lot

Right back plus another option up front (assuming Duran goes, which tbh, I hope he does)

It looks like Richarlison and Jesus could be next, are we the only club getting ripped off by the Saudis?

We tried to change The Man U thread to 'The Other 19' but the mgmt team weren't having it.

Good move, can see that resurrecting his career

Although they have Barcola and Dembele, not sure if he would start?

I think Che Adams to Torino is one of my favourite random transfers for a while

Is he still running around Germany chasing shadows ?

I'm unsure how he keeps getting decent moves. He isn't a good footballer and doesn't score any goals.

[TaylorJ_01]

Only £8m bid for Thrilly Thrillmore really isn't a lot these days.

 

He's weirdly the type of player England need. I would certainly take him at Newcastle for anywhere near that price. Only 23 too.

Villa after Joao Felix for £50m. Wouldn't like that at all if it were us.
