Eddie Howe has just been in Sky Sports talking about Demarai Gray. He said 'I made it clear when he was with Birmingham that I liked Demarai, but he's very much a Leicester player now and we don't talk about other club's players.'
Eddie, mate, I've spotted a problem there.
Back three initOriginally Posted by Lewis
He was one of Ajax first choice centre backs. From what I've seen (2 Europa league matches) he is fast as fuck, but I couldn't tell you much more about him. A handy replacement for the pace they lost when Walker left and much needed cover at CB I guess.
Sanchez looked like a beast when I watched him last season. Probably still a bit raw and unrefined, but the potential is there. No idea why Spurs' centre backs aren't being targeted by the likes of Barcelona or City. They're being paid peanuts currently.
£42m for an Eredivisie player of that age is lol, whichever way you choose to cut it. That's not to say it won't be a good signing but it's definitely part of football having GONE MAD.
£42m this summer is like buying a squad player for £15m a couple of years ago.
Wood to Burnley for £15m.
So basically a free transfer.
Aye. It's the 2017 version of 2008's £2.5m with addons.
Can't believe we're selling a 30+ goal a season player when we are already struggling for goals and have nobody else.
Doesn't make much sense selling Walker to City for roughly the same amount as you're paying for an Eredivisie player for the same position.
He's a centre back isn't he?
Ah, I thought I read he's a right back. Still, 42 million for an Eredivisie defender seems excessive even in the current market where you start bidding at 20 for Johnny Evans.
Sanchez is god tier. Definitely a good signing, since playing Dier in the back three could only lead to the eventual downfall of the club.
Wood has ruled himself out of playing tonight in our potentially toughest fixture this season, so he's fit for his medical at Burnley tomorrow.
Cunt?
Smart. Imagine doing an achilles and the whole thing being cancelled?
I doubt Leeds would match his potential wages if it happened.
Leeds wouldn't risk the legal action if he pulled something.
If he's still under contract to Leeds, and got injured playing for them, why would they be liable to any legal issue?
Won't Leeds have ruled him out to protect the incoming fifteen million?
I would have thought so.
That's Elland Road paid for then.
I thought your mob were excited about the new owners @Magic?
Want them out now.
I'm not sure what's more lol about the Coutinho transfer. Liverpool not accepting it, or Barcelona trying 2003 level FM chicanery with an insane amount of the fee dependent on add-ons. £40m if Barcelona win anything in the near future? Erm, no thanks. Not to mention the "Ballon D'or" clause.
It'll be £150m after they bin it against Pepe Mel's Barmy Army tonight (even though Snr Mel is no longer). Cash.
It's always going to be hard when the other teams know you've got a £200m shaped wedge in your pocket.
In what universe does this kid look 12?

I read about that. The defence seemed to be the father saying "trust me, he's 12" and everyone saying "ok sure". So dumb
A story about Leo Messi from The Sun... c'mon Yevrah, you're better than that
A 'better league'.
Magic got touchy when I left Leeds off a poll once. How many years have they been out the prem?
Because they never get anything right...?A story about Leo Messi from The Sun... c'mon Yevrah, you're better than that
It's more then one thing we're told they got wrong.
I'd love that. I reckon the only reason he'd leave Barcelona is to work with 'Pep' again, and if that happened Barcelona would be done.
Carl Jenkinson and Cohen Brammall have both gone to Arry Redknapps Blue and White Army on loan.
Bit gutted this Izquierdo chap's international clearance isn't going to come through in time for him to play tomorrow night. Anyone know anything about him?
Hopefully both he and Raphael Dwamena (????) are pace merchants.
Yeah that black lad from Bruges is frickin' awesome. May have been cos he was playing against other Belgian league Level players, but boy is he rapid. He's like if Lallana used speedhacks.
I'm a twit
Yeah, was head and shoulders above the rest of the players on the pitch when we saw him last summer.
Watched some clips of Dwamena on Youtube and he looks quick and strong, really stocky.
@Jimmy Floyd You seen him for Ghana, Jim?
I doubt his mum has seen him for Ghana.
He's scored 2 goals for them, says wiki.
You signed a guy from the Swiss Second Division? Lolz
They got promoted, I'll have you know.
Barcelona are trying to take legal action against neymar for £7.8m
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41014149
Barcelona sound salty. Neymar caught them slipping for £198m
You'd imagine a huge club like Barcelona, one who we are all constantly reminded of LA MESIA etc. etc., wouldn't be bothered to gain 200m.
I'll tell you what - it's incredible just how crap agents suddenly become when a player actual needs to find a new club (willing to match or increase his wages).
Diego Costa... Mamadou Sakho... Ross Barkley.. Markovic..... all summer, and still haven't managed to find a new club.
Tuchel to Chelsea to replace Conte apparently. Isn't half a downgrade.
If they sack Conte now (as opposed to in three months' time when we're 14th) they should all go to the gulags.
Hasn't he just signed a new contract?
In other rumour news, Barcelona have either admitted defeat in their bid to woo Liverpool's owners into selling Coutinho, or are preparing another, even dafter offer. Daft in both magnitude '£138m' and structure (£37m of never-never add-ons, just call it £100m).
They got their Neymar money up front, so just send the truck over with the cash in it and everyone can move on.
One gets the impression that, perhaps having been on the other end of the same experience themselves, Liverpool are simply going to reject anything on general principle (whereas in reality it would make more sense for Leipzig, Southampton and Liverpool if they just bit the bullet and put everyone on the merry-go-round).
A payrise but not an extension for Conte.
Liverpool should see how far they can push it. £150 million up front plus a 'tots soms scouse' card display at every home game, and renaming the academy to 'Masia, la'.
