    I'd be fully behind a loan deal.

    Can see him going a bit Sanchez if it was a permanent deal though.

    They matter because money spent on player X is money they can't spend on player Y, and other than Manchester City everyone has finite resources.

    This is the man who with his sheer presence alone made Pickford keep you guys in the league running, and who more or less by himself took you to the CL final.

    Yeah, Bale was great for Spurs, 7 years ago, and has been decent for Madrid with flashes of brilliance, but if there was ever a prime candidate for age related performance time bomb then it's him. It's a pretty familiar tale and it seems even Madrid might be wise to it.

    And the money's not just about finite resources, it's what it does to the rest of the dressing room. There isn't a serious team in world football (there probably are some in China) where someone bowling in on triple everyone else's salary isn't going to cause friction. It's just not worth it. So either Madrid pay him off and he goes somewhere on more realistic terms, or he's staying there. I get the impression he'd be reasonably happy to Bogarde it out.

    My learned fact for the day is that he has a replica of the 17th hole at Sawgrass in his back garden.

    He'll probably be able to reconstruct the rest of it with what Real owe him.

    £55m after tax, apparently.

    Graham Potter and associates have joined Brighton for £3m, which makes it a transfer ok.

    May the good footballing times roll. I'm not sure I've ever seen that Daniel James chap play, but they should bring him with them.

    According to the Reddit ITK, there'll be stories about Utd signing Daniel James coming out 10pm tonight.

    Looking to sign one of Nicolas Pepe, Bale (loan with option to buy) or Griezmann.

    Will bid for Koulibaly once De Ligt is confirmed going to Barca.

    Edit: oh and Sanchez may be going on loan to Inter, with us paying 50% wages.

    Daniel James done deal, announcement today or tomorrow.

    Our reported interest in De Ligt is apparently just to push Barca to announce they've signed him (we believe it's decided he's going there) so that Napoli can't use Barca 'interest' as leverage in the negotiations for Koulibaly. We'll try and buy Umtiti as well as Koulibaly if Barca make him available after they get Dr Ligt.

    They will end up with Umtiti for more than they spend on de Ligt. I would sooner have Harry Maguire.

    Koulibaly is the priority for CB either way. Umtiti would be an extra.

    Di Laurentis doesn't need other interest to leverage against, he's very much in the "fuck you, pay me" camp. I too reckon the money would be better spaffed on Maguire.

    City must be in the market for another centre half this summer, surprised they're not going for De Ligt if he's as good as everyone seems to think.

    Victor Moses who i forgot existed is link with Inter. He had a few good seasons with Chelsea but then just dispappered. Supposduly, he was in Turkey

    Edit: Ahh, with Conte now at Inter. Moses is linked there who had that good season under him and Lukaku is also linked according to SSN in yellow.

    Manchester United, Everton and West Ham have been offered the chance to sign Marseille and Netherlands midfielder Kevin Strootman on loan. Thats about 4 years out of date.

    First things first, I have removed all mention of Daniel James as his deal is complete but both Swansea and United have agreed that due to the very sudden passing of his father they have left when he joins us into his hands now to give him time to grieve in private. I wont be discussing him again until it concludes out of respect.

    I've had another drop. The internal teams at United seem to have been given a memo about names. This is a mixture of 3 sources supplying this and very much an amalgamation of information, so some of it is a little contradictory:

    IN

    Sancho deal could be back on. Seems that the Brandt and Hazard signings are seen as Dortmund preparing to let him go. Belief is it would take between £80m-£100m. However, expect to see news come out slowly that we AREN'T interested as Ed is seemingly trying to play a bit of a game to lower the price by flirting with Bale and Griezmann (this already started yesterday with an Ogden ESPN article).
    AWB deal is on. We've told Meunier we won't be continuing discussions. The AWB deal is quiet a bit further along than reported, and he may now wind up completing first.
    We are the Premier League team that intends to activate Partey's release clause (pending Pogba confirming he plans to stay. Not sure why him going would stop this but that's what is being said.)
    Koulibally is almost certainly not happening. Napoli seem utterly disinterested in selling him. Umtiti still the other pipe-dream, but he seems to want to stay at Barca. Harry Maguire is the backup but will be very expensive.
    We would love to sign De Ligt, but all noise is from his agent trying to drum up money out of Barca. We don't expect him to go anywhere else. We have however said we will meet all demands (which is above Barcas offer and a promise to make him the instant starter).
    Likewise; we have started to monitor the situation with Luka Jovic at Eintracht Frankfurt. Still expected to join Madrid but we may look to sign him if Lukaku leaves. We wouldn't meet their €100m valuation but instead would look to send players to them on loan (Chong an option) or even offer them a discount on a replacement (not sure who they would want/can afford to he honest).
    We absolutely would take Bale on loan if he wants it.
    OUT

    Bailly has attracted several offers, but nothing that has met the club valuation.
    Pogba is believed to be staying
    De Gea is going this summer. PSG offer is expected any day now.
    Alexis has an offer from Inter (Juve never reached out formally).
    Lukaku sale to Inter is also becoming possible, but will be dependant upon a suitable replacement being available (and if Icardi would actually leave). Solksjaer seems to not be arsed at all with him.)
    Latest. Idk if anyone interested, if not I'll stop relaying it.

    What's Partey's release clause then?

    Must be about £300m worth of deals there.

    The couple of people this comes from have called stuff correctly in the past quite consistently, it's pretty obvious they do get some information.

    But anyway, I'll stop posting it.

    We seem to have given up on getting Ryan Kent on a proper deal or even extending his loan another year, and are instead going to take Sheyi Ojo on loan who I remember Taz wanking himself dry over and very little else. Based purely on that, he'll probably be rotten. Hopefully Jamie Murphy hits the ground running and he's just a backup.

    We had Sheyi Ojo on loan at Fulham a season ago. Quite underwhelming, one or two decent performances early on (2 goals and an assist away at Sheffield United was his best game) but the majority of the time he was poor, with bad decision making. Barely featured in the second half of the season when we had the great unbeaten run to the playoffs.

    Re: the United stuff it all seems quite believable in as much as I'd have thought any big club probably has a million things on the go and players they're "monitoring" at any given time ranging from "unlikely but we'll try our hand given the chance" to "plan c / what we'd like to pretend isn't the likely option." It's just that with United being rich but a bit shit less of the big ones actually come off and we end up with Fred.

    Reliable United 'itk' is probably a piss to get hold of, Woodward probably wrote that on reddit himself. Chelsea itk is rare as hen's teeth.
