Summer Transfers 2020 - Sponsored by Corona™

[Lewis]

United should have a policy of Lancastrianising its local youth products at the very least. Matty Greenwood. Ronnie Rashford. Eddy Laird. The likes of 'Teden Mengi' become Tommy Mathers or they get released.

Paul “Oggy” Ogden

Forest mate reckons unlikely, has been quality at times, bit shite at others, and in no way made it certain he'd start this year has Forest been promoted. But, would be dirt cheap, on account of having signed for them on a one year deal that's been extended only another 12 months.

I just put him in to troll so lol if he does.

Few moves on Championship deadline day to Premiership sides.

Joe Rodon from Swansea to Spurs for £11m

Jack Butland to Palace for £1m

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54578568

Kongolo to Fulham for £4m (not like it's going to help)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54578809

Benrahma to West Ham, £5m loan with an obligation to buy him for £20m potentially rising to £25m.

Butland is lol, they wanted ~20m for him last summer

Two bits of good news hidden in one story.

[Waffdon]

Haaland a main target for Chelsea in the summer. That’ll end well with the way they set up with Werner lolz

[Lofty]

Mustafi to Barca rumours doing the rounds again lol.

[randomlegend]

We look like we're signing an Ecuadorian young midfielder called Moises Caicedo.

[Manc]

@Don

[randomlegend]

He is black, yes.

[niko_cee]

Inb4 work permit rules make it impossible.

How much is that Diallo geezer going to cost? Should probably use the new rules to not sign him.

[Kikó]

£25m i think. Why do you think he's not worth signing?

The other lad is close but not signed. Loads of complications on his agent (or lack of).

[niko_cee]

Because he's 18 (?) and doesn't get a game for Atalanta.

I also read £38m, which I thought sounded a bit mad.

I reckon there's probably a moneyball type thing to be worked out with only ever signing players who are 22-26, and maybe free transfers. Under that age it's all hype and 'potential', which often never materialises, and over that you lose the sweet sweet sell-on prospects. If you actually want to be successful you can probably change the model to only ever signing players who are 24-30.

[Kikó]

I mean I've never watched him and he's more likely or not to be shit but if they've put some thought into it then you have to trust in the process (TM).

[Don]

If either of them make as much of an impact as Pellistri I'll chew on RL's smegma.

[Gray Fox]

Ozan Kabak is next.

Seems I was a tad early.

[Baz]

Haalands dad spotted leaving Barcelona and going to Real Madrid. Hopefully for some informal lagers, and nothing else.
