Ł42m seems quite cheap taking into English tax etc.
Thought they’d be after a lot more than that.

Another homegrown numbers thing? They do that quite a bit don’t they. Villa for a new start in 2 years.
Scott Twine on his way to Kompany's Burnley. Keep an eye on him, got serious potential to be elite. I want Mo's opinion of him.
Bargain. You fear for Leeds.
He's good at set pieces and was regarded as probably the best player in League One last season. Other than his free kicks, he's not really stood out when I've seen him.
I only saw a brief glimpse but he looked like he could whip it into 'top bins' if given the slightest bit of space on edge of the box.
Botman to Newcastle.
I don't think Phillips is that good and will have an Ake-like trajectory at City but I might be wrong. Pep and midfielders etc.
United still fingering their collective anuses. At least there's absolutely no chance of City swooping in for De Jong now I guess.
I love how the most readable post Taz has made in months includes the words ‘top bins’.Originally Posted by Don
Utd won’t either. More appeasing shit from ladbantz the same as the last (Woodward?) lad did. That won’t change when the owners remain the same no matter how many times he goes t’boozeh.
The fucking leprechaun's been on the Friday beers.
Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal for Ł45m sounds done.

I'm a twit
Chelsea bidding 20m plus Werner for De Light
Ziyech/Lukaku/Werner all leaving meaning a completely new defence and attack but it’s a midfielder they desperately need.

That's a proper banter bid.
Juventus want Werner so it makes sense. Not that player exchanges ever seem to happen.
Juve will want to at least recoup what they paid for De Ligt, which means you'd have to be valuing Werner at about 55m. L, and as they say, OL.
That's the sort of hilarious deal that the FM AI does all the time to shuffle players out amongst itself but if you try they immediately shut down and refuse to negotiate.
It never works for me on FM either. Offer a player worth Ł60m and they still want the same money value as initially negotiated and 40% sell on fee.
I feel that a Jesus out/Phillips in swap [in money terms] for City is not a good deal for them. But I guess maybe Jesus had had enough of not being played and wanted out.
Worst part of the Phillips story on the BBC is this:
Dunno how well that reads as an England fan.England's player of the year in 2020-21, Phillips will need to fend off competition from Jude Bellingham, Jordan Henderson, Conor Gallagher and James Ward-Prowse to earn his place in Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad.
Midfield performances are largely irrelevant as they're all slaves to the system once they pull on the England shirt.
Bale to LAFC is done.
Cardiff in the mud.
They’ll try anything to break the #9 curse
Does one of the greatest players of all time get subjected to The Operation?
Ronny knows the only way to win with this club and bias leadership towards action is to beat them at the PR game, and knows he has the clout to do it. Bless him.
They could just retire the shirt and anger God that way.
Finally.
One of the Barca reporters reckons one of the things that's been holding it up is that Barca still haven't paid his agent's commission from his move to Barca and are still claiming they can't afford to pay it now

I've heard it's actually because there's a certain date for the transfer. "All verbally done, but Barca are waiting till after the new La Liga calculation to agree it all, because then any new money in will be under their new spending cap."
Yeah I can't get my head around all that. I've heard what you've said, but also heard precisely the opposite and that they need it done before 30th June so it falls into last year's finances - which are what this coming year's caps are based off - rather than falling into the current year's finances and not being useful to them until next year's caps are decided.
Who knows.

Still, might actually mean he's coming within the next week which is a good thing.
First decent player we've had come through in 10+ years and it was while the club was imploding. TBF looked nothing special until Richie Wellens sacked him off to Newport on loan, suddenly turned out he was decent, got January recalled, but club was being run into the ground at that point and nothing could've kept us up. Tribunal to MK Dons was Ł300k, sell on looks to be between Ł700-900k, which is handy. Good luck to him, hope he has developed his all-round game a bit more and has what it takes to step up.
Patrick Roberts has signed/extended his contract for Sunderland. He still has a lot of unfulfilled potential.
Ł10m+ for Andreas Perreira from Fulham is as bent as they come. Great to see they're heading straight back down.
Using that money wisely...
I was about to post that he would be quite good in the Championship but they came up didn't they. I obviously forgot it in all the excitement.
Jesus is done.
I said this about Lacazette and Aubameyang but he should do well there.
'Edu & Arteta, key for the deal' as if Valencia and Napoli were willing to match the bid.
Liverpool apparently IN for Otavio from Porto.
Seems an odd one to me.
Erikson should be breaking ticker soon.
Wahey.
Getting the old band together like it's 1995 WCW.
He’s got good numbers.
I'm a twit
Alright, Richard Dawkins.
Arsenal offer for Martinez increased to 40m euros. Ajax not going to accept less than 50.
We’re doing the okey kokey and are now back out on Otavio.

Sky Sports are a pretty wank source, but if those are actually the numbers then we've absolutely done Barcelona.
You need to clean your screen, that's not Ł5.6m, son.
I know this is going to sound a bit disparaging, but it honestly isn't meant to be - the De Jong transfer reminds me a lot of Rodgers signing Allen when he first went to Liverpool [which was apparently 10 years ago]. Given what has happened to fees over those 10 years, and the fact that I would imagine that De Jong is a better player, it seems a decent enough deal at that price. What did Barcelona pay Ajax for him anyway? I guess they've been somewhat ambushed by the fact that they have a couple of mega talents coming through in the same position [and also they're in the anti-Dutch part of their cycle at the moment]. Ten Hag's brother isn't his agent is he?
Ł75m IIRC.
