Nice to see him managing his boyhood club.
I missed our old pal Monchi turning up at Aston Villa. Looks like Pau Torres and Valladolid right back Jose Fraudulento will join him there too.
Newcastle getting Tino Livramento for £15m seems absolutely mental. I know he’s had an absolutely dreadful injury but his potential is incredible if he gets back fit proper.
We must be absolutely fucked financially to even entertain that fee.Originally Posted by Waffdon
Didn't Chelsea have a buy-back option for not much more?
£38m I think and a percentage of sell on fee based on Southampton making a profit. They’re asking for over £50m for Lavia so idk how fucked financially they are. Maybe Livramento’s knees are absolutely gone.
Caicedo has an agreement in place with Chelsea. Have rules about tapping up just disappeared or was it just never reported back in the SSN and non Twitter day?
The rules only exist when the selling club wants them to. See how Southampton spooked off Liverpool for 6 months and got them to give them the offer they wanted in the first place when they leaked the existence of texts between Van Dijk and Klopp then got exactly the price they wanted in full.
It's also how you go about it. It's a bit like Corporate Price Fixing. If you and I held a meeting about how the price of X should be 1 pound. That's price fixing. If you and I happened to be doing talks about 'increasing diversity in the work place' in the same hotel and run into each other in the corridor and said 'hey, have you heard about Y. I think it might increase the price of X to 1 pound.' That's legal.
^ That example is directly from the General Counsel of DuPont De Nemours in a town hall meeting where they definitely weren't training their employees on how to do illegal stuff legally before I'm challenged on it.
Nobody likes a narc, Phonics.
But Newcastles best player plays in that position.
I'm a twit
The cover for that position is Manquillo or erm ... Dan Burn.

City have put a bid in for Rice.
Philips might as well go in the other direction. Seriously, it'd do him good.
Absolutely no-one but tinpot operations bid for players they haven't already tapped up for interest.
Isn't that City offer equal to the Arsenal offer that was already turned down?
Well yeah, I’m not denying that. It’s more the open reporting of it these days.
Because the selling club gives a player permission to negotiate with the buying team. The clubs then negotiate the actual sale.
West Ham have rejected Man City's first offer of £90m for D.Rice
Hang on I’ve just seen that some Saudi club is offering £35 million for Demari Gray? I mean come on at least try and hide it a bit.
Have to say that it’s a bit of shame Keita’s contract was up this summer. I’m sure they would have gone balls deep on him for £40 million.
Nobody is that daft.
This u21 Euros needs to hurry up and finish. I'm sick of seeing a different midfielder linked every day because the journos are bored.
Jesse Lingard is begging for a move to Saudi
It's quite sad with people like him. Burned out his chief talent at the age of 25, really nothing left for him in the rest of his life other than clinging to the coat tails of that in various guises. I'd hate to be in that situation, no matter how many bent millions I'd accumulated in the process.
Bayern have bid €70m (+add-ons) for Kane.
I dunno, I could probably cope with chancing my way to a life of luxury.
When's 'Dele' moving to Saudi?
I see Oxlade has been linked as well.
I can see Sours letting him go for that fee for a club overseas. UK clubs. Double that.
A £60m bid for Kane would suggest that Bayern have the old guard mongs in charge of transfer policy again.
Levy will want 100m from anyone you'd think.
Only thing that might tip the scales is if our 'arry goes on strike. They can't afford to have someone like him sat doing nothing while they fall down into the bottom half of the table.
He's too much of a wet blanket to do that.
Not least because it's his own stupid fault he's in this position.
Did he not famously dodge training when he was linked with City?
I thought he did his little interview and put in a transfer request but never actually refused to train or anything.
Anyway, Bayern's bid already rejected.
He skipped a couple of days of pre-season training.
Isn't the base problem with 'Mikel' phoning up 'Pep' to ask him to bid for Rice that neither of them probably have anything whatsoever to do with transfer negotiations?
It's more likely the exact opposite, City trolling a rival with the intention of driving the price up [didn't they do this with Maguire?].
Or, even more likely, they want to sign Rice. Wild thought, I know.
Apparently United offered De Gea a contract, he signed it, then they withdrew the offer and gave him a lower one.
So fucking amateurish my god.
It's more likely City think West Ham are more arsed about Arsenal trying to pay them a quid a week where as City can ofder two lump sum payments, than any 'help'.
De Gea signed a contract extension on a wage cut and United have backed out of the deal
Edit: beaten by ITK Randrew
Gary Neville signing for Dragon's Den promises peak lolz.
Oh my, that really does.
I can only imagine the size of his erection when his agent came knocking with that one.
Spurs should obviously sell Kane.
That is a lot of money.
If I had £105 million, I don't think I'd spend it on getting the rights to have Declan Rice play football for my team (obviously millions more to actually get him on the pitch). I'd probably build a new museum or hospital or something.
Alright Sadio Mane, calm down.
I'm a twit
If Arsenal have legitimately beaten City to him that is a proper coup. Does he just not want to move house?
I quite Declan Rice as a player, but £105m for a glorified shitkicker is absolute madness.
Fair enough if City want to waste that on a signing, it matters not to them, but that must be most of Arsenal's spending in one massive outlay.
Timothy Weah to Juventus for €12m (and his entire career to date) is familial nepotism gone absolute wild. All well and good fighting for justice and equality but until useless cunts like this are back selling miniature Eiffel Tower figurines, can we really say we've progressed?
The suggestion is Rice, Havertz and Timber will be the first 'wave' of the window, then once outgoings have been sorted there might be some more spending at the end of the window. I think they could easily recoup half of the soend on those three with a few sales.
West Ham not happy with the offer
9 months on and after captaining the side to their third CL campaign in history (first in 20 years), my muslim don is off to Mecca. Now stop fucking about and come get the Egyptian king.
Edit: ignore number 25 in that twitter thread (or don't, there was some good stuff in that thread on the whole from memory).

Not a chance they let him walk for free next season. I've heard some deluded nonsense that they might give him a new contract and loan him to Madrid / Bayern for a year though.
Quite the disparity there.Southampton want a deal closer to £50m for Tino Livramento, according to The Athletic.
Newcastle have reportedly bid £15m for the full-back.
Fab'erewego Romano says Liverpool aren't actually going to buy Mbappe for £250m as reported by Marca.
