Don't think it will be this summer. Most of the big sides have a dm, but do think.next year when ferndinho contract runs out, he could head there.

Manchester United looking likely to sign French sensation Eduardo Camavinga. The 18 year old is out of contract in the summer. Rennes willing to let him leave for €30m, which is ridiculously cheap.

Danny Ings turns down new contract at Southampton, and wants to move on. Problem is, not sure anyone decent will touch him, given his injury record.

He has played 100 games for Southampton over three seasons, it would appear his injury worries are behind him.

I don't think I could cope with a window of Sancho and then potentially Varane and Camavinga. Seems far too competent for United especially if they all come in for around 150m combined.

I'd love to see it, but will be very surprised if it all happens

Chelsea panic buy in September written all over him. Abraham and Giroud to leave and if they fail to get a top tier striker, I can see them doing it.

Chelsea target Achraf Hakimi signs on a five year deal with PSG for £60m

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 06 Jul 2021, 8:53 pm

I think losing Ndidi is their bigger worry, especially as he’s more a dm than Tielemans.

by Guest Thu 08 Jul 2021, 2:51 pm

PSG looking to complete move for Pogba, €80m valuation but I doubt he’d cost more that €60m.
The cash rich Parisians also looking to sign Theo Hernandez from Milan.
Financial FairPlay working well...

Honestly thought they'd ditched that.
Speaking of PSG, Sergio Ramos has joined on a 2 year deal.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 09 Jul 2021, 3:24 pm

West Ham interested in a loan (with a possible buyout) for Areola, who was in goal for Fulham last year.

Happy with that

by Guest Fri 09 Jul 2021, 5:03 pm

Some reports suggesting Manchester United have offered £100m + Martial + one unnamed player for Harry Kane.
Seems an incredible offer tbh.

by Luke Fri 09 Jul 2021, 5:10 pm

Watford Have signed Joshua King.

Meanwhile Olivier Giroud is close to leaving Chelsea for AC Milan.

Lionel Messi to sign new 5 year deal with Barcelona - the Argentine superstar will take 50% salary reduction.

Gianlungi Donnarumma joins PSG on a free transfer broken

by Guest Wed 14 Jul 2021, 9:33 pm

Barcelona and Atlético working on a swap deal which would see Griezmann return to Atletico and Saul go in the opposite direction.
No wonder Barcelona are financially crippled. They paid €120m for Griezmann and he is on a reputed €880,000 per week.

Marc Guehi to Palace for £15m.

Brighton are about to sell Ben White for £50m after one decent Prem season after a Championship loan.

Chelsea's approach to their youngsters continues to baffle - Guehi and Tomori going for a combined £40m is madness, especially when you consider Silva is old!

Silva, Christensen, Rudiger, Azpi - all out of contract in 2022. I get Guehi only has two years left so if you sell you need sell now, but the fact they couldn’t convince him of a path forward with the above contract situations is a sign it is back to the bad old days for the Chelsea Youth. Can’t wait to sign some generic Spanish centre back for £50m.

I’ll console myself with the fact that Levi Colwill, on loan at Huddersfield, is meant to be the best of the young CBs. Till Villa buy him for £10m this time next year after a great loan.

Ben White to Arsenal £50m deal agreed

Arsenal have signed Belgian wonderkid - Albert Sambi Lokonga - for a potential fee of £17.2m

Lewis Bate to Leeds for £1.5m. Tino Livramento to Brighton and Myles Peart Harris to Brentford both expected to go through in the next few days too. Hope they show what they can do.

by Atila Fri 23 Jul 2021, 3:28 pm

It's been over two years in the making but United have finally announced the signing of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund for £73m.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 26 Jul 2021, 9:52 pm

Sancho and Varane make a good window already for Man United, but they are still a striker and midfielder - at least - to challenge

by JDizzle Tue 27 Jul 2021, 5:24 pm

Sounds like Chelsea are going to get Jules Kounde from Sevilla for £68m.

Would imagine that means at least one of Zouma/Rudiger/Christensen leaves. A 5’10 CB in the PL… we will see I guess.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 29 Jul 2021, 6:42 pm

West Ham take Areola on loan, reported £1.7m fee and £11m to buy. Delighted with that.

Now linked with Zouma, but at £20m, apparently short of valuation. Not sure on Zouma, one of those who can be brilliant or awful.

by westisbest Wed 04 Aug 2021, 6:56 pm

We’ve just signed Ings. That came out of nowhere.

Not to sure on him.

What a waste of money, but I suppose it doesn't matter when City have an infinite supply of funds.

we can always dream.

Though City and Barcelona (provisionally) are both being added to the very long list of clubs that I hate.

Must be hard to see your teams best player move onto bigger things

by **Galted** Thu 05 Aug 2021, 9:24 pm

Presumably that's supposed to be a wind-up but the answer is not really, you get used to it.

by westisbest Thu 05 Aug 2021, 10:34 pm

Also as Purslow says, if this day came they would have a plan. Was never their intention to replace Jack with one player. Strategy to breakdown his attributes and replace him with the three players we have signed in Bailey Bueindea and Ings. 3 good signings.

Still need a couple more.
Tuanzebe looks close and another midfielder I’d say.

Tbf, City barely had to push themselves financially for this deal. The sale of Sane, Otamendi, Angelino, Nmecha, and the sell on fee for Sancho, has pretty much covered it. Grealish is overrated, but I think he’ll do a decent job.

I don’t think City will massively improve, or go to the next level, until they’ve signed Haaland, probably next summer.

by Soul Requiem Fri 06 Aug 2021, 9:36 am

Haaland wouldn't take City to the next level, I don't see how he fits into that side. He's a goalscorer yes but his all round link up play isn't good enough for their style.

by GSC Sat 07 Aug 2021, 10:49 am

Messi to PSG is the most boring outcome imaginable

by Guest Sat 07 Aug 2021, 8:12 pm

Chelsea agree €115m/£97.5m deal with Inter for Lukaku. Should’ve just paid the extra £50m and got Haaland...

by Atila Sat 07 Aug 2021, 10:16 pm

Why didn't Messi stay at Barcelona?

I keep reading how they paid his medical bills when he was younger and had him on their books since he was 13. He is reportedly worth over £400 million, so money should not be a problem for him.

Even if Barcelona couldn't pay him big money, he could still top up his wages through sponsorship and endorsement deals. He would truly be a legend to Barcelona fans if he stayed there and helped them to recover from their current financial problems, but no, he is reportedly leaving them for PSG.

To me, although a great player, he's still a typical football player, just looking for money.

by Guest Sun 08 Aug 2021, 12:10 am

Barcelona can’t register anyone they are above the salary cap. Garcia, Aguero, Wijnaldum and Depay are still awaiting clearance.
Retaining Messi even if he played for free wouldn’t solve their problems underlying issues.
Sometimes it’s better to separate.

by Atila Sun 08 Aug 2021, 6:02 pm

Maybe Barcelona wouldn't be having such financial problems if it wasn't for Messi's previous wage demands. Sure, he's not the only player making a lot of money but I'm finding all of his tears and sorrow at leaving Barcelona a little bit disingenuous.

Like I said previously he's a great player but F#*K him and all these players who screw their clubs over.

by GSC Sun 08 Aug 2021, 6:04 pm

Maybe Barca wouldn't be having such financial problems if they didnt spaff a fortune on a bunch of mediocre players.

Messi looks like good value compared to Coutinho, Dembele or Griezmann

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 08 Aug 2021, 7:44 pm

Yeah damn those players getting paid what they’re worth, justice for the corrupt billionaire owners and clubs!

by JDizzle Sun 08 Aug 2021, 8:24 pm

Easy to see why PSG opposed the Super League. Let everyone else go to pot and sweep up their talent.

Good Golly I'm Olly wrote:Yeah damn those players getting paid what they’re worth, justice for the corrupt billionaire owners and clubs!

Payed what they're worth? We'll have to agree to disagree. I think that quite few of these players are paid too much for what they do, but it's OK I guess because it's the fans that are the ones who pay for it in the end not the owners and deservedly so if they believe all the crap that they get told by players...."I have been a fan of this club since I was a boy" etc.

The more the players want, the more shirt prices go up, the more ticket prices go up and the more TV companies charge fans to watch a game or for their sports packages.

Anyway, that's me done with this subject for the day. I'm not going to be moved or waste my time feeling sorry for a footballer who's worth £400 million, who's now probably going to another club to make millions more.

by GSC Sun 08 Aug 2021, 8:34 pm

...ok

by Soul Requiem Sun 08 Aug 2021, 8:34 pm

Messi did come across as a right tool but then again we're talking about a player and club who played the system so that he could dope as a teenager. If he truly cared as the fake tears are meant to suggest he'd play for a massive pay cut but predictably he doesn't care quite that much.
