Good luck to the lad, hopefully Celtic is his square hole
Edouard to Arsenal
Aubameyang to Barcelona
Griezzman to PSG
Mbappe to Man City
Aguero to Bayern
Lewandowski to West Ham
From the gossip column on BBC.
The same page also claims that Chelsea want Chilwell still and are being quoted £80m for him. So that’s £90m for Havertz, £80m for Chilwell and £70m-£90m for Rice? In the same climate where Man Utd have said that £100m for Sancho is unrealistic? I can’t see it happening, you know.
Rice will end up at Chelsea, it just won’t be this summer.
19 clubs in his senior career, he just joined Plymouth after being released from Colchester because of the coronavirus.
I think you forgot Oblak for around £100m to Chelsea.
Some decent info here.
Watford have signed teenage right-back Jeremy Ngakia from West Ham.
The Hammers academy product made five Premier League starts last season and did not sign a new deal at the London Stadium as it expired this summer.
The 19-year-old has now signed a permanent deal with Watford and will join up with the squad for pre-season training next week.
Good luck to the kid
In the post-Covid world, with teams playing behind closed doors and foregoing gate and other receipts it would be very difficult for WHU to match the Chelsea wages and I can't see the players volunteering for a wage cut. So it is ahrd to see why they would come to WHU. The wage bill is a conundrum for WHU and they need to shift some less-useful high earners, and that won't be easy. WHU need to find some gems in the lower leagues or foreign leagues (like Soucek).
£50m from "gate, corporate, club shop, programmes, share of catering" plus another £15-20m for finishing 16th rather than mid table as was predicted (allegedly).
Assuming that all the other clubs are in the same boat this could end up being a very quiet transfer window
Different scenario, Sheffield United have just had their first EPL season I.e. if they lost £50mil from Covid they would still be £40mil profitable from the TV money
Plus they didnt make a whole load of signings, so probably still have a championship wage bill
They have that bring in a keeper as they are losing henderson who was instrumental for them
And havent we already spent about that sum on soucek THIS window?
Dont understand this, unless we invest we wont be competitive yet we spent over £150mil the last 4 windows and found ourselves 17th plus weve made the highest signings of any of the bottom 10 clubs (Soucek)
Its been covered already but its clear that by a country mile the important part of this window is to keep Rice, aside from his quality the versatility of Rice is exactly what we need in if we cannot afford to buy, in him we have both a DM and CB to play where needed.
