July 30, 20197 yr Everton have agreed a transfer fee of £27.5m, potentially rising to £36.6m, with Juventus for striker Moise Kean. Good signing if it goes through and can completely see the logic from his agent - play well for 1-2 seasons and you'll get a big money move off the stepping stone club Everton. Man Utd apparently in for Dybala. He would be a good signing, although I'm hesitant it will actually happen judging from what I have read. Seems to be a big PR plant.
July 30, 20197 yr Anyone wanting away or a better deal is “linked” with United. Transfer rumours are nothing more than a way for papers to sell and Sky to drive gullible morons to skybet. It’s all bullshit until they’re standing at carrington in a United kit
July 30, 20197 yr Everton have agreed a transfer fee of £27.5m, potentially rising to £36.6m, with Juventus for striker Moise Kean. That's a bargain for a 19yo who has huge potentisl. No buy back clause either!!
July 30, 20197 yr Looks like the wheels are set in motion for the £90m move for Maguire to Man Utd. Bonkers,. If the rumours are true they could be signing Maguire, Dybala and Fernandes within the next week. Surely must mean Pogba is on his way out otherwise I have no idea what they are doing. Lukaku obviously will leave.
July 30, 20197 yr Dybala coming and Lukaku going is the same move as rumour has it. Not paying much attention to the rumours until I get the notification from the app about a signing
July 31, 20197 yr Dybla is an exceptional player. Sheffield United have agreed a club record £20m deal for Swansea City striker and Scottish international Oli McBurnie Hahahahahahah! Sheffield United are tragic right now.
July 31, 20197 yr Dybla is an exceptional player. Sheffield United have agreed a club record £20m deal for Swansea City striker and Scottish international Oli McBurnie Hahahahahahah! Sheffield United are tragic right now. I really like Dybla as a player. Major problem he might have at Man Utd is again it seems he's being pimped out rather than an actual target of theirs. He needs some coaching, he could become a new Salah or he could as easily be just like Sanchez at Man Utd, that would be the worry from my side.
August 1, 20197 yr Dybla is an exceptional player. Sheffield United have agreed a club record £20m deal for Swansea City striker and Scottish international Oli McBurnie Hahahahahahah! Sheffield United are tragic right now. What about Villa, spending over £100m on players?
August 1, 20197 yr Could end up being like Fulham but with all these things could also have spent wisely too.
August 1, 20197 yr I think Sheffield United and Villa will both comfortably survive. Sheffield United's business is very Cardiff/Burnley when they first went up but probably better. McBurnie was incredible for Swansea last season, far better and more important than Dan James who ended up and Man Utd. Their only singing I'm not totally sold on is Mousset, though that's mainly for the price. The quantity/overall spending is similar but ultimately I don't think Villa's business is anything like Fulham's. They came up with a tiny amount of players that would be of any use in this league (about 7 maximum), got most of their business done early, a lot converting loans and signing players the manager already knows and has previously managed or targeted.

I could see Villa going either way. On the bright side they have Grealish and McGinn who I think both can reach higher levels. Disagree about Sheffield United though, I can't see McBurnie banging the goals in for fun in the Premier League. They've too many gambles imo, Mousset is a terrible signing, Morrison has done nothing of note ever and Jagielka is good for experience but he's far too slow for the Premier League now. They're going to need exceptional home form and become absolute yard dogs like Burnley were.
August 1, 20197 yr I'm a big fan of their business and it's made me far more confident in them than I'd have been, some of the best performing players in the Championship at decent fees, pretty much exactly as you'd want or hope for. McBurnie is a really talented player with loads of good aspects to his game and is a decent finisher. Morrison seems like a bit of a gamble but cheap and worth it as it's a position they've got plenty of competition, if ever a manager is going to get a tune out of him at the highest level it's Wilder. They've such a unique style, something that historically teams take a while to figure out how to deal with for promoted teams. I've not looked into PL bets with bookies yet, but will be backing them definitely. 6 clear of relegation zone at Christmas? I'd happily take that on.

Problem with using the Championship as a gage of success though is it's unpredictable. Dwight Gayle is a world beater in the Championship, but he struggles to consistently make the step up. It's why I wonder about Villa as well, yes they have signed some of their players on loan from last season but they've signed so many players who weren't on loan as well. Their midfield looks absolutely stocked for example and I'd say that you need players to play themselves in to form when adapting to the new league as we generally see that happen bar the odd occassion. And they're still not done. I don't know who will score their goals, but you could say the same about quite a few teams near the bottom. I think one thing that will be interesting this season is the likes of Norwich, Brighton and Southampton for example look to be very attacking heavy but very suspect defensively whereas you'd expect Burnley, Sheffield United and Newcastle for example to operate with slightly more caution so we could have an interesting attack vs defence playout on our hands.
August 1, 20197 yr Mental to see McBurnie go for £20 million. He had a couple of loan deals at Chester and you could tell he was a cut-above and destined to have a good career but I was never expecting him to be worthy this much.
August 2, 20197 yr Manchester United have reached an agreement to sign England centre-back Harry Maguire from Leicester for £80m - a world-record fee for a defender.
August 2, 20197 yr Better than what we currently have + English premium price so no surprise really. I see Brighton have also bought that Bristol City defender so that must mean Dunk is off to Leicester as Maguire's replacement - domino effect in full swing!

Still think it's bizzarre that Alderwierld was available and you didn't go for him, can only assume he wanted CL football. Think Maguire is better than the current United CBs but that's what 5/6 CBs now? Surely going to have to try and flog Jones/Smalling (has Rojo gone). Both Maguire and Lindelof don't have the pace to play a high line so I'll be interested to see what Solskjaer tries with his tactics.
