May 19, 20197 yr Bournemouth have signed England Under-21 defender Lloyd Kelly from Bristol City for £13m. Liverpool and Manchester United were supposedly really keen on him. Anyway good luck to the lad. I suspect the big story of the summer will be where does de Ligt go. Lots of rumours about Joe Allen going to Wolves at the moment.
May 19, 20197 yr Author Vincent Kompany has announced he is leaving Manchester City to join Anderlect as player-manager! It will be interesting to see if this will have any effect on them going forward. I wonder if they have any other players who can step up to be a leader like Kompany has been for the last decade, I'm pretty sure he said yesterday that he didn't want to leave Manchester City and that they are the best team in the world? things like this can sometimes make a difference.
May 19, 20197 yr I think last week after winning the league and after the Leicester game his interview sounded like he was leaving, he will be missed in the dressing room no doubt!
May 19, 20197 yr Author I think last week after winning the league and after the Leicester game his interview sounded like he was leaving, he will be missed in the dressing room no doubt! Yeah I'm sure he will be missed, he always came across as a nice guy and very humble.
May 19, 20197 yr I don't think you can overstate losing somebody like Kompany from the dressing room. The one thing City haven't had to deal with this year really is trying to have calm heads when they were 1-0 down. The only game I can think of is the FA Cup tie with Swansea. Must say I am surprised they didn't offer him a new one year contract. Mind you, the best managers always try and get rid of players before they overstay their welcome.
May 21, 20197 yr The Telegraph now linking Sean Longstaff to Man Utd. Quite a reputable source. No idea what to make of it, surely he’s going to cost at least £20m. I’ve seen bits of him and he’s impressed but seems strange Man Utd would go for him with only a handful of Premier League appearances to his name.
May 22, 20197 yr Dortmund have signed Thorgan Hazard for £22.5m from Gladbach and Julian Brandt for £22.1m from Bayer Leverkusen.
May 22, 20197 yr Dortmund have signed Thorgan Hazard for £22.5m from Gladbach and Julian Brandt for £22.1m from Bayer Leverkusen. And you now count Nico Schulz as well to that for £24m from Hoffenheim.
May 23, 20197 yr I've no idea who we will get. Ever since the failed Van Dijk transfer all the journos haven't had a clue really until last minute. I suspect we will get a full-back (left back) and hopefully a pacy wide attacker. Seen links with Werner and Pepe. I think we'll sign 2-3 players maximum. Surely Robertson won’t be getting dropped anytime soon.
May 23, 20197 yr Surely Robertson won’t be getting dropped anytime soon. No he won't and neither will Trent, but they both need deputies at the very least who can replicate what they do (which is basically play as wingers). Hooever will suspect come in for Trent over the next 12-18 months. Pretty clear he's a special talent. But we have no cover for Robertson. It's a massive weak spot for us potentially. Not getting a 4th attacker and a back-up left back will be where we fall down next season.
May 23, 20197 yr Author Lukaku linked with a move to Inter now Conte has taken over! Lukaku can leave as far as I am concerned. He hasn't done enough overall during his time at United although he has had some really good moments.
May 23, 20197 yr Lukaku can leave as far as I am concerned. He hasn't done enough overall during his time at United although he has had some really good moments. He’s 100% gone. I think he’s a really good striker, but probably quite clear he doesn’t look after himself the way he should. Still, think his scoring record for you was pretty good for you. Like a lot of strikers of his ilk, lots of talent but they are confidence players.
May 24, 20197 yr Strong rumours about de Ligt going to Man Utd at the moment. Jesus, I know where his loyalities lie if this comes off!
May 28, 20197 yr Tottenham have reportedly made a £53m bid for Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.
May 30, 20197 yr Norwich City have announced the signing of Man City midfielder Patrick Roberts on loan from July 1.
June 4, 20197 yr Luka Jovic has joined Real Madrid on a five-year deal, according to his current club Eintracht Frankfurt.
