August 5, 20205 yr Author Manchester City have completed the signing of Valencia winger Ferran Torres for £21m.
August 6, 20205 yr Alexis Sanchez has joined Inter Milan permanently from Manchester United on a 3 year deal. I think it's for the best for everyone involved, it seems like he's played better at Inter and we have been better off without him. It's a shame that he didn't bring the form from his Arsenal days with him at United.
August 6, 20205 yr His half a million a week contract was quite possibly THE worst decision we made in the last 10 years...
August 6, 20205 yr His half a million a week contract was quite possibly THE worst decision we made in the last 10 years... Probably one of the worst transfers in modern football. It was a classic case of the fabled "marquee" signing. Sounds like there's no transfer fee and Inter are still paying his wages. Crazy.
August 14, 20205 yr Is Sancho to Man Utd happening anymore? I honestly can't see it unless they stump up the asking price Dortmund want. Willian has finally gone to Arsenal on a three-year deal. Liverpool have signed Tsimikas as an extra left-back and the Thiago rumours just do not go away. Most bizarre link I have seen so far.. Harry Winks to Manchester City :lol:
August 14, 20205 yr Na, usual Ed Woodward bottlejob probably. Dortmund have been the absolute scourges of our transfer business the past decade or so. Sold us some absolute dross, and stole some of our big targets so unsurprising to see them finding new ways to be problematic.
August 14, 20205 yr Na, usual Ed Woodward bottlejob probably. Dortmund have been the absolute scourges of our transfer business the past decade or so. Sold us some absolute dross, and stole some of our big targets so unsurprising to see them finding new ways to be problematic. I don't get why Woodward just doesn't pay the money if you want him. It's obvious Dortmund have the upper hand in the negotiations. He did exactly the same thing with Maguire and Fernandes, wasted weeks upon weeks only to pay the money in the end. Unless you are actually prepared to walk away and move on to other targets I don't think these clubs will ever take Woodward's negotiation properly.
August 14, 20205 yr Yeah it's pretty incompetent negotiating. Worst of all was the Fellaini one, let's just wait an extra few weeks to pay £12M more for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
August 15, 20205 yr Author Bournemouth have accepted an £18.5m bid for goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale from his former club Sheffield United.
August 17, 20205 yr Author Former Burnley and Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart is set to join Tottenham on a free transfer. The 33-year-old left Burnley when his contract expired on 30 June. Hart, then England keeper, fell from favour after Pep Guardiola arrived at City in 2016, with loans to Torino and West Ham before a 2018 move to Burnley.
August 17, 20205 yr So he's swapping benches? Least the shampoo promotioner gets to train in a better complex!
August 17, 20205 yr So he's swapping benches? Least the shampoo promotioner gets to train in a better complex! I think he's just accepted he will become 3rd choice keeper for a bit to fill a quota and he might get the odd game here and there. He will do that for 2-3 years before one last playing job at any level. Seems to be accepted for English goalkeepers now. Best of both worlds as they get a massive pay day and they pass on their knowledge to younger keepers in the set-up.
August 17, 20205 yr Author David Silva has joined La Liga side Real Sociedad for two seasons. The Spaniard's 10-year spell at City came to an end after Saturday's Champions League defeat by Lyon.
August 22, 20205 yr Author Chelsea are closing in on a deal for Leicester and England left-back Ben Chilwell. The 23-year-old has been a target for Blues boss Frank Lampard despite Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers saying in July that Chilwell was not for sale. But after Leicester finished fifth last season, a Chelsea move would offer Chilwell Champions League football. The Foxes academy product is working his way back from a foot injury that is not thought to be serious. His current contract with Leicester runs until 2024. Chelsea are also interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Kai Havertz.
August 22, 20205 yr Chilwell is probably better than Emerson and Alonso (in a back 4). But I also find him really overrated as well. But for an English left back I suppose that is the going price, it was meant to be £80m pre-Covid.
August 24, 20205 yr Author Jeff Hendrick has joined Newcastle United on a four-year deal after leaving Burnley. The 28-year-old, who has 54 caps for his country, left the Clarets in June and was a free agent. He was signed by Burnley manager Sean Dyche for a then club-record fee of £10.5m in 2016 but was unable to agree a new contract.
