August 24, 20204 yr 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. That's a far cry away from some of the players linked when the Saudis were going to buy them! Announce Thiago Liverpool FC!!!!
August 24, 20204 yr Author Leicester midfielder James Maddison has signed a new four-year contract with the Premier League club, keeping him at the King Power until 2024.
August 24, 20204 yr So was his contract running out this year? Nah, it will have been 2022 or 2023. Ensures he stays for another season at least, possibly two on increased terms and if a bigger club comes in for him (which I honestly can't see right now) Leicester have protected their asset.
August 25, 20204 yr Maddison hit the ground running for Leicester but his form fell off a cliff in 2020.
August 26, 20204 yr Love the Messi logic - he wants to leave Barcelona to win a couple more Champions Leagues titles, so let's try and engineer a move to Manchester City who have never been to the final :lol: Looks highly likely he is on the move, I suspect he will end up at City.
August 26, 20204 yr I'm still shocked. Barca literally paid for his medicine for him to even be a footballer let alone go on to become one of the est ever. I thought that alone would be goodwill enough for him to never leave, never mind all the glory they've experienced together. Seems very kneejerk based on one bad season but I imagine there must be far more to it than what we know. Didn't he & Pep fall out? Thought that would be the turn-off with City never mind their European failures. I wonder if PSG are more likely, certainly one of the only teams who could even afford him and they've set a precedent with Neymar...

I wonder if PSG are more likely, certainly one of the only teams who could even afford him and they've set a precedent with Neymar... Half of me thinks it's a strategic move to force the current President out, but it also seems from reading between the lines that he is very close with Suarez and now Suarez has been shown the door, Messi is trying to engineer a move away. The thing is even if he is allowed to leave on a free, he's on about £1m Euros per week. I think Italy might be appealing as their tax is more favourable. I like him a lot and he would be a fantastic addition to any big team but it's the ultimate knee jerk signing. Man City would literally be signing him for the sake of it. They already smash teams 5-6 nil regularly and while Messi is a great player he doesn't track back anymore.
August 26, 20204 yr Author Chelsea have signed England left-back Ben Chilwell from Leicester on a five-year deal.
August 26, 20204 yr Chelsea have signed England left-back Ben Chilwell from Leicester on a five-year deal. Frank “I promote youth” Lampard was just a myth then :lol:
August 28, 20204 yr Author Chelsea have completed the signing of Thiago Silva, joining on a one-year contract with the option of a further 12 months.
August 28, 20204 yr Author Crystal Palace have completed the signing of QPR forward Eberechi Eze on a five-year deal for £19.5m. The highly-rated England Under-21 international started every game and scored 14 goals for QPR in the Championship last season.
August 28, 20204 yr Chelsea are like the kid who got nothing for Xmas last year being adopted by millionaires and giving everything they want this time around. Silva is mega though, he's one of the best modern defenders even at his age. Up there with Pique & Ramos. Talk about a diamond in the rough for that defence!
August 28, 20204 yr Not a huge fan of Silva myself but maybe my opinion is tainted by his World Cup performances, he may prove me wrong!
August 28, 20204 yr Author Australia midfielder Aaron Mooy has joined Shanghai SIPG from Brighton for an undisclosed fee. Mooy, 29, signed for the Seagulls on a three-and-a-half year deal in January having initially joined on loan from Huddersfield Town in August 2019.
