Premier League Here We Come Transfer Thread

Is he a good plasterer though

 

He was decent when he had all his workers with him, but they quit, so I think he's alone now.......

 

Aye outstanding but hes a bit injury prone plenty days off. He wouldnt pass his medical

 

Mine got a whoosh reaction

 

French Media claiming that the transfer of Habib Diarra is imminent

 

Can’t find this reported anywhere?

 

One of the clickbait sites says "according to French media reports" etc etc which then provides a link to a French clickbait site, which according to Google Translate says this

EXCLUSIVE TeamFootball – Strasbourg is accelerating its search to replace Habib Diarra, targeting Mahamadou Doumbia, the Antwerp midfielder approved by Chelsea. A strategic deal estimated at €10 million, reflecting the growing momentum of the BlueCo project.
Mahamadou Doumbia, Royal Antwerp defensive midfielder, is being targeted by RC Strasbourg to succeed Habib Diarra, who is leaving for Leeds. Approved by Chelsea, he embodies the BlueCo strategy: young, impactful, and promising. A €10 million transfer is becoming clear, despite competition from European clubs.

 

Rob Dorset at sky is repeating it as well

 

Haven’t Sky Sports just employed all the people from the click bait sites rather than proper journalists these days?

 

What's a proper journalist in the social media age?

 

Exactly

 

But is it to Leeds?

 

The fabrizio lad seems to be about the pick of them. Seems to get most right. Has anyone noticed the number of kids doing podcasts from their bedrooms under the banner of some club. I’m guessing there’s about a half dozen staff at Leeds who know our targets

 

Why are you looking at kids in their bedrooms ffs

 

There's talk of cresswell moving to serie A for £14.5m

not that much different to what we're paying for Bivol

but don't worry guys, we have a 15% sell on clause to soften the blow

 

He waits until his contacts tell him it's a goer - so he's rarely first but rarely wrong.

 

I’d far prefer that approach than the nonsense of linking 100 names in the hope one sticks. Few cares anyway until a player is ready to put pen to paper

 

The Sunderland board, they are on page 565 of the summer transfer thread, page 194 on the Hull forum
