Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

The noises in my head say we have a £200m fund...

Hhhaaa'wwwwaaaaayyyyyy the lads

 

Can someone explain why this is now widely accepted as the way to do transfer business?

Luckily the club weren't a soft touch but arguably Jobe going and meeting several German clubs and his Dad, sorry I meant to say Jobe, setting his sights on a particular one put the club in a weaker bargaining position than 3 or 4 clubs bidding for the chance to open talks!

So why the **** has it got to the point that clubs accept this, I have no doubt it's happened behind the scenes since agents started getting paid fortunes for deals but it's no just reported as if it's the way it's meant to be done!

 

Aye I'm not a huge fan, def annoyed intriguing move for sure

 

Buying clubs don’t want to spend a fortune in fees and wages on a player that doesn’t want to be there (Will Grigg anyone?). And every buying club is also a selling club so you can’t have it both ways.
I think it also speeds up the process in what are relatively short windows. You go through the process to negotiate a fee for the player to then say no and you have to start all over again. And potentially you need those funds for the next deal that you can’t start negotiating until you have the money.
I think it’s all down to practicality that it’s accepted.

 

Can we hope?

 

A random Italian account is saying we want Raspadori

 

And Lookman

 

Wait no sorry that’s wrong

 

He’s now my go to for reliable transfer news

 

We getting Bastoni and Barella while we on then?

 

I could believe raspadori

 

Really? Seems a bit out of our reach no? Or has he had a poor time in Napoli?

 

Raspadori be nice

 

He's just second choice tbh, and the article was saying they're replacing him with lookman so he was free to go elsewhere.

Just not sure what sort of fee hed take these days.

 

Fair enough I haven’t watched serie A this year

i know it has very little relevance to his actual value but transfermarkt has him at €20m

 

Yeah I think he's got ability but starting 1/3 or 1/4 games hasn't helped him there.

Still starts and scores for Italy though.

They had some 20m offers last summer and he's played even less since that season.

 

I had read that Raspadori was looking to leave for game time and that a few teams in Italy were circling but the likes of Roma and Inter are all linked with other options as well. Its not unrealistic although you'd probably expect him to stay in Serie A.

 

His goal per game if you do it off his total minutes is 1 in 2 last season

 

Boo

 

I’ve let go of a few raspadori’s since I had shakshuka for breakfast
