Rival watch

Proof that rcl is an amateur compared to me
(7 pt backdated deduction beckons) .

 

Looks like Milan are on a mission to be this summer's big spenders based on their deals thus far
Ricardo Rodriguez - €15m
Mateo Musaccio - €18m
Franck Kessie - €8m loan fee with a €20m obligation to buy
Andre Silva - €38m

 

I've signed Andre Silva on one of my previous FM saves, if he's anything like the game version, Milan have just inherited one hell of a striker.

 

Everton have agreed a £30m deal with Sunderland for Jordan Pickford.

He's a very promising player but that's a fortune for a GK. He'll become the most expensive GK in PL history if the deal goes through, having completed just a single PL season.

Utter madness.

 

They've agreed £30m a week after bidding £8m ?

 

aka doing an inverse Levy.

 

That's what happens when you open with a laughable lowball bid for a player with options.

 

£30m a week. Getting silly now.

 

Looks like the annual Griezman to Man Utd stories have been put to bed early.

 

Holding on for a year in the hope that when he signs for Spurs
he will be playing home games at new WHL.

 

It looks like Derek McInnes is going to take over at Sunderland, as they've agreed compensation with Aberdeen.
He's done well at Aberdeen, I guess. Probably not the most inspiring move ever, though.

 

Agreeing a deal with loads of add-on's with Sunderland is a pretty good idea. Their owner wants out, they've just been relegated, the only good players they had are leaving and their new manager is ajudged to be a bit ****.

Agree to huge additional payments in 5 years time, by when they'll be begging to sell them for £1m and Tommy Forecast. 'The Double Levy' as it's known in the trade.

 

Spanish prosecutors have filed a lawsuit against the Oily Rat for £13m worth of tax fraud between 2011-14

Looking forward to the follow-up suit that covers the years 2015-17...

 

He's punching above his weight in the Championship.
The SPL is at the same level as League One.

 

You're being generous there Luke. Take Celtic out and it's League 2 tops. Some teams in there wouldn't be out of place in non-league divisions.

 

Leicester set to sign Maguire for a reported £12m plus £5m in add-ons. Decent signing for them and at a reasonable price.

 

They definitely need some fresh legs at the back and he can cover two positions that they need to strengthen.
Seems like a very sensible signing.

 

Lots of talk circulating of Wenger (and Arsenals) interest in Mbappe & Lemar at Monaco and Lacazette at Lyon - but do they really have a realistic shot at that level of young player?
Cash-rich we are always told, so transfer fees and wages not a problem, but no CL to offer and I wouldn't imagine the most attractive proposition for top young talent.
Money talks, but personally think their aspirations this year may outdo their capabilities......

 

This bloke might do a decent job at Southampton: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40289256

...it's either him or several days worth of David Moyes memes.

 

Maybe they could bring back Lawrie Mcmenemenem,............ Lawrie Macmenemennyme..........Lawrie Mac..............**** it! Pardew's out of work isn't he?
