Transfer Rumours Summer ins and outs

Outs for me -
Bailly, Jones, Maguire, Telles, Williams (reluctantly), Van de Beek, McTominay, Greenwood and Martial. If we can't pull in more than £150m from nine sales then we're ****ed already. If we manage that and more, we can look for ward to a decent window.

Ins -
Kane, Rice/Mount (reluctantly) Kim Min-jae and new keeper.

Sorted

 

I'd be very surprised if you get 150m for those players though having said that the transfer market these days just strikes me as totally out of control and pretty irresponsible .

 

Bailly £15m
Jones £2.75p
Maguire £45m
Telles £25m
Williams £25m
Van de Beek £35m
McTominay £25m
Greenwood £40m
Martial £35m

Reasonable fees IMHO

 

cannot see any English club giving you anything for Greenwood and most of Europe are skint plus they know you want rid so cannot see any more than £10m personally .
Bailly injury record means anyone who takes a chance on him will want to be paying pennies
Telles i know nowt about
McTominay and Maguire seem reasonable in fact you may do slightly better due to HG "tax"
anyone who pays £35m for VDB needs locking up for their own good .
Martial if you get £35m you will have done well

as for VDB anyone who pays £35m for him needs locking up for their own good .

though i have to reiterate i'm constantly amazed at the sums clubs are chucking around on very average players .

 

We sold Dan James for £25m so I'd use that as a barometer for sale price on our British players and he hardly got a game for us after buying him from Swansea.

So McTominay and Maguire will be well above that. Williams who I think has more potential than McTominay will probably be lowere, around the £20m+ mark.

Greenwood has 2 years remaining on his contract.

If we cannot terminate his contract then he will be sold abroad. I think it will likely be a loan deal e.g. £10m with an option to buy at the end.

 

I did read somewhere that Juve were keen on buying him.

 

Any European team that takes him on loan will definitely go on to buy him.

He may be a lowlife human being but he's a top prospect and will be an absolute bargain for any European club.

Personally I don't care as long as we get him off the books, but I don't see why we won't get a decent fee for him after a loan spell even with a year left on his contract at the end, because any club who's had him for a year won't want to lose him. And everyone else in Europe will be watching him and they'll be in for him if the loan club isn't.

 

Btw shame Napoli isn't. Could make a nice bargaining chip for Osimhen

 

Slightly off topic - De Gea earns £1.4 million a month, he has married a very talented and popular singer and they chose to hold the wedding in menorca, an island paradise in the med. They could have had their pick of any of the magnificent settings that we have - castles, private beach clubs, stunning private islands to stage their wedding - but no. De Gea chose to get married in a disused quarry....... but at least he and his missus posed for some unforgettable photos.. What a setting, what a plonker. As a footnote, of all his clubmates past and present, Juan Mata was the only face from the club.

 

Ever thought it might have some special meaning for them?
