Fabrizio confirming. You got your man.

Heh, we're fickle. Love Ronaldo, glad he scored a bunch of goals for us and would be super happy to cheer him on this year. If he goes, he goes. Hopefully we get some people that can put the ball in the net.

Nice to see we've made the Malacia deal official. Telles is pretty meh and Shaw is iffy. And Shaw loses guys at the back post too much. Need MOAR deelzz.

Yeah, I saw that. Disappointed. It actually doesn't show much faith in himself. He could go to a club and be a central figure in their target to be a European team (Leicester for example) but he's settling for being a bench player at Manchester.

Gets triple the money at United.
Easy decision.

Love the work at Arsenal at the moment. Still need a left back to challenge/cover Tierney and an extra midfielder.
Tielemans still on the radar, but apparently we made a move for Milenkovic-Savic. That would be mental.

Bayern have signed 9 year old Alex Jr. Hentcho
and two others (12 and 14 y/o) from Mainz youth academy.

Disgusting.

Yeah, I understand that. How are you feeling about all your transfer activity? Looking good for the new season?

You answered before I even asked :-)

Are the Tielemans discussions for real? He's a good player but do you need him when you have Odegaard etc... He's a starter after all and I can't see him agreeing to be on the bench.

This is a new trend for big clubs. It's sad because many of these players won't progress as well at the big clubs as they would at their own local clubs and the pressure suddenly magnifies on them.

Apparently we've had an offer accepted but not yet decided whether to go through with it for Bourigeaud from Rennes. Quite cheap and a good player. I've only seen him twice against Leicester but the Rennes fans love him. I'd be happy with that especially if we can sell Soumaré to Monaco for a decent fee.

dutch football watchers - What are your views on Orkun Kokcu of Feyenoord. We've been linked.

I was about to mention the Kokcu interest, I think this one has legs as well.

He’s a good player from what I’ve seen of him still young as well, I’d imagine this may be a replacement for Tielemans?

Looks like Sterling to Chelsea is done or close to it

Good signing, my only problem is that Boehly naivety may have him overpaying for players. Especially cause he sacked off the people that could help him with the transition, it's a bit odd that the owner also wants to be the sporting director. I dunno, maybe its just me but I think he'll be in for a rude awakening.

LDNMagic90 · Post #354 » by **LDNMagic90** » Wed Jul 6, 2022 5:29 pm

I think Villa are closing in on a new LB - Sergio Gomez is a name to look out for. Maybe as close as this week I couldn't even tell you fully because it's a nightmare trying to get info from some teams in the prem.

Djed Spence will get unveiled soon as well for Tottenham, same with Lenglet.

Tottenham are going to be a force next season don't be surprised if they challenge the top 3.

I'm trying not to get carried away, but I really love our signings so far. It's been an exciting window and there could still be more business to come.

But we'll have to see how Spurs' rivals shape up. Still months of window left.

It‘s also completely impossible to judge whether a 9 y/o can become a pro player.
These deals should be banned.

Apparently our reps are in Holland asking for permission to talk to Madueke and Kokcu

When I think of a prem team taking Madueke I can only imagine Leicester, he'll do very well with you guys.

Madueke is very talented, but injury prone. But very good player.

Kokcu had a good second half of the season. I don't really see it in him. He has the talent, but I feel he is overrated. I also don't think he has enough power to play in PL. It would be better for him to stay at least another year at Feyenoord.
