It's amazing that they spent 125M this season without actually getting any better.

White (50M) + Ramsdale (25M) + Odegaard (35m) + Lokonga (15m).

I guess they're building for the long term and if some of the bets pay off, they'll have a nice side in 2-3 years. Fair play to them if it works out, but this season has to be a write off regardless of whether it works out or not in the longer term. I'd be very surprised if they finish in the top 6.
 
Ramsdale is absolutely awful. And if you’re paying 24m (rising to 30m) for a keeper, you’re not planning on him being back up.

140m spent this season and I don’t think they’ve really improved.

Does seem very odd, they aren't even paying his wages, so it's still costing us money.

I thought we had a potential buyer lined up. If he's not in our plans, take 5M-10M, or whatever, put some money in the bank and save a few mil in salary too.

They are paying HALF his wages. And United the other half. So yes its costing us money, but half of what it would have cost us if he stayed. @mazhar13 is right.

Not sure how your original points stands since you clearly say they aren't evening paying his wages, when in fact they are, even if its half, that's the point. Unless the last part is the point you referring to, that he is still costing us money, then yes, but not the wages part.

Ødegaard and White will improve them no doubt, but not immensly no

I think he just doesn't want to be sold to a European side for 'a few million' and prefers to go on loan where he is going to get plenty of game time, in the hope that is picked for the Brazilian National team for the WC.

If he's that good, then there would be a place for him at United, or any number of European clubs.

Fred he ain't.
 


I can't believe Bentaleb's still looking for a club. Schalke really are struggling to let go of some of their higher-earning/unmotivated players. Also, "FC Genua" = Genoa CFC in Italy
 

The Fiorentina owner's desire, the [contract] renewal idea, [and] the [player's] representative's interests. The Vlahovic transfer is a big mess. Atletico Madrid is doing its thing: offer of €50 million + €10 million [in bonuses] + 20% future sale. At the moment he is still there and he does not stop believing. We will see if it will be enough. Difficult transfer.

It looks like any team will find it difficult to acquire Vlahovic this summer unless the player himself tells Commiso that he wants to leave.

Yeah, if he becomes the no. 1 then we can call him a 30m signing. But he's a 24m signing otherwise. 10m english player tax, so a 14m signing really.

You can dress it up as much as you like. You’re overpaying again and I am loving every second of it.
 
Relevant because this can affect football teams' abilities to buy players and pay for the transfers

I'm pretty sure his contract expired over the summer. But Schalke do indeed struggle to offload players.

United, City, Liverpool, Chelsea all miles ahead of Arsenal. Leicester, West Ham, Spurs probably too. Maybe some others even.

Ben White was £50m!! and Ramsdale is replacing Leno who they kept over Martinez. The entire clubs a mess and neither White or Ramsdale are going to go from average Pl players to top 6 quality any time soon. And even if they did, the rest of the team isn’t anywhere near the squads of the top.4 so the very best they could hope for is 5th IF Leicester, Spurs, West Ham and others all have poor seasons.

I can’t see Arsenal in the top 6 in the next 2 or 3 seasons never mind this one.

You're right. His contract did expire. His situation just reminded me of Schalke players like Kabak, who's yet to leave Schalke.

  • Raiola is talking to Gladbach to see if they're willing to sell Thuram.
  • Zapata no longer an option for Inter
    • Atalanta unable to find a replacement
  • Inter still interested in Joaquín Correa and Lorenzo Insigne
    • Potential offer for Insigne towards the end of the transfer window (depends on Alexis Sanchez's injury situation)
  • Inter feeling about extending Lautaro's contract
  • Andrea Pinamonti most likely leaving for Empoli
 


Toma Basic is a central midfielder who can potentially play more attacking roles if needed. Fee: €10 million
 
Gigi's brother Antonio looks likely to leave Milan, too.


Padova's sporting director Sean Sogliano on the transfer:
[Donnarumma new Padova keeper?]
We'll see, it could be possible, we'll see.

[For an ambitious Padova a significant keeper?]
We're a humble club that wants to do things well, that is most important. If the thing materializes, then it's a good opportunity for him.
