CBA wading through the endless billion pound rumours listed in the other thread We’re linked with Eze at QPR, supposedly for £10-15m plus Mawson Would absolutely take that. Mawson is a decent player but he’s not done a lot here and injuries have hindered whatever momentum he’s had. Eze is excellent and versatile.
Duffy on loan to Celtic for £2,000,000. Button to West Brom for £1,000,000 Montoya to Real Betis for f*ck knows. Decent chunk off the wage bill there.
Rodrigo is the latest one we're linked with. Our chairman and DoF have flown out to Valencia, so must be something in it. Talk of anywhere between €25-35m for him. An expensive backup to Bamford imo...
Don't really know much about him, but obviously playing for them and with Spain, he must be decent. Will see, we do need to get a move on with getting a couple in. Think we'll end up doing 3 or 4 incoming in total.
Be interesting to see who spends more out of Leeds and fulham, think it's safe to say both will have bigger budgets. Read Leeds already spent 20m on costa and the young keeper ? We've spent 8.25m on regaining pereria. Still 3 key players down on from last season in Robinson, diangana & krovinovic. Heavily linked with returns of robinson(permanent) & krovinovic(another loan which would be great business). Can't see diangana returning We still need many players. 2nd/3rd choice keeper, left back, center back, wingers, attacking mids & certainly strikers ( under 2 weeks away starting with a strike force of Kanu, Austin. Zohore which will see us relegated as things stand) Hopefully things will speed up.
@CPFC2010 hmm we shall see. I can't see us signing anyone for 16m out right. Good signing for you guys though
£16m for Costa was agreed before he came on loan last season and the fee was split up over four years so the outlay this summer on him has only been about 4-5m I believe. Meslier was about £5m. We are about to spend roughly £25m on Rodrigo plus performance related add-ons. I expect we will probably end up paying 15-20m for a centre back and probably something in that region again for an attacking mid and that will be us done.
Ornstein saying that we've had a <£20M bid turned down for Maitland-Niles. I've got to be honest, I'm really not that bothered about this transfer. There are other options out there and we should in no way get dragged into a bidding war and end up paying over the odds.
Doesn't look like anything coming our way. Mendy, Vardy and Maddison have signed new contracts. Chilwell and Slimani are off. But nothing more than weak rumours really. Maddison, Fuchs, Evans and Ricardo all out for the start of the season. We're going to have an even weaker line-up than we ended the season with against West Brom unless we get someone in sharpish.
