General/Non-Spurs Transfers

[spursfan77]

I think this is going to be an interesting sprint to the close of the window after the World Cup.

You are basically looking at 2 1/2 weeks for the English clubs to conclude their business - which is not much time at all for all the moving parts to fit into place.

Initially, I was in favor of the FA moving the transfer deadline up to the start of the season, but given the World Cup this summer, I think it might have been more prudent to start that policy next season.

I agree but in fairness the clubs have known this has been coming for nearly a year and should be prepared for it. I’m quite interested to see how levy uses it to leverage deals actually.

So this is how transfers work:

Sam Johnstone: Man United -> West Brom

Lee Grant - replaces Johnstone: Stoke -> Man United

Adam Federici - replaces Grant: Bournemouth -> Stoke


All announced at about the same time. It takes a while for all the pieces to fall in place even for squad players.

See Aouar has signed a new deal with Lyon until 2023.

Real Madrid have reportedly agreed a €272m deal with PSG to sign Kylian Mbappé, set to be paid over four instalments. This is reported by Baptiste Ripart who was also correct about Griezmann’s renewal and Lemar joining Atlético. Amazing if true.

Also has this:

Surely this can't be true.

 

[Univarn]

This is why you always take silly season in small doses. Severe risk of overdosing with too much exposure.

 

[tiger666]

Surely this can't be true.

No idea. Seems an ideal place for an ageing Ronaldo to go though.

Surely this can't be true.

Also this:

That's what? 500k a week? Do Juventus have that kind of money?

That's what makes it unlikely for me. Going by Juventus' net spend over many years, I can't see how they can afford him. Maybe the fee, if they sell Higuan and Dybala. But not the wages.

 

[Dan Stallworthy]

I thought Juventus had a wage structure similar to ours? Can't see how they would finance Ronaldo and keep there top players happy on less than half what he would be on.
