Transfer thread

Ultimately people can speculate but the clubs won't actually confirm publicly what has been paid for each player, will they?

Depends I think, it could be “for a combined fee of” or perhaps we get a “for a fee which could rise up to..” type announcement. Or maybe we just say “undisclosed fee” either way I’m just glad I’m not signing the cheque 😂
 
Apparently there is/was another Premier League club who were in negotiations for Marmoush. Wonder if it was Saudi Sportswashing Machine or Villa.
 
Ornstein is reporting that Palhinha is being sold to Benfica for 14m euros with 5m more add-ons. That's a big hit for Bayern, and also shows the Premier League Premium considering the amounts being mentioned when he was linked back with us as well as Villa or Saudi Sportswashing Machine.
 
with Richy or Solanke? I'd feel 0 confidence. 😆

Arteta just loves buying defenders, he's a defence first safety conscience manager.
and there's nothing wrong with that. but he lacks an attacking approach that makes him a great manager.
his best attempt at it is cheating and bending the rules in his favour.

that said in a few pre season matches and charity shield i see he has been working on an early cross in front of the defence line for an attacker to run into and past the defenders. guimares is the right guy for this tactic. who knows, he's a young manager and can only improve.

My hope is that their will breaks with the style of football, its a massive ask to play that way and keep coming again, Rice looked cooked at the world cup and unlikely that the summer will be enough rest. We will see.
