The transfer thread

[SteveAWOL]

Understand #avfc have rejected a player-plus-cash approach from Tottenham for Jacob Ramsey. Deal was £20million plus Giovani Lo Celso. Villa have no interest in selling Ramsey. Still seen as key part of Unai Emery's squad. More @ExpressandStar.

FWIW, Okeefe says no bid made as yet

There has been no formal bid from Tottenham for Jacob Ramsey. I think some people are potentially taking informal talks between some intermediaries as an actual bid. As of yet, no movement. https://t.co/lQj0QQHD2P

Says no official bid but indicates that there is genuine interest there at least

Some Leeds ITK said we would announce Archie Gray on 1st July

New financial year. Help with ffp for next season. They were ok for this (3 year period) with the sales of raphina etc...

Here's hoping. Never seen him play. So will trust the hype.

See that he’s been almost as injury prone this year as Sessegnon, maybe getting some assurances that he’s over those issues as last thing we need is to swap Lo Celso with someone who is even less available to play.

Would love that to be true. I'd be more excited about that than any other transfer this summer. Well, maybe Isak. But those two.

True
But he is a quality player

Did not realise he had two hamstring injuries.

On that alone it is a no go for me. Would rather the lad at Hull.

£30m seems very cheap. I was expecting more like £40m + Rodon.

Mind you, we did get Lennon and Rose off then for about £1.5m combined, so maybe Levy has photos of one of their directors?

This is quite an interesting video to watch. It's from the game a few months ago where he bossed the midfield against Caicedo, Fernandez and Gallagher

£30m seems cheap to you? Couldn't lend me £10k could you?

Jokes aside. He's promising. But still 18 and only played in the championship for a season. Clarke, winks and rodon look great at that level.

Going to Brentford

Going to Brentford

For £35m. That is very disappointing as a Spurs fan, but could make sense because he has a family that "knows football" so they want him to actually start games (at Brentford) rather than sit on the bench at Spurs/Cheats/Arse.

A prem move for him is progress
Brentford is a great step up
Shame because he could do several roles for us but it’s a good move for him for sure

 

[Chrissivad]

Hopefully we have someone else lined up. I'm sure we will see a flurry of transfers this weekend, and I hope we start to make some moves from Monday.

 

[Denmark Spur]

It seems a case of when not if now before Archie Gray becomes a Premier League player. Medical due at Brentford in what could be a deal near £40m I’m told plus add ons. But interest in him is intense so with Spurs etc still hovering nothing finalised yet. #LUFC

I get the sentiment, but Gray would absolutely be playing plenty of games for us at both CM and right back. He wouldn't have been wasting away on the bench for us. He is special, not having a go at the club but he will be worth way way more than 35m in a couple of years and exactly the sort of signing I'd of thought we would be all over.....

Another Wharton moment.

We can’t sign every promising youngster.
