I hope the mancs sign Dembele. 

They’re not interested by the looks of it. Barca appear to have been using their name to drum up interest.

[Anubis]

Some bizarre takes on Fulham forums regarding Carvalho. One idiot thinks we’ve offered him £100k per week wages!

200M, from reports.

Ah right, for some reason i thought it was around £80M.

Saw they were still looking for £20m for him, a week or so after saying he has to leave immediately.

It's a bizarre tactic. Madrid did similar with Bale, made a song and dance about him having to leave, then being surprised no one wanted to give them a fee.

Went on one and someone said we only paid £1.2m for Elliot, it was £4.3m and still cheap at the price.

Especially when anybody can sign him for free in 6 months. 
 

If I was at a club who wanted him, I’d tell Barca it’s a free transfer or a loan with no fee for the reminder of his contract, covering 100% of his wages. Barca will save £5m in wages by just getting rid of him. 
 

Only a complete dipshit would pay a fee at this point.

They seem to think we'll pay them £12m for Carvalho, and give them a sell-on clause to boot. Seeing that he'll be available in a matter of months for a nominal tribunal fee, I don't know how they've come to that conclusion.

I fear the £15 million fee the mancs wanted for Lingard's 6 month loan to Newcastle has turned quite a few clubs heads.

[Boss]

It's probably bullshit, but a couple of rumours have come out about West Ham being in for Origi.

[El Rojo]

Wout Weghorst to Burnley. Hopefully he'll score more than Chris Wood and get them above Newcastle. 

 

He's six foot six. Hearing unofficially that they might try and exploit his heading ability. 

[Funkasy]

Eriksen to brentford, has a player played before in the PL with a pacemaker?

Thought dembele had agreed terms with PSG.

Barcelona tried to send him to Paris but they don’t want him and he does not want to go there if you believe what L’Equipe wrote this morning.

Another Newcastle signing…

 

 

Seeing Geordies on Twitter “buzzing” at their signings, but to me, they are mostly meh…

 

Trippier - Good player.

Wood - Shite. 
This Brazilian midfielder - He has 3 Brazil caps in a squad where Fred is an ever present and not played for them since 2020. Can’t help that think if he was that good, he wouldn’t be going to Newcastle.

Dan Burn - Meh.

Ekitike - Never heard of him until 15 mins ago, his stats look good to be fair. Unsure he’ll be an instant starter.

 

To me, Newcastle are alright going forward. St Maximan, on his day, is a threat, Almiron, Wilson & Friaser are Premiership quality players.

 

Defensively & midfield they are a mess, I don’t see Dan Burn sorting the defensive mess out and it’s a lot to ask Guimarães of in midfield.

 

It all feels very scattergun. 

Guimaraes is very good, consistent. Probably Lyon’s best player since he went there.

And Burnley, although they just signed Weghorst.

Charlie Adam is a fair bet.

[El Rojo]

Aaron Ramsey to Rangers from Juventus is one of the odder rumours today. 

[El Rojo]

Bild reporting that Mbappe will join Real Madrid on a free in the summer.

His curves were worth £10m alone.

Would Madrid go for both Mbappe and Haaland?

[John102]

Given all the interest in Phillips, it does feel a bit odd that he is ending up on loan at Bournemouth.

Reparations for all that we've done to Bournemouth in past transfer windows. 

[El Rojo]

One year since we signed Ozan Kabak. Decent defender, world class song.

Apparently in for Neco Williams on loan too. If there are options to buy at the usual Liverpool > Bournemouth exchange rate and they get promoted, that's Diaz paid for.
