Savage Henry Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Wolves sign Patrick Cutrone from Milan for £16 million. Brighton close to signing Adam Webster from Bristol City for a club record £20 million. The fee looks OTT to me. Nicholas Pepe is having his Arsenal medical before a £72 million move. ETA - Jurgen Klopp has punted Ben Woodburn out on loan to Oxford United. League One is a big step down for a Welsh international.Arsenal are making their £45 million budget go a long way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last chance saloon for him at Liverpool if that. Whats your opinion on Bobby Duncan. How far away is he from the top team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him playing for last seasons u18s at Blackburn and didn’t think he had a great game but he still scored. Klopp seems to rate him wonder if he’ll be loaned out too or stay and play 23s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Burnley have accepted Villa's £8m bid for Tom Heaton. IMHO Heaton is better than Nick Pope (marginally) and the hapless Joe Hart. Burnley need to invest in quality new players. Re-signing Rodriguez and bringing in Pieters, journeymen at this level, shows a lack of commitment from the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-signing Rodriguez and bringing in Pieters, journeymen at this level, shows a lack of commitment from the board.But what's realistically the option for a team like Burnley, spend 30 or 40 million in transfer feez on two or three players to move a place or two up the league. In all honestly Burnley aren't likely to ever (on a regular basis) challenge for European places without major investment (this goes for other clubs but Burnley are a prime example). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.Hood Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Jean-Philippe Gbamin is set to have his Everton medical on Thursday ahead of his €30m transfer from Mainz, according to Sky Germany. He will sign a five-year contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Gbamin is a very tidy player and one I thought would have gone on to bigger things back when he was at Lens. No idea how he got on in Germany. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honestly Burnley aren't likely to ever (on a regular basis) challenge for European places without major investment (this goes for other clubs but Burnley are a prime example). It's a matter of survival, not moving up. All clubs will receive huge television income from the EPL this year, much more even if they are mid table. With the security of parachute payments, it's hard to understand why they are so reluctant to strengthen the team. Burnley have signed ageing players who played in the Championship last season. Rodriguez, funded by the sale of Heaton, replaces Crouch. Pieters would not have cost much and he wasn't great at Stoke either. Meh! I'm not expecting Villa or Wolves levels of spending, just a few younger players to improve a squad that really struggled last season. Current net spending, given the club's income, so far is a pittance - much lower than Norwich, Sheffield United and Brighton. Atm, Burnley must be among the favourites to go down if they don't invest properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Chelsea's Kasey Palmer joins Tomas Kalas and Jay DaSilva at Bristol City on permanent deals. All three were on loan at Ashton Gate last season. Astute business, especially Palmer who was on a pre-season tour with Chelsea this summer. Chelsea have received over £160 million in transfer fees this summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Dodi Lukebakio (no, me neither) has apparently been sold by Watford to Hertha Berlin for 20 million Euros. If true then it would represent an amazing bit of business for the hornets, a little research shows me that they bought him from Anderlecht in January 2018 for 5 million euros, he made 1 sub appearance for them and now they have flogged him for a 15 million euro profit!

Tartan Dave Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 With regards to pepe deal. Read that lille had sold the contract to an agency or whatever for about ten mill shy of full price. So arsenal will infact pay the money to said agency over the years rather than lille. An interesting insight into way some transfers can work I thought 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevieda Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I thought FIfa banned third party owners/transfers or whatever?Sounds more like a finance deal where arsenal pay in instalments but a funder gives lille the full amount upfront minus a discount, then arsenal repay the funder.

Stevieda Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Common? Who else has done this? First I have ever head of it. Also dodgy as f**k.Very common, it started off as being popular at championship level transfers but has spread across england and Europe. Nothing dodgy about it, if you're due £20m in a years time you can bring in £18m now and use the future cashflow as security against the borrowing. In that scenario the lender makes £2m interest. There would be a deed signed to say the payments are made directly to the lender from the buyer. Pretty basic structure finance deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
