Would anyone still take Antoine Griezmann? Seems unsettled at Atletico and Barca don't want him back.

Surely the first time you got laid in a vehicle pre-dates the automobile?

I definitely had you pegged as a horse drawn cart filled with hay sort of guy.

Haha then that would be an old 'box' Vauxhall Viva I paid £100 for in 1976

Aside from age and wages, where would he fit in?
I do think NUFC will go for an ageing glamour name and pay them £800k a week plus

Haha. A gentleman never tells. Neither do I.

Froggy had no hesitation.

You are clearly under the misapprehension I was ever some sort of gentleman!

Or… the other party involved is a gentleman for not mentioning it…,

 

[tomasjj]

Griezmann is good but old, and would be just a sideways move if we wanted to replace Firmino.

 

[Hansern]

Newcastle

Nothing regarding their transfer business so far screams of any horrendous deals like what it would take to get Griezmann. Think they will take another approach in all honesty.

 

[Judge Jules]

Agreed. The time will come IMO when they start seriously splashing the cash but they'll want to get themselves higher up the league first.

This thread about Judge and you has Dumbledore / Grindelwald vibes...

He'd actually be a good fit for us but too old, too expensive and too similar to Jota... so probably not.

Liverpool are among the early frontrunners to sign Bellingham – Jobe Bellingham.

The Reds have asked to be kept informed of the youngster’s situation at Birmingham City. Premier League clubs have been put on alert the 16-year-old, brother of Borussia Dortmund and England star Jude, could be up for grabs.

Jobe has been offered scholarship terms by the Blues, but is free to sign a contract with other clubs from next season. However, Birmingham are fighting to keep hold of the young forward and are believed to be giving him assurances over his future development.

Get both of em in

I've said for a while we should target the younger Bellingham. Will cost less than Carvalho.

Bad news is, most other clubs have the same idea.

If I was him I'd go to the club where I'm going to get most games.

Yeah… but the club that plays him most often are unlikely to be able to provide Klopp hugs.

France Football report that scouts for Premier League side Liverpool have placed 24-year-old Brazilian attacking midfielder Raphinha at the top of their shortlist for targets that they intend to recommend for the summer.

Raphinha joined Leeds United in summer from Rennes for around €20m and has become an undisputed starter in Marcelo Bielsa’s starting XI this season.

I have heard he is a great player.

Heard? OK Bobby.. what are you selling? Cleats or Art work?

That would be Birmingham.
I have no idea about this kid. But if he is that good, then sign him and loan him back to Birmingham City for two seasons

 

[Hansern]

Thats not a bad deal for Villa:

 

[Markeh]

Thats not a bad deal for Villa:

I’d nearly take him back for those numbers

 

[Woland]

It was widely reported when we sold him to Barcelona he was on 170k a week as our top paid player and he was taking a cut to 150k per week to join Barcelona as it was his dream. Did they increase this to 480k when he was on the bench or is this just more bullshit?

 

[Hansern]

Seems as though he was earning about 24,5 mill € per year in 2021.

 

[Donavan Ried]

Thats not a bad deal for Villa:

If we could get him for that I would resign him.
He is a great little player, and we know what it is he can bring and what he adds to the team.
I think of where we are now in the title race, and those game we have drawn or lost and the difference he would have made especially with the free kicks around the opposition box and his conversion rate compered to TAA. i would resign him for that a lone. £125k a week?? The Ox gets £120k and he is shit

Well he's signed for Villa so the ship has sailed.

How? Neymar wasn't earning near that when they signed him. No way Phil got a pay rise since he's been there. It's all bollocks

No idea, could be all bollocks. The taxes in Spain with these type of figures are about 50% I think, so maybe some are using the pre and some post tax numbers.

17 mill and 125k are decent though for him. Villa got a good deal.
