Other clubs transfer news (home and abroad)

He did play a lot of games for Benfica prior to joining Forest prior to joining Newcastle though -- and he probably has more CL experience than anyone in either club... 😀 So not exactly a keeper with no top-flight experience, just not (much) in England (5 games for Forest).

But hey, what's this? (old article, 2024):

Yeah I was very dismissive of his Portuguese credentials

But still
 
Terrible pun attempt.. just makes you look like you are drunk on the fizzy wine again

I liked it - but then I was running a temperature, having fever dreams where I was acting like I had Olympic class Tourette’s when it came to me - my personal favourite was yelling out at 3am “Man Utd can go fuck themselves and Brighton can shove Baleba up their holes.. pack of fucking cunts”.

I was very close to going with Chris Karmaesque “unbalebable Jeff!!!”.

Couldn’t get “I can’t Baleba’s not butter” to quite work…

Newcastle United expect to complete the signing of the Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey in a £38million deal that could be finalised on Wednesday.

Ramsey, 24, will sign a long-term contract to move to St James’ Park and become the club’s fourth major signing of the summer. It means Newcastle, who had endured a difficult and frustrating transfer window, will have spent close to £70million in two days, having completed the £30million signing of the German defender Malick Thiaw from AC Milan on Tuesday evening.

Newcastle were locked in successful talks with Ramsey’s representatives on Tuesday and a deal is now said to be very close.

Eddie Howe, the Newcastle head coach, has been a fan of the attacking midfielder for a long time. Newcastle had failed in previous bids but Ramsey, considered the ideal age by the club’s recruitment team, has just 12 months remaining on his contract at Villa Park.

Villa also received an approach from West Ham United
but Ramsey favoured a move to St James’ Park. The deal will represent pure profit for Villa under the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules, with Ramsey having joined the club as a six-year-old. He gained 16 England Under-21 caps while at Villa Park.

The impending deal will be further relief for Howe, who had spoken at the weekend of his concerns about the size of his squad before a return to the Champions League. The double addition of Ramsey and Thiaw, however, will be seen as a potential turning point. Newcastle have already signed the forward Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest for £55million and the goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale from Southampton on an initial loan deal with a view to a possible permanent move.

Newcastle’s major concern remains landing potentially two centre forwards
, with huge uncertainty remaining around the future of Alexander Isak before the transfer window closes. They remain keen on Brentford’s Yoane Wissa but there has been no movement yet on a second bid after a £25million offer was immediately turned down. Brentford insist they want £40million.

Liverpool have yet to formally increase their £110million offer for Isak,
who has moved out of his home in the North East and whose agent has said he no longer wants play for the club.

Newcastle’s position on Wednesday remains the same as it has all summer: that the Sweden striker is not for sale.
 
Nottingham Forest have agreed deals worth £37.5m for Ipswich Town winger Omari Hutchinson and nearly £30m for Manchester City's James McAtee.

The deal for 22-year-old McAtee is also expected to include a sell-on and buy-back clause.

Forest had been considering their next move for Hutchinson, 21, after a £35m offer was rejected by the Tractor Boys at the weekend.

Midfielder McAtee, who captained England Under-21s to Euro 2025 victory in the summer, has been a long-term target for Forest.

He made 27 appearances for City last season but just three Premier League starts.

Forest are also in advanced talks for Rennes striker Arnaud Kalimuendobefore Sunday's Premier League opener at home to Brentford, with all three deals worth close to £90m.
 
These really are outrageous fees.
£30 mil seems a baseline for a half decent player, its ridiculous

Harvey should be collecting 40 then

Outtara had a good season last year. Harvey sat on the bench.

Harvey might be a more talented player but at some point you actually have to play the matches and build the resume.
