Other teams transfer news / speculation

Chelsea have signed up Tosin Adarabioyo on a free from Fulham. Apparently Newcastle and United were in for him too. Four year deal so apparently Chelsea are being a little less extravagant

West Ham have agreed to pay Palmerias £25m for striker Guillherme

[Zlate]

Newcastle have made a bid for James Trafford. We should be all over that as a replacement for CK who wants to leave

 

[The Nomad]

Barcelona want frimpong. They've offered a coutinho style I.O.U. note.

 

[binomial]

Sesko staying at Leipzig for now. Was linked to Arsenal.

Lloyd Kelly to Newcastle on a free.

 

[Dreambeliever]

I thought was a youth with us that we released but evidently not.

 

[Fabio]

Lloyd Kelly is a very good signing for them. If he can get his injury issues sorted he'll be a great freebie

 

[binomial]

Douglas Luiz heading to Juve it looks like.

20m euros plus Mckennie and Iling Jr

 

[MomoWASright]

Eric the Great staying at the scum.

Eric the Great staying at the scum.

I think he's getting a new contract too, not just letting his 12 months run

 

[Beamrider]

The I reckons he's effectively being demoted to head coach, so he won't be allowed to buy his own shite players in future, he'll have to make do with the shite players Jason Wilcox buys instead.
Ineos call this "working within an established football structure".
That's the football equivalent of "leaving to spend more time with his family".

It's a great deal for him.

In conjunction with the new contract curtailing his powers, he probably got a pay rise, increased severance, more days off, a nicer office etc.

A good trade-off for agreeing not to buy Antony

Yep, I think they want the Sporting Director / Head Coach structure, and the delay has been about whether they could find a stronger candidate prepared to work within that structure (apparently not) and then whether they could persuade Ten Hag to accept it.
They're putting a lot of trust in Dan Ashworth, who presumably is happy to continue with Ten Hag.

Maybe they’re trying to out-Maguire themselves?

That’s the Dan Ashworth on gardening leave? The one contractually bound to a direct competitor? 😎

Damn. Could be a great buy

That’s the one. The one for whom they still haven’t agreed terms with Newcastle.
Clubs tap up players all the time, they’ll tap up sporting directors too.

Nah, he’s more Phil Jones than Virgil

 

[Fabio]

Nah, he’s more Phil Jones than Virgil

my initial post was literally going to be "i hope he's more phil jones than not", but i changed my mind

 

[The Nomad]

He looks to have more about him than Phil Jones unfortunately.

Summerville to Brighton? Sounds like a decent move for both

Likely move to Chelsea for £150m this time next year.

Surely Jimmy's a little old now and has more than a little black case

Dortmund want Serhou Guirassy, apparently has a 17.5m euros release clause.

Chelsea are at it again...though this one looks a talent.

 

[rubans]

Chelsea are very focussed on complying to the rules so why not...

Have they got any assets left to sell to themselves to pump up revenue?

 

[Hyena]

Do these fools signing for Chelsea realises they're signing up to be 9th choice for the next 7 years?
