The Transfer Thread 2022/23- Everything not Wolves

[Deutsch Wolf]

 

[Kenny]

Looks like Liverpool have sucker punched Man Utd and signed Gakpo from PSV

 

[Jack Regan]

Gives them something of an excess of options down that left hand side when all fit.

 

[Kenny]

But £37m rising to £50m is a small price to pay to piss off Utd fans.

 

[Kenny]

So Benfica have told Chelsea if they want Enzo Fernández they have to pay his release clause. All €120m of it in one go.
Chelsea can't do that so have offered more but with the payments spread over 4 or 5 years.

Enzo showing his loyalty levels by telling Chelsea he of course wants to join them and sod Benfica.

 

[Tredman]

Ronaldo off to the desert

 

[Kenny]

Dumping his CL requirement for the pathetic amount of just £200m per year

 

[Lupo]

Ronaldo off to the desert

He's no great sheikhs these days

It's all about taking the game to Asia

Chelsea have broken Benfica's spirit and looks like €127m has been agreed.

Helped by Enzo being a bit of a dick this week and refusing to train so he could force the move through.

Ronaldo off to the desert

and seemingly has a deal in place where he can join Newcastle on loan if they qualify for the CL.

Don't know if Newcastle or Eddie How want that (probably not).

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I call bullshit on that one. The salary is just too big.

Loan deal innit...so Newcastle wouldn't pay all or any of his wages. All part of the Saudi link up

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

So Al Nassr pay him £30m a month to turn out for Newcastle? I can’t see that working. Plus it would actually fuck Newcastle up.

All part of their sport washing stuff. He is still "owned" by the Saudi's, whether playing over there or seen sulking on the bench at St James'

Kind of like a maxed up version of the Watford set up or Forest/Olympiacos or even Mendes and his bitches across Europe.

Ronaldo has bitched on about the CL, not one club in that would touch him, so having a Saudi club take him on and then loan him to a very Northern Saudi club should they qualify is easily believable.
I don't think Eddie How would want it, I doubt a lot of people at the club would want it but they will be in a position where they have no choice.

 

[Alan]

Charlotte have signed Ashley Westwood from Burnley.

 

[Tony Towner]

Assuming he's fit I think he'll do well for a season or 2 assuming you are looking for legs and lungs

 

[Alan]

A competent holding D-mid is essential in MLS, given the quality (or lack thereof) of CB play.

Imagine we'll look to him to offer the same sort of leadership that Fuchs brings. Hopefully minus the on-field mistakes.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Nice of Ronaldo to arrange his "here I am Saudi" presser for bang in the middle of Pele's funeral. Selfish cunt always trying to steal limelight.

Contrarian opinion here but Pele loved to steal the limelight himself. Ronaldo has signed for his club, is he not allowed to do a press conference? Like all the fuss over the Queen's funeral and waiting in line for hours I don't understand why this is seen as so sacred. No point putting off a press conference in Saudi Arabia as there is a funeral thousands of miles away.
