VillaChris Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Chelsea signing Bakayoko who looked one of the weaker Monaco players last season, his passing v Juventus was of Reo Coker standard but guess he has energy. Probably frees up Matic to go to Man. United. I was under the impression him and Mourinho hated each other so that's an odd one for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Bertrand Traore from Chelsea to Lyon for £8.8m. In this day and age, that seems like a bargain on the face of it. He looked good at Ajax. Chelsea have probably made a tidy profit too. Win/win? Edited June 27, 2017 by bobzy Shameful correction of team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think he was disappointing at Ajax, barring a couple of Europa League games. Still a talented young player though. Interesting to see how he does at Lyon, who are signing Mariano from Real Madrid as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Quote Everton agree deal for Nigerian striker Henry Onyekuru By Sky Sports News HQ Last Updated: 27/06/17 12:58pm Everton have agreed a deal to sign Henry Onyekuru Everton have agreed a deal to sign Henry Onyekuru from Belgian club KAS Eurpen, according to Sky sources. The Nigerian striker was joint-top scorer in the Belgian top division last season, and his advisers also held talks with Arsenal and West Ham this summer. Onyekeru, who has a £6.8m release clause in his contract, will spend next season on loan at Anderlecht as he does not yet qualify for a United Kingdom work permit. The 20-year-old is the third high-profile close-season arrival at Goodison Park following the signings of Jordan Pickford and Davy Klaassen. isnt this the guy who Candleface is trying to sign all summer?

Mat Kendrick's Dentist Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Maybe not massive names in these parts, but how on earth have Slavia Prague pulled off a triple signing of Danny, Halil Altintop and Ruslan Rotan?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they are all very old, but they most have come into some cash. The amazing thing about Danny is that Zenit paid (e)30m for him ten years ago, and he's shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny is probably Zenit's biggest ever legend btw, to the extent that there's speculation they may retire his shirt number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Was reading the Standard and apparently Bakayoko is "only" on 20k a week at Monaco. Just shows you aswell as the transfer fees the insane weekly wage bog standard players in this country get and we're as guilty as most when you go back 10 years and see what we were paying Sidwell and Heskey back then.

I remember Luke Young tunring down Liverpool as didnt want to drop form his 40k a week wages. What clowns ran this club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny is surprising because surely his wages are high. I really don't know where our league found this money. When I attend matches that aren't involving Prague, the attendance is maybe 3-4k. Also should point out the tickets are dirt cheap. Like less than £10 for any seat in the house. Edited June 27, 2017 by Czechlad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
