Popular Post Genie Posted June 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2021 I expect Wijanldum will also be paid a multi-million pound signing fee, plus agent fees. I’m surprised there’s a fight for him though from the big boys. He’s never struck me as anything special. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I see it's time for my annual pointless whinge that the Guardian's transfer interactive (https://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2021/jun/07/mens-transfer-window-summer-2021-all-deals-from-europes-top-five-leagues) tells people about transfers involving at least 1 club from Europe's top 5 leagues (PL, Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1), so - as usual - if a player moves from Brest to Reims they'll gladly report it, but if a player moves from Fulham to West Brom it might as well not have happened, who cares. It's like they're leaning in to what a stereotypical right-winger imagines the Guardian's priorities would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Transfermarkt and betinf haven't really started yet, I wanted one that showed pre contracts I'm on football database.eu or something, that goes a bit too far, it looks like every registered player in the world, if you want to know the dealings of the Welsh 3rd division that's the site for you Did see that izzy brown has been released by Chelsea, what a waste, played as many games for the baggies as a 16 year old as he did in 8 years at Chelsea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted June 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Chelsea going hard for Haaland apparently. I’d love to see him in the Premier League. Raiola will make it difficult no doubt, and whoever gets him will have to pay through the nose for him!

Genie Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 It’s reported in a couple of places that PSG are paying double what Barcelona offered him. It’s hard to know if that’s Barcelona trying to get him for peanuts, or PSG going way over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona are willing to mess up their club by holding on Messi until he retires so they can eventually cash in on making some sort of Messi museum at Camp Nou. They're intent on it. It's bonkers and they'll go the way of AC Milan if they're not careful. They never really rediscovered their club identity after holding onto the likes of Maldini (and others) until he was 72.
