Other Clubs Summer Transfer Window 2020

[Yarrgh]

My next door neighbour who is a huge Spurs fan has just rushed out to tell me that the deal for Jeff Bezos to purchase
Spurs outright is 80% done. Make of that what you will...

Handy to have an Amazon delivery centre in that spot. Could see Harry Kane or Delli Ali in a ford transit doing a 4 hour slot for Amazon Flex. Good move all round.

maybe i've completely missed The Messi stuff, but why does he think he can leave Barca for free?

He is allowed to leave on a free if he puts in a transfer request before June 22nd or sometime around then. He is claiming that date marks the end of the season, and as the season was delayed due to Covid, his request should be honoured in August. Barca are obviously cla I ming 22nd June means 22nd June.

I'm sure there will be plenty lawyers making a huge amount of money arguing it, but if the contract does indeed have a specific date, then I don't think he has a leg to stand on.

Don't understand that van de Beek move myself. Where does he play there? Thought he was an attacking mid.

Europa lag aan zijn voeten: waarom Van de Beek voor Manchester United koos

Donny van de Beek (23) had de topclubs voor het uitkiezen. Het doortastende Manchester United en de realistische Ole Gunnar Solskjaer veroverden zijn hart. Hoe een bliksemtransfer zijn beslag kreeg.

This source suggests Solskjaer has promised to play him as a 10.

And Fernandes deeper?

And Fernandes deeper?

I'd imagine so, yes.

Not sure - they have definately improved, but they couldnt defend last year, not sure they will improve at the back enough.... If I was having a cheeky bet, I think lampard could be an early managerial casualty

Interesting post that mate. I think Silva and Chilwell help them a lot in regards the defence.

You're right though, the biggest question mark is Lampard. He got a free pass last season, but with the money spent, the expectation of the club will be he competes to win the league. If he cant they will go and find a manager who is able to do this. Simeone could come, or Allegri etc.

Chelsea are a ruthless club. Lampard sort of fulfilled his role last season, he brought through a number of players. To the management of the club- job done. If he starts slowly, pressure will build quite quuckly.

Yes. A lot of great individual signings. Can he build them into a team?

Obviously not a nice person but even at 32 a £1m deal for Rakitic is mental to me.

Apparently Leeds are signing De Paul for 30 millions... if its true they are taking a VERY good player

Wouldn't mind him here in all honesty.

De Paul or Sean De Paul?

Who's expecting to start centre back then? As didn't you sign Saliba last summer for a hefty fee and he is back from his loan, Luiz expected to be benched or start 3 centre backs
