Transfer discussion thread

£44m for Lacazette is the fee apparently. Lot of money but he is an improvement on what we have and will hopefully score plenty with Ozil supplying him. Will be nice to have a good penalty taker on the pitch too!

Lemar deal seems to be falling away which leans towards Mahrez maybe being our next option, still no real movement at DM frustratingly.

According to Gab Marcotti Liverpool now have an agreement in principle with Keita on wages/contract length, and I have no idea what tapping up is anymore.

Tapping up is only when the selling club are unaware of what you are doing though right? If Leipzig have given you permission to talk to the player prior to lodging a bid then nothing untoward IMO.

Apparently Wolves signing Ruben Neves?

The Jorge Mendes influence at play again it seems.

Leipzig want too much for him unfortunately so it's not going to happen. Unless Keita accepted a wage in the 80-100k / week bracket which is unlikeky.

All these years of hyping up Lacazette, wouldn't it be awkward if he turns out to be Dijbril Cisse

Can't see Lacazette breaking both legs!!

wouldnt be surprised if conte sees rudiger as a wing back moreso than a centreback, but it's odd to sell ake and bring in rudiger who can be an absolute mess at times.

 

[Latro]

We've bid £30m for Rudiger and apparently an agreement is close. Kind of meh about this one. Hardly an upgrade on Zouma and Ake.

 

[ADL9798]

You tell em faith.

Can see them splurging on one but doubt both. Think they need a defender more.

What's Moomba's go to line here?

When you amortize the two £70m fees by the length of the contract, and add the square root of the number of kits sold, it'll work out to only cost the club £5.50 per year.

Huh? No attempt at trolling here.

Don't see two £60m+ signings being made.

 

[Cooldude]

Is Rudiger Chelsea's CB signing or they're still going after another one

With Christensen returning too that should be it. VVD is all yours.....for £70m

Apparently K2 might have a 60 mil release clause, we might just go for him or VVD

Cooldude is so cute when he is gullible

 

[wadistance]

Do you really think you'd spend that much on CB?

Hopefully Conte can polish him up like he did with Luiz. He certainly has got all the tools to be a cracking CB though.

 

[chef]

Sounds like Terry will be at Villa next season.

I know, didn't say you were!

Who knows what's happening with transfer spending in general this summer. I have no idea what our exact budget is but across the board clubs seem to be spending or are anticipated to spend well, well above what would've been considered to be normal a year or 2 ago. The market seems to have taken a quantum leap in terms of inflation on the back of the new PL TV deals. General wisdom seems to be that our finances are in a pretty strong position and that we're going for a small number of key signings as opposed to an 8 player squad overhaul.

I think a CB is more a pressing issue than CM personally but 60m+ for a guy who's played well for 18-24 months is insane, you'd be wanting to get the best in the league or one of the best in Europe for that price. I think he's a good player but that's grossly overpriced and glad we're not the one's in need of that type of player. Keita is similar, would love him here but that fee for essentially one great season is bonkers.

Don't disagree with the overall strategy of quality over quantity however.

Who knows, depends on how much we sell Sakho for
