keita, burke and bruma all cost more than werner.

Keita was purchased from Red Bull Salzburg in the same way that CFG transferred Mooy from Melbourne to Manchester, it effectively cost the owners nothing along with around a third of their current squad who were also signed through this pathway.

Bruma signed today for €12m, and Burke for €15m last season. Missed that.

In any case, these aren't huge figures we're talking. Not "money is no obstacle for our club" type of signings. Selling Keita for €70-80m allows them to sign 6-7 of those types of players, or extend their budget to shop for players in a higher price bracket.

Will they follow that strategy and accept an offer of that magnitude? Who knows. Just my opinion.

I don't care enough for that. You're the one telling me he's expressed his desire to move. I just want you to provide source information

In a move that may trigger some.

What is the rule with loaning within the Premier League again? Does Chelsea have a limit on how many they can loan out? Genuinely am unsure.

I take it back. With those two slowpokes up front Everton won't be improving!

Just realised it was the S*n. Guess he's staying at Utd then..

There's a limit on how many players you can have that are on loan from other PL clubs, not sure there's a limit to how many you can loan out though?

Not sure why the Sun, Metro, Mail etc are being quoted or copied into this thread at all.

It's literally nothing but made up, click bait garbage from these sites.

#Rooturn seems quite an easy one that people seem to have missed.

Only Nixon is reliable at The S*n.

 

[pantskyle]

Don't think the Rooturn story originated at The Sun.

One per club so 19.

I have. It's all over every paper in England and Germany at the moment. If you want to ignore all of that in forming your opinion that's your prerogative.

It's fairly obvious you don't know much about Leipzig so here we go:

RB Leipzig are a club backed by a corporation with unlimited money. However, they're not going to do a Chelsea, City, Anzhi, PSG, Malaga or whatever. Their whole point (and this is RB's modus operandi with all sport their in) is to build with young and homegrown talent that's cheap. They're not going to spend 50 million Euros/Pounds on one player, but 5-6 players at a fraction of that cost. And with the money behind them they don't have to worry about Liverpool or Bayern because they can afford to keep their players. They are virtually a FM addict's wet dream for a club (despite the "history"). They're not going to spend shit loads because they don't have to and they don't want to.

The only valid reason they'd sell Keita is because of FFP regulations, and even then, Forsberg to Milan for 30-40 million is a lot more likelier to happen to keep them in line with that. In short, unless Keita's really desperate to leave, it's not happening.

2015. we buy lejeune for 250k
2016. we sell lejeune for 1.2 mil
2017. newcastle buy lejeune for 8.5 mil.

Yeah I didn't realise he signed for City previously. Got any mail on him? I think I read he was partly signed to help land Pep (he got loaned straight out again or something). I wonder if you guys had a sell on clause or something?

Don't know much about him but he sounds promising. In Rafa we trust.

Didn't think your lot would want any more Frenchmen even near the city let alone the club after some of the trash you've picked up (Gouffran lel).

 

[jod23]

Ruben Neves to Wolves is all but through and they're trying to get Willy Boly from Porto as well on loan. If that lot get promoted they are a future top 6 Premier League club with Fosun, Mendes and Nuno running things and their academy that produces gun after gun.

Hahah a future top 6 side? What about all the other duds Watford have though??

 

[Sozabarus]

Given Liverpools struggles with this and the players Everton have signed I can see them usurping the Reds of a place in the top 6 and coming out of the season as the top side on Merseyside. They already have a better GK, a significantly (and it's even close) better defence and better CM's.

The difference between Pickford and Mignolet is negligible at best apart from distribution where Pickford kills him. I'd take Pickford over Mignolet because of that but there is no massive gulf in class between them. I think Mignolet is a bit underrated and I say that as someone who's not a massive fan of his. People act like he's one of the worst keepers in the league but he's not.

I'm also not having that Gueye, Schneiderlin, McCarthy & Barry are better than Henderson, Lallana, Wijnaldum & Can.

he was loaned to girona when the partnership with them first started. he's your usual big, gangly defender who plays for a side with everyone behind the ball (eibar). not a clue beyond that really.
