Joselu's gone, knocking another 2 goals from our "goals scored last season by players still actually in our side". We're down to 12, which will be 11 once Hayden goes. Fuuuuuck.

Don't worry, Steve Bruce will definitely save you.

Rondon is joining Benitez in China.

Another Newcastle fan?

They're are literally dozens of us!

I cannot believe we live in a world where Lewis Dunk is moving for £45m. FORTY FIVE? What the absolute fuck.

Leicester know Man United have tons of cash and are desperate for a centre back.

Brighton know Leicester will have tons of cash and will be desperate for a centre back.

There's knowing they have that money and trying to take advantage, and there's Leicester being happy to pay it. 

Conversation should have been:

"Hi, Brendan here, we're sort of interested in Lewis Dunk for some reason. How much are you looking for?"

"£45m"

"Haha, sorry, bad line there I think, I said Lewis Dunk."

"£45m"

" See ya."

 

Do they even need to be throwing £45m at a centre back? Surely Benkovic, Soyuncu, Morgan and Evans is perfectly fine enough for Leicester. If you need to bolster it you don't need to be spending £45m and if you are going to spend £45m don't spend it on Lewis bastard Dunk. There's probably decent enough players from the Bundesliga or Eredivisie or Ligue 1 you could go for that are loads better and cost less.

PSG and Neymar have a lot to answer for warping the transfer market to the point we live in a world where Harry Maguire is going for £80m and Lewis Dunk is going for £45m.

Nevermind Neymar, I mean it has contributed but the big reason this can happen now with midtable PL teams is because of the gigantic TV deal. All 20 clubs make an absolute boatload every season so they don't find themselves needing to flog their best players for lower fees to keep going.

[Bobfoc]

As a fan of a team well outside the Premier League, transfer fees just make me laugh. Players are worth what clubs are willing to pay for them, and if someone's happy to shell out the cost of a reasonably sized stadium for a single player who's far from a world-beater, so be it.

No one told us.

[DavidMarrio]

Apparently....Coutinho might be coming back to us on loan for 2 years 🤷‍♂️

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Delph to Everton confirmed

 

[TCO]

Lewis Dunk is 28 too, not exactly a young player with room to improve.

Given Leicester's depth at the position, they'd be much better advised spending that money on a prospect from abroad. 

Don't know why United aren't jumping on a Coutinho deal either. Don't get the point of Liverpool paying a loan fee and his massive wages when they don't necessarily need him.

[Baddar]

Coutinho will definitely go somewhere, you'd think. He won't get the game time at Barca now.

[Szumi]

Coutinho has apparently said he doesn't want to go to United, @TCO. Would only want to return to us if he comes back to England 

I'd take him back, honestly. He's still a brilliant player, and he makes us better. He's perfect in the hole for when Klopp wants to go 4231, he's shown he can play as an 8 for us in the 433. He would just need to know he's coming back humble and ready to prove his worth to the squad and supporters.

[Baddar]

While Liverpool don't need Coutinho, he'd be a great signing for them. Having a world class replacement for their front 3 would only make them better.

Kieran Trippier is reportedly travelling to Madrid to have a medical with Atletico ahead of a £20m move. 

Sky are saying Spurs have been offered Angel Correa as part of the deal.

It is good for more English players to go abroad, personally.

[DavidMarrio]

Ravel Morrison has joined Sheffield Utd

[Lineker]

West Ham have signed striker Sebastien Haller from Frankfurt for £45m.

[FLiam]

Arsenal have completed the signing of Jimmy Saville. 

Spoiler

 

[Lineker]

Farewell, sweet prince.

[Baddar]

Trippier to Atleti is one of those FM transfers that happen every so often and don't seem realistic in the slightest. 

I think he'll do well for them.
