Summer Transfer Window 2020

There's also the consistent Ruben Dias links. But they surely must be bollocks.

Unless you're paying his release clause, it seems unlikely. It's an election year for Benfia President Luis Filipe Viera and not reaching the Champions League and losing Ruben Dias for less than his release clause would probably spell the end for him.

Our striker search could finally be over. Several reliable Dutch transfer sources have stated that we will indeed be signing Wout Weghorst from Wolfsburg. He's just started following Spurs on his social media, so there could well be more to this than the usual paper talk...

Haven't seen much of him, I just know he's fucking tall and has a good scoring record. 

Surely we're gonna see a bunch of players leave with the squad as big as it is. 

I'd be pretty sad to see Dele leave. Especially if there's any truth in our apparent interest in Lingard...which is...what.

I just want Dele and Lingard at the same club. The social media engagement numbers, which is what football is all about, will be absolute fire.

Dele needs to go United and join up with Pogba and Lingard. Just to see how long it'd take for Souness to have an aneurysm on live TV

Wolves are getting Semedo from Barca.

I was surprised that the deal seemed to come out of nowhere, but he's got the same agent all the Portugese players they sign have. Not a bad replacement for Doherty though.

Luis Suarez is heading to Atletico Madrid.

Him and Costa up front is a class pairing of shithouse strikers.

[DavidMarrio]

Rumours are picking up of Brewster going to Palace for  19mil rising to 26mil with an option to buy back for around 37mil.

Suarez playing under Simeone is both something I eagerly want to see and something I never want to see.

[Gazz]

Suarez and Costa vs Ramos and Varane.

Every. Body. Dies.

Twitter seems to have decided, and I can't find an original source anywhere, that we want Guendouzi in exchange for one of Kante, Abraham, Kovacic, or Hudson-Odoi.

We've truly crossed into silly territory with some of these rumours, why in the fuck would we want Guendouzi?

Alvaro Morata has had the "here we go!" on a move back to Juventus after the move for Dzeko has seemingly stalled.

What a world we live in when still quality strikers like Suarez are just bouncing around for free

Morata's entire career will be spent moving between 4 clubs.

[METALMAN]

So Morata joined Atletico permanently in June and now he's off? Football confuses me. : /

Arsenal have confirmed the signing of the Iceland goalkeeper Alex Rúnarsson on a four-year contract from the Ligue 1 club Dijon.

Rúnarsson arrives as Mikel Arteta reshapes his goalkeeping department following the departure of Emiliano Martínez to Aston Villa last week. Arsenal are believed to have paid Dijon around £1.8m and the 25-year-old will, for now at least, be Bernd Leno’s backup. He could make his debut at Leicester in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

The signing was influenced by Iñaki Caña, the Arsenal goalkeeping coach, who worked with Rúnarsson at the Danish side Nordsjælland. Rúnarsson – whose full name is Rúnar Alex Rúnarsson – played there between spells in his home country with KR Reykjavik and Dijon, who he joined in 2018. He made 42 Ligue 1 appearances and found himself in and out of the side during his two seasons in Burgundy.

Rúnarsson has five senior caps for Iceland and was a member of their World Cup squad in 2018, although he did not play in Russia. His father, Rúnar Kristinsson, is the country’s most-capped footballer, playing 104 times between 1987 and 2004.

Arteta may yet add another goalkeeper to his ranks and Brentford have turned down multiple bids for the highly rated David Raya. Arsenal’s third-choice keeper, Matt Macey, recently turned 26 and wants to pursue first-team football elsewhere. Should Raya, who has also worked with Caña, eventually sign it is likely Rúnarsson would be third in the pecking order.
