If Norwich sell him and get £30m and invest £15-£20 in new players it’s really good business for them, they seem to know who they are and where they stand and I respect it

Sounds like the Dortmund Model wins again.

That's odd, I've seen it reported locally that the sell-on clause is still active and that Getafe will be getting 25% of the total fee.

Losing him will be a big blow to Norwich, but Delia Smith and Stuart Webber have already said that buying new players isn't as feasible right now, so they kind of need the money to re-invest and have a hope of actually staying up.

HIJACK!

PSG are signing Wijnaldum instead, it seems.

Henrik Dalsgaard from Brentford to Matthew Benhams other club, Midtjylland. Confirmed by the latter on twitter.  Wouldnt be surprised to see a few back and forths between these two clubs. Former Celtic player Erik Schivachenko being one of the rumoured players

Buendia official-ish:

 

[Jimmy]

Heard rumours you've bid for JWP as well. 

[Cymbols]

Yeah read that on the Guardian. On the one hand, it seems unlikely. But on the other, I’d have said the same about the Buendia link. From what I’ve heard, Southampton aren’t exactly flush with cash, so everyone in the squad has a price tag. But, whether JWP would want to move is another matter. With Conor Hourihane probably leaving, he’s be an incredible upgrade mind, would love to see it. 

[The Lusophone]

If Villa get Buendia and JWP they become a real contender for European football.

[Gazz]

Dean Smith is actually going to try out that 2-7-2 formation, just 90 degrees rotated.

It's possible these Villa moves may be in advance of them losing Grealish now that I think about it.

At risk of saying something quotable by the end of the transfer window, I really don’t think that this is likely at all. 

[DavidMarrio]

I can't see Grealish going unless it was for stupid money. Would love to have him but the only teams I can see forking out the money would be the Manchester clubs. 

[Lineker]

They're in for Tarkowski too, apparently.

PSG are favourites to sign Donnarumma.

I didn't consider this before, but it does make sense.

[Adam]

Didn't he nearly sign for them a couple of seasons ago? Or am I confusing it with a Football Manager save or something?

[Lineker]

 

 

[Colly]

Got a bit lost there, thought it meant Notts County.

[Adam]

Following in his dad's footsteps, sure, but Angus Gunn has already played for Norwich for a season on loan before and came through their academy until Man City poached him as a teenager.

the Hakimi rumours are getting warm. PSG appear to have offered 60 million €. Chelsea have the same, but might be willing to throw either Emerson Palmieri or Andreas Christensen in the deal as well (both players contracts expire in 2022, Palmieri have a one year option clause in his)
