⚽ 🔃 The Summer 2021 Transfer Thread

Chelsea are poised to submit a £130m bid for Borussia Dortmund’s Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland, 22, after owner Roman Abramovich gave his blessing to proceed with what would be a club-record deal. (Football Insider)

How can you reach an agreement with a player before a club has accepted your bid??

Manchester City have reached an agreement with Jack Grealish and are ready to offer Aston Villa £90m for the England attacking midfielder, 25. (Football Insider)

I hope you aren’t suggesting that a club of City’s stature might approach a player without getting explicit permission from his current employers first? :flushed::flushed::rage:

£17m? Ah, another Carrillo

Carrillo is not British and was not playing in the UK.

Just saying. :grin:

Well you’ll still know about as much as me!

Some say…
Phil Jones on a free from Man Ure to give us experience at the back…

He’s only 29 - if we could get him on a £60k a week 3 year deal I think it would have the potential to be a Jonny Evans to Leicester type signing

I’ve seen questions raised about Jones’ recent fitness record. It appears to be worse than Danny Ings when he was mooted as a target. IF he could stay fit then I think he would be a good addition.

Toby Alderweireld’s left Spurs and gone to play in Qatar. I guess that’s the money talking, rather than getting acclimatised for the World Cup.
