Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Gareth]

Footy's boy Isak going to Toon for.. 63 MILLION?!

TransferMarkt has his value around 33m.

Heard he plays a wicked game tho

👏

I heard from my Chelsea contact Callum Hudson-Odoi will be an option to go.
.

I heard from my Chelsea contact Trevoh Chalobah is in talks with Inter over a season long loan.

My Chelsea contacts says We have the right to work.

Mad money.

The ambition talk doesn't exactly ring whole at the moment.  West Ham has already bought a number of players this summer,  Newcastle are flying and adding good players, but their masterstroke was Guimares in Jan.  He's a proper centre mid.

Feels all a bit Man City and Lerner at the moment. I am sure it's not and the owners are just as engaged as ever,  but we feel like we have stalled.

There is a reason I was desperate for Newcastle to get relegated, was annoyed we let them have Targett and was very irritated that we lost the away game to them when they were still not out of it

I never need a specific reason to want Newcastle relegated. Bunch of throbbers. Excluding The Fish on here, who seems a decent sort.

Don't suggest that!! I mentioned Lerner and never heard the end of it

The transfer market is just madness now.

I know the saying that players are worth what someones willing to pay but when you look at the likes of Gibbs White for a reported £30 million with add ons to £40 odd million its crazy.

It's not just him, Anthony Gordon at Everton being quoted as £50m+ is insane.  Good player, but he has four goals and eight assists in his season and a bit in the first team.

Interesting Anthony Gordon fact.  After playing (and impressing) in a couple of EFL cup matches, he spent the second half of the season in 20/21 on loan at Preston, before returning to become a first-team mainstay the following season, and is now worth £50m. 

I wonder if Archer will follow the same trajectory...

[Skerra]

If Gordon is worth £50 million, our Cam must be worth at least double that surely!

Abdou Diallo, 26 from PSG linked.... 6'2 CB

Abdou Diallo, 26 from PSG linked.... 6'2 CB

Rumoured replacement for Fofana at Leicester providing Chelsea up their offer. As mentioned above, Trevoh Chalobah is in talks with Inter.  We need Fofana to stay at Leicester but Chelsea seem determined to land him this summer.

Abdou Diallo, 26 from PSG linked.... 6'2 CB

sounds good

[olaftab]

Abdou Diallo, 26 from PSG linked.... 6'2 CB

He has good pedigree, having played his formative football in Germany at Mainz and Dortmund, however has only been a bit part player for PSG for the last 3 seasons. If he is not good enough to hold his place in a farmers league how's he going to coe with Premier League?

I’ve no idea about him, but what I would say is I don’t think you can draw much of a conclusion on a defensive player’s quality just because he doesn’t get in the PSG team. He might be way too good for the league and still not play.
