2023 Summer transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

[Dante Lavelli]

If Madison joins Spurs for £40m which in today’s market is a steal for a 26yr England international, then Harvey Barnes can’t be the same price. I would hope if we are after him he comes for £30-35m at most.

Madison has a year left, Harvey has a few I think. It’ll be more than £40m by the end though, that’s their opening offer in the media just to unsettle the player.

Yes and with no DoF it will be Levy being his usual c***ish self.  Hope Leicester stay strong and tell him to piss off

I think they're also under pressure to get him off the wage bill too as it's unsustainable with Championship income.

Looks like it’s been accepted. Decent price

[Risso]

Great signing for Spurs that, unfortunately. He'll do well playing with Son and Kane (assuming the latter stays).

I actually hope Kane stays and leaves on a free in 12 months, just so that Spurs don't get any cash.

He’s the type of player they need but strikes me as too inconsistent. Looks like Kane could be off to Bayern.

[PaulWinch again]

I’d be astonished if Kane went to Bayern.

And injury prone?  I doubt he will improve them all that much.  Kane to Bayern looks like a 'come and get me plea' aimed at other northern teams who play in red to get their warchest out and prepare a bid.

Declan Rice, with only 12 months left on his contract £105m to Arsenal. Astonishing business for West Ham. You pay top money for players who create goals, score goals or stop goals. Rice is none of them. A decent player but I'd say he's worth £60m at most.

Completely over hyped. A darling of the Media.

[Risso]

No, I think Rice is an excellent player, unfortunately. Great defensively, but can make really good surging runs forward too, and an excellent range of passing. I think he'll be brilliant for Arsenal, and at least he hasn't gone to Man City.

Agree.  Consistent too given he's only 23/24

I didn't think much of him until I watched him closely when we played them, he really was superb and ran the game. He's only going to get better too.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Agree, Rodri is Man City’s key player, as was Kante for the last decent Chelsea side.

Kamara made a huge difference to our midfield.
