Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

I agree, but for Scotland I'd imagine if they really are that good then you can play them in the team still.

Yeah that's true. In their side Robertson must be so far and away the best player they might as well play him up front!

So all those Fekir-Liverpool rumours over the last 2 years and he ends up going to Real Betis for €20m, opening the door for Lo Celso to join Spurs. How has that happened? €20m is an absolute bargain.

Sounds like Arsenal have sorted the deal for Saliba but are loaning him back to St Etienne next season (not like were in any hurry for a centre half lol) and also a loan deal for Ceballos from Madrid is about to be done

Id happily have had Fekir for 20m mind!

Even with that potential knee issue ? Must be a reason why after what happened last summer no one has touched him when going so cheap

I understood Liverpool pulled the plug at the last minute as knee issues showed up on the medical.

With our budget we'd be lucky to sign a mobile phone contract

Looks like Kieran Tierney is at last off to Arsenal, hope Celtic have added a big sell on clause into the contract, 6 months playing is the EPL he will suddendly be worh £100 M, if he gets a game that is. IMHO he is a better left back than Andy Robertson.

Tierney to Arsenal deal off. Celtic have rejected all of Arsenal's bids so far as Arsenal won't pay enough of the reported £25m fee up front and too many unrealistic clauses.

Arsenal not planning any more bids and are now looking elsewhere according to this morning's reports.

Get ready for all the “he’s not that good anyway” 😁

Yeah, I'd have had him for £20m, it's a gamble but not a mega expensive one.

You mean incoming 😉

It's Arsenal you're talking about, who would want to phone then?

That says it all about today's costs when £20m is a gamble but not mega expensive.....it's criminal

 

[Lord Tyrion]

£20m plus agents fees, signing on fee, plus wages. As fans we only ever think of the transfer fee, I wonder for the likes of him what the whole package would be, over the length of a 4yr deal for example?

 

[dronfield]

It's looking like De Gea is set to sign a new deal.
Phew!

Does that mean that Dean Henderson can finally complete his season long loan to us again - was great last year.
Blades are spending some money of late, but hoping to not suddenly have to find a new goalie.

It's still a huge amount for Arsenal.

Definitely need another defender. Think Silva is potentially looking for Holgate to step up at centre half which leaves us with Keane, Mina and Holgate so probably one short there, and then having shipped Jonjoe Kenny out on loan to Schalke we could do with a back-up to Seamus at RB, though that's an area where Holgate could fill in as well where necessary. But yeah, happy with the business we've done so far, Zaha would be a fantastic signing.

I would genuinely be perplexed if Zaha joined Everton. I doubt you would increase his wage by much (he is on £130k p/w with us!!!), he didn't enjoy life in the north a few years ago, and with the greatest respect, he will probably have only a very slight increase in getting any silverware up there.

A bigger club no doubt, but not a big gap between us at the moment...

If Chelsea didn't have a transfer ban, he would almost certainly be moving there. They would give him a substantial wage rise, they would pay a decent fee, he wouldn't have to move home, and he is a bit of a replacement for Hazard.

As it is, I think he will end up staying with us for another year.

 

[howbow88]

Palace's squad imo is a comfortable 8-12 placed squad, under Hodgson they've stagnated into the Hodgson way. Their results with that squad shouldve been bettter last season and thats without Zaha's dives 😉

Palace have been lucky that theres been another 4 poorer teams than them in recent seasons.

Hahahahahahahaha.

Palace season ticket holder here, and I do half a dozen away games a year.

Hodgson's football isn't particularly pretty, but it is pretty effective. Without him over the last 2 seasons, we almost certainly would habd been relegated. Especially so in his first season with us - the job he did was fantastic.
