Other clubs transfer thread summer 2019 edition (Official: Madrid sign Hazard)

Looks flashy with those turns in the YouTube vids. What they don’t show you are the amount of times he losses possession doing that. He’s passing is distinctly meh too. Struggles to weight them well.

That said he’s a good player but nothing to worry about

That's definitely not the case Dules. Guy is a monster physically with the dribbling and close control of Cazorla. This is probably one of the only signings ever made by Spurs that I'm gutted by. Would have transformed our midfield and for only 55m. We fucked up both in our lack of intent and also in our inability to secure CL which probably meant any attempts would be futile as he wouldn't come here.

Gotta say I agree with Dula. He's a good prospect but the extent to which he's overrated on this forum is insane.

I don't think he's even as good as someone like Fabian Ruiz, for example. I sense people would not be threatening to jump off of buildings if someone signed Fabian Ruiz.

Remember all them years we were making the CL but going through the summers with only Cech as our signing?

Spurs are massively overrated. They finished a point ahead of us. Ndombles had a great season but he wont turn them into title contenders as some are suggesting. Whats more if he does reach the heights some here think he might he'll be gone in 2 years time.

Gone in 2 years for some mega fee again to let them revive and reinvest while we sell our players for peanuts.

It's a pretty good idea though. Let's go and sign Fabian Ruiz. But only if he agrees to a hair transplant.

Ndombele fits pochs physical style perfectly, which is why he probably forced levy to prioritise him before anyone else. It all speaks to recruiting players that fit the managers vision, not the scattergun opportunistic bs we've been pulling the last 5 years.

It’s quite telling Pep wasn’t interested given City faced Lyon last season and they’re looking for/wee looking for Fernandinho’s successor

Gazza M

It isn't really. Ndombele isn't technical enough to play for pep. Ndombele doesn't do what fernandinho does either. You could probably deploy him like that but he'd be wasted

I'm annoyed juve got sidetracked by pogba. I really thought ndom would go there as matuidis replacement

This is spot on. I’m not looking forward to playing them.
I just think back to that second half of the second leg against Ajax where they just outmuscled and outran the Dutch team. Ndombele adds to that tradition but with a bit more skill and real skill in transitioning D to offense quickly. Not our nondescript midfield.

[AS] Tottenham agree a deal with Real Madrid to take Dani Ceballos on season long loan

Onda Cero: Dani Ceballos is set to leave Real Madrid on loan this season with Spurs and Milan among the teams that want him. James Rodriguez will be sold. Keylor Navas is set to stay and be Madrid’s no.2 keeper.

Navas wants to stay at Real so bad.

Ayoze Perez to Leicester is pretty much a done deal. [Dean Jones- Bleacher Report]

Leicester owner Aiyawatt Shrivaddhanaprabha will not sanction any deal for Harry Maguire unless it eclipses the £75m Liverpool paid for Virgil van Dijk.

What the hell 😆

[Mohamed Bouhafsi] Ander Herrera will arrive in Paris on Thursday to officially sign for PSG

ESPN: Gianluigi Buffon has agreed to a deal to re-join Juventus

As per @SkyKaveh, Marko Arnautovic has handed in a transfer request. West Ham think he should honour the contract he signed five months ago when he said: "I'm happy to stay. The fans gave me the power + the energy. That's why I have to be here and that's why I want to stay."

OFFICIAL: Stefano Sensi is a new Inter player

[Romano] Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona, here we go! The total agreement is almost ready, and confirmed as said one month ago ?? #FCB #Barça #Atléti

Atletico Madrid's €126 million move for forward Joao Felix from Benfica is being held up as they wait to receive an expected €120m from the sale of Antoine Griezmann

Sampdoria defender Joachim Andersen set to join Lyon for €25m + €5m in bonuses, DiMarzio.

Klaus will drink himself into a stupor as he celebrates the Anderssen to Lyon news.
Lyon will sell him on for double the price in 2 years. Klaus will drink again.

GooneriC

Why aren't we in for Ceballos?

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Cos we have Xhaka, duhh.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Seriously though, fuck this window.

BWoolley

The most likely answer is that we are run by a bunch of incompetent idiots. It's been the answer for most of the head-scratching nonsense we have done over the last 5 years.

Clrnc

Lo Celso deal is off for Spurs, couldn't agree a fee phew.

Leicester is signing Tielemans and Ayoze for a combined 56m, while they won't entertain any offer of less than 90m for Maguire.

It's downright annoying how poor we are when we are supposed to be rich AF few years go. We really have a smaller budget than all the other clubs in the league argh.

You can't just factor in the transfer fee when you're talking about budgets, it's disingenuous. We spend £121m a season more on wages alone than Leicester (we also spend roughly 90m more than Tottenham too by the way).

Even if you don't factor in wages, we have the 3rd highest net spend in the league over the last 5 years, that's why we're ahead of most of these guys.
