OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: 2024/25 European club season underway

[d3si]

Chelsea really are making all their money back. Wow.

Amazed that Arsenal willing to pay that kind of fees. I mean Real Madrid won't spend more than 50 millions pound for Havertz

Lolwut?

Chelsea got around 40 mill total on three players from Saudi clubs

Yeah I appreciate Saudi clubs for taking big wages off the book. Huge helpful

PIF is everywhere. They even have stock holdings in Walmart you know?

 

[Coupé It]

Given some of the fees being quoted this window, hope they can get 30-40 for him

No one wants that scrub

Standard Oil founding ARAMCO was the first domino to drop leading to Al Hilal eventually winning the Club World Cup

That and them hosting a WC over the next decade+

 

[Coupé It]

Di Maria is going back to Benfica to play for them for peanuts.

Crazy.

 

[swerve]

Pleased to see all of these outgoings for decent fees. Now I just need to see Caicedo in a Chelsea shirt.

 

[Coupé It]

caicedo or florentino luis are my preference. rice does fit exactly what we need even if it's an overpay but i dont think thats even an option anymore

Wait.

Is Flo someone you want? Or is there real Bayern smoke with Luis?

 

[vtotheinay]

Wait.

Is Flo someone you want? Or is there real Bayern smoke with Luis?

someone I want, there's only been minor reports from low end reporters that we've got an eye on him so far. with rice and caicedo off the board I hope we give him full focus

 

[heggsy]

United bidding nearly 60m for Mount when we'd probably sell Maddison for 50m and he loves it in Manchester is madness.

Maddison blatantly gave up towards the end of the season but he's twice the player that Mount is imo

 

[jape]

y’all think he becomes a world beater?

 

[rolaholic]

Think he'll be a great Gundogan replacement and I don't expect their midfield to drop off as much as you'd expect it tok losing someone like him

He might not be the consistent goal threat that Gundogan is but think he'll fit in with Pep pretty seemlessly.

Was surprised though to read he's 29, feels like he's been around legit forever

 

[Bosa]

For is insane

 

[Bantz Lord T]

y’all think he becomes a world beater?

He’s been a solid, underrated player his entire career IMO

[Verde Shuttles]

Milan is going to struggle to find a replacement even with 70 mill, maybe Kone? Idk

 

[Coupé It]

Bruh Milan is sellin.

Leão needs to go now. Milan probably want to sell him anyways.

These Americans want their money,

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Newcastle must be giving Tonali the bag. Great signing on their part

 

[d3si]

Tonali + Guimaraes

Sheesh

I thought Newcastle are going after Barella?

Officially gonna be the first big flex/splash signing of the PIF Newcastle era, hell of a signing for them.

Just surprised Milan would sell and he wanted to leave, he was a future club captain. The best Italian players rarely ever end up in the Prem.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Pretty sure Milan & Inter both had to sell, Inter way more desperate

Never forget Conte turned down Tonali in order to sign an old *** Arturo Vidal

Yea looks like Inter might end up selling Onana because of that.

 

[rolaholic]

That midfield is gonna be something if they get Maddison too

 

[MetalMario]

Of all the people leaving the most is want to keep Kova. If so it means that Caicedo deal HAS to go thru. Then Brighton can really start dealing amounts on the table.

Kai leaving but Nkunku coming in is almost a straight swap of a second striker.

Love that Madueke is firmly in the plans of Poch going forward. He’s U-21

 

[rolaholic]

That Maldini mess really blew up in Milans face man
