    How do UEFA decide what is an "overpriced" deal or not?

    I hope they're not going to investigate us for when we signed Ahadme

    The one thing in their favour is that they always recruit really well. Whenever they've lost big players before (Watkins, Benrahma, Toney, Konsa, Raya) their replacements have usually been just as good if not better. The issue is that this year, they're losing a lot of players all at the same time.
    Just feels like too many players to lose at once. I'm sure they'll find some gems as replacements they always do , but to lose that amount of goals is going to be very hard to replace. Massively rate Damsgaard as a creator but he's not a goalscorer like Mbeumo. Guess the Wissa replacement is already there in Igor Thiago who they signed last summer for big money but spent most of last season injured
     
    Everyone knows Brentford have a ton of cash to spend, they'll find it hard to get their usual  bargains

    I'll be honest, I didn't see Granit Xhaka to Sunderland coming

    The Maatsen fee (37.5m) whilst obviously not cheap, probably isn't that bad in todays market. He had a season of PL and Bundesliga football behind him and has since been capped by Holland.

    The Kellyman deal was definitely dodgy. 19m for a kid with a couple of sub appearances.

    Wonder if they'll come after Spurs for the Richarlison deal.  We paid £55m over what he was worth, absolute injury prone donkey lol

    I'm not surprised.  They need to keep him, and he's worth way more than that anyway.

    25m is insulting. Newcastle are having an absolute stinker this transfer window. Feels like they've been linked with about 7-8 players who've all ended up moving elsewhere. Trafford looks like being the latest one.

    Newcastle don't seem to able to land any of their targets, they've not got PSR issues and they need a striker badly, I guess the problem is anyone knows Isak is the first choice

    I know it's been a while and their squad size is a bit low on numbers, so to address that Chelsea have agreed deals today for two more signings.

    Same issue Spurs had with Kane for years, basically trying to sign a decent backup when anyone decent didn't want to come as they'd obviously only be backup.

    Rashford has joined Barcelona on loan. 

    I know he can be decent, and had a good loan at Aston Villa, but how the hell has he managed to pull that move off?

    I saw he 'only wanted Barcelona' earlier in the summer and was going to make a joke about the fact I only want Ana de Armas but that doesn't mean much, and he's actually got the move!

    I know they are broke but still seems a strange one.

    Didnt they win £120m or some such obscene amount for winning the club world cup?

    Barcelona can't even register Rashford yet, they need to offload players and cut their wage bill before they're allowed to do so.

    Selling a hotel and their women's team to themselves helped.

    But they do also make a ridiculous amount in sales. They've already made 100m in player sales this summer and have others like Veiga, Nkunku, Disasi, Chukwumeka and Jackson who will probably be sold.

    Isak has told Newcastle he wants to leave and hasn't travelled for their pre-season tour to Asia.

    Romano reporting they’ve got him for less than the 40m

    Ah, the 2025/26 Premier League season — the final chance for clubs to get their act together before the mighty Greenwich Gladiators make their triumphant return to the top flight of English football!

    Apparently buy back at 40m or they can match any other offer. 

    As Newcastle offered 27m, City are allowed to do the same.

    Can't find a non paywall version but looks like Lucas Paqueta is going to be cleared of spot fixing and the FA could be on the hook for his legal costs.
