Can you post the actual transfer rather than link please, or at least screenshot. I thought this was the whole point of the thread not to be linked to somewhere else...
Was only to show how they did the signings. Stoke signed Jordan Cousins, Lee Gregory, Nick Powell, Adam Davies and Liam Lindsay, all announced at once and made a video touring the bet365 stadium showing all their shirts

Cheers, wasn't specific to that post as there have been a few twitter links without the details.
More as at work cant really go in between hundreds of websites to find the info i'll check the tweet out another time though
If he goes too then you'd HOPE that they'll be in deep shit
If they sell him and Wan-Bissaka they'll have well over 100m to spend on top of their tv money. You could be looking at them having 150m+ to spend in this window. If spent wisely it'll set them up to be a decent top 10 side.
Sadly they're living in another world to us right now with solitary players worth more than our entire club.

That’s exactly what I hate about modern football. It’s ridiculous and frankly disgusting how much the money at the top of the game has got so out of hand. We have been struggling to get sold and another club can spend £50mil plus, on a defender who has had one full season in the Premier League, who isn’t a full international, it’s so wrong.
It’s going to kill football in the end. Slowly but surely clubs in the lower divisions will cease being viable. We’ll end up with a top two divisions and outside of the big cities and towns there will be no clubs for kids to grow up with. Football supporting will become an armchair pursuit for those that make up the support base of dozens and dozens of clubs. Thank god I won’t be around to see it unfold. It will be just as easy to be a fan of PSG as Man Utd. They can poke it.
Depends how they spend it as well, over the last few seasons they bought Sakho for around £30M, Benteke for around £30m, Schlupp for around £10M and Van Aanholt for around £10M thats around £80M for those 4 not exactly spending well.
But then there is the occasional good one Milivojevic for £11M and Batshuayi for whatever the loan fee was, but their good signings are few and far between, so could see them blowing any money they get on crap.

Exactly how I see it going too
With AWB and Zaha they had the ready players
Now they've all this cash and EVERYONE knows it so will be wanting double for any transfers
Echoes of above, people know they have cash and what are the chances they will find players who will deliver as Zaha and AWB have with that kind of money. Plus I think some of it will be pocketed to fund their stadium development.
Relegation scrap is going to be tight this year, there is no real obvious nailed on teams imo, Blades are gonna be tough, Norwich are better than when they played in the prem before and villa are splashing the cash. I know a Bournemouth fan at work who reckons they will potentially go down

Indeed they are. They sell one of their best young players for £50m, one of ours goes on a free to Rangers(?)for £300k compo. Happy times.
Stoke add Stephen Ward, the experienced Burnley left back .. whole new squad at Stoke it seems, really splashing the parachute cash
Not really spending much in terms of transfer fees though, mainly free transfers and I doubt the wages will be higher than for the experienced players they're losing this summer
Bournemouth, Brighton, Norwich, Sheff Utd and Southampton will all be poor next season. Even if Bissaka and Zaha go and they dont replace, Palace will be ok
Be interesting to see how his career plays out. I think he's too small for a full back, unless playing 5-3-2. Skilful player though.
Wonder what Bristol paid for him. See he did not always start for them last season either. Also bad, but unsurprising, that Chelsea never played him once as far as I know.

Completely disagree he out jumped players that were well over 6ft when he was here.
He's athletic enough to not need to be any taller.

If they go and dont get replaced they will clearly be in trouble, 2 of their best players last season, also no chance of getting Batshuayi back as Chelsea will need him.
The modern full back is more of a wing back. Above average defending and a great engine are the essentials. Crossing preferable. Aerial dominance less so important.
Wiggins wasnt the tallest but his pace meant he could recover and atttackers rarely got the cross in. Much like Kyle Walker (shit defender great athlete)
Dasilva going to Bristol City is a good move for him. I’d love to have had him back but unfortunately our situation at the moment just doesn’t allow that to ever be viable. He’s going to be playing regularly under a manager who should continue to develop him. Lots to learn, but a good move for him.
Also, much nicer to see a young player leave a big Premier League club permanently to make sure they play football. Should be the norm in the game but it’s not, instead it’s rather refreshing.
Take your point but Mbappe was in the Monaco side at 16 and was tearing it up in the champions league as an 18 year old. At the age Felix is now, he won the world cup.
It's a lot of money to spend on a kid who's had 1 season in Portugal.

I wonder if there's a buyback clause, with Brizzle paying a relatively low fee but Chelsea being able to buy him back if he leaps in value?
shame - he’s decent

Jay will be just fine

A kid who this time last year hadn't even made his first team debut.
Scored 15-goals in 30-games in just his second season (first year only had one goal in 11-games)
Won Ligue 1 and moved for €145m
Since then he's still only won (at club level) another two League titles, a single FA Cup win and a single League Cup win (the French equivalents)
Isnt really that much when you consider how much PSG have paid yet done nothing of note in Europe
It's a lot of money to spend on a kid who's had 1 season in Portugal.
No idea what stopped Barca and/or Man U getting a deal done.
