 No European football either, when the other 3 clubs offer the chance of playing in the Champions League.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Mbeumo appears to have chosen Man U over reported interest from Arsenal, Newcastle and Spurs.
 Quite surprised by that to be honest, but just shows United still have the pull despite how bad they've been.0

            Jadon Sancho is likely to move elsewhere after Chelsea decided to pay a £5m penalty NOT to sign him permanently.1

 That's really poor business given that we would have accepted £500k for them not to sign Ahadme.guinnessaddick said:Jadon Sancho is likely to move elsewhere after Chelsea decided to pay a £5m penalty NOT to sign him permanently.5

 Imagine how that looks on your CV, someone pays £5m so you dont play for them lolguinnessaddick said:Jadon Sancho is likely to move elsewhere after Chelsea decided to pay a £5m penalty NOT to sign him permanently.0

            Sums up the madness of Premier League money.
 A club has decided to spend more than our probable entire summer transfer budget just to not sign a player.3

 More like saying when you have last pick and you say “you can have him.”iaitch said:Bit like being the last kid picked in the playground footy.1

 surely the £5m works out to be the loan fee for last season, no?Chris_from_Sidcup said:Sums up the madness of Premier League money.

 Just sensationalist journalism again... unless Chelsea were that stupid to negotiate with that clause of course!1

 The original loan deal had an obligation to buy clause. They’re effectively buying out that clause to not need to buy himJohnBoyUK said:

 Can't blame bad journalists this time, it really was in the deal between the clubs.JohnBoyUK said:

 Just sensationalist journalism again... unless Chelsea were that stupid to negotiate with that clause of course!Chelsea did not pay a loan fee for the player and covered just half of his reported £300,000-a-week wages. The Blues had agreed an obligation to buy Sancho for a fee of about 25m if they finished higher than 14th in the Premier League, which they did - or pay to get out of the deal. 1

            So Chelsea presumably don't think he's worth more than £25m, or else they would have bought him and sold him on for a profit. That's quite a fall from grace, considering he's still only 25.0

 Sancho apparently turned down a deal at Chelsea as the wages were lower than at United.killerandflash said:So Chelsea presumably don't think he's worth more than £25m, or else they would have bought him and sold him on for a profit. That's quite a fall from grace, considering he's still only 25.
 Presumably thinks he'll get another loan somewhere with United subsidising the wages meaning he gets paid more than at Chelsea for the next year, then get himself a signing-on fee next year.
 Which he's probably right about, but it says a lot about where his career is heading etc than it's hoping for a desperate loan or a gamble on a free transfer - he's still only 25 but hasn't been in an England squad for 3 or 4 years, has only started 20ish league games per season in the last 4 or 5 years.

 There will always be clubs willing to take him. His success in the Bundesliga alone probably ensures at the very least he'll get interest from Germany.North Lower Neil said:

 I wonder if he'd be a decent loan signing for Newcastle. They need reinforcements on the right wing and Howe is a manager i think could get the best out of him.0

 Not really... he is a winger who scored 20 goals in a Brentford team. Being chased by a lot of the big teamseaststandmike said:

 It goes to show that Brentford have overtaken United in the League and have a better forward than Man united.2

            Bournemouth have already lost one centre back (Huijsen) to Real Madrid and now look likely to lose another (Zabarnyi) to PSG.
 Could be a long season ahead for them if they don't find suitable replacements.2

            Likely Kerkez to Liverpool too0

 Not really. By that theory the best team in the world would never be able to buy a player.soapboxsam said:eaststandmike said:

            It feels like a parallel universe where Bournemouth sell one defender to Real Madrid, another to PSG and another to Liverpool.
 Ridiculously good scouting and transfer dealing.2

 They will be back in league 1 if they're not careful. One bad season of recruitment and the model becomes a liability.killerandflash said:It feels like a parallel universe where Bournemouth sell one defender to Real Madrid, another to PSG and another to Liverpool.

            Thomas Party charged with rape. Arsenal shameful for having played him the last two seasons whilst he tried to use a technicality.0

 Agree. Just a note (that I'm sure we're all aware of anyway) to be careful what you say here and elsewhere, the last thing survivors need is for a case to be thrown outAthletico Charlton said:Thomas Party charged with rape.

 Disagree. He has to have the opportunity to defend himself or else someone could make a false allegation for the purposes of ruining his career/extracting money.Athletico Charlton said:Thomas Party charged with rape. Arsenal shameful for having played him the last two seasons whilst he tried to use a technicality.
 Now that the Court has made a decision, it is obviously inappropriate for him to continue.0
- 
            An odd situation, where his name had been out there for years, but nothing happened. Indeed I had assumed that the case had been dropped or it had been fake information.0

            Very lucky timing for Arsenal, being charged as soon as they release him....0
