Rumours Oscar Bobb has broken his leg/ankle on the eve of the season and will be out for months. Will be a bit of a blow to Man City's squad.0

Chelsea’s owners are familiar with baseball contracts which can commonly run to 8, 9, 10 or more years. It’s going to be a good few years until we see the effect they have on football though.1

That will force them into the market for an attacking player I would think. Losing Alvarez and now having Bobb injured doesn't give them a huge amount of attacking depth.0 -
Doku, Foden, Grealish, Savinho is still formidable alongside Haaland. Reckon they need one more central striker, isn't Bobb more of a winger anyway?0

Yeah I think a central striker will be on the cards. Bobb probably more of a winger indeed so I Savinho probably already fills that gap.

I knew Ipswich players were mostly inexperienced in Premier League, hadn't realised by how much though, until saw this table for players total appearances.0 -
That will go up a notch or two now as Kalvin Phillips has agreed a season long loan to Ipswich in principle, according the transfer 'expert' on Talksport, Alex Crook.stoneroses19 said:I knew Ipswich players were mostly inexperienced in Premier League, hadn't realised by how much though, until saw this table for players total appearances.
Allegedly has turned down offers from Everton & Fulham to go to the Tractor Boys. Strange choice if you ask me but there you go.1 -
Interesting. If this loan doesn't work out, not sure where that leaves him though. Eventually, you'd think PL sides will give up on him.JohnBoyUK said:

I know Spurs have been sniffing around Eze all summer, trying to negotiate around the release clause (Spurs have offered well over the clause but want to pay in instalments, how Levy is that?!) When Parish was interviewed in the last couple of days, he said he hoped Eze would still be there at the end of the window...MarcusH26 said:SELR_addicks said:Rumours Oscar Bobb has broken his leg/ankle on the eve of the season and will be out for months.

Anyway, I'm convinced Eze ends up going to City as the long term replacements for KDB. If they need to spend the money, they just will. One £65m down payment is small change for them. Not sure how they effects their PSR but hey, have they ever worried about that before?1 -
They just made around 80m profit on Alvarez and Harwood-Bellis so i'm sure they're doing ok.JohnBoyUK said:

And it's not as if their team is full of big name foreign stars with stacks of appearances in the big leagues of Europe either. Their team has as much a Championship look about it as Luton's last season.stoneroses19 said:I knew Ipswich players were mostly inexperienced in Premier League, hadn't realised by how much though, until saw this table for players total appearances.0 -
I think Eze is a very good player but can't see this at all - not as good, and different sort of player.JohnBoyUK said:

Agreed, think City are more likely to pay 100m+ next summer for someone like Wirtz or Musiala than go for Eze.North Lower Neil said:

Foden is the long-term kdb replacement imo3

Gary Neville commenting on the latest Stick to Football podcast that City's quiet summer could be because they fear the worst regarding their investigation. Basically saying that if they're going to be found guilty and deducted loads of points they might decide to not bother signing anyone.
Surely this is nonsense? Much more likely that a) Pep doesn't like a huge squad and only really signs 2-3 players each year anyway and b) they are probably saving some money as they know they'll have to spend big to replace Walker and KDB soon.0 -
Eze could a replacement for Bobb though.North Lower Neil said:

"Brighton have activated the £40m release clause for Leeds United forward Georginio Rutter."
Leeds signed him for 35m, he scored 7 goals (all in the Championship) in 57 games as an attacker and now they're getting a profit on him.
Football is ridiculous these days.2 - Sponsored links:

To be fair, 6 goals and 15 assists last season from 45 games, roughly speaking, a goal or assist every other game. He's only 22 and I would be the last person to take on Tony Bloom and his analysts when it comes to signings.Chris_from_Sidcup said:"Brighton have activated the £40m release clause for Leeds United forward Georginio Rutter."

Wonder if they're signing Rutter to play off of João Pedro , effectively replacing Pascal Gross.0

Pretty fair point regarding Tony Bloom but 40m for a championship player is wild, especially when Leeds are reportedly struggling financially.Addick Addict said:

Rutter doesn't play as a proper centre forward in fairness, he plays behind the striker and has looked a real handful whenever I've seen him.0

Apparently the Palarse co-owner is looking to buy Everton? How does that work, he'll have to sell his stake in the Stripey Nigel's right?0

Yeah he's been shopping around his stake in the Nigels for a while because he wants to be a majority shareholder somewhere.0 -

They'll sign his twin brother, thereby revealing themselves to be the two Bobb club they really are

Ipswich are set to sign Sammie Szmodics from Blackburn, highlighting the Championship feel of the squad.
Signing top players from the league below, which may or may not work in the PL, but if they do go back down they've at least got a top quality championship player for next season.1 -
Indeed, I think they will do better than Leicester who are badly hamstrung by FFP.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
