Well that's probably 2.5m coming to us as I think Spurs may still be paying for him.
Also, going to be interesting what happens at Man Utd now with Ronaldo signing, probably will need to trim the squad, been wondering recently if it would be possible for us going for van de Beek on loan.

Re: Other Clubs Rumours/Transfers (Summer 2021)
This Ronaldo wankfest is so tiresome, Sky billing it as the greatest transfer in the history of football. Aye, a 36 year old going back to his former club is the biggest thing to ever happen in the history of the sport. Bigger than when he went to Juve the other year and bigger than his world record breaking move to Real when he was in his prime. They're so embarrassing.

Re: Other Clubs Rumours/Transfers (Summer 2021)
BT have overtaken Sky in terms of their offering and coverage, BT Sports eclipses Sky Sports now for me and if I could only pick one it’s an easy choice.
I am looking forward to seeing him back in the PL though, he’s 36 but he’s kept himself in such great condition that he could easily play at the top level until he’s 40.

Can’t see anything happening. Zero squad strengthening or improvement over summer (we already had Willock for part of last season), says it all.

Re: Other Clubs Rumours/Transfers (Summer 2021)
Edouard looks to be heading to Palace for £15-£20m, definitely would have been interested at that price.
Teams like Palace and Brighton will be our competition this season and both trying to strengthen, even Burnley have signed a couple while we stay stagnant.

We just don't have the money. They have owners who will put money into the club. We have a bloke taking money out of the club.

Re: Other Clubs Rumours/Transfers (Summer 2021)
More like we have a bloke that put too much money into the club a decade ago, and now doesn't want to put any more - and some years still takes losses. But the issue is that most football club owners anymore are willing to lose money on the venture, while ours stubbornly won't.Captain Obvious wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 10:03 pmWe just don't have the money.

Not sure I’d agree with that, the money is probably there (aren’t the books in pretty good shape?) but we just choose not to spend.Captain Obvious wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 10:03 pmWe just don't have the money.

Re: Other Clubs Rumours/Transfers (Summer 2021)
Ashley bought the club, found loads of debt, gave a giant loan, then stopped investing more money, occassionally claws back some of that loan, and some years the club's been in the red, some years in the black. But I think it's inaccurate to perpetuate this idea he keeps taking money out of the club when a lot of years the club still loses money. Though yes, it'd be better they maximize advertising revenue rather than make sweetheart deals with Sports Direct and his other brands.Captain Obvious wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 11:30 pmLee Charnley wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 11:06 pm

All that to say, Ashley wants rid and stubbornly doesn't want to lose more money on the deal - both from an annual operating perspective, and the sale price he won't compromise on. It sucks and puts us at a huge competitive disadvantage because nearly all other owners are willing to lose money in the hopes of winning.

Edouard for that price is decent enough. Would have deo been better than Joelinton & Gayle as 2nd choice & would have complimented Wilson well with his physicality, pace, finishing, movement & power. Rondon looking like he's going to re-unite with Rafa at Everton.. another missed opportunity.
