The generic transfer thread

Barcola the the ‘pool likely.

I don't get Bradley Barcola, tbh. I don't see him as a difference-maker.

I think, as with Pedro Neto and Rayan, it is the pace of the player over and above other attributes that is attractive.

Chelsea reportedly have put a £100m tag on Pedro Neto desperate to recover some financial outlay of course but is he really worth that?

More likely to get close to that by selling Fernandes, Palmer or a youngster like Acheampong or Estevao.

Chelsea have moved from signing players I have not heard of for sizeable amounts of money, to trying to sell players I have hardly noticed for huge amounts. Neto played a full 90 minutes for Chelsea last season 13 times, and the season before just 6 times

Caversham's Jamie Gittens must wonder what on earth he has done

Indeed, even forgotten he was there

I mean, yeah, what a dickhead. This has happened over and over again and still they choose the money, or the prestige of signing for the club. Went from first choice at Dortmund, and scoring four times in the Champions League, to making just three starts in all competitions last season at Chelsea (16 overall appearances, no goals).

On Chelsea - yep, they will keep finding themselves 'trapped' by these big contracts. Neto signed for £51m two years ago, on a seven-year deal. So when they sell him, they have to write down £36m cost of his transfer fee.

Chelsea now trying to sign Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson.

They really don’t give a **** about any financial regulations do they?

John Stones close to joining Inter. That feels like a nice one.

Possibly means Bastoni (who i have been saying on here for years is the best CB in the world) is off to Real Madrid.

Wellbeck has scored loads of goals against them iirc
