Transfers (General)

I'm still annoyed we never signed Jude Bellingham before he went to Dortmund. He's world class now.

It is a lot of money, and Alonso apparently was crucial. I'd predict money had a say too. Anyway, he's a good player but that seems steep to me.

I do wonder if we regret not getting Alonso in by the end of the season. If we do the one's to be annoyed about won't be here anyway.

Ask that question next season, Chelsea will be a WIP this season and if they get Europe they will be happy I reckon, that said there is some talent there, I do reckon though that Enzo will go this summer.

I doubt Enzo goes to Spain though. Would any Spanish team want him after this WC the way he’s behaved?

All of them I reckon suited for either of the Madrid teams

Actually yeah I forgot about Simeone but he’d get pelters from opposition fans, but then again I bet he’s used to that. Vile piece of **** & I’d be glad to not see him in the Prem

What do you guys make of the Garnacho to Villa on an initial loan with a conditional buy agreement? Given the Elliott situation last year as I player I would be very reluctant to do that.

But given the clubs involved and the Rogers transfer going the other way is there the possibility of some 'creative accounting' going on here, both Villa and Chelsea having sold their Women's Teams to get around things previously and Chelsea with hotels etc you can see why people might speculate...

Haven’t Villa and Chelsea done this before. Wasn’t there a first team player going one way and then a youth team player going for a decent amount the other way.

I think Elliot was signed by their old sporting director who left just afterwards because Emery wanted control over transfers.

I think the creative accounting is exactly what's going on here
