S-Clarke Posted 28 July, 2019 Share Posted 28 July, 2019 Bale transfer fallen through, not entirley sure why. Given that he's totally not wanted at Madrid, this could open up some interesting last day rush jobs for him. Loan to Bayern is a shout I reckon.

I don't mean to pick on you here as loads are guilty of this, but you've summed up the modern football fan in two v quick posts On one thread you've described Seri as being "very poor" last season and then in the next you'd be "quite upset" if we didn't buy Philips I'm sure you'll deny this and claim you watch every club and every player intensely but my hunch is you've really seen very little of Seri or Philips play but like a lot of modern footy fans can rate a player purely based on league finish, media hype and agent excitement. Performances, stats, facts ect..... Over rated!? For consistency Seri scored 1 and assisted 3 last season. That's the exact same as Philips! Seri however played in c15 less games + in a tougher league + for a struggling side + his record prior to last season is way way way better than Philips. But one is "very poor" the other "upset if we lose out to villa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't watch much Fulham but I think it is pretty universally agreed that Seri struggled. His value has almost halved.

BILLING COMPLETES BOURNEMOUTH MEDICAL Sky sources understand Huddersfield’s Philip Billing has completed his medical at Bournemouth. It is understood a fee, in the region of £15m, has been agreed for the midfielder. Billing made 23 appearances for the Terriers in the Premier League last season, scoring two goals.

They've signed a Lossl / Delph / Andre Gomes so far, but have free'd up a fair bit of money after selling Gueye / Vlasic / Lookman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 30 July, 2019 Share Posted 30 July, 2019 Lemina linked with Everton in one of the papers today...... & now this... I'm sure he imagines Utd etc want him, when in reality it's teams who can't afford him. EVERTON IN TALKS FOR GBAMIN Everton are in talks with Mainz over a deal to sign defensive-midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin, according to Sky in Germany. The Toffees have had a £23m (€25m) bid rejected, with the Bundesliga side valuing the Ivory Coast player at £27.5m (€30m), Sky in Germany are reporting. Everton played Mainz at the weekend but Gbamin was absent due to still being on holiday after his appearances at the African Cup of Nations. The 23-year-old defensive-midfielder, who can also play at centre-back, played 32 times in the Bundesliga last season and scored twice. Everton are on the hunt for a new midfielder after Idrissa Gueye’s move to Paris Saint-Germain was confirmed on Tuesday – and they are also interested in Southampton’s Mario Lemina.

They already have a team full of very talented and highly paid players. They even broke their transfer record this summer. But they still want more, more, more. To be fair they have made one signing over the last 3 windows, they have a squad that with a little more key depth and little more quality could be challenging for the title and clearly for the champions league, have already sold one full back and seem to trying to sell the other one. You can understand them getting a bit twitchy, they are in a great position to push on and seem to be not doing it. It's a bit like us after finishing 6th or going further back to the 8th place and cup final, not kicking on from a good season with key investment and thus wasting a good opportunity that you then have to re-build back towards.
