[Football] Non-Albion transfers & transfer gossip

[Dave the OAP]

Jack Grealish left out of Man City’s club World Cup squad…. Wonder where he’ll end up

Villa?

 

[GT49er]

Or maybe they're not asking for anything like that sort of money and the £250,000 rumours are made up figures leaked from the Man United camp to try and get their fans onside if they don't manage to get the transfer over the line.

...........or maybe they're not.

15 all.........

Villa?

Villa's budget is a bit squeezed, not helped by them failing to reach the Champions League places. Unless he's prepared to take a huge pay cut to come home, I suspect that's not an option. Newcastle have been mooted but he's older than their usual age profile. I'd say Saudi, but you can't see Grealish or his WAG coping out there, can you?

 

[GT49er]

listen to be fair, you would have to pay me five times my salary to get me to move back up north

Ah, another one of those for whom the north starts at Watford ................. or is it at Hayward's Heath? Wherever, it must be dreadful for you to have so much north looming too close to you!

USA it is then. He can run round in circles to his hearts content over there.

That's a great shout. I know they have salary caps but I'm sure there's a club somewhere out there with room in their budget for a marquee signing who would live the American dream to the max. Seeing as Messi has Miami tied up, you'd think Jack would fancy the lifestyle in New York or LA, right?

Columbus or Salt Lake....maybe less so

I still think Grealish has another big move in him at 28, before any MLS talk. He’ll want to prove a point to his doubters. A Premier League return seems unlikely unless he takes a pay cut for a Villa return. A move abroad more likely. perhaps to Bayern with Kane or Napoli alongside Gilmour and McTominay seems to make sense.

The thought of Grealish trying to speak a new language is glorious. Make it happen, football gods

More likely than trying to learn to live with a pay-cut, though?

Same was said about Kane, he seems to be doing alright. Good luck to him.

North Lancing

 

[Flounce]

North Lancing

Watford Gap for me

 

[Insel affe]

Watford Gap for me

I generally go by anything north of the A27, "There be dragons"

 

[Weststander]

£72m Kepa moving from Chelsea to Arsenal for £5m.

 

[Eeyore]

Watford Gap for me

North Lancing

Has to be the twin pylons, surely.

I used to find it amusing how many folk thought that the Watford Gap was actually at Watford. Probably the football song sung in the most ignorance.

 

[GT49er]

North Lancing

Yep, understandable!

Watford Gap for me

Oh come on! Watford Gap? Obviously a JCL and not a real southerner at all! Blimey - that's even further north than Selhurst!

 

[nickjhs]

Sadly it shows the pull of Man United even when they're shit.

Because they wont remain shit, thats the advantage of being a very well established wealthy club. The chances of them getting relegated are next to zero whereas every season they can be expected to have a tilt at silverware.

Blimey, not sure I even know that song. Remind me

£72m Kepa moving from Chelsea to Arsenal for £5m.

This really has got to be one of the all time “flops”

Alternately, looks a shrewd signing from Arsenal.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Dortmund agree £31m deal to sign Sunderland's Bellingham​

Jobe Bellingham: Borussia Dortmund agree £31m deal to sign Sunderland midfielder

Borussia Dortmund agree a deal with Sunderland to sign Jobe Bellingham for an initial 32m euros (£26.96m) plus 5m euros (£4.2m) in add-ons.
