Summer transfer thread

[Daffydd]

I think we'll be seeing a lot more attempts at buying 16-18 year olds from clubs rather than waiting until they're 19-23 to have proven they're going to develop, as transfer mistakes are going to become even more (literally) costly to clubs.

Which would surely result in a lot more multi millionaire teenagers. Money will lose its value.

Just been on a City forum where one fan referred to their predicament of wanting to buy players but selling clubs act like the transfer window is "open season on our coffers". Lol

Why?

Hard to say, just dont find him overly impressive. Reminds me of the Ross Barkley hype train

Are any clubs linked to Albert Tjåland?

64 goals in 37 games for Molde's youth side. Haaland's cousin. 17-year old. Liverpool fan.

As far as "gambles" go that's surely one worth having a punt on if the chance arises?

Talk we have agreed terms with Newcastle's Bobby Clark. Newcastle fans will be very unhappy if that deal gets done.

16 years old.. will make a nice profit in a few years...

I sense cynicism

Would you have us not pursue youth players before they have developed further?

What do you make of our development of lads like Harvey Elliott or Kaide Gordon?

Are you pleased that through the development of younger players we have lads like Gomez and Trent in our starting XI or should we have been trying to buy the likes of Maguire and Wan-Bissaka for big fees?

Well they'll have to learn.

£100m transfer fee and £370,000 per week wages for a lad who has never played a Champion's League game is lunacy.

Grealish only cost City 40 mill on the books 60mill in transfers as yet ( LFC Echo for one)

Not too much different than us claiming we signed Van Dijk whose asking price was 75mill but we used Coutinho money to lessen that figure.

Pretty sure their spend works out at roughly £120m net over a 6-7 year period? We're not the same.

They'll be so relieved they got Grealish. A squad previously limited to the meagre options of the likes of Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Mahrez, Torres, Jesus, Foden and Sterling.

If only they can get Kane in and perhaps Messi too. Poor Pep would finally have been backed enough to challenge for the Champion's League, bless him. A valiant quest with such little weaponry.
