The generic transfer thread

Man City sign 14 year old Brahim Abdelkader Diaz from Malaga for €375,000 rising to €3M

Just collecting potential. Hacks me right off. It should be banned. I know you can't, free movement etc. But it should be banned. Kids shouldn't be allowed to sign contracts with foreign clubs.

Why?

He'll probably get far more development at Man City than he would at Malaga....plus by the time he is good enough, he could well be eligible for England

Gerardo Molina, a professor and marketing expert, told Spanish radio station Cadena SER that he has been asked by 3 different European clubs to undertake a value assessment of Lionel Messi and based on the past 5 years data and projected numbers the figure his company has come up with is €401,274,000.

"Three European clubs have asked me to make an assessment, we cannot say who the clubs are. The clubs wanted to analyse the viability of a possible transfer for Messi. One company is willing to do anything to take Messi"

Ronaldo is worth between 150 and 160 million euros. Messi’s buy-out clause is 250 million euros, we believe that figure is obsolete and devalued. Right now there is no player in the world of sport that has a greater value than Leo Messi

“There is one club that is practically sponsored by a government that would be prepared to pay 400 million euros for Leo Messi.

PSG is that club in case you hadn't worked it out

Wolves boss Kenny Jackett confirms transfer-listed defender Roger Johnson, 30, is close to joining Premier League strugglers West Ham on loan.

"It is just a loan deal at the moment and the finances are structured around him playing - how many appearances he makes and whether they are successful," Jackett tells the Express and Star.

"It's a really good opportunity for him because he's going to a Premier League club."
