The generic transfer thread

Sessegnon to spurs.

Last year 19mill would have been a steal.

Lets see if he will make it at a better team or if his true level is Championship.

How old is he now?

Does that matter?

It's a little bit of context. He's just turned 19, so he's got a few years to 'make it' at a higher level.

When Bale was around the same age Spurs were considering moving him on under Redknapp

Arsenal quietly played a blinder this window. Iwobi for 35 million? That's their record transfer fee.

Good transfers in too. Should be the season they reclaim 4th. RB is a worry until Bellerin is back and both Bellerin and Tierney have questionable injury histories so it's a good thing they have Ainsley to cover 10 positions from the bench.

I'm honestly excited to see them play.

If that’s correct surely that will finally break their FFP standing?

Thoughts with Liam Rosenior at what may prove to be a difficult new year....

He peaked too early. Like Patrick Roberts.

Keith Hill made manager on Sunday then 9 signings including Bridcutt and Murphy from Forest.

Just doesn’t seem right to the other clubs in their division that they were allowed to start the season.

Atletico Madrid very unhappy with Barcelona.

Following the statements made today by the president of FC Barcelona, ​​Josep María Bartomeu, about our player Antoine Griezmann, Atlético de Madrid wants to publicly expose the following:

On May 14, Antoine Griezmann informed Miguel Ángel Gil, Diego Pablo Simeone and Andrea Berta of their decision to leave the club at the end of the season. In the days following that meeting, Atlético de Madrid learned that Fútbol Club Barcelona and the player had reached an agreement last March, specifically in the days after the second leg of our Champions League tie against Juventus, as well as they had been negotiating the terms of the agreement since mid-February.

In reference to President Bartomeu's statement made today, we want to state that it is true that yesterday there was a meeting between Miguel Ángel Gil and the Football Club Barcelona CEO, Oscar Grau, at the request of Barcelona and that at that meeting, Mr. Grau expressed his intention, once the clause of rescission of the contract of Antoine Griezmann and have passed from 200 to 120 million euros, request a postponement of the payment of the aforementioned amount of the current clause as of July 1.

Obviously the response from Atlético de Madrid was negative, understanding that both FC Barcelona and the player have disrespected Atlético de Madrid and all its fans.

As a result of all this, today, Atletico Madrid has requested the player, his sister as agent of the footballer and his lawyer, that Antoine Griezmann, in compliance with their contractual obligations with our club, appear next Sunday in the facilities of the entity in order to start the preseason with the rest of his teammates.

Through this press release, Atlético de Madrid wants to express its strongest repulsion for the behavior of both, especially the Fútbol Club Barcelona, ​​for having induced the player to break his contractual relationship with Atlético de Madrid at one point during the season. where the club was playing, not only the Champions League tie against Juventus, but the League title against Fútbol Club Barcelona itself, something that we consider violates protected periods of negotiation with players and alters the basic rules that govern the integrity of all sports competition, besides being a huge loss to our club and its millions of fans.

Spanish press saying Atletico got hold of emails between Griezmann, his agent/sister and his Lawyer which confirm he had already agreed to sign for Barca and Barca had paid commission fee's to agents when his release clause was still €200M

Instead of recovering the lost €80M though the clubs have agreed out of court that Barca will pay €15M but as part of that they also get first refusal on 5 Atletico players. Which on the surface seems more than a little odd.
