The generic transfer thread

[Loafer]

Palhinha from Fulham to Bayern for £46.5M

They're like the Nottingham forest for goalkeepers but for midfielders

They must have about 47 now

West Ham set to sign Wolves captain Max Kilman for £40m. Which allows me to roll about my Kilman fact once more - he has been prevented by FIFA from playing for Ukraine, the country of his parents' birth, having represented England at futsal in his late teens. Ukraine appealed this to FIFA, who stood firm that their rules on internationals covered futsal as well as football, and so Kilman would only be able to represent England in either sport. Which is obviously really stupid.

This deal will also mean, assuming it completes, that Maidenhead will receive around £4m - which is frankly fantastic for them.

Nice to know FIFA haven't changed, still a bunch of arses.

They were apparently due £8M (20%) but have been part of the transfer negotiation and were told it wouldn't go through at that level and they had to agree to a lower 10% sell on fee

[Sutekh]

£4m for Maidenhead should mean a comfortable few seasons in the NL though.

[Hendo]

Yes, but £8m would set them up for a decade. With the amount of money in the Prem, it seems a bit shit that Wolves are screwing over a NL side over £4m.

Olise to Bayern

Macauley Langstaff to Millwall for £700k

Really quite fascinated to see how that works out.

Same, strikes me as a very similar deal to when we took a punt on bringing Le Fondre up from L2 to the Championship but Langstaff has scored even more goals than he did at that level.

Who was the last Serie A striker to be successful in the Prem?

True, although he did make his original mark in Serie A

Certainly where he played the most football, but don't forget his initial stint at Ajax. 35 goals in 74 games.
