when the levy breaks: summer transfer window 2019

do they even have a football team?

levy'd

eriksen surely leaves, whether utd today or a european outfit later matters not

but lo celso/ndombele in, eriksen/wanyama out is neither a disaster nor a huge leap forward, regardless that it'll be painted as both

Lo Celso and Ndombele are several years younger than either and Ndombele is almost certainly a major upgrade on any of our central midfielders. Sessegnon looks like it's happening as well although he's obviously a work in progress I'm confident in Poch to work his magic on him.

Twitter seems to think Sessegnon has hit problems.

Think I'm just going to turn the internet off until about half past five tonight.

Why would anyone want to go to Arsenal, igi, but really why would Luiz want to?

can we start arguing about this season's thread title now so it's ready for tomorrow? would propose "Your old car is completely reliable, but you want a new one and two weeks later it breaks down" but it's a bit much

Throwing "Steve Bruce is the rock on which Newcastle's free flowing football finally flounders" up for consideration, stumbled on it somewhere

just been reminded that Leon Clarke is technically a Premier League footballer at the moment

You must be Joachim: Liverpool will not compete for the Gibraltar Premier Division 2020

gah i've not been able to get this out of my head since hearing robyn in the co-op this morning, someone's going to have to fill in the blanks for me though:

paulo dybala / he's not the guy you're taking home / we'll just get _____ ____ on loan

thank god andy carroll doesn't scan

Looks like Sessegnon and Lo Celso are done.

I honestly couldn't tell you how good lo Celso is and i've probably seen him 15 times. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does, though.

Mooy and Maupay to Brighton is good business imo.

Sarr to Watford too.

Everton have agreed a deal to sign Arsenal and Nigeria winger Alex Iwobi for a fee in the region of £35-40m #EFC #AFC

kieran tierney to arsenal confirmed :'-(

see ye in jan

lo Celso is a loan?

Loan w/ option to buy him for 55m next year

Which is a pretty sweet deal imo

different info on whether its an obligation or an option

Mooy isn't one of the wasters that downed tools last season but he's been a shadow of the player he was for a while. This funny business of getting him to sign a contract extension then loaning him to Brighton might backfire on us - if he has another dud season it might be hard to move him on when the club is thinking how much they could have got for him in this window. He must have agitated for the move because we just received £15m for Billing and are not under pressure to sell and the players all take 40% wage cuts with the relegation - or something like that is written into all their contracts. Proper tight northern bstads!

I think it's an obligation to buy Lo Celso unless we fail to qualify for Europe. In which case it becomes an option, and he won't want to take it.

wasnt benik afobe....good...recently enough?

Went to shit at Bournemouth when he realised he wasn't good enough for the Prem iirc
