Werner going back to Leipzig for £25.3m. They bought him two years ago for £47.5m

He's going to have to take a massive haircut on his £272k salary going back there.

Between him and Lukaku they've spent £145m on two strikers to end up get about £35m back in transfer and loan fees.

[afc tukrish]

Wow,really shameful behaviour from Barca and this kind of shit has been going on for a while,some of the new incoming batch of players will on the receiving end next summer as well.

Feels like the ugly death throws of a club.

Are they throwing supporter's children at oppo players?

Romano: RB Leipzig are closing on deal to sign Benjamin Šeško for summer 2023! RB Salzburg have rejected the proposal for this summer, Šeško is happy to stay for one more year. 🚨⚪️🔴 #transfers

Leipzig are now closing on deal for Šeško to join in 2023, could be done this week.

That's understandable as his value is clearly receding.

Werner going back to Leipzig for £25.3m.

That is horrific business by Chelsea .. they literally don't give 2 fucks about money this summer
Has their owner taken debt on the club do we know?

Usual step between them two anyway isn't it?

Werner back to Leipzig this summer and Sesko next year… Nkunku to the Reds in a year then.

On his what salary ... ?

Christ. What an obscene wage that is.

Werner back to Leipzig this summer and Sesko next year… Nkunku to the Reds in a year then.

Wouldn't say no to Nkunku as the closest thing to a Firmino replacement. Feel like he'd be one who looks brilliant under Klopp, could maybe play a couple of positions too, coming into his best years etc.

Will be interesting to see what we buy next year considering two midfielders are probably going to have to come in providing we don't buy in the next few weeks or January.

[Dave McCoy]

Werner will show on Chelsea's books as a small loss at worst with the way the accounting works. Are they paying him the difference in his salary as well?

[Drinks Sangria]

Werner will do a Forlan and be brilliant before moving to a bigger club again in a couple of seasons.

Malang Sarr going to Monaco on loan with an obligation to buy for £12m from Chelsea. Utter waste of time him moving there, made less than 20 appearances in two years and was useless when he did play. Looks a shadow of the player he was at 17.

Rabiot going to Man Utd is gleeful proof they have no strategy or cohesive plan. There’s no way Ten Hag looked at a player who’s known to have ego issues, an unruly agent/mother and has produced three middling seasons at a declining Juventus and thought ‘that’s the guy.’ Rabiot has some quality and a great engine but he’s not a holding midfielder and for me essentially fulfils a position they’ve already got average players of similar quality in. Seems pointless.

[disgraced cake]

Dortmund sign a striker from Koln to cover for them while Haller is out.

I've heard it was a very Modeste fee.

[Drinks Sangria]

To go from Haller to him is more than a Modeste climb-down.

[Lone Star Red]

He's going to have to take a massive haircut on his £272k salary going back there.

Between him and Lukaku they've spent £145m on two strikers to end up get about £35m back in transfer and loan fees.

Throw in Morata and Batshuayi and Chelsea have spent a quarter billion dollars in transfer fees alone on strikers the last six years, only to see them all fail at the club.

Seems pointless.

At this point I'm wondering if United are taking their transfer strategy from Google's algorithm.

'It looks like you like dickheaded midfielders from Paris at Juventus, have you considered Rabiot?'

'Since you like angry egotistical forwards, who don't run or play for the team, what about Arnautovic?'

Coady officially joins the shite (loan)

Truly baffled as to why Wolves have just let their captain who's barely missed a game in 7 years to just go on loan in the prime of his career. Yes they're changing systems but still.

Sounds like another Dele Alli weirdly structured deal to get around their money issues.

Goncalo Guedes joins Wolves

Struggles to play outside of the established system he’s used to - a back 3 - and Wolves are looking to transition to a central defensive pairing in a 4, having spent big on the more talented Nathan Collins this summer.

Coady is a very traditional stopper-type but is desperately slow, can’t turn, doesn’t pass it particularly well, can’t carry the ball and has been protected from having to challenge for the ball aerially by Boly and Saiss who win 2.9 and 2.6 aerials per 90 to Coady’s 1.04. There’s been a clear decline in Coady’s game in the past 18 months and Lage clearly wants his decline to continue elsewhere.

I’ve always been of the opinion he’s a Championship midfielder masquerading as a Premier League defender due to his versatility and ability to play a very specific role in Nuno’s very specific Wolves’ system - covering Saiss stepping out and receiving the ball off of the other CBs deep to allow the wing backs space to move forward.

agreed - he's looked very very average the last 2 seasons. I'm not sure how this helps him or the Ev.

Coady is a clogger, shite footballer.

Everton desperately need defensive cover so I expect the deal to be done tomorrow.

Well if it works for Romano...

yup agree with that
as an aside he put in one of the worst performances I've ever watched vs Man City at the tail end of last season ... obv it was against City and also when Wolves had nothing to play for but it was incredibly bad
Everton look like they're going to be horrific to watch this season.. sit deep try and knock it long for some fast lads with almost no ability

[Crosby Nick]

bald move i say

Has he signed yet, or does he want to mullet over for a while?

[Fordy]

Can’t get my head around the Coady transfer at all.

[harleydanger]

me neither

[The North Bank]

I think he’s a very good signing for Everton, I think he’s a better center back than anyone they got , or man utd for that matter. Wolves seem to have lost the plot with that one, sell him outright or keep him even on the bench his value won’t drop.

Better than Ben White.

[The North Bank]

Better than Ben White.

Probably.

Not better than William rio van dijk Saliba though

[MD1990]

Sesko gone to Leipzig in 2023

[El Lobo]

€20 million when they could have probably got double that from a desperate United or Chelsea. Essentially doesn't really matter what the transfer fee is between the two clubs, it'd be nice to have a similar set-up ourselves

[Fromola]

agreed - he's looked very very average the last 2 seasons. I'm not sure how this helps him or the Ev.

Only looked decent in a very rigid, defensive Nuno team with a back 5 and two holding mids. Struggled at Wolves before and since.

You could be talking about Carragher there though tbf. Nuno had the defensive nous to make that work (i.e. Houllier/Benitez). Lampard probably doesn't but looks like he's going full park the bus/dogs of war this season.

Coady is probably at least a slighter better version of Michael Keane.

United have pulled out of the Arnautovic deal because of fan reaction to his racist comments, according to the Athletic.

[DelTrotter]

What a hilarious summer for them. Involved in a absolutely humiliating 3 month chase for a player who desperately doesn't want to sign for them (the most embarrassing transfer saga I can ever remember) and now have to pull out of a deal for a shit player because he said some stuff they could easily have researched themselves 

[BarryCrocker]

United have pulled out of the Arnautovic deal because of fan reaction to his racist comments, according to the Athletic.

To be honest we don't need that type of person in the PL even if it was to the detriment to Man United.

[lollysportswasher]

City fans are already having a meltdown on reddit and how this summer is 0/10 for them if they lose Bernardo.

[Tobelius]

United have pulled out of the Arnautovic deal because of fan reaction to his racist comments, according to the Athletic.

Amazing that his character wasn't a factor before making their bid.

[Henry Kissinger]

Tottenham have won the race to sign the highly-rated Udinese full-back Destiny Udogie for a fee of €20m (£17m), beating a host of other clubs to secure a deal for the Italy Under-21 international.

Is he any good? Never heard of him before today.

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

Another club who seem to have signed a lot of fullbacks over the past few years.

Aurier, Doherty, Davies, Foyth, Sessengnon, Regullion, Emerson Royal, Djed Spence, Perisic (assumption is he is coming to play wing back) and probably others I have missed?!
