What, I wonder, does this hidden face of madness reveal of the makers? These K'Chain Che'Malle?
I'd love a double-swoop for Auba and Xhaka. Two proven winners there. Definite captain material!

25m for a 31 year old full back seems real dumb to me. He should help keep them up though, which is prolly all the Saudis care about

If they are in it for the long run it's better to take one season down while buying well than alert everyone that you're buying their coutinhos, umtittis and dembeles out of desperation

I'm sure there was a rumour floating around that the PL clubs had made a gentlemen's agreement not to sell to Newcastle, which if true would presumably mean that they'll have to go rummaging through the car boot sale that is Eastern Europe (note that Portugal is also in Eastern Europe)

Meanwhile everyone in Spain is trying to illegally mortgage 50 years of TV rights just to stay afloat, so the Trippier transfer just about works out on balance for them

Word on the street is the Doherty is going back to Wolves. I can't remember a single thing he's done for Spurs (which isn't saying much since the team ahs been abysmal for 18 months)

It's fine, we've signed Aaron Connolly, who immediately after being announced, tagged himself at Gateshead Quayside on Instagram.

Rangers are apparently loaning NYCFC and USMNT defender James Sands with an option to buy, as well as doing something similar with Olsen from Bologna. Who are buying Ramsay from Aberdeen to pair him with Aaron Hickey.

They only pay one or two players real money. Lots of players make like 100k/year and some make less than that.

As much as Trippier makes sense on paper I reckon the reality of swapping sunny Spain and a top european team for a freezing Tyneside relegation battle is going to hit harder than the inflated wages.

My talksport brain is saying that there could be a concern about getting used to playing at prem speeds again since getting more time on the ball was presumably a factor in him moving away in the first place but he probably will have played against wingers in Spain. I don't know I haven't checked

He can't kill me. I'm indestructible. Everybody knows that

He's also probably worked quite hard, playing Simeone and all that.

He must be on insane money and on a promise of a coaching job or something, he has played basically every game he's been available for Athletico. Surely one of the most successful English players in Europe as well

Didn't bother to read the article because reading is for squares but was wondering whether villa have agreed to pay the aforementioned silly wages in which case lol, or if barca are still being expected to pay most of them in which case lol

The league got £1.6m in sponsorship a year; the shirt is like that so the club can actually lose slightly less make money.
