HanoiVillan Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 23 minutes ago, MWARLEY2 said: Newcastle in talks with Antony Gordon. 2 things about that. Firstly we should be all over that and secondly thats the equivalent of us selling Jacob Ramsey. Everton must be completly **** It's actually probably even worse than us selling Ramsey because I think Gordon is more important in relative terms to their team and squad. If they go into next season without Richarlison, DCL & Gordon they're going to have to replace essentially all of their attacking threat. Demarai Gray and Andros '1 game in 5' Townsend aren't going to cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Young English winger for £35m, history isn't on their side... As much as anything for me he looked like the one player at Everton who actually gave a shit and gave his all while they were in the doldrums, bad sale for Everton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 So Sterling to Chelsea looks almost done - I don’t think it’ll work out for him there for some reason. it’ll be an interesting move though and see him taking the place of Werner (we should put a loan to buy offer in on him!)

villa4europe Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Depends how they play him Sterling is an excellent player, brilliant movement and anticipation Unfortunately for him he wants to drop deep and get involved 40 yards from goal, ball to feet and then try and run at teams like grealish or Bernard Silva... And he's not very good at it because his decision making is terrible Given Chelseas struggles over the last 2 years finding a way to play to Werner or Lukakus strengths I'm struggling to see sterling being any different Probably means the end of ziyech there too, he's been a huge disapointment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I would say Sterling needs as many chances as Werner to score a goal but City create a lot more chances than Chelsea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Forest paying £17m for Neco Williams, not a bargain but will suit the way they play well. They are giving themselves a chance of survival with their spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Flynn Downes signed for West ham from Swansea for 10m Haller to Dortmund from ajax 30m Ederson to atalanta from salernitana for 21m with then lovato then going the other way for 7m Dagba has gone on loan to strasbourg from psg so I'm not sure if psg will end the summer with a single home grown player in the squad Axel Witsel to atletico Madrid on a free Bellanova to Inter on loan from cagliari David Carmo to Porto from braga for 20m Sawyers to Cardiff from West brom Bellanova and Lovato are both highly rated Italian youth players, Bellanova in particular now might break through 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's another way to keep the gap so big. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good enough if they deem him as regular starter to replace Rudiger. Surprised Newcastle didn't want him given he did well for Howe at Bournemouth.

Its more Chelsea again buying a player that they sold for silly money, add to that you look at them selling guehi and Tomori last summer for half of what they'll now pay for ake Chelsea will still need someone better as first choice too Its a 5th choice CB moving from one club to be 4th choice at another club for £45m, a number that would be something like 14 PL clubs record transfer Its just stupidity all round 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Was Jovic only on a three year deal at Madrid or did they release him early? Wonder if we looked at him if he's on a free given his prolific record in Bundesliga not so long ago. Guess he has a feeling of one season wonder now but still only mid 20s.
