I doubt his four agents got the £5m each they blagged out of arsenal this time. It was a transfer that had all the same vibed as all the trollop we signed from Belgium. €75m for Julian Alvarez??? Crazy price if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowen will probably play more central as can't be relying on the first two for another season. As said it's really odd at West Ham. Let Moyes go and yet they're continuing to sign players over 30 which apparently was the contention with the DOF last summer when Moyes demanded Ward Prowse over younger targets.

PSG will certainly let him go as they've just signed Joao Neves for 60m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are signing an Argentinian midfielder on a free - whilst very experienced is now 30. They might have signed some young names but their overall strategy is baffling.

I'd have taken Guido Rodriguez on a free to cover Kamara but wages probably didn't work out with FFP as we were probably offered him. Not sure where he's going to play with all of Alvarez, JWP and Soucek still around. They're not in Europe either so less rotation than last few years.

PieFacE Posted August 6 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6 I think Alvarez is a decent player, but considering Man City bought him for £14m, I really don't think he's done enough to warrant his value growing by like £50-60m or whatever it is.

When you have Havertz, Nunez going for similar prices, seems to be the going rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the thing about Fullkrug that he scores quite a few but his movement isn't great? So could imagine a season where he posts good numbers but the team struggle.

Very amusing (and disrespectful to what he's achieved in last 12 months) when press link him to Arsenal and Liverpool for 50m, wouldn't buy his right toe. He also has three years left on his deal.
