Old Todd does seem to like the shotgun approach to transfers

He’s literally bought off the Brazilian league at this point.

He's a lot more creative than what Chelsea has in the middle, similar to Maddison, I'd say; there are not many of those types of players left that can unlock a defence. That said, no idea how he will do in that team.
Archie Gray joins Spurs for 40m. A lot of Leeds fans are crying and kicking off, but you don't turn that money down even if he is 'one of our own'. It's the price you pay for bottling promotion. He was a good right back, but that was it for now; he will go on to great things, I'm sure. 10m for Rodon coming the other way is great business.

Intiqued as to their financial position FFP wise. They still seem to be buying without selling.
They have sold 3 hotels and a training ground, they are set for another 3 years

Ah ok, going down the Barca route of selling the family silver then
Tbf I think the club planned to sell Bruno this year considering the huge gap in PSR, along with the timing on the release clause.

Watched a bit of Leeds last season and Archie Gray looked a really good prospect. Championship is a good school for young players. Although Agree £40m is potentially a bit high
Wow, that's pretty cheap, but then again premier league club tax and all that
Soldato
Pretty much every report suggested we bid around €34m for Todibo, really not sure where you are getting this £20m accepted from.

I've never seen anyone reliable say we actually bid for him
Soldato
Check out where his dad played football. It's probably a big clue why he moved there.
Presumably the question was more about why the fee was so low
Bingo. I wonder what sort of price the English clubs were getting quoted. Banging player for 20m with 5 in addons
45-55 last year was the rumoured figure when English clubs were linked
Very

Hardly surprising English clubs get quoted more, the discrepancy in finances is humongous

Reports that Frederico Chiesa is available for a decent price from Juventus (believe it when I see it) Swap with Sancho for Chiesa, would be ALL over that. Really like his style of play
