Summer transfer thread 2022

Everton have signed Ruben Vinagre from Wolves, and have published a video of him signing on their YouTube.

They've just forgot to announce the transfer anywhere else!

Maybe true, but Ajaxs bank balance was a lot healthier for their leaving.

I never said successful i said it hasn't worked out for them ,

De Ligt has struggled at Juve, Yes Juve won the league his first season but he has always had question marks over him he only started 23 league games that season, Don't forget Juve had won 8 in a row before he joined and now haven't won in 2 season with him,

De Jong to be fair has been quite good but it certainly hasn't gone as he expected h owed 17 million & Barcelona haven't been near the force there where,

Ziyech has struggled to hold down any kind of place regardless of how Chelsea have done,

Dolberg was 9th top scorer in the leauge 11 goals & has gone on to get a combined 12 goals the last two season's ,

Another very quiet summer for Real Madrid.

Appreciate they had banked everything on getting mbappe, but once that deal fell through they didn't go out and spend silly bringing in players for the sake of it.

That's a couple of very quiet transfer summers for them. I know they have spent big money on the stadium revamp, and have probably been watching the money, and luckily have been successful at the same time. Invested well in some good young players in recent years.

Perhaps they are just sitting back and waiting for Barca to implode when it all goes belly up at Camp Nou?

I think the deal was something like €80mill. Doesn't that include wages too?

Yes Rudiger would be big wages, same as Alaba too when they got him. But no transfers involved, so it's just the recurring wages to worry about. All elite clubs have massive wage bill's anyway, but some splash some serious cash on transfers too. Plus they got rid of Bales wages, so that probably pays the wages for Rudiger + another.

Psg also haven't gone mad this summer. They probably think they have a decent squad of players too.

Dwight McNeil to Everton for £20m looks like its happening.

its mad, that the team most busy in the transfer market now , is the one that is supposedly the most broke , more mockery of FFP

Well technically they have the money they are spending. They sold off a pile of their future TV rights and some image rights too, and raised several hundred million.

Thats what is currently being splashed on all these players and their wages.

If they had spoke to a financial advisor, they might have been advised to use all the cash to pay off the outstanding wages they owe, plus some of their huge debt, and just try to compete at a lower level for a few seasons. But it appears they are going for the ultimate gamble to try to win it all, including lots of income.

It's a very risky game. Will be funny if the club has to be sold to survive as an entity. Fans will not forgive those in charge should that happen.

Remember when they didn't have a shirt sponsor? Now they play at the Spotify Camp Nou.

Mes que un club was a good slogan but the mask has slipped; they're just as greedy as all the other clubs.

In a certain way, Fvck the fans. Its certainly what the people running the club are doing, but in the end its the fans who have a big say in how that club is run, or should have anyway. They allowed the shysters to borrow and spend like drunken sailors over the last decade or more, with crazy deals and crazy wages. Nobody shouted stop, they were happy to see the club spend money they didn't have. A warning maybe for fans of clubs who give out about their clubs not out spending the likes of City or PSG - a cautionary tale perhaps.

Yes but I think it's a case of desperate times calls for desperate measures. This is what they have to do to be competitive in Europe.

Best left back in the league imo

Is the reported fee 50 million?
