Andre Gray signs for Burnley for £9 million, crazy money.

Pretty strange transfer considering Burnley were trying to be prudent last year and spent hardly no money - think 3.5m was the most they spent on a player - to spending 9m on a player in the Championship.

Shocked with that very out of character with how they usually do business. Really need a goalscorer with a bit of pace. Never seen gray play but hopefully he is that type of player. They have always had good strikers in recent years robbie blake steven fletcher Jay Rodriguez Danny ings Charlie Austin.

I've missed his commentary over the years but I've always thought he could still do the biz as a striker and I'm happy to see him back.

Andre Gray

A fiendish plan to get back into sky punditry

Spurs expected to bid £20M for Berahino??

I suddenly don't feel bad that Pool spent that amount on Lovren and Markovic, but that maybe City for Sterling for a song...

Berahino has done way more than Markovic and Lovren stained his good season with Southampton quite considerably last season. I think Berahino will do well at Spurs, if a small centre forward can do good under Pulis he's doing something right.

New £22 million bid from Spurs for Berahino.

Juan Cuadrado signs for Juve on season long loan from Chelsea.

Like so many papers,imagine how us United fans feel,they know nothing of transfer dealings at the club this year yet print stuff everyday.

Harry Palmr · 25-08-2015 02:17PM

True but its fun to see club X (when its not your team) linked with brilliant player Y and you just know its fantasy fiction

Let me stop you there - has Berahino got 20 international caps, and 3 goals, as well as league winners medals in Serbia and Portugal, before the age of 21?

I like him as a striker, said that Liverpool should have signed him a year ago, but £20M is crazy money for him.

Considering they both play football in the Premier League, Berahino has proved himself way more than Markovic. Your hardly arguing that are ya.

Giggsy11 · 25-08-2015 02:29PM

West Brom rejected the second bid from Spurs and they confirmed it. Good that some club is taking Spurs for a ride.

He's had 4 seasons to do it (albeit with some loans out), so you are comparing one season for a new arrival to the 4th season for a player who grew up in English football.

Like I said, I would be a lot more comfortable with the fee paid for Markovic if the going rate for an average English striker is £20M+

My point is I'd feel a lot more comfortable spending £20m on Berahino than I would on Markovic. £20m isn't even that much for a striker these days, especially a young, English one who scored goals for an average enough team.

Paully D · 25-08-2015 03:40PM

John Stones hands in a transfer request. "Good" news for Everton in that they won't have to pay him his 'loyalty' bonus now when he leaves, so more money for the coffers.

Jonny Evans to Everton then I'd imagine.

Good point, but Spurs really should've tried harder to get Ings. Both players had similar records last season, and Ings would've been a much cheaper transfer. Speaking as a neutral, Ings is absolutely wasting his career at Liverpool and will not get the chances he could've gotten at Spurs, especially now that Sturridge is coming back.

Iused2likebusts · 25-08-2015 04:19PM

Stones would be better off staying with Everton atleast for 1 more season. He is only starting to establish himself can't see him playing week in week out at Chelsea. He will get his move in time. Fair enough when your 23-24 looking to win trophies etc but he is only getting his career up and running.

Easy for us to say I suppose.

Chelsea offer - a club who challenge at the highest level of world football, about 3 times his current weekly wage of £30,000, and London, which on a footballers wage is one of the best cities to live in in the world.

If I was him, I'd be confidently thinking (perhaps naively) that I'm good enough to get into the side now, that I will get into the side now, and the aforementioned benefits would just make me even more determined to leave.

Agent Coulson · 25-08-2015 05:48PM

Fair play to Stones for handing in the transfer request.

In a day and age where players use the media and there agents to force a move etc and refuse to be upfront and say I want out because they will lose out on some loyalty bonus money when they clearly have no loyalty to the club to begin with.

Fair play to the lad for being honest enough to give the money up and to say he want's out.

Harry Palmr · 25-08-2015 07:39PM

Paying 40m for Stones is the height of madness. And yes I know Rio Ferdinand cost about that (maybe more) inflation adjusted.

Are we going to go through this every time? This is the price that Premier League first team players go for in the post-new TV deal world. The clubs haven't even got that money yet but they know it is coming in and simply have no need to sell for less.

100% agree. I think Stones comes off really well from this, not a peep from him or his agent. No trying to subvert the system to keep his loyalty bonus.

You pay that for strikers, not defenders. It's just wrong :pac:

Gavlor · 25-08-2015 10:03PM

Foregoing his Loyalty bonus my arse. Everton have turned down 3 bids so far and don't want to sell.

He'll get a decent wedge of a signing fee from Chelsea and will more than likely double his wages, but fair play to him.

Fwiw you can't blame him for looking to move, he's not an Everton fan, he'll earn more money, bigger club, a chance of winning a trophy, champions league. Aside from being under more scrutiny it's a no brainer. But I'd rather see him go to United or Arsenal...
