Good news for Ireland as Darren Randolph moves to Middlesbrough as it looked like he was going to lose his place at West Ham
Spurs are being quite miserly with their spending.
City now in the £200m zone with the signing of Danilo. They’ve had a £52m bid accepted for Mendy too so that will bring it over £250 mark.
Pep will be close to spending half a billion in a little over 12 months.
Money is tight, new stadium to finance.
The two Manchesters and Chelsea with their limitless resources operate in a parallel universe to everyone else.
Manchester City and Real Madrid are locked in a tug of war for Monaco’s Kylian Mbappe.
£161m is the current fee being mentioned, which wouldn’t be far off doubling the world transfer record.
That’ll nearly be enough to pay off Monaco owner Dmitry Rybolovlev’s divorce bill.
It might also mean he no longer has to use Donald Trump to launder his money.
I know it’s fake money but this is insanity. He’s played 40 senior games and scored 16 goals in his career. Obviously looks a decent player and is very young but fucking hell. Whatever about Real Madrid who make a lot of money, Man City have already a Net Spend of £160m. If they buy this lad that’d be £320m. That’s nearly their entire revenue figure for a year. What happened to fair play?
It’s like the Celtic Tiger. It is unsustainable and when the arse falls out of it, football will feel the reverberations for decades.
The way the games gone I don’t feel football would be any great loss to me. I don’t really watch it anymore anyway.
You’re talking about the EPL mate
City seem favourites now, given that they have laid the full amount on the table.
Its great to see small plucky clubs compete with the might of Real Madrid.
He’s only taken 83 shots in ligue one.
Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has defended the lack of transfer activity at Spurs this summer, claiming the spending by other Premier League club is unsustainable.
More than £850m has already been spent this summer by clubs in the top flight, with Manchester United’s £75m spend on Romelu Lukaku the highest for a single player so far.
Manchester City, are responsible for nearly a quarter of the total spending by Premier League clubs so far after breaking the world record fee for a defender twice in a week – only 12 months after doing the same thing with John Stones.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said last week: “I’m used to clubs paying big for big players. Now everybody pays big money for good players.”
Kyle Walker was the first to break it this summer, arriving from Spurs for £50m, as accountancy firm Deloitte projects the £1.165bn record for money spent on transfers during a single window in the Premier League to be shattered this summer.
But Spurs are so far yet to sign anyone and Levy, who has a strict wage structure at Spurs where players don’t earn more than £100,000-a-week, insists this sort of spending will cause headaches for clubs down the line.
“We have a duty to manage the club appropriately,” said Levy at a Nasdaq Q&A in New York.
“Some of the activity that is going on at the moment is just impossible for it to be sustainable.
“Somebody spending £200m more than they’re earning, eventually it catches up with you. And you can’t keep doing it.
“Our position on transfers is that we have a coach who very much believes in the academy, so unless we can find a player that makes a difference we would rather give one of our young academy players a chance.
“The academy is important because if we produce our own players we don’t have to spend £20m or £30m on a player.
“An academy player has that affinity with the club and that’s what the fans want to see.”

Not bad at Bayern but his record of buys at Barca and City has not been good so far.
Pique the only unqualified success in that entire list I’d say considering the markets of the day.
He’s bought some amount of donkeys
Levy is a cute hoor.
He will pick up Barkley relatively cheap before the end of the window. He doesn’t want to be at Everton and they’ll panic late in the window when no offers come in. Danny Levy will be rocking up with a wheelbarrow of cash at the end of August
He has indeed, pal.
