Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

From Marca's morning round up:

- We're interested in Rakitic
- We've turned down a bid from Juve for Lo Celso and told City that Kane isn't for sale at any price
- Arsen@l have ended their interest in Thomas Partey as they're unwilling to pay the €50 million release clause
- Koeman is going to give Coutinho another chance
- Wolves want Ocampos
That second bullet point feels like transfer mad libs.
 
It does look like Chelsea are winning the transfer window but that means nothing, they have to do it on the pitch, as we know anything can happen, you can't predict how the table will end, when of if injury's will happen, so far in happy with our business but we need a Right back & Striker
Right now they are copying the Woolwich model - big money attacking signings while ignoring actual areas of need. Chillwell isn't even over the line yet and apparently his heal is made of glass.

Once they get a CB, keeper and another defensive minded midfielder to provide cover for Kante I will start taking them seriously. Which can still happen, obviously, there's 6 weeks left in the window, but I'm not really concerned about them collecting wingers and forwards at the moment.
 
Chelsea’s last couple windows....

2019/20 player sales of £141.5million (Hazard + others) - 2019/20 spending of £40.5million (Kovacic) = 101million
then + 2020/21 player sales (Morata + Pasalic) of £66million = 167million.

Ziyech £36m, Werner £48m, Chilwell £50m and Havertz £80m = £214million, minus the £167m = £47million.

Net spend of £47m and they’ve added 4 quality players

Could have done the same when we would have sold our biggest star player (Harry Kane) as well.

But every single person who is currently jizzing over Chelsea purchases would have taken torch and hayfork and come claiming DL's head!

Not to mention that Ziyech (27, never kicked a ball in top 5 league) and Havertz (yougster, but remember how Draxler was gonna be next ballon dor winner) are 100% unproven... too early to cry the eyes out nor to open up champaigns...
