Also some of the latest happening .

If Kane and Sancho goes to Man United after the season then they might be real force to reckon with . I really wanted Sancho in our list guess its not happening any time .

Btw news about Newcastle been taken over by Saudi royal is unreal . I just hope they will abide by EU fairplay and dont end up like City getting banned from CL . These Arab playboys think buying top players from other club is easy as shit !!

My step dad is a Newcastle fan and he's worried about this too

What people dont realise is Newcastle report the 7th highest annual revenue in the EPL - the most of any non top 6 club. More than Everton. They can certainly spend a lot of money as FFP is tracked over three year periods. Interesting rumours regarding Newcaslte:

Gareth Bale for 50m
Wilfried Zaha for 70m
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for 40m
Robin Koch for 30m
Arturo Vidal for 5m
Phil Jones for 5m

Sell Joelinton, Yedlin, Dummett, Elliott

After a few seasons, the only players in the starting XI now still being around that I can see are Saint-Maximin, Willems (assuming they buyout his loan), the Longstaff brothers and Dubravka.

Other rumours/news:

Alex Telles - Porto -> PSG - £22m - deal agreed pending medical - legit.
Timo Werner - RBL -> Liverpool - £52m - he has been taking english lessons
Layvin Kurzawa - PSG -> Arsenal/Lille/Marseille/ - free
Thomas Partey - Atletico -> Arsenal - £23m
Axel Disasi - Reims -> Arsenal - £17m
Ben Chilwell - Leicester -> Chelsea - £35m
Luca Waldschmidt - Freiburg -> Chelsea/Man Utd - £20m
Nicolas Tagliafico - Ajax -> Barcelona - £20m
Marcelo Brozovic - Inter -> Liverpool - £45m

No one is buying bale.

Bale has not been upto the mark and zidane is desperate to sell him to a club which is ok with half the price.

There is good chance bale might make move to mls after this season.

I agree

but the rumours have some substance

if the takeover is completed after investigations and director testing:

they could afford his wages

it would be a huge statement

it parallels Robinho -> City in many ways

In fact there's a lot of similarities between Newcastle now and City in 09 - City had Hart, Kompany and Zabaleta prior to their takeover as the only players that stayed after the squad exodus. City needed a big name attacker as they couldn;t score any goals - same for Newcastle. Newcastle have a very solid defense with the RB being the only weakspot. They have guys like Dubravka, Lascelles, Schar, Willems etc. but nobody up top - he'd be perfect

I think it would be a wiser move for them to sign Zaha though

Pedro Chirivella will leave Liverpool for Nantes when his contract expires this season
PSG want to buy Bakayoko from Chelsea for £26.5m but Chelsea want £31
Barcelona are interested in signing Juan Foyth from Tottenham Hotspur
Eray Comert looks to be the first Arteta signing for Arsenal, a £2m (bargain imo) rated CB from Basel
Chelsea want to sign Angel Gomes from Man Utd
John Obi Mikel has been released by Trabzonspor and is now a free agent
Dejan Lovren could secure a £5m move to Roma this summer as they looked poised to sign Smalling and sell Federico Fazio
Kingsley Coman is for sale for £53m with City and Real interested (like why not just keep Sane and dont sell him to Bayern?)
Man Utd are willing to pay the £88.1m (lol) release clause of Vinicius from Benfica
Man Utd also want to sign Joe Rodon for £20m from Swansea City
Liverpool are keeping tabs on Pervis Estupinan as they look to sign a back up LB
Inter have been linked with David Alaba, Federico Chiesa and Paul Pogba

They sign players based on hype - sometimes it works (AWB, Bruno), sometimes it doesn't - most signings underachieve - the clubs that do the best in the transfer market use much more scouting and data e.g. Liverpool, Dortmund, Bayern, Juve, Inter etc. Milan is another example of a club signing players based on hype - the only difference is Man Utd's income is much bigger, so they can afford to make expensive signings and hope for quality

They have no clear direction - e.g. signing players to suit a certain play style - they also dont sign players in weak positions - e.g. midfield. They have five central midfielders in their entire squad. A club needs at least 7 or 8 when they play a midfield three - they also have no natural right wingers and havent for about 3 years - it's an awfully run club that is lucky to have enough money to avoid being shit - but is permanently mediocre as long as woodward stays in his position

Cant blame it because other clubs are richer now . EPL wages are pretty high if you compare spanish or italian , Young players are attracted to huge sum from Qatari and Saudi oil tycoons .

The football runs on money now the players dont stay long with the club if they feel their wages are not upto standard .

Well on average yes but Real Madrid + Barcelona's wage bills alone are bigger than Liverpool + Man Utd + Man City + Chelsea + Arsenal + Tottenham + Wolves - the worlds biggest wage bills are:
1. Barcelona
2. Real Madrid
3. Juventus
4. Bayern Munich
5. Man Utd
6. Man City
7. Atletico Madrid
8. Chelsea
9. Liverpool
10. Inter

But yeah the average wage is higher in the EPL
