General Transfer Thread

Yeah we definitely did, not great from BBC that. Can't blame them for thinking nobody would pay money for Ben Godfrey though.

[Goaljira]

Wasn't he out of.contraxt?

[Shogun]

See that Spurs and Newcastle are apparently in for Grealish. Would be interesting to see how he gets on in a team where he's given more freedom again. No idea how much he's worth these days, he's 29 now.

Could mean Gordon is off to the shite as well.

They even reported it as a £10m fee.

Atalanta sign Godfrey in £10m deal from Everton - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/arti ... 2g5n5edmpo

[Cereal Killer]

I thought we got a fee for him?

Just standard shite BBC reporting

Grealish is definitely better than what he has shown at City and you would imagine he has an upturn after a move but he was never in a million years a £100m footballer. That fee is probably one of the greatest sales in the PL era.

That fee made him the most expensive English player of all time and that was frankly ridiculous. I'm not saying he couldn't do well somewhere. Eddie Howe might get a tune out of him and his goals and assists should definitely improve but he wasn't, isn't and never will be that level of footballer.

Pissing me off if the shite get a massive fee for Ben Doak , rejected 15/16m , want 30m. Come on. Boils your piss how they get away with it

[Bob Sacamano]

Develop them, loan them, if productive, put a price on their head.

We kinda develop them, never loan them, keep them playing against kids 3 to 4 years their junior, release on a free.

The couple of times we’ve loaned out talent (Cannon/Simms) we’ve got ok fees. We just need to show consistency and the prices will inflate themselves based on a few good examples of us developing players to a decent level.

[Free Agent]

To be fair, my ‘boro friends think highly of Doak

Who the hell is he?? Never heard of him

The Doak deal is a Joke, apparently dubbed the Scottish Messi. RS poached him from Celtic .
Internationally ran rings around Garvidol in a recent game

They're had some dodgy fees in the past Ibe, Wilson, Solanke? Williams and probably half a dozen more , but 30m if any club pays any where near that need questions.

No goals and 3 senior game 2 goals for Middlesbrough .

The next Ben Woodburn

5 assists as well and he's only just turned 19, it's not like he's 23-24 and played 100s of senior games.

Very highly thought of both at Liverpool and in Scotland, I'm surprised Liverpool are looking to let him go but it's probably purely for the money. £30m does seem a lot if that's what they get but fair play to them if they do, imagine buying a young player, developing him then selling for a big profit, it's the kind of business we can only dream of.

I don’t see it, they’ve already got Diaz, Gakpo, Jota and Chiesa who all want to play LW.

Their next big buy will be a Salah replacement for the other side
