General Transfer Thread

Yeh but I've a feeling he'd cost a tad more now

[777Kidnappings]

Wasn't Haaland only 60m?

Yeah but massive payments to the player his agent and even his dad I believe. Had a cheap clause but the money still got paid just not to dortmund

They've been had off there

There's been a load of over the top prices on players this summer , but my god this one takes some believing

[Cereal Killer]

Baleba from Brighton to Man Utd for £70m done

And they want £70m for Minteh as well

[Shogun]

Considering he was a completely nothing player for them last season then that's good business from Brighton

[777Kidnappings]

It seems like 70m is the new 20m.

Probably could spend a billion on a XI of this windows transfers who wouldnt qualify for the champions league

Chelsea are 4/5ths of the way there.

EDIT: or 17/20ths in the last 5 seasons, to be more precise...but they did finish 3 pts better off than us, so I'll mind my Ps & Qs.

[Bumble]

Looking at the way this crazy transfer market has gone the way we have upgraded our squad for the money we have spent has shown there are deals to be had if you are smart about it.

[StirlingBlue]

So city are back in for Enzo and Chelsea are now being linked with paying over a hundred million for Alex Scott - what is going on with prices!?

Garner might genuinely go for a hundred million at this rate

[Bluedylan1]

Alex Scott's a better player than Elliot Anderson. So is Adam Wharton.

City’s midfield is quite poor for their ambition.

They need to spend £100m on someone.

I’d rather have Wharton or Scott than Enzo Fernandez, personally.

Don’t think any of them are actually worth that but welcome to 2026.

I do think Bouaddi will be an absolute star, and will make Anderson look somewhat pedestrian by comparison, but it's a lot of pressure on an 18 year old.

[Shogun]

Starting to think BD might not rate Anderson, almost as much as I think CannockPricey might not be that fond of Villa

He's fine. He's a decent £40m midfielder who would have had a perfectly serviceable career at Forest.

But I think the media, the England circus and Man City's slow realisation that they're just another club again now that Pep has gone have all weirdly combined into this mass hypnosis that Anderson is some star £115m midfield general.

He's a decent footballer who James Garner dogwalked twice last season when we played Forest.

[TheRam]

Yeah, fully agree.

I think city’s recruitment on the whole over the last couple of years has been awful as well.

They’re not a great team at all.
