2023 Summer transfers

It's 5am so my brain completely neglected the gambling thing.

He also just had a hernia operation so there is that….

Chicago: medical man

Tyler Adams' relegation clause has apparently expired, so it's up to Leeds if he gets sold. Given they're now owned by the 49ers I imagine they're pretty keen to have a USMNT star on the team.

I’ve lost count of the number of DMs we have been linked with: Sangare, Florentino Luis, Youssof Fofana, Trevor Chalobah (defender or midfielder?)…..

I don't think Trevor has placed much in midfield for the last year or two.

I see Chelsea are now in for Brennan. How about £40M plus a bunch of their players?

I think he is definitely gone if they're really in for him. Couldn't begrudge him or the club that kind of move.

He'd be behind Sterling and Mudryk at Chelsea. Still think it makes more sense than being behind Bowen at West Ham. Spurs (Kulusevski) still seems like best option if the choice is there.

Sterling and Mudryk did not play well last year and patience at Chelsea is very short. I hadn't heard they're in for Bowen and Kulusevski but I think Johnson is in their league and he's younger, faster and scored more goals in a crapper team last year. I could well imagine them signing him and not playing him though as that's the kind of thing they do.

As for wages, if it were Chalobah and Maatsen it may not be so inflated.

Nixon waking up and now linking us with Taylor Hardwood Bellis. Hard Balls as he is called. The Under 21 captain? Or was that Morgan?

Anyway, is he any good or just someone from Citeh who they can sell for an inflated price.

I am not sure Chelsea are in for Brennan as other teams have been linked and then come out as not interested. I think Jonno Sr is being naughty and touting him to anything that moves. Which is rude....

Chicago: Waiting for the deadline day spazoid.

That would be a good signing.

Another from my FM game. Did well for a few years but didn’t quite find the level needed so I flogged him to Leicester for a nice profit. No regrets, mind.

Apparently a Brazilian side say Tottenham and Liverpool willing to offer £25m for Danilo.

Yeah right

Once you’ve taken off the sell-on % to Palmeiras there’s not much profit there, so it doesn’t sound very likely.

There's no way on earth we'd sell him after 6 or 7 months for that much.
