Reportedly pretty far along:

Winners Osawe is going to Nurnberg
Kevin Danso to Wolfsburg
Mahmoud Dahoud to Frankfurt
Manu Kone to Roma
Jacob Bruun Larsen to Mainz
Junior Dina Ebimbe to Neapel
Frank Onyeka to Augsburg
Koji Miyoshi to Bochum
Daisuke Yokota to Lautern

Ward-Prowse is an interesting one for Forest, our set pieces have been complete trash since being promoted.

My assumption is that he's come in because of the Danilo injury, but I didn't think he was the kind of player that would be able to do the box to box role that well

Sounds like United in no hurry to register or even announce Ugarte, as he wasn't going to feature this weekend any way due to lack of match fitness (didn't play any pre-season football with PSG) and no training with the team.

That should be investigated. This is the issue with multi clubs ownership these type of transfer are bound to happen. It's quite obvious Strasburg or any club would never pay that much for a player like him. This is Chelsea using tactics to get more profit from that player sale.

Would be hard to prove given Chelsea paid similar money for the kid just a year ago. So it wouldn't take much to convince investigators that a year in the chelsea development system, natural growth, and the increased name recognition, validate a higher valuation than what Chelsea initially paid for him even though the kid didn't break into Chelsea's senior team.

But yeah. It's a little funny that after all the handwringing there was from England about RB Leipzig's relationship with RB Salzburg...even though both clubs operate fully separately with separate books and management teams...it's english teams who are actually using other clubs in their ownership network to manipulate transfer rules & gain an unfair advantage.

Seeing the linked names lmao.....Osimhen, Sancho, Calvert-Lewin......please give us a transfer ban.

I don't watch Serie A but what happened to Osimhen? Did he just move on from Napoli in his head and so lose form? Or did he start to slow down?

Sancho's confusing but could be interesting for clubs that can afford his wages, because when on form he's still a stud...as we just with Dortmund, where he was the best player in a CL SF. He hasn't just had some flukey high output seasons due to his physical tools/team.

But he's been out of form so much in his career that it's hard to know if he needs specific conditions to thrive or if he just needs away from Manchester...after having initially lost form with Dortmund because he wanted to leave for ManU so badly...

Games gone. Sooner we realize and accept this the better.

There just can’t be sales within the same ownership without conflict of interest. Ideally no owner can own more than one team. Short of that they can’t have transfers amongst one another. No one cares because this is all about money football comes 2/3rd in terms of priority if that.

Salzburg and Leipzig have done it...RBS even frustrating RBL a few times by refusing to sell them a player they wanted, or sticking to their pricetag on a player they did agree to sell. But they are completely separate entities with ownership that stays very hands off not to run afoul of the DFL.

Not the kind of vanity projects that the EPL encourages.

come now, it's always do as I say, not as I do.

There just haven't been examples of the kind of shenanigans people said there would be and that we are seeing with Chelsea. While there have been plenty of Haaland's, Keita's, and Adeyemi's that contradict the idea that the two clubs are working in co-ordination.

Sure that's because BuLi clubs are more strictly governed and RBL had to maintain a facade of being a normal german club rather than a blatant sugardaddy team, rather than any inherent morality but they just haven't been pulling the kind of shit we are seeing from CFC.

A few MLS youngsters rumored to go on loan with purchase options to EPL teams

- Kristian Fletcher from DC United to Forrest
- Matai Akinmboni from DC United to Bournemouth
- Noel Buck from Revs to Southampton

Not sure any are particular good moves from them as they would play on the U21 teams, but all probably needed moves because they are not getting playing time in the MLS.

- Also, another US youth player Pedro Soma has gone on loan from Spanish 4th tier side to Barca B with an option to buy.

Saudi getting 19 yo Brazilian stars now, Wesley from Corinthians goes to Al-Nassr for 18 mil

Huge Russian center forward Aleksandr Sobolev from Spartak to Zenit for 10 mil

Benhamin Bourigeaud from Rennes to Al-Duhail in Qatar, he's a great player so the French team will miss him but I guess 10 mil was too much to refuse for a 30 yo

Real keeps their flop Reinier on their books but loan him the second Spanish division, to Granada.

If you think it's bad, I suggest you take a look at the Lyon transfers in and out while keeping in mind Textor's multiple clubs.

Sickening.
