Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5476618, member: 405"] Latest transfer news - Sebastian Haller, once a Premier League Forward at West Ham, has moved from Dortmund to Utrecht in Belgium. This guy was once called a 100M center forward. Bournemouth purchase 19 year old winger Ben Doak from Liverpool for 25M. After Alexander Isak broke his silence, saying he had been lied to by Newcastle management about a new deal, and he let them know a year ago. Liverpool is expected to make a UK record 130M approach for him "next week". Next week? It's only Tuesday, and there are only 12 days left in the window. If I'm Newcastle, I want the offer now, if they're leaking it to the press. Nottingham Forest finalize 3 attacking signings - MF James McAtee from Man City, W Omari Hutchinson from Ipswitch, and CF Arnaud Kaliamuendo from Rennes. They are looking pretty solid now in attack, but could use another defender or two. Nottingham Forest are also said to be making progress on obtaining Douglas Luiz from Juventus. With all their other signings, this would be a beauty! Spurs appear to have signed Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace as a replacement for James Maddison, who suffered an ACL injury. Leeds are finalizing a move for Milan forward Noah Okafor. for 21M. Dominic Calvert-Lewin just joined Leeds on a free transfer, too. Leipzig and Bayern are now both interested in Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku. Hopefully something happens soon, so they can close other deals that have been in limbo. Bournemouth have signed attacking MF Amine Adli from Bayer Leverkuesen for 29M. Leon Bailey joins Roma on loan from Aston Villa for the year. Kind of a surprise move, unless Villa is freeing up some wages to make a signing. Another salary dump, as Leon Dorndocker, the MF, leaves Aston Villa for Real Oviedo, the newly promoted side in La Liga. No progress for LIverpool signing Marc Guehi. Palace is holding out for 40M, but he's in the last year of his contract. Liverpool doesn't want to overpay, after all the money they've spent so far this summer. Garnacho turns down interest from Bayern. Says he will "only go to Chelsea". Chelsea has to move Nkunku and either Nicolas Jackson, Renato Veiga, or Carney Chukwemeka in order to sign him and Xavi Simons. Jamie Vardy may be talking to Brendan Rogers at Celtic about joining them, rather than move to MLS. Chelsea still trying to move Renato Veiga before the window closes. They want 40M for him, and are now talking to Villareal. Previously there was interest in Italy, but those teams don't have that much money, whereas the Spanish league is probably the 2nd best, and 2nd wealthiest, in Europe. I hate this one. Veiga is a perfect guy for their defense. But I understand from past interviews that he does not want to play left back or defensive midfield. He only wants to play center back, which is where he sees his future. To Enzo Maresca, Veiga's value is his versatility, and he feels that they have better options at center back. West Ham is trying to get Andrey Santos from Chelsea, but Chelsea just got him; they're not selling him. And they probably don't want to loan him, either. He's been in France already. They want him in the first team. Man City's 19 year old attacking MF Claudio Echeverri is off to Bayer Leverkuesen on a year long loan. Yoan Wissa, CF for Brentford, was back in training today, after staging a walk-out to force through a move to Newcastle. [/QUOTE]
