The Transfer Thread 2018/19 - everything not Wolves

Gareth Bale would be awesome in a Wolves shirt.

Unless he takes a 70% pay it'll never happen unfortunately. I think he might rock up at PSG.
 
He will end up at United. Which will utterly fail to address their issues.
 
Possible p/x to PSG with Mbappé? He'd be mental to go to Utd.
 
Daniel Levy to do a last minute deadline day deal, and get Real to pick up the majority of the wages..?
 
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS moving closer to purchasing OGC Nice as talks continue - willing to pay considerably above market value to get the deal done.
 
Zidane said post game that if he'd had a 4th substitution today he still wouldn't have brought Bale on.

Apparently he never said those words but half of the press decided he did.

Bale still has zero future at Madrid but it seems fake news is the new actual news

Seems they all just went along with the 1 outlet that gave the quotes

I was at Zidane's press conference earlier after Real Madrid's game against Betis. He did not say anything remotely close to "if I had a fourth sub, I would not have brought him [Bale] on". Yet everyone reports it, nobody checks. Fake news spreads fast.
Luckily, my colleagues did check and we didn't run it. But so many have. And the worst thing of all is that it's an agency piece. Agencies have a responsibility – they are supposed to be the filter. Newspapers and websites rely on agencies for accuracy.
Zidane: "If I had brought on another player, the same thing would have happened” (By this I'm fairly sure he means that whoever is not subbed on would be asked about afterwards). But from that to what was reported is a massive stretch. Irresponsible.
 
The E&S are awful for that. They did it twice last summer, once saying our transfer business was virtually done (when we'd signed about two players) and again reporting on the possible move from Molineux which was never, ever going to happen. Totally out of context stuff lifted from a throwaway nothing line, but they splash it all out there and once it's out...people believe it.

Timbo was not happy when I pointed out how shoddy this was.

He improved on this when some website (HITC maybe) stole a story of his, gave it a stupid headline and didn't quote him as a source. Since then Tim pops in his sources in his stories (never did before) and has held back on click bait bollocks.
 
Superb business today from Palace. Connor Wickham. 42 appearances in 4 years. Absolutely awful footballer.

Give him another two year deal.
 
Bags of potential though :)
 
Benfica will reward André Almeida with a 2yr contract extension and Pizzi with a 1yr extension (both new deals will be valid until 2023). [A Bola]

I thought Wolves would be in for Pizzi this summer.
 
Nah - we will be in for Almeida though. Two chunks of bunce for Jorge, and of course the release clause will get raised in the new deal.
 
I'd rather we went out and splashed some cash on Grimaldo or Telles.
 
A Bola claim that Benfica could sell Chris Willock this summer. Could be a good value signing for an English club.
 
We aren't buying a LWB, we already have three.
Well, Jonny can obviously play both sides and it looks like Giles could be off on loan. Doesn't really matter which side we buy for tbh, we just need another first team wing back.
