The Internet Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Pretty sure if certain folk on here looked at Joelinton's stats they'd be underwhelmed if he was signing for us. But here he is going to Newcastle for 40m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what Celtic are up to. The quality of their signings and the money they're spending on players has reduced significantly. They are definitely vulnerable to a challenge from Rangers this season. Are they cutting costs? Clearly they have no intention of doing anything in Europe this year. Killie have signed virtually no-one, could be a tough return to earth for them. Hibs look weaker. If they get anywhere near our injuries last season they'll be totally screwed. Motherwell look solid and could take Hibs or Killie's place in the top 6 this year, and win best new signing name with Casper Sloth Celtic weaker for losing Scott Allan.

But they have real problems in defence and were apparently poor against Ross County. At this stage (and I can be proved wrong, look at Livi last season who I thought would be rooted to the bottom but did better) but I think bottom six will be Kilmarnock, Livingston, St Johnstone, Ross County, St Mirren and Hamilton. They were all over Ross County in the first half, scored an early penalty & totally in control of the game. County then equalised right on the stroke of HT then all confidence disappeared from St Johnstone. County won the game with probably their 2nd shot on target but St Johnstone collapsed in the 2nd half. If they had been more clinical up front, this game would've been put to bed by HT.

Zaba Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Oxford United were in for Chris Cadden earlier in the summer but were put off by having to pay a development fee for him. He’s signed for Columbus Crew today and then just signed for Oxford United from them on a season long loan... Snide.

Reminds me of a player Leicester City were after but the development fee would be in the millions (George Hirst from Sheffield Wednesday.) Leicester in the end did not sign him, but a second tier Belgian club OH Leuven did for a fraction of the price due to development being much less for international movement. Funnily enough this Belgian club just happened to be owned by the same company (King Power group) who owned Leicester city. And this summer he moved to Leicester city.

Cadden is a good player, but he was in a position where he's been out for a while and off everyone's radar. No-one was going to pay 280k for him and if Motherwell weren't willing to waive the fee or part of it, they were forcing a situation where his only option was to sign for them again. Serves them right for turning down our 100k. Edited July 23, 2019 by tartofmidlothian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_T Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 The excellent TIFO podcast were discussing in a recent episode how the huge transfer fees and contracts handed out by the elite clubs, has created a situation whereby these clubs get stuck with these players if they fail to perform, because the smaller clubs can't come close to affording them. Sanchez at Manchester United and Bale are examples of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 48 minutes ago, Zlatanable said: How is Chinese football paying that much money for wages? I suppose there won't be many players on that, unlike Real Madrid, where many players will be on big wages. Newspapers saying Bale is on £1M per week! (still less than Messi - https://www.givemesport.com/1492719-gareth-bales-1mperweek-contract-in-china-is-still-less-than-lionel-messi-earns ) Chinese only allow 3 foreign players in a match day squad. All the Chinese lads are on a pittance (relatively) and the big money is kept for the names they get from Europe/South America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it could be that they felt that if they sign him and Ronaldo wanting to play up front it would limit Kean's playing time. So they sell him now, allowing him develop and they are wanting a buy back clause so it means that they can get him back in a few years stronger and better when they need it. Using the money from this transfer on Icardi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
