Durans price tag is 40mill apparently. Needs to come down a fair bit imo, would not want us to pay more than a 25mill base.

Duran barely gets a game at Villa. Am I missing something? 
I know they have Watkins but that makes it even more tragic no? We’re just accepting we’re now below the likes of Villa for talent 😬

On the other side of the coin the Miz had some quotes that made it seem like a deal is well on the works at 40mill...

 

Desire Doue  [19] The player is young and talented but rather moody apparently.  He can play anywhere on the LW or RW or AM or lone striker or deeper in midfield. Compared to Camavinga [Real Madrid].

Borussia Dortmund see him as a replacement for Jadon Sancho, and Manchester United want him to replace Antony. Arsenal, Spurs and RBL have sent scouts with Arsenal declaring an interest.  Outsiders might be PSG or perhaps Bayern Munich. Rennes will seek €75M for him which will end most interest from most teams.  But Chelsea . . .well we love to spend LARGE amounts of money on talented and over hyped kids.  We will find room for him somewhere.

Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme [18] for £25.5m from Palmeiras on a five-year contract.  . . .

How come? A young over-priced South American - Brazilian!!!! - winger and we didn't bid on him???!!??!

Is there still time for Blue.Co[ke] to put in a sneaky and cheeky £55.5m bid?

We are spending that on his team mate Estevao...

This isn’t a rumour, or at least one I haven’t seen, but that Fullkrug should be one. Never heard of him, but they said on TV he’s had a good season at Dortmund. Looks like a good old fashioned striker with a physical presence and a powerful shot. And he had a goal disallowed tonight for him being offside, so just the type of striker we usually sign!!!

31 yrs old...I doubt they'd even look his way. Not that they should or shouldn't. I don't know him either.

Haha

Apart from impressing a few pundits on TV what does he offer? He scored at a slower rate in the Bundesliga than Jackson did in the EPL and he’s nearly 10 years older. Where’s the upside? 

 

The selling season . . .

David Datro Fofana ----- Sevilla could look to a permanent deal. Sevilla need to replace Youssef En-Nesyri . . .

Raheem Sterling ---- Future unclear - perhaps the Middle East. Chelsea want his wages off the books  West Ham were keen on him but his wages are too much. . .

Noni Madueke ---  Issues have been resolved – Newcastle were interested

Omorodion? €40m for Samu Omorodion [just turned 20] – Spanish forward who played for Deportivo Alavés last season on loan from Atlético Madrid. A decent young striker by all accounts.

I was interested to see Sesko (pronounced Shesko apparently) the other day. First time I've seen him for some reason. Big lad, mobile, linked up nicely. Mighty powerful boot, almost broke the cross bar. Could easily have had two goals. Still rough around the edges and sensible to stay where he is for another year or so. He's going to go for a motza when the time eventually comes.

I wish we could  just take Lewandowski on loan for the year

With this lot they would be more interested in his kids

I thought he was ineligible for a Work Permit in England ? AND he wanted to stay in Buenos Aires with his family. Strasbourg here he comes?

Seems like he's only played a handful games for Boca due to hamstring problems, get him signed!

Strasbourg/BlueCo signing no doubt.

Did you by any chance watch Barca last season? He is done & way over the hill, they can’t just shift his £300k/w wages.

We watched Jackson played center foward all season and you telling you dont want Lewandowski 😄

I hate Barcelona and will never watch them play unless they are losing during the game. 19 Goals and 8 asssissstsss aint bad for a finish player.

 Lewandowski will be 36 in August. Good luck getting the LA boys to bring him in.

Not far off 14 and 5 for Jackson...

Maybe on a free to teach Jackson the ropes and ease the pressure on the young lad. But wouldn't swap them.

He ain’t a Finish player he’s Polish.

Atletico Madrid’s striker Alvaro Morata [31] has a €15m release clause.
