It's not always about replacing like for like.
People have in it their minds it's either the highway or no way, football can be played in more ways than 1.
Pep has had a knack of tweaking the role of the players he's signed that were previously suited to a different type of system.
How many do you think Gundogan was getting before joining City?
You're expecting Kovacic to develop into a goalscoring midfielder at the age of 30?
Not to the level Gundogan's been for them the last few seasons no, but if he's being asked to play the Gundogan role then naturally he's gonna be given the freedom to roam more in the final third.....I could see him ending up with 5 goals 5 assists or something like that.
Good to see that these contracts have been dealt with.
Nicolas Jackson has completed his medical ahead of a move to Chelsea from Villarreal.
The Senegal forward has a €35m (£30.1m) release clause in his Villarreal contract, with the final details on an eight-year contract at Stamford Bridge being finalised.

UEFA were supposedly going to outlaw this before this summer's window, but as far as I can tell the loophole still exists in the Premier League rules (and the latest version of the rules on UEFA's website is from 2022, so not changed yet).
But Chelsea are so shit right now they won't need to worry about UEFA's rules for a bit...
And to be clear, even if UEFA change the rules, Chelsea can still do 8 year deals, they just have to re-calculate their figures for UEFA submissions on the basis of 5 years.
I.e. Amortise over 5 years instead of 8.
Wouldn't surprise me if there was an injunction launched by Chelsea at the 11th hour to delay it.
Correct on the first part. Their historic deals can still amortise over 8 for UEFA FFP, it's just new ones after the rule change that would be affected, but that's all based on press commentary, no official UEFA release that I can see.
£12m. Newcastle making shrewd moves (again).

go there for 3-4 years, win the league 3-4 times, challenge in Europe etc ...
and then come back to Spurs ... and get the goals record.
Saw that just now. Think West Ham will accept that.
Simon Jordan on the radio this morning called Maddison to spurs “a £40m deal all day long” when they were discussing Leicester asking for £60m. Sounds like a good call.
Always like Madders, both as a player how he carries himself professionally and how he comes across in interviews.
Don't think we were ever interested as he's not really suited to our style & I'm not sure if he'll be much better suited at Spurs unless he plays in a deeper role, I assume he'll take the place of either Bantancur or Hojbjerg in the midfield 2 as opposed to challenging Son for that inside left forward role.
Good luck to him either way.
Spurs already spent 122m this window (Porro/Kuluevski/Vicario/Maddison) & that's even before they've sold a player.....take note FSG.

That is a mental bid from Arsenal. But atleast they are trying to capitalize on the fact that they challenged for the league.
