Considering a ban for this nonsense.... and probably on par with Tottenham.
Crickey. I knew there was something hinky about being able to but all them players and then seemingly pay them "normal" wages but not that pervasive.
The U23s isn't the best place once a player has reached a certain level. They don't play anywhere near enough games. Loan for Duncan would be good at this stage of his development. Only thing that would worry me is if the quality of opposition is good enough. EFL would be better I would assume. Unless KHL can tell us otherwise.Duncan should stick around for the under 23 league. He has only been here 5 minutes.

Is this a warning?Considering a ban for this nonsense.
Next summer, 300 million ...We quoted real 200 million for mane in the summer. Another poor season for them this season and they will be back with the money
They'll offer £200m for Felix, hoping he can fill Ronaldo's bootsNext summer, 300 million ...
I think it's good to start this thread with Havertz, who is probably our biggest potential summer signing. Copied from the locked January thread:
=============
Somehow this slipped under the radar. It's on, and like I suspected, has been on for a while.
As of today, 19-year-old Havertz has started every single league game for Leverkusen (almost all in the #10 role – so rare for a young player to be given such responsibility!) and has 8 goals and 3 assists in the league and 3 and 3 in Europa League. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is the 3rd highest in the Bundesliga (behind only Lewandowski and Jadon Sancho), 7th among all attacking midfielders in the world and #1 in the world among players of his age group. Stylistically he most reminds me of De Bruyne.
I take a small pleasure in the fact that every team mentioned in that article, even the foreign ones, has a hyperlink to the Mirror page about them, with the exceptions of manc twats 1 and manc twats 2[article]A number of Premier League clubs are reportedly preparing for a transfer battle after registering their interest in Leverkusen's Kai Havertz.
The 20-year-old midfielder is one of the hottest prospects in European football after some dazzling displays in the Bundesliga.
The Metro report that Leverkusen have slapped a £91 million price tag on their star man, but that has not deterred elite English clubs.
Arsenal , Chelsea , Man Utd and Liverpool are all said to have joined the race for his signature, according to reports from Sport 1 in Germany.
Man City are already in the frame for a potential transfer, while Real Madrid and Barcelona have also expressed an interest.[/article]
At 18?Felix is on 55k per week at Atletico.
Simeone worked his magic big time in enticing him to Ateltico - he could easily be on 200k pw at another club.
At 18?
not 200k but I'd say around 100k
Interesting piece.Just read a feature piece on Inaki Williams.
The piece was done by Kade Krichko who is a big Bilbao fan with a lot of insider knowledge.
He stated how Bilbao declined an offer a few months back from us for 88M for Williams.

Sancho 190k pw, De Ligt 460k pw, Mbappe 320k pw ...
But I agree with your 100k comment, you'd expect for a signing like that to be on 100k - but he's on half that.
The Guardian reported De Ligt on about 250k a week
No wonder there's firesale at JuveI read he can earn up to 460k pw with add ons - must have big clauses for clean sheets & goals scored.
The numbers are insane. Is this sustainable?The Guardian reported De Ligt on about 250k a week
weirdly it is...The numbers are insane. Is this sustainable?

He's different to De Bruyne imo... and potentially a lot better. Much more likely to be on the end of goals then be the main creative force though.Would be absolutely delighted if we signed him, hes going to be an incredible attacking midfielder for the next decade. He plays like a younger version of DeBruyne
That’s was my first thought. Sounds like a smoke signifies his agent.I don't think Bobby Duncan suits our style of play and maybe a year in Fiorentina might be good for him. But it's a bit suspect, are Fiorentina really going to play him?
