Summer 2026 Transfer Window - Other Clubs

Not even close to what Villa would consider derisory.
Maybe a bit low but less than 2 years left on his contract, 31 in December. His transfer value will start to decline rapidly after this window.

Ipswich are up to £221m spent now and 18 transfers. Can't even fit them all into the screenshot.

They are nowhere close to £221m spent

£152m according to Transfermarkt

Villa are going to struggle to make top half imo.

Rogers, Tielemans and Konsa now all gone. Watkins may not be far behind.

They were very average in all 3 games against us last year and are now much weaker. They may have money to spend, but have only 2 weeks left. Emery might do a Howe and become frustrated he can't build on their recent success. If Watkins also goes, it won't do much for team morale either.

Shame!

Emi Martinez probably leaving as well, they just signed Suzuki (Japan GK from the World Cup)

They always do these last minute sales for financial purposes but they've still spent nearly £100m this window

They've also had time to have a good look at their new players which will have helped their decisions around players leaving.

Baleba wasn't getting in the Brighton team most of last season iirc, now they've rinsed man utd for him. Weird one, maybe his heart wasn't in it at brighton

If it is to be Saudi for Ollie, then they have an extra week for their window to shut.
He might decide to take that time. SSN this morning said reports were of him being offered £1,200,000 per week!

Registration documents need to be with the PL by midday on Friday otherwise they’ll be ineligible to play at the weekend.

Does anyone else think Maresca’s replicating his Chelski fiasco? In addition to this double move, Cherki is definitely on his way abroad, and Ait Nourri supposedly wants away too. As soon as the window closes, he’ll announce a ‘bomb squad’.
The players remaining had better get him off to a good start….

My Man City mate is alarmed that they already don't have enough players and that's before they've shipped out Savinho, Marmoush, Ait Nouri and Cherki (who he rates). I think they'll struggle to find takers for Grealish (injuries) and Foden (wages and form). If Doku, Haarland and Semenyo don't deliver, they look pretty ordinary. Maresca may get them playing well, but there's no guarantee.

Hasn’t taken long to dismantle Pep’s squad! Forgot Gonzalez, Reijnders and Trafford have left, and Silva, Stones and Ake is a lot of experience gone.

Not sure he's a player they really need 🤷

Well overpriced. Spurs have been well turned over this summer imho
Definitely.
Expensive deals, high salaries just to finish behind us- Again!
City fans find this guy so frustrating , beats players for fun but limited end product.

Beyond the player loses, Austin McPhee moving to Chelsea I would suggest will have a big impact. Unfortunately I feel it will make Chelsea much better!

Definitely

I think we all know that the supporter pressure at Spurs has got out of hand. Why has it ? Because the owners react to their calls, which then only leads to the next occasion.
The owners made a choice on the manager that was not universally liked.
They have spent the money to appease the supporters, with the cavate that they can then blame the manager and replace again.

Lots of talk around a deal to "over pay" on Savinho, to get a "discount" on Marmoush so City can avoid paying Frankfurt their sell-on fee
If true, lawyers rubbing their hands and preparing "fair market value" arguments.

I have a mental picture of our senior management all sitting in easy chairs for their morning coffee with TV feeds and smug grins while on a wall is framed sampler with Buy early, Sell late embroidered on it.

They just churn don’t they, one out, two in, ad finitum, spending more money.
Seems to be a lot of opportunism in their approach to transfers

Very possibly.

Then again, the previous regime's transfer policies were hardly successful, either (understatement!).

So long as these purchases don't bust the club financially, which they shouldn't, then the real test will be whether these new players improve the team, not whether they overpaid for them.

You write just like @Ealingbee and his love for Spurs 😉
I’m hoping they do bust the club 😂 if you look at previous seasons prior to their 2 17th place finishes they were always in or around top 4 so is that unsuccessful? Weren’t they still top 6 of spenders too?

Are City that short of moolah that they need to engage in such chicanery? Add it to the 115?

Being reported that Carlos Baleba to Manure for £65M, makes the Sangare deal look a steal.
Premier League Tax

    • Mamadou Sangaré (RC Lens): Known as an energetic, left-footed engine who excels at ball recovery, ground duels, and progressive passing. Statistical models rate him higher in advanced creative metrics and ball-carrying efficiency relative to his cost. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    • Carlos Baleba (Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.): Possesses immense physical and athletic traits with a higher potential value, though he endured a more underwhelming Premier League campaign recently. He is typically viewed as a traditional number 6, but comes with an astronomical price tag. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Value and Cost
    • Financial Value: Sangaré is widely considered the smarter economic choice, often valued at a fraction (roughly a third) of the massive fee Brighton demands for Baleba.
    • League Factor: Baleba operates in the high-intensity English Premier League, whereas Sangaré has starred in Ligue 1. [1, 2, 3]

Baleba is a superb player that warranted the huge price tag. His performances went down the pan immediately after the United talk.

Sangare sounds very exciting but none of us really know if 40m is a steal or not. I'm just as excited as the rest of us btw.
