Hoffenheim have hijacked deal to sign Adam Hlozek, as exclusively revealed today! Medical tests booked and deal almost done, as Leicester City were waiting for green light from player’s camp……and Hoffenheim got it done.

Fiorentina are closing in on Albert Gudmundsson deal as medical tests have been booked on Saturday.If all goes to plan, Juventus wait for the green light to sign Nico González as new winger very soon

Ipswich Town has an agreement in principle over the signing of Sammie Szmodics, the Championship's top goalscorer last season, with Blackburn Rovers.

Jesus Christ hope he's shit

I thought you guys weren't interested in Felix after his last loan stint. Surprised about the lack of noise on a Sterling exit as surely with all the wingers you will have in the squad he would be struggling for regular game time.

Poch didn't want Felix, think the SDs were keen to keep him.

Juve have enquired about Sterling on loan but sounds like he's keen to stay in London. Nice backup to Neto on the LW.


Will be a pretty frantic and busy end to the window for us.

Yeah you guys do have quite a fair bit of depth that needs moving on

Copying NFL maybe who have 53 on active list

 

[Jatz]

Rudkin is diabolically bad. Never come across someone clearly so out of his depth and yet somehow made of teflon.

I guess when they included 20 plus guys have or about to be loaned/sold it does seem large. Bit of a shit clickbait tweet, not really what you expect for the Athletic.

Does that figure include players who have already been loaned out? More relevant perhaps would be the current number of players in the squad at this point in time, it does seem like a lot of exits to coordinate in the remaining fortnight of the window.

It includes loan outs and sales already made.

No doubt we are going to be busy moving a lot of footballers before the window shuts(maybe a few bargains for a few clubs). Was always the plan with Maresca getting a look over preseason first.

Yeah like it includes Burstow who's about to be announced for us.

Clearlake must have an entire department of staff devoted to managing all of their loans. Might send them an email with my resume to see if there's any jobs going.

Yes had a feeling it was a bit misleading. The current tally of players at the club at this point in time I think is more useful. 30ish?

They may sign you as a winger instead. It’s been a while.

Giving a 8 year contract to a 40+ bloke might be taking the FFP PSR piss just a little too far.

On that graphic imo there is only 20 guys over 21(that's what's counted, you can have 25) that'll still be in the squad come the end of the window. There'll be probably another 10 under that age that'll float between the first squad and the development squad. I'm guessing most clubs will role like this.

Weird with you guys having a new Technical and Sporting Directors. Would have thought they'd want to be active.

I'm not sure what's going on tbh. Seems they stick to a small list of identified targets, go hard on negotiations and generally don't have a second option if a deal can't be closed.

Yes I get what you’re saying. The question was moreso how many are currently listed, noting that that is likely to significantly reduce in the remaining fortnight. Just curious I guess. It certainly seems like a lot of business to try and finalise in a relatively shortish period of time.
