Tottenham are hijacking Conor Gallagher deal following verbal club to club agreement with Villa.

Atlético accepted Villa loan plus option to buy clause proposal today… and now Spurs match and improve their bid, as @David_Ornstein reports.

Great stuff YHTL, my first port of call every morning. Keep it going.

I think the Premier League should limit the number of London clubs to give clubs based in unattractive areas a chance to sign players

3 deals agreed this morning in Serie A.

◉ Giacomo Raspadori to Atalanta for €23/25m total fee from Atléti
◉ Robinio Vaz to AS Roma from OM for €25m
◉ Jack Harrison from #LUFC to Fiorentina on loan with €10m buy clause.

Fab

Barcelona already informed Marcus Rashford and his camp about desire to keep him beyond this season.

No guarantee yet on €30m buy option to be activated, final decision later + based also on financial situation but Barça very happy with Rashy.

Fab r

So they should be.  Smashing player and, like them all, needs the discipline of a Barcelona.

Or they just think they can sell him to Spurs six months later at a profit

No thanks, he's a lazy cant and his wages are astronomical for such a mid-tier player.

Conor Gallagher completed his medical as new Tottenham player, official statement next to announce him and Brazilian LB Souza from Santos.

Atlético Madrid receive €40m.

Fab r

Know nothing about Santos, although I did hear reports a few days back. Another youngster to help win the U21's

No surprise about Guehi, good luck to him at City.
Oliver Glasner also doing the offski, as expected, in July.

Thanks for the memories Oliver, it was absolutely outstanding having you @ S.P.

Bravo that man.

A class act slippy but gutted he ain't a pool player already. HGS

I once saw Mo Johnston sporting a Celtic strip and smiling into the cameras.  Two days later he signed for Rangers.  Are Liverpool not still in the Guehi race?

20 big ones am I missing something ?

Contract is up in the summer so couild walk away and be a free signing for someone.

if city have got him they have done some amazing january business

Fab R

I like Casemiro, classy player on his day and often a joy to watch. Dipped a bit of late though, but should find another club, or a lucrative deal in the States or similar.

Official, confirmed. Souza joins Tottenham from Santos on €15m deal.

New left back for Thomas Frank

Fab r

We've got nothing up front, but several full backs who are not the problem

Villa supposedly interested in Mateta.
He'd be a good buy for them I would think. Leaves us with not a lot of course. Wharton will be next...

David Ornstein

Besiktas have paid £11.2m to Roma for Tammy Abraham - as the Turkish club prepare to sell him to Aston Villa.

The striker had a medical on Saturday having travelled to the UK on Friday after Villa agreed an £18m deal with the Super Lig side.

Besiktas had an obligation to buy in the loan deal which took Abraham from Roma last summer and did not want to sell him, but are reluctantly allowing Abraham to return to England.

Abraham, who has 11 England caps, scored 12 goals in 24 games for Besiktas.

I agree

Eagle
The EDWARDS

Bobb's career been very up and down.

very good!

Crystal Palace have agreed a deal in principle worth in the region of £50m to sign Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.

£85 million on Johnson and Larsen . Great use of the Eze and Guehi money.

They have been mugged .

Evann Guessand will join #CPFC on loan with buy option clause, as @Santi_J_FM reports.

Wheres Mateta off to then?

Forest...or Spurs...or Saudi Arabia.

£50m for Larsen?  It’s gone beyond a joke now, it is absolutely sickening.
I do remember him scoring against Burnley once.

Looks like a panic buy.  Johnson ain't the Mae West either....he's a very limited player.

Jean Philippe Mateta has informed Crystal Palace board about his decision to join AC Milan.

He wants AC Milan now, immediately even if initial agreement was for June 2026.

€3.5m salary net per season agreed with Milan. Palace and AC Milan, on it.


Fab

I'm in despair.

Has looked like a passenger for a while Slippy, imo.  Must be gut-wrenching nevertheless.

Can’t be good to see for you, Slippy. They sell a couple of A-listers and replace them B-movie stars!

Dont upset them naughty Ultras

Blimey, Guessand has been bang average for Villa, and that's being kind.  Palace are falling fast.  They do look the third worst team in the PL as things stand.  Next 4 games crucial for them, including home matches against Burnley and Wolves.

I think Strand Larsen is a decent player (much prefer him to Johnson and Guessand) but £50m!!  Jesus wept

Jørgen Strand Larsen, on his way to medical as new Crystal Palace player.

Fab

Wolves agree deal in principle to sign Angel Gomes, here we go!

Loan move from Olympique Marseille for €1m fee plus buy option clause around €7m fee.

OM have approved the deal, waiting for formal steps and documents ahead of signatures.

Fab

Liverpool, in talks to sign Lutsharel Geertruida as new defender.

Initial contacts took place with Sunderland as Arne Slot knows him well since Feyenoord times.

#LFC in club to club negotiations

Fab

Kerkez exposed at left back yesterday, van Dijk the week before.  Defence @nything but dependable at present.
How is it that defenders who are paid thousands of pounds a week don’t take care of basics, like always endeavouring to get goal side of potential attacking threats?

Because they have 90 minutes, and have more than one task.

If a team parks the bus it helps remove risk of a defender
being exposed. If defender gets forward in attack and
other team get ball they can hit that space quickly.

Look at Liverpool second goal yesterday as fine example
of full back in press, exposed by quick ball and good
running by striker.

They have 90+ minutes and their prime task is to defend.  All that requires is concentration on the basics.  Easy.

Well yeah, if they disobey manager and just defend
that should be simple. Then they can sit in reserves
until they get with the plan.

It’s not about “just” defending, it’s about doing it right when it is required/essential, putting in the effort.  The guy can be tired after the game.  It’s laziness, mental and physical.

Not possible to run 40 yards in a second to cover somebody running
into the space you leave by attacking as requested by manager.

It's a game of creating advantages and overloading space
by moving defenders forward is a common tactic.

If you lose ball, or over press, you can be countered
as by trying to create an overload you have left a vacuum.

2 teams parking the bus will guarantee a 0-0

He didn’t have to run forty yards but it is possible.

Tyrique George to Everton, here we go! Deal in place after official bid sent yesterday as exclusively revealed.

Loan deal until June, full salary covered by #EFC and buy option clause not mandatory.

Fab

At 19. He's just a boy.

Lutsharel Geertruida-Liverpool deal considered OFF by Sunderland after talks not advancing today.

Understand fee is €60m plus €10m add-ons to Rennes. Jeremy has agreed personal terms with #LFC.

Fab

Jamaal Lascelles apparently leaving Newcastle
for Leicester City.

Top man is Jamaal, sad to see him go, but happy
if he's going to be playing.

Fulham reject Everton's bid for Harry Wilson; they don't want to sell even though he has only 6 months contract left. The way he's been playing I'd be happy if Spurs stepped in.

Simon Adingra to AS Monaco, here we go! Verbal agreement done with Sunderland.

Understand it’s a deal worth €1m with €17m buy option clause.

Fab

Nilson Angulo to Sunderland, here we go! Deal agreed now with Anderlecht.

22 year old Ecuadorian winger joins to replace Simon Adingra on his way to AS Monaco.

Fab

Would you think Fulham could afford to make a contract offer which might keep him Aspro.

They're taking a risk, for sure. I would imagine he'd get a better offer outside though. Big asset to lose for free, not going to be relegated and have little chance of a European berth so why not let him go now?

Yes.  Ty.

Mateta failed his medical with Milan and will be out for 3-4 months

Fulham deal for Pepi's not happening.

Turns out it was a huge mistake. The boss was actually asking for a cola.

Crystal Palace complete Jørgen Strand-Larsen deal from Wolves for £47m package for the striker.

#CPFC decide to proceed even after Jean Philippe Mateta didn’t join AC Milan


Fab

boring transfer day..... worse one on memory. The premier league is dead boring on and off the pitch. Worse season in living memory

Only a couple of teams have money to send.The same teams who win everything therefore getting richer therefore having money to spend therefore winning things and having money to spend ................................and so forth.

Raheem Sterling to Feyenoord, here we go! Deal agreed with former Chelsea winger.

6 month contract

Van persie apparently a big reason for the move.

It's Feb. Who moves in Feb on a wage? He just got paid 10m by Chelsea to buy out his contract
