Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson has joined Nottingham Forest on a season long loan. There is no option to buy and a condition of the loan is that Henderson can't play against United in the Premier
League.

European transfer market in the last decade.
Galatasaray have made Egypt forward Mostafa Mohamed's loan from Zamalek permanent by paying £3.46m for a three year deal.
Mohamed has spent the past two seasons at Galatasaray, scoring 8 goals in 16 matches in 2020/21 and 5 goals in 17 matches last season.

RMMaybe I missed discussion of this, as I was travelling, but what do
people think about the following confirmed or strongly rumoured transfers:
Darwin Nuñez to Liverpool
Richarlison to Spurs (good player, but is he not pretty equivalent to Son ?)
Kalvin Phillips to Man City (do they really need reinforcements ?)
Eriksen to Man United
Gabriel Jesus to Arsenal
Calvin Ramsay to Liverpool
Fabio Carvalho to Liverpool
gareth Bale to LAFC
Insigne to TFC
Fabio Vieira to Arsenal
Ortega to Man City
Rumour also that Bernardo Silva wants to move to Barca.

So on the subject of Jesús, it feels like he’s been around forever, I was expecting him to be over 30 but apparently he’s only 25. Not a great goal scoring record in the past two seasons but that might be to do with Man City’s playing system.

So I guess this begs the question is any of this 81mE going on improving the overall quality of the squad so that the club can take the next step and challenge for the later stages of the Champions League?
Or is the club content to keep making profits producing a conveyor belt of talent to sell on?

Pogba and Di Maria both to Juve on free transfers. Juventus using a new stealth approach of picking up high profile free agents rather than spending millions on transfer fees. Could be a masterstroke.

Carina Wenninger from FC Bayern Frauen to Roma. Not a single player left in Bayern Munchen's squad that started the 2016 Championship winning season. Where's the loyalty in football these days?

To be honest, the stealth approach had been more successful than the recent spree of high-profile acquisitions.I think Khedira might have been the last free transfer success? Certainly in more recent times Can, Rabiot, and Ramsey were not. Maybe I am missing someone.

One wonders how motivated he will be after the WC.I see Pogba (along with Neymar) as the ultimate luxury player. Give them a balanced and dominant team and they will look like rockstars. But in lesser teams they are defensive liabilities - they are too much flair players who are not bothered with
Slight sidebar but he biggest Pogba myth is that he's a far better player for France than he is for Man U. He is the same player - he gives away the ball and gets caught in possession often for France too but they have the defensive structure to cleanup after him. As did the dominant Juventus he played for before.

long years of service, because Bayern can't give her first-team minutes anymore, and she wanted to play in one more foreign country before the
end of her career.

Kalidou Koulibaly Napoli to ChelseaUnderstandable with Rüdiger leaving.
Cyle Larin went to Bruges from Besiktas. He joins Tajon Buchanan in the Canadian contingent there. Might not be a smart move, though, as the competition with De Ketelaere might be too stiff.
Bernardeschi to TFC from JUve now confirmed. Criscito has player,

Looks like I was premature. Leeds signed Tyler Adams instead of Camara (Jesse Marsch still going with what he knows).
But I'm pretty sure Camara is still Premier League-bound. Perhaps to Brighton?
So I guess this begs the question is any of this 81mE going on improving the overall quality of the squad so that the club can take the next step and challenge for the later stages of the Champions League?
All but impossible. The kind of players you'd need for that won't ever move to the Austrian League (or any similar league,
for that matter).
and at 18 years old already with two full Ligue 1 seasons for Saint-Étienne.

Promising English (and to a lesser extent French, Spanish, German... not sure about Italian) youngsters
will always be overpriced just due to their nationality.
That's why I mentioned the 100 million number, because at that price point we aren't just talking very good players, we are talking young phenoms.All under-30 players who have lost more than 50% in their market value since July 1, 2019I think you missed the point of my post on two levels (or maybe I didn't articulate it well enough). It's not a dig at the quality of Serie A (which is old news as you point out), but rather a propensity of significanty overrate some of its young stars.

Sara Dabritz from PSG to Lyon, confirmed.
More or less anyway; there's been too many mentions of her on the Lyon women's team's facebook page for it to be remotely unlikely.
Juventus have released Aaron Ramsey and Forest are among the contenders to sign him, as are Everton.

Add the 30m€ for Adeyemi, and Salzburg are closing the gap to Ajax, Porto, and Benfica as the most profitable team on the
European transfer market in the last decade.
Looks like I was premature. Leeds signed Tyler Adams instead of Camara (Jesse Marsch still going with what he knows).
But I'm pretty sure Camara is still Premier League-bound. Perhaps to Brighton?
So I guess this begs the question is any of this 81mE going on improving the overall quality of the squad so that the club can take the next step and challenge for the later stages of the Champions League?
All but impossible. The kind of players you'd need for that won't ever move to the Austrian League (or any similar league,But not for lack of trying. Salzburg just spent 13m€ (Austrian Bundesliga record, closely edging out Aaronson)* on Lucas Gourna-Douath, French U-19 captain
for that matter).
and at 18 years old already with two full Ligue 1 seasons for Saint-Étienne.

*Salzburg now hold the Austrian Bundesliga record for top 18 most expensive transfers in, and top 25 most expensive transfers out.
I can't help but marvel at the full out list:
Brenden Aaronson 33m€ (Leeds)(+ bonuses, but those will probably be offset by FCKs cut)
Karim Adeyemi 30m€ (Dortmund)
Patson Daka 30m€ (Leicester)
Naby Keïta 30m€ (Leipzig)
Enock Mwepu 23m€ (Brighton)
Sadio Mané 23m€ (Southampton)
Dominik Szoboszlai 22m€ (Leipzig)
Erling Haaland 20m€ (Dortmund)
Duje Ćaleta-Car 19m€ (Marseille)
Amadou Haidara 19m€ (Leipzig)
Dayot Upamecano 19m€ (Leipzig)
Rasmus Højlund 17m€ (Sturm Graz -> Atalanta)
We bought him seven months ago from FC Copenhagen for 1.8m€.
That's a slightly better yield than I get at the bank. I should buy a football player.
Ciao,
Werner
Munas Dabbur 17m€ (Sevilla)
Jonathan Soriano 15m€ (Beijing Guoan)
Diadié Samassékou 14m€ (Hoffenheim)
Rasmus Kristensen 13m€ (Leeds)

Valentino Lazaro 11m€ (Hertha BSC)
Martin Hinteregger 11m€ (Augsburg)
Marin Pongračić 9m€ (Wolfsburg)
Takumi Minamino 9m€ (Liverpool)
Morgan Gibbs-White, Wolves to Nottingham Forest, £25m (twenty five million), rising to £42.5m (forty two point five million) with add ons .Maximilian Wöber 8m€ (Rapid -> Ajax, and he was brought back to Austria by Salzburg in the end)
RMThe Nottingham Forest transfers are relentless, there are a few I’ve not been able to keep up with, but let me report this one:
Renan Lodi (yes, RENAN LODI!), Atlético de Madrid to Nottingham Forest, season long loan (with an option to buy for E30m).
RMRe: Lodi, I said this about Gabriel Jesus too but it seems like he’s been around forever, before checking I’d have said he might be late 20s, but he’s actually only 24. One of the side effects of players starting younger I guess.

The party finally has ended and big surprise, the WWEpl spent the most of the big 5, like almost a billion more than anyone
else ( who needs a Superliga).
The Bundesliga the least, as they actually made a 45 mil profit according to these numbers.
How do you go to a party and come back with more money, unless you are a drug dealer or a whore? Some big last minute
hookups include Auba coming back home to London but not with old flame Arsenal, but to new hookup Chelsea and Akanji
going to a stranger's house in Manchester. In this day and age, I think BVB did NOT get enough money for either Akanji nor
for The Force of Nature.
Then again they got plenty for the likes of Pulisic and Sancho and will probably get a lot for the
Englishman Bellingham. Englishmen and Americans are worth more than Swiss or Nordics in the WWEpl, possibly due to
them always being good guys while the Europeans are usually heels in the WWEpl.
Whoever is managing the Bundesliga Rejects in the Fantasy thing, will actually have to manage the team, it seems like their
are so many of them rejects now. Used to be so easy, I mean you could not spend the 100mil on a team before. It is difficult
now, even guys like Xhaka, Gross and Firmino are scoring. I would think the Liga Portugal Bwin Rejects would be a
decent/easy team to manage and actually get points as well?
I thought the Spanish liga was broke again, but they came second in spending with a net loss/spend of 64M, the Spanish do
like to Party. It seems this year was not as hyped as before, maybe I just am not interested enough anymore, but in the past it
always seemed like the end of the transfer window was like a big election night production.
Net spend of the top 5 leagues according to some random guy on the twitter:

I was wondering that too.
Also, are these figures correct? 1.33 billion is more than a billion more than 64 million.

In reality, there is no such thing as the 'Big 5' anymore.
It's EPL > La Liga > Serie A/Bundesliga > Ligue 1/Eredivisie/Primeira Liga

Carina Wenninger from FC Bayern Frauen to Roma. Not a single player left in Bayern Munchen's squad that started the 2016 Championship winning season. Where's the loyalty in football these days?You realise (actually I'm pretty sure you don't) that Wenninger has been *loaned out* to Roma by Bayern as a kind of thank you for her
long years of service, because Bayern can't give her first-team minutes anymore, and she wanted to play in one more foreign country before the
end of her career.
No I didn't know that. I'm still puzzled about why so many players have come and gone at Bayern Munchen in such a short time though. It's understandable at a small club that can't keep it's best players because richer clubs can offer them higher wages,but why is this happening at Bayern Munchen?
