Misread this as Westeros from The Dance of Fire & Ice (Games of Throne).

Brighton signed Stuijk from Leeds for 20m and Vuskovic from Tottenham 55m. So they’ll have a decent looking pairing there, although rumour is that Hurtzler wants to go to a back three so you could throw Dunk in there too.
Given the fees involved they’ve essentially paid way below market value for a solid PL starter and then traded van Hecke for Vuskovic. Pretty good business all in all.

Wow, Spurs buying Tonali as well for up to 100M.
What on earth is happening in the market this summer!
And with Spurs for that matter.

You have to credit Spurs. Their midfield was an abomination these last couple of seasons.

I’m starting to think the Real Madrid tactic is increasingly going to become more and more of the norm for elite players.
You put £15m straight in a players pocket plus £10m to the agent and an extra £100k a week bonus on top of what would be a normal wage (say £350k instead of £250k) and over the course of five years and that’s £116m or an average of £23.2m a year. Compare that to £100m fee, £250k a week and £5m for signing bonus and agent fees. That’s £170m or £34m a year.
It’s the point now where if someone like Lamal wanted out of Barca or Haaland out of City, no one could afford them.
Makes us getting back to being smarter in the market ever more important.

Metro linking Bruno Guimaraes with a move to Arsenal. If true, Newcastle seem to have gone from selling almost no one last summer to selling almost everyone this window.
