5m for LT, 8m for Leno. Better than paying them to leave, but I would have wanted a

1 in front of both fees. That's not unreasonable, is it? Martinez went for 20m, sameish age, after half a season. Leno's a proven German intl.

And how did we have a deal for the wops to buy LT for 15m and then they just say no?

I get the squad's being rebuilt, and this is looking like a 2nd decent summer window in a row for the first time in ages.

But I think these dastardly foreigners are taking the mick. Do they not have Cheese & Onion Discos over there?

I imagine the club just don't care about the money and would rather just give these players away.

Or perhaps, if clubs aren't prepared to bid higher we have to take what is offered or the player just rots in reserve

That's the point.

But even ignoring inflation, if we could have bought a Leno for £8m when we were cursed with Almunia, I'd have bitten your hand off. Ditto LT for 6m when we were looking for a Coq upgrade.

Would be nice to get most of the clear out done. I still want another MF - that's where we're weak, and have been ever since we decided to ditch Gwedndo, Ozzy and LT and only buy Partey.

Leno deal…

£3m up front
£1m for number of PL appearances
£2m if the stay up
£2m if the stay up a 2nd time

So at this stage it’s only £3m for a top class premier league proven goalkeeper.

Pat Vegas Maths says if he plays every game for Fulham we will get £38m for him.

The market is what the market is, Tone. I'm pretty sure if someone had offered more we would have accepted it

Every Big Six club bar possibly Man City is struggling to trim the fat of their squads. Possibility that Chelsea - often cited as being good at selling players - will have the following players out on loan this year:

Kepa (bought for 72 million)
Lukaka (98 million)
Werner (48 million)

218 million!

Definitely not a sellers' market for the big clubs

I think Tielemans will come - not too sure if he is the right player but Mikel seems to want him

I think it's already in the bag. Nobody else seems to be going in for him. 'accoring to reports'

It's been an odd one - seemed to have personal terms sorted ages ago but haven't made a bid. Not too sure about signing Belgians though. Strange sorts
