Don't take this the wrong way mate but how much football do you watch because you seem to have an opinion on almost every transfer rumour.

I've started watching more football over the past couple of years and have started to keep up with multiple big leagues. I don't catch every match possible, but I do tend to catch at least 1-3 matches per big league (Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1, Premier League) per week. I pick and choose my matches based on what's available to me with relative ease, the players who are playing, and the potential for a competitive match.

Yesterday, I watched both La Liga matches as well as the League Cup match between Spurs & Chelsea.

Torgeir Børven has signed for Ankaragücü, leaving Rosenborg after only three months. Fee around €200.000.

Oh wow, that really surprises me. Albeit I don't follow the day to day of Eliteserien now that I don't live in Norway, but I remember there being some drama about him leaving Odd this spring/summer. I guess he's not Hareide's preferred type of player. Plus I see now he's never really stayed in a club for long. I wasn't even aware he had been abroad before. :lol:

The Caf is lucky that I don't spam this thread with more irrelevenat foreign football transfers. I could easily post way, way more than this but only hold back to offer interesting transfers or stories involving players that the Caf follow/followed previously as well as the usual bigger/well-known clubs.

Yeah you maybe right but what happened to fridge he seems to be not posting much on Lower leagues lack of transfer action there due to covid or he had given up due to constant back and forth between his supporters and detractors.

He stopped posting due to rising tensions from United fans over the whole transfer window. He didn't want to agitate them any further.

That's great mate any players you might have come across while watching who may not be linked to any big clubs right now but could be primed for breakthrough.

Ahhh yes lets just write off any youngster that we buy because they may end up on the treatment table.

Let's not take the risk lads! Let's buy a ready made superstar at 28.

Oh wait that's too old! Near retirement age, how stupid of me....and at 28 he may also damped the development of our academy products!

What about a 24 year old on the cusp of great things.....ah he'll damage the hopes of our academy products.....shite, can't do that either.

What about a youngster again? Too inexperienced?

Ahh crap. Must be in limbo lads....looks like the cheque book is staying in the safe once more this year guys! Sorry!

What the hell are you on about :lol::wenger:

In all honesty, I'm surprised we're haggling so much on this one. Smalling is currently our longest serving player, right? The manager doesn't really want him, and he doesn't want to be here either, so I would've thought we'd let that departure go a little smoother.

We had a loan to buy agreement with Roma. Roma loved the player but didn't want to pay the AGREED fee.

Smalling ended up in the Serie A team of the season. Why the hell should we drop the agreed price?

With his age, contract situation and squad ranking, it's a great price

Was there an agreement to buy? I don't think there was any agreed fee.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/aug/29/chris-smalling-join-roma-on-loan-manchester-united
"Chris Smalling is set to join Roma on loan from Manchester United after a deal was agreed under which the Italian club will pay €3m (£2.7m) to take the defender for the season without an option to buy."

Marcus Thuram
Florian Neuhaus
Ramy Bensebaini
Noah Katterbach
Edmond Tapsoba
Moussa Diaby
Florian Wirtz

Marc Cucurella
Lee Kang-In
Maxi Gomez
Mikel Merino (yeah, he barely got a look in at Newcastle, but he's been very good for Sociedad and has even played for the national team)
Pervis Estupinan
Unai Simon

Ismael Bennacer
Manuel Locatelli
Takehiro Tomiyasu
Aaron Hickey
Andreas Skov Olsen
Sofyan Amrabat

I wonder if they'll succeed in getting Nikola Milenkovic from Fiorentina (I doubt it, personally).

Source is sketchy but Liverpool have sold their fringe players in past for good amount. We keep likes of Lingard, Jones etc till their value is virtually next to nothing and then complain about not being able to sell.

This is an old joke but seriously...this time it makes a perfect sense.

What a roller coaster that would be for Newcastle fans, going into the window hoping for a Saudi takeover and spending hundreds of millions on world class players. But that all going tits up and signing Phil Jones instead.
