Summer 2026 Transfer Thread

I wondered if Saudi investment in Newcastle was going to continue apace … I’m guessing maybe not. Then again, with the stupid financial rules, that could net them a tidy profit to re-invest. Newcastle, like Villa, just doesn’t have the ancillary revenue to spend like the teams that have massive international fan bases do.
 
It's kind of funny how they are paying about three times the fee for Gordon than they would have had to for Rashford, but I'm assuming that Gordon's wage demands were significantly less than Rashford's which is the bigger issue for them.

I saw some speculation that Gordon’s weekly wages will be roughly one third what Rashford gets. He’s still quite a good player, but his salary is just so far out of whack with what Rashford actually does that it makes him impossible to navigate.

And in a move widely anticipated (and apparently not abandoned), Andy Robertson is signing on a free with Spurs. ☹️

Love Andy … a cornerstone of the Scottish team for a long time now. I was kind of hoping he’d decide to skip the Spurs mess and go enjoy playing in Italy instead. I’ll be happy to be able to watch him play more often though.
 
He’s gonna run to that job after dealing with the idiotic American soccer press and our childish fan base for a couple of years.
