Wonder if any progress on Rushworth/Ipswich after earlier rumours....

You're right - it looks like they've already committed over £80m, with more to come! £30m KDH, £29 Estevao Willian (Palmeiras), £19m Kellyman (Villa) and £5m Guiu (Barca). Plus they are apparently about to trigger the £20m release clause for Anselmino at Boca, taking the spend up to £100m...

The fee Leeds agreed with Brentford was £35m. Presumably the swap element is what helped them secure a £40m fee from Spurs a day later?

So Spurs - Leeds did a player swap type deal too (along with Villa - Juventus, Villa - Everton, Villa - Chelsea, Chelsea - Leicester and Newcastle - Forest)!

Exactly - it contained seven players aged over 32, a few teenagers whose minutes needed to be managed and some injury prone players (Lamptey, Webster) and others returning from long injury (Moder). The numbers flattered to decieve. And to top it off, it was players falling into neither of those...

It might have something to do with Newcastle signing a goalkeeper from Forest at the same time. Doesn't look like much of a goalie for that matter!!

I was saying Leicester got a better deal with us. The player obviously will get more in the short term with Chelsea.

Leicester are buying Michael Golding - an 18 year old midfielder from Chelsea, with no PL minutes for £5m. So, how much would that make a 25 year old international with 57 PL appearances?

So, it sounds like we were willing to pay Leicester £25m and give them Moder. Whereas, Chelsea are paying £30m, but Leicester have to buy an academy player from them for £5m. They would have definitely got the better deal with us.

Looks like it was Tottenham.

Looks like more teams interested in Gray and Brentford deal may be off.
