First big deal of the summer signed, sealed and delivered.
Icardi has joined PSG for Β£52 million. Thereβs been talk of big money deals being shunned this summer for fear of public opinion being negative but imo much like the rush to get to the beach and forget lockdown, I very much doubt (rightly or wrongly) people will care about big deals being done once the players arrive.
Football is as they say, the opium of the masses and Iβm sure big deals will happen this summer without too much consternation. Perhaps not as much as years gone by but enough to make the summer interesting.
It has begun π°π°π°π°π°

I can see a lot of swap deals happening this summer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite a few cash-strapped clubs could also end up desperate to renegotiate long-term payment plans for players they've sold in the past.

That's true, Barcelona being one of them.

Is the window open now Robb?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I actually don’t know when it opens in the PL Tbf
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Interesting question actually. If it opens on June 10th as it was due to, presumably Chelsea will get Ziyech for the remainder of the season? There'll be little resistance from Ajax with the Eredivise over.

He’ll officially become a Chelsea player but won’t be allowed to be registered for the premier league until next season.

Great poacher - awful human.

Is he the guy who’s wife decides where he’s playing?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think she’s his agent, not too sure though.

Though there’s rumours that new transfers may be allowed to play in UEFA competition. So he may be allowed to play when Chelsea get battered in their second leg vs Bayern.
