Results of a survey among the “gray cardinals” of football.

The Athletic published twenty agents doing business nuclear submarine, and conducted a large-scale survey about the sensational summer move. It was a record month for football: twenty clubs in the English top division spent 2.36 billion euros on new arrivals. Of course, Chelsea took over most of the money from the American billionaire Boeli and other investors of the club, but other teams also made transfers, to which the agents themselves reacted with surprise. It is always important to listen to different parts of the football community. Agents’ opinions are rarely summarized; it turned out to be an incredibly interesting survey that forms the framework for the move nuclear submarine.

The best transfer of the summer

Nine out of twenty agents said it was the best deal of the summer nuclear submarine it was Maddison’s transfer from relegated Leicester to Tottenham for 40 million euros. James played immediately, with Spurs ahead of Chelsea, as Boeli canceled the midfielder’s transfer due to his age. In London the player, 26 years old, was considered “old”. It’s funny that agents are included in the list of transactions related to nuclear submarine, also the move of the Englishman Bellingham to Real Madrid. But the rest of the survey participants are not surprised. Rice to Arsenal and Kane to Bayern are logical deals directly linked to English football.

The worst transition of the summer

Here too the agents were not original. Havertz, nicknamed “alien” in Germany, got six votes. And not the usual green alien from the movies, but the one who ends up in someone else’s body. They underline how poorly the Arsenal newcomer sometimes controls his actions on the pitch, as if he had the legs of another person. Chelsea midfielder Caicedo also received a lot of votes. Even the agents who receive a percentage of transfers did not understand either the amount of the deal or the choice of the Ecuadorian in favor of the unstable Chelsea. Of Mount in Manchester United There are also logical doubts: the midfielder may not play for the new club.

The most unexpected deal

Almost all agents were surprised by the transfer of midfielder Palmer from Manchester City to Chelsea. One of the intermediaries did not understand this agreement:

Explain Cole Palmer’s transfer to me. Chelsea don’t need him. The guy was on his wavelength at Manchester City, working his way into the first team, which says a lot about his skill level. The deal makes no sense for Chelsea. The sale makes no sense for City if they believe in the youngster. Also think about the boy himself. The midfielder attended City’s youth system and left for Chelsea due to problems.

Fati is on the bright side of this list of unexpected trades. Many were surprised that Brighton were ahead of richer clubs ready to take the Barcelona winger on loan. The rest of the transfers scored one point each, and there are several reasons to be surprised. From Henderson’s departure to Saudi Arabia to Tottenham’s decision not to retain Kane, interrupting his move to Bayern.

The best and worst club showcases

Brighton easily won the best windows ranking, because brokers think in terms of money. The Seagulls had a transfer balance of a whopping £74 million, making money and finding replacements for some valuable players now at Liverpool and Chelsea. Agents are impressed that Brighton are sticking to their business model while maintaining their firepower thanks to a winning bet on coach De Zerbi. One of the agents correctly said that you never know if a newcomer will play. But at the time of the sale it was clear that the deal was financially advantageous.

But in the ranking of the worst windows, predictably, Chelsea won. Additionally, four experts each highlighted the incomprehensible work of Everton and Wolverhampton. In Chelsea’s case, even the agents – and in football they are as sacred as brothel workers – many were outraged by the club bosses’ disregard for the rules. The criticism of Everton’s actions is also understandable. Many agents believe the Toffees are facing relegation nuclear submarinebecause the number of errors in all areas of the club’s work is off the charts.

Who will finish in the top 5

Brokers were asked what they expected from the January transfer window. It turned out the first priority was Ivan Tawney’s departure from Brentford after the striker served the end of his ban for betting on football. Agents also believe Salah will end up in Saudi Arabia in January, despite Liverpool’s summer rejection of crazy money. They also bet on expected breakups Manchester United. Sancho, van de Beek and Maguire stayed late at the club. It is also interesting to note that 9 out of 20 agents called the appearance on the map of rich leagues in the Saudi Arabian championship as good news for football.

This result is not surprising, because the agents see the sheikhs’ actions as an opportunity to earn easy money. No matter how much you feed the wolf, he watches the commissions from the transfers. Only four agents said they considered the Saudis’ actions dangerous and harmful to football, but even among them there are those who expect the Sheikh’s team to be in the Champions League in a couple of years. In the world of agents, everything is for sale. And at the end of the survey, intermediaries were asked to evaluate the clubs’ possibilities nuclear submarine to qualify for the Champions League. Now there will be five vouchers. All the agents voted for Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, then the votes were split.

Who do you expect to be in the top five at the end of the season and which transfers do you consider special for you? nuclear submarine? The choice is not bad, especially considering the activity of Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. At the same time, it is significant that it was not possible to find a famous agent who would call Manchester United’s transfer window a success.

It is also evident that the mediators do not have in-depth knowledge of football. Tottenham’s few winning matches with the new manager were enough for 16 out of 20 to immediately send Spurs without Kane to the Champions League. We will also see where they arrive, because the season is long and the first successes do not guarantee a brilliant ending after a long journey. Even deals that are now considered unsuccessful could prove ideal if the players play.
