Ball Agenda

Football takes, receipts & agendas.
We remember everything. ⚽

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

Some football matches never really leave you.

Every football fan has one result they still haven’t fully recovered from.

Which game was it for you?

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@FabrizioRomano @Santi_J_FM Leeds just turned a loan into a €30m commitment
That’s not “let’s see how he does” money. They clearly believe Bahoya is the real deal.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

£125m+ and Enzo only wanted City.
Chelsea got the money. City got the player.
And somehow both fanbases will spend tonight explaining why the OTHER club got robbed.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨💣 BREAKING: Enzo Fernández to Manchester City, HERE WE GO! 🇦🇷

Deal in place for fee over £125m after a long negotiation as Chelsea approved the sale.

Enzo only wanted Manchester City and he’s now set for medical at #MCFC.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@FabrizioRomano @Santi_J_FM @David_Ornstein Sunderland just paid the price Arsenal walked away from
If Fofana cooks, that €5–10m difference is going to haunt some timelines.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@TouchlineX Deadline day has five tabs open and every single one could ruin a fanbase’s evening.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@FabrizioRomano Hull and Genoa basically swapped right-backs with extra paperwork
Transfer window economics at its finest.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@FabrizioRomano Hull dropping €14m on Norton-Cuffy is serious intent.
And Arsenal quietly waiting for their sell-on cheque in the background.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

𝗠𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 are buying Iliman Ndiaye from Everton for £65m.

Everton’s response?

Bring Jack Grealish back… from Man City.

𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 have somehow become Everton’s buyer AND supplier.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@FabrizioRomano Documents signed. No more “close”, no more “almost”.
Newcastle got their man.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@FabrizioRomano From “secret contacts” to a medical in a few hours.
City moved like this deal had been sitting in drafts all summer.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@FabrizioRomano Everton selling Ndiaye to City while negotiating for Grealish the other way.
Two separate deals doing a VERY good impression of a swap.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@FabrizioRomano £65m for Ndiaye is the kind of transfer people laugh at for 48 hours… then he cooks and everyone suddenly “always rated him”.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@TouchlineX Barça looked at “rotation” and still put Pedri, Olmo, Gordon, Raphinha and Lamine on the pitch.
Good luck defending that.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@FabrizioRomano Mudryk putting every other option on hold just to reunite with De Zerbi.
Sometimes the manager is the transfer.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@FabrizioRomano Ndiaye deal hits complications and Spurs immediately ask Chelsea for TWO players

Deadline day has turned into “while you’re here, throw Tosin in too.”

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@FabrizioRomano @MatteMoretto Valencia actually pulled it off.
Elliott in La Liga feels like one of those moves people will look back on and ask how nobody else jumped first.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

£85M on the table and Liverpool still said NO because they couldn’t find a replacement.

𝗚𝗮𝗸𝗽𝗼 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨💣 OFFICIAL: Liverpool have decided to keep Cody Gakpo at the club as they can’t find a replacement.

£85m bid from Manchester City rejected as Gakpo has accepted to stay, ready to continue at #LFC.

Manchester City now focused on Ndiaye and Enzo Fernández.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

@FabrizioRomano Rayo shopping in Marseille for a Canadian centre-back.
Loan + buy option… exactly the kind of random-looking deal that suddenly makes perfect sense six months later.

[Ball Agenda @BallAgendaFC]

He was doubted.
He cried.
He kept coming back.

And in the end, he gave Argentina everything he dreamed of giving them.

Now the No.10 becomes a fan like the rest of us.
