2017 Transfer Talk

First 30 seconds are softcore porn, just amazing.

I've applied for a job at Milanello 67 times :(

 

not a bad start....

 

I think in most years yes but everyone is always a bit more concerned about playing time in a World Cup year.

 

Those shirts are gorgeous. Take note, Inter.

 

I hope levy is a complete asshole like he normally is so this drags on in the press and this costa shit isn't front page everywhere

 

If he doesn't then LFC will probably fuck something up and can take some of the page space.

 

Gunners

I think you were the one who brought it up but Bayern negotiated a release clause for gnabry when Bremen bought him last summer? Was there something fishy with the transfer itself or is this just a smart move by Bayern that no one else is really doing yet?

I wonder if paying money to a team to have first purchase opportunity becomes similar to the trend that we are seeing of selling your own players with a buyback clause that wasn't the norm 2-3 years ago but seems to be now.

 

Everyone taps up but Liverpool seem to have decided that they want to test the boundaries of how far to take it. Certainly a bizarre start to the window for them. As long as there are no issues with the solanke transfer you guys got a really good one though. Might not be next season but he's a very good young striker.

 

Beyond him, I meant that given the way we're operating right now we are bound to fuck up again and I don't think it's that we are pushing boundaries. I'm not sure our front office knows all the rules that well. Solanke would be a solid purchase for any squad right now.

 

I have no idea what exactly it was but Bremen and Bayern have both consistently denied any sort of arrangement. Best guess is Bayern thought Arsenal would up the price a lot if Bayern was buying so they made an arrangement with Bremen.

When Mini Raiola gets a 60,000 euro fine by fifa for his role in making over 40 million in the Pogba deal, you know the whole regulation process is a fucking joke.

 

Terry should really just retire.

 

Luckily for you Levy takes that as a compliment, he isn't a man you want to be at odds with.

 

I am sure Gunners would concur that 21 is wayyy low for Eric Dier. There can't possibly be 20 more valuable players on Earth.

Spoiler

 

Eric Dier is definitely worth more than Toni Kroos

 

If his name were Tony Crews from bumfuck England he'd have an extra 40m added to his value.

 

Apparently Everton bid 30 million pounds for Pickford

 

Would you sell at 30? Lots of money for a GK, Man City's business aside.

 

Young guy at a position where you can typically rely on stability who is primed to be the future England number 1. Might seem like a bit much but I think that's a good move.

 

Could be a bit of a blow to Pool, too.

 

We're not buying another keeper.

 

Well, that sucks for y'all.

 

Mignolet was better last season, to be fair. And tapping up Fraser Forster is no longer an option.

 

Just depends on which Mignolet shows up next year and if Karius can develop a little more.

 

FIFY

 

Yeah I think it's fair. He deserves to play in the top flight.

 

Tancredi Palmeri. What a guy.

 

It's crazy that Pickford is 5 years older than Donnarumma

 

They'd be idiotic not to.

 

Hope PSG offer us 100m for Donnarumma

 

How is this dudes double the value of Szczesny?

 

An English player went from one English club to another English club

 

He's also 4 years younger than Szczesny, has elite distribution skills, and if all goes well you likely get to keep him as your #1 keeper for 10+ years.

 

Christ

 

Bruma to RB Leipzig

 

Tolisso to Bayern

 

So he will most likely be the next Real Madrid keeper whenever they decide they want him. At least that's what the clause tells me

 

The clause is rumored to be 50m and can only be activated if Milan don't qualify for Champions League this season. I have a hard time believing this roster won't finish top 4 next year but you never know
