2021 Summer Transfer Thread

Can we hold 5mm? We're good for it.

 

thank god the Super League hasn’t tarnished the beautiful game

 

That’s amazing and how is that possible? Why hasn’t someone bought them

 

Nice signing for Leverkusen. Only 19 and was one of the best defenders at the Copa America

 

Barca ripe for an oil nation that wants to sports wash their image to hop in

 

or some Americans that want to squeeze the life out of a vanity asset for profits and tax writeoffs

 

barca isn’t going to allow someone to buy them that won’t spend

 

Hasn't Bezos been interested in NFL teams, seems like buying Barcelona would be an even greater ego purchase.

 

He already bought Tottenham’s stadium or something right

 

Spurs own it, debt and all. He owns the Seattle Key Arena iirc.

 

I'd say that twitter rumors of Barca and arsenal swapping auba and coutinho have to be rubbish, but with those two clubs I guess anything is possible

Spoiler

 

I think I’d rather have Coutinho.

 

Same

 

i think i’d rather not have coutinho imo

 

They are both bad. Coutinho, Xhaka & Partey all sending shots to the upper deck, from 40m out, could become quite the drinking game though

 

I think Arsenal should try and pair them up. It could work. I swear.

 

Coutinho is a Champions League winner. You mopes might learn a thing or two about how to win or transform your physique.

 

I think they reduce wages in this swap so I guess so

 

Abraham to Roma is social media official.

 

Glad they’re trying to help people but those always depress the shit out of me.

 

Lol I thought they had successfully avoided that mistake. Like a child testing a hot stovetop, except Arsenal didn’t learn their lesson.

 

£20M for starting, homegrown, GK isn’t a mistake. The argument against was never about the player, it was the reported £30M asking price

 

There’s another goalkeeper you could go for, homegrown and everything, but higher price tag but you’ve gotta show some ambition.

we’ll cut you a deal, £175m

 

I’m beginning to think y’all don’t have Arsenal’s best interest at heart with these transfer suggestions

 

They let a better home grown keeper go to Villa last year for the same price

 

Thank you

 

How many times must we go over this shit? Leno was injured & had no offers. Coupled with Emi being a bitch, didn't want to compete & wanted guarantees... hence ending up at a small club

 

You could have just given Emi the job

 

Ramsdale stats suggests he is bad, think that is more the issue than where he was grown.

 

Rams are grown on farms

 

Now I want to watch a Pixar movie (Zootopia spin-off maybe?) about a ram growing up in the city but he’s always ramming into structures making them collapse so he’s an outcast until he goes through an emotional journey to find where he truly belongs rather than trying to unnaturally fit in elsewhere.

 

I think they’re more average to slightly above average than bad

 

“Billy”TM

 

post his xG conceded stats

 

It occurs to me that a mountain goat and a ram are actually separate animals.

Real miss on my part

 

His post shot xG minus goals allowed is 71st percentile

That’s from when the shot leaves the foot, how much is he stopping compared to what is expected

 

Yeah but how about this, we go with the billy goat angle and then tie in the Chicago Cubs curse.
