Transfer: 2016 Summer Transfer Window

[cgf]

Citeh is probably not getting Ilkay, but if they do, I'd start praying that BVB spent all of their money on Gotze & Torres.

Everything coming out of Ingerland is saying Ilkay to City is going down. Do you think he re-signs?

The last I'd heard about the situation was that Ilkay gave the BVB brass the answer that they wanted to hear ~a week ago, to the question of whether he wanted to work out an extension or move in the summer. Granted, until that extension's hammered out and announced, nothing's final.

It seems pretty up in the air. There seems to be more and better noise about him moving to Citeh (and generally Citeh rumors are far less trashy and clickbaity than rumors for the other top English clubs) but I still don't think he has decided for sure. Remember that Dortmund's official twitter account announced around this time last year that Gündogan wouldn't stay with the club. I think he and Hummels are still deciding.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Feghouli suspended by Valencia...the nail on the coffin. Wonder who snaps him up. Solid off the bench player, who can carry the play in short stints.

He can be a starter in a good team in many leagues... not in a top team, but I think he could be a starter for a team like Wolfsburg or Lyon, just named the first that popped in my head

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Talk here in Barcelona is that Pep wants Ilkay in City... and if Pep wants him there's a very good chance he'll be a City player next season. I'm sure City will pay something nice to Dortmund

 

[Evilo]

I expect lots of changes for Paris this summer. They're really frustrated right now and many players will either want to leave or be shown the door.
Ibra, VdW and Maxwell are free this summer and will likely be gone.
Motta had a terrible second half of the season and seems toasted.
A decision has to be made regarding the CB who will play along side Silva. Marquinhos or Luiz, one will have to go (or Luiz might play in midfield). Marquinhos is fed up and will leave if he can't start. El Khelaifi wants him to stay at all cost.
Lucas has to go. He really isn't top quality in his head. Nice guy, nice speed, but not a top player. Ever.
Cavani might want to leave. If a good offer comes up, PSG might sell even with Ibra leaving.
Sirigu will leave, he was treated like **** even though he never deserved it. I still think he's a better goalie than Trapp.
Verratti seems likely to stay one more year.
And finally, Blanc is a question mark as of now. Don't think there are many better coaches on the market however.

So will stay : Trapp, Kuzawa (Digne might come back?), Silva, Luiz, Marquinhos (?), Aurier (?), Verratti, Matuidi, Rabiot (?), Stambouli (?), Di Maria, Pastore (?).

Big changes are coming to Paris this summer. And I don't see many strikers that will move to Paris and who are top level stikers. They're all set in Madrid, Barcelona, Munich, etc...

 

[VEGASKING]

I forgot Kurzawa even went to PSG. Why is he playing so little? Only played 5 matches since mid December and has 1 goal and 3 assists in those matches.

 

[S E P H]

^ Matuidi should leave and come to the Arsenal. Perfect player for all of Arsenal's weaknesses.

- Mikkel Arteta rumoured to join Man City, lol. as a coach

- Arsenal are going heavily after Boca Junior wonderkid Rodrigo Bentancur. Heard some great things about him, especially his intelligence and strength which Wenger would utilize as a deep-lying playmaker.

- Szczesny is wanting Leicester to win. Hahahah. He's probably good as gone after this.

 

[Cassano]

Liverpool linked with Dembele. Think it would be a great fit.

Highly doubt this. No one credible is reporting it and they would be wayyyyyyy behind the 8 ball.

He has been great. Blanc just goes with Maxwell in every important game.

 

[Evilo]

Liverpool linked with Dembele. Think it would be a great fit.

Which Dembele?

 

[ProPAIN]

Which Dembele?

Which one do you think?

Apparently the source is RMC. Spurs are also being linked. I don't know how every big club isn't.

I hope Chelsea can expoit their Rennes-Boga connection and come to an agreement.

 

[Savant]

Which Dembele?

I believe OP was referring to Rennes Dembele. I also have seen Fulham Dembele's name connected to Liverpool but both links are very weak.

The only players that I would strongly link to Liverpool right now are (in alphabetical order) Alario, Chilwell, Dahoud, Gotze and Zielinski.

No one else is coming from anyone reliable. If I forgot someone I'll add it later.

 

[Evilo]

Lots of talks about PSG's targets, as I expected.
Names thrown around : Neymar/Lewandowski (not gonna happen), Reus, Ngolo Kanté (25M€ clause), Lass Diarra (player clause for a free this summer), Ricardo Rodriguez (apparently Digne's clause is expected to be paid by Roma, but they have Kurzawa anyway, so...), Corchia...

 

[YNWA14]

Ousmane Dembele to Liverpool could make sense. They are one of the bigger name teams that would offer him a spot in the starting XI right away, maybe.

For his development I don't think he should go somewhere like Real, Bayern or Barca for that reason (though Coman has had a lot of gametime).

Still I expect money to talk. I don't see Liverpool outbidding the majority of those teams...but you never know.

 

[cgf]

He would get plenty of playing time for Bayern. Especially if the move there included the speculated one year loan-back, before he made the move to Bavaria.

With Coman, Lewandowski, Ribery, Robben, Costa, Muller and potentially Gotze to accommodate amongst potentially other prospects/buys? That's with a new coach coming in I have a hard time seeing him getting 'plenty' of playing time with Bayern in that situation.

In more than a year? Robben and Ribery won't be in Bayern's plans. Gotze will probably be gone.
We're left with Costa, Coman and Muller on the wings.

I believe Bayern would give him some playing time. And would be great for his development.

Unfortunately.

 

[Live in the Now]

One thing I would say, is that if Bayern is really interested in Dembele, that he must be the real deal. When you look at the signings they've made in the last five years it's very difficult to find one that wasn't a great player.

 

[Evilo]

Oh they are interested. Barca too. Those two have already held talks with Rennes.
And he is the real deal. Every big team in the world wants him right now.

The big news right now is that apparently, he might have a 5M€ clause in his contract for french teams only. PSG will be all over that clause. Or should be at least.

 

[les Habs]

If that clause is true then Barça should just pay say Guingamp 25 million and to get him for us.

He's still coming up in the Barça papers.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Realistic PSG team next season....

Di Maria - O.Dembélé - Ben Arfa
Matuidi - Veratti - Motta
Kurzawa - Silva - Luiz - Aurier
Trapp

 

[Evilo]

I'd say :

Ben Arfa-Lukaku-Di Maria
Matuidi-Luiz-Verratti
Kurzawa-Marquinhos-Silva-Aurier
Trapp

No way Dembele starts and he plays wing for now anyway. Motta is as good as gone and I expect Marquinhos to start.
