Transfer: 2023 Summer Transfer Rumors and Discussion - Closed Window Edition

[S E P H]

There's plenty of competition for rotations. Each will get nearly 75% starts. I personally don't see an issue.
Arsenal should poach someone less known who has potential.

Arsenal were rumoured and linked with Camavinga before he went to Real. He's the furthest back on the depth chart and might realise that his joining someone like Perez the Great might halt his development. I don't have a problem if Real only wants him to be loaned out or if it has a buy-back clause. He will see that London and the Gunners are superior in every way and he'll pull an Odegaard 2.0.

Ornstein tweeted about a possible Messi move to Miami back in October

Damn

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

This Messi interview is telling.

He clearly still doesn’t trust Laporta

 

[Savant]

He’s been saying this for three years but there’s never been a dance partner

Barca now

I think he's over the drama. The line in there about his family also says to me they didn't want to go to Saudi Arabia.

Barca now

I’m not going to make a lever joke. But I am wondering if that is realistic

Fab did say United was monitoring France for backup options in defense to KMJ.

Whats a decent report on him?

He's big.
That's about it. Not at all a CB I'd invest in. I have no idea why DD selected him either.

 

[Live in the Now]

It will be funny the first time some random Honduras guy tackles the crap out of Messi and shows him no respect. They need Suarez to be the enforcer

 

[Evilo]

Nope he has hinted many times over the last few weeks that he'd like to join PSG either directly or not.

I can't blame him tbh

Interesting. My guess is that Maguire and Lindelof are both leaving so maybe they want him as 4th choice? Not sure. Guess that would be price dependent though.

We youngin'

So, does that Bellingham deal and Brahim Diaz returning mean Real Madrid are already giving up on Reinier Jesus (21, was on loan at Girona)?

You can't compare Odegaard's trajectory as a Real player to that of Camavinga.
Camavinga actually gets starts compared to Martin who was never really given a shot because at the time Real had one of the best midfields

Not necessarily

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Anyway I think it's wishful thinking.
There are far better (more realistic) targets out there for Arsenal to strengthen their midfield.
I like Zubeldia, Sangare, Ricci

Arent we all?

Yeah, I mean it makes sense... I'd rather be in Miami too. (although a billion would be nice too) What's telling is that barca couldnt guarantee him registration even by August 31st. Pretty crazy and shows why he doesnt want to drag it out.

He's more mobile than Maguire, but not as good in the air. A bit better with his feet. Frankly, he's an average CB to me.

Interesting. If he came cheap maybe it’d make sense if he was 4th choice behind Martinez/Varane/new guy but I imagine he’ll cost more than that would be worth. Well hope he’s not coming here then lol.

Is Kim Min Jae excempt from military duty for Korea / already completed it? If not, when he is planning to do it, could mess his pre-season/season somewhat.

DD is obsessed with big defenders

 

[Ben Grimm]

Since I have Apple+ tv, Messi's decision is a good one.

What a selfish jerk... could've taken that money and cured world hunger. Or just transferred it to my account.
