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

I was gonna say, you could get away with that with Iniesta. Granted you could use him as a ball playing CB and he’d still probably be good there.

Spanish-Wirtz really was something

The only problem with that train of thought is Laimer sucks and is nowhere near starter quality for a team like Bayern.

We're going to have to disagree on that one, as I've been lamenting that Laimer isn't one of ours for years

Who knows if he'll need time to adapt to life at Bayern, like Sabitzer did, but once he does I think he'll be a great balancing-agent for them...whether deployed next to Kimmich & Musiala, or replacing Pavard as their best defensive alternative to Mazraoui.

Two years ago I'd have agreed with you, but he looks worse and worse every time I see him.

Have you mostly caught him for their NT or Leipzig? I feel like he's been much more up-&-down for country than he has been for club, lately. So if you've caught him a lot with the NT, I get that.

But for club, he's still excellent more often than not...and with his competitiveness, I think a challenge like Bayern will bring the best out of him.

Iniesta was just so so so special.

My friends dont answer my DMs on IG....

Honestly I was Scaloni i'd ban any transfer to Spurs. The trouble start with Coco. I blame Poch though.

Players that go out and give ultimatums are walking red flags imo

Then every footballer who has made it to a professional contract should be red-flagged.

My footballers don't have their ultimatums leaked to the press. No offense @Duchene2MacKinnon

That doesn't mean they didn't give their clubs ultimatums.

Right. They leak them themselves

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

What ever the issue was it was with Conte, since he’s gone there’s no ultimatum… cuti is dumb tho he issue should be that he’s too good for spurs not Conte.

I hope that when the rumors connecting him to Chelsea were coming out of england, Flick told Kai & Timo to call Mouki and share their experiences

Not an ultimatum. Just an unsettled young player who wants to support the long term health of the club by being sold for a record fee

More coaches should do this tbh.

Imagine the conversation would have went something like "hey come get this bag from Chelsea, they'll give anyone with good potential on FIFA massive wages. You can just leave in 2 years once they buy your replacement and go back to being happy."

I was just joking, but NT actually advise players on their career decisions pretty often.

I mean, it's not like Mouki has to worry about getting his bag wherever he had chosen to play

What Moukoko had to worry about was not wasting these next few years that are so imperative to his development.

And sure he would've been Chelsea's best striker for the rest of this season, but would you trust them not to buy a vet to block him this summer?

Sorry mate your club is a mickey mouse team...its a stepping stone to a bigger move. No one serious about winning should go there.

Id force them lol didnt the dutch coach do this?

DD told Mbappe to sign with Madrid.
Didn't turn out to be.
