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

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I think RLC is the type of player would have florished with another premier league team. He has all the physical attributes and technical attributes to be a very good player too bad he re-signed with Chelsea back then to become a bench warmer.

Eh, that theory is hurt by just how terrible he was at Fulham in 2020-21. Obviously it's complicated by it having been his return after missing a full season from the Achilles problem, but he was absolutely f***ing dire at Craven Cottage.

The far bigger "what if" with RLC is what if his Achilles hadn't popped in Spring 2019.

onions up in here

Watch him kill it for the likes of Fulham next year.

He's been perpetually injured as well though.

Just in case anyone still thinks that pro athletes aren't obsessed with silly internet stuff...highly rated 21yo swiss AM, Fabian Rieder, mentioned in an interview how proud he was to see his valuation on transfermarkt rise to 12M.

 

[koyvoo]

I have to say. Panthers got jobbed.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Kicker reporting that Leverkusen has good chances of landing Xhaka as Arsenal will reportedly accept 15M for him.

Nothing about that in Germany, but Davies agent has said that "certain clubs" are interested in the canadian...with City & Real being rumored...and Bayern's board are said to be enamored with Rice as they look for a 6 to free Kimmich up more.

If they're selling Mane, Gnabry, Davies, etc., that could open a lot of funds...but that rumored Rice figure is crazy.

1) If Arsenal get muscled out on Rice, I'd obviously rather it was to Bayern than another EPL team

2) That price tag is indeed daunting and if it's another Mudryk situation of missing out on the 100 mil player then getting somewhat better for less, I will obviously take it

Davies at Real? Yes please.

 

[cgf]

Kicker is reporting that Augsburg has won the race for Tim Breithaupt. Shame, I like him.

 

[Tony Romo]

Davies at Real? Yes please.

please god.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

please god.

The hype died down... which is a good thing. He's a good young player but incredibly overrated on here.

Have you seen what we've been trotting out at LB/RB this year?? Our best fullback is a midfielder!

Well, you are on a hockey website full of Canadians, of course the best Canadian player of all time will be overhyped hehe.

He regressed a bit this year, but I would still love to have him at Real Madrid.

 

[Tony Romo]

There also isn't a lot of elite full backs just casually available on the market. Davies is probably Madrid's best bet at getting one.

I have no idea what's happening with Hakimi's trial, maybe him? but I could see him staying at PSG for a while.

I am very "meh" on Hakimi.

That being said, he is BFF with Mbappé, so that could help us land the big fish in 2024.

 

[Jack Straw]

Not sure how to feel about that. Leverkusen is my Bundesliga team and while he can be pretty good at times he can also be... well, kind of an idiot. Might be hard to root for him.

 

[cgf]

FCA won't be signing Rafal Gikiewicz to a new deal. He's old, but he's still really good.

 

[robertmac43]

Not sure how to feel about that. Leverkusen is my Bundeliga team and while he can be pretty good at times he can also be... well, kind of an idiot. Might be hard to root for him.

He has been really good relatively consistent the past year and a bit. Also less idiot moves form him in that time.

I'm happy he is moving on his own terms and not being forced out with animosity.

 

[cgf]

Even when he was younger, the hotheadedness was part of what made Xhaka effective despite moving like my grandfather...who is admittedly spry for a 90yo...so you just sorta deal with the moments where he goes overboard & does something monumentally stupid.

 

[luiginb]

As a Serbiophile I've always had a grudging respect for Xhaka and the way he plays. Heart on his sleeve player.

 

[Power Man]

lol

 

[les Habs]

Davies will be coming to Barca in the Summer of 2024. Balde needs a backup.

It would be a huge achievement for any Canadian to reach that level. That's why.

 

[Power Man]

but Davies agent has said that "certain clubs" are interested in the canadian...with City & Real being rumored...

City and Real being rumored sounds like fan fiction; 2 big clubs that need a real LB. especially Real since Ake has done a good job this season as a LB but that could change next season..
Too easy
