Transfer: 2023 Summer Transfer Window - Open Window Edition

[Scandale du Jour]

Holy smokes Fati is coming to Brighton. A Barca player is coming on loan to Brighton....this is crazy.

He'll do good, you'll buy him and then sell him for a large profit. This is the Brighton way

Liverpool going for Gravenberch seems a little United-ish for me. Good player with a good skill set and high upside. But they already have players in his best position. Just seems like buying a player to buy them. Just seems like when the team desperately needed to replace Carrick and they bought Mata from Chelsea. Good player, but they already had Rooney and Kagawa(sort of) playing the 10 role.

It's pretty impressive, but I imagine as long as they keep playing the way they are, there will be a number of players who take a look at breaking through or revitalizing their career with that move.

I disagree a bit. Liverpool have tracked him for a bit and have been admirers of the player. They do need a midfielder. They have 2 players who are likely to play most of the matches, but beyond that? Thiago, Jones, and Elliott all have injury history, and likely could not shoulder the full load of matches. Mac Allister is the only player who has played more than 30 matches in the EPL in a season. Well, Elliott played in 32 two years ago, but still had managed minutes. Endo / Szoboszlai both have decent fitness records (though Szoboszlai does have a bit of injury history) and should play a lot, but there are minutes to be found.

Gakpo could play some midfield, but he's not really a midfielder.

For the cost, it's not really a United move. It is a bargain Liverpool move, but they likely see it as a project more than anything. He adds to the depth in their midfield, and if Mac Allister or Szoboszlai need time off, he subs in that position pretty well.

Honestly, if Jones was more fit, I would not be as bothered if they didn't get him. But Jones continues to have fitness concerns.

Unfortunately I think with his name alone it will be too expensive.

Looking forward to seeing him and Mitoma on the pitch together though. Should be a fun year.

Well we know who one of the 7,000 people tracking his flight is.

Well, either Liverpool are dumber than we all fear, or they are getting a defender, as Nat Phillips just went on loan to Celtic for the first half.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Well shit. Cucurella had the clear best upside of all the options. Reguilon just sucks… should just play Alvaro in that case.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

This is scummy shit. Classic circumvention and they’re openly doing it because they know it’s just a nominal fine.

 

[HeHateMeFrisbee]

Injuries really derailed him man. At one point he looked so good...maybe he resurrects his career with UTD but unlikely. Either way, adios.

Bakayoko seems to head to Burnley for 40M + addons.

What do you mean “we”

Thought I saw Brentford?

It is. My mistake. PSV will get an sell on clause as well.

 

[S E P H]

Man United at this point


Scrapping the Bottom of the Barrel FC lol.

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Can't believe me joking about Reguilon to United after Shaw's injury actually happened.

He can make nice plays in the final third on occasion but he sucks at defending and build-up play. At least he's well liked in the dressing room I guess.

Wish Spurs could actually sell some players instead of loaning them. They'll be in the same stupid situation next summer again.

 

[Evilo]

Lyon is trying to sign Rutter from Leeds.
Yes please.
23M is the asking price.

 

[Evilo]

Meanwhile Theate rejected Leipzig.
