Transfer: 2024 Summer Transfer Window - Closed Window Discussion

[Incubajerks]

They let him become bigger than the club. I doubt Perez will allow that.

But, meh, I am naive. I guess we'll see.

Mbappè has always been bigger than the Club.

Dish it, sister.

There’s probably so much grimey shit that goes on behind closed doors at that club.

I am not saying they are innocent, but why do you say that? Mbappe could have left a season sooner to the same destination but for a fee. If I was PSG, I would be livid as they just lost their best player on a free when they could've gotten like 150 million for him easily. I suggest this entire deal signifies more corruption in the hands of Perez the Great since he got a 150+ value player for nothing.

Mbappè has always been bigger than the Club.

Most top athletes have the same thinking, this isn't new to Mbappe.

I get that no player should be than the club and I genuinely believe this but I don't think that it's surprising that Mbappe became bigger than PSG. They lack historical prestige. They're very much nouveau-riche and have that stink on them as opposed to a club like Real/Barca, etc.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

On recent form, he’s not worth 50m.

If they were gonna really splash on a LB, they’d commit to the bit and go for a Theo return.

I agree. I just want to see them get fleeced for once. It's been a while

 

[Evilo]

Real and Barca don't have "stink" on them?

Wow, news to me.

Re-read my post. I'm being very specific about what kind of stink.

 

[Peen]

I have no issue moving on from Chalobah. I have an issue if they’re buying another Disasi to replace him.

But man, you have to keep Gallagher. I think he is what he is as a player but you need stability and what he brings on a personal level in your 18. And, I doubt his wage demands are significant.

Guess it’ll be one of Sesko, Duran, or Ferguson competing with Jackson for the #9 role.

Olise, Eze, or Summerville in a new winger spot. Hopefully we move on from Madueke & Sterling.

Yikes at the Sanchez return to the starting role.

Need a first choice CB. A very good one.

And a LB to replace Cucurella (who’s never been good) OR Chilwell (who’s been bad & unfit) for two years now.

oh hello here

Even more credible sources:

Wonder if this / Durán swap happens before June 30?

I was told Sternberg isn’t credible for Chelsea because he cussed them out a couple of decades ago

as *not* the person who referenced that old Steinberg tweet, i'll say that he's mid-tier for chelsea. the guys at the athletic (simon johnson, liam twomey) are gonna be better bets, ornstein is in general value on transfer talk, and matt law at the telegraph remains also a very reliable one.

but the guardian is far from a tabloid, and even when their sports journalism isn't to the same editorial verification as their wider stuff, they're not hacks. they are, however, aggregators. steinberg is just parroting the athletic here

 

[Peen]

through one ear out the other

 

[Blender]

oh hello here

Ridiculous for Chelsea, no-brainer for Villa.

 

[Blender]

I still don't think he wants to leave, he wants a new contract with the club and that has been the reports for a long time. The guy was walking around the field with his dad, also a huge Chelsea fan, at the end of the last game of the season.

The club may try and force him out, which is f***ing insane.

Real Madrid or Manchester United, really a hard choice

Real Madrid or Manchester United, really a hard choice

With United's CB situation, definitely more playing time guaranteed.

 

[Chimaera]

If he's good enough, he can play for whomever. He seems to be good enough.

Additionally, how many French players are in that United side? Do they even have a manager?

It's not really a choice at all.

 

[Gecklund]

Real Madrid or Manchester United, really a hard choice

You’re right. Manchester United is the clear choice.

Sell Roque and Lewa buy Alvarez.

 

[Savant]

The rats are leaving the sinking ship

 

[Chimaera]

I mean, if they are actually getting sanctioned, there will be a bunch of players fleeing. Agents will know it's coming before any of us.


As for the Chelsea bit... man. Selling Gallagher is beyond stupid. They're going to do it. I just don't get the constant churn. Let some players figure it out. You invested so much in young guys, getting more players doesn't solve much of anything.

 

[maclean]

I mean, sure, but like, "wait for me"? Have some self respect

 

[Power Man]

In Julian's case It's more likely for more playing time

 

[Vasilevskiy]

https://x.com/i/web/status/1798246826459779137

agreed. Pounce now that there's a chance

I'm guessing if/when Gallagher gets sold it's because they literally don't have a financial choice but to do it.
