Transfer: 2024 Summer Transfer Window - Open Window Discussion

Yes, he's a dumbass but officially a journalist.

I concur

Djellit is a certified clown- I mean he is on l’Equipe du Soir so …. although I’ve always like Didier Roustan, idk why

Djellit is super biased too when it comes algerian football lol

He looks like a fat Zyiech btw

RMC Sport while not great is not as bad, despite having Daniel Rigolo, the french Skip Bayless

A ton of rumours in the last couple of weeks about Arsenal going after Mikel Merino.

Arsenal going after Ander Barrenetxea as well.

the spam posts about him possibly wanting to join and United kinda in it are so tiresome.

There's only really one person here who cares. We've seen it before with a certain midfielder.

He should have been thread-banned from that sort of spam last time around.

 

[Savant]

Here’s a funny one



Can’t go to one CFG club so goes to another. Probably so City can do a dodge like they did with Savio. File this one away

 

[luiginb]

Wasn't Merino already once at Arsenal?

Also not sure if it was mentioned here before but Flynn Downes to Southampton for almost 22 mil... that English tax doing a lot of heavy lifting for that price, holy shit. Below average player with the ball, good defensively though.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

And I just learned about Carvajal’s backward political views

God dammit

Never meet your idols

nope, he was at newcastle. played a season there when he was 21. but newcastle were very bad, and he was a rotation guy.

I'd go for him anyway and sell Lindelöf.

Rumors of Enzo's future at Chelsea in doubt after a disappointing year and the racist chants against the French players.

What a nice kid. And what a bunch of nice guys, who could've known.

I'm sure nothing will happen, but it'll be hilarious to listen to news from their training camp considering Chelsea had 7 or 8 black French players.

Didn't Argentina team do the same chant after the WC 2022 win too. That didn't prevent Chelsea from buying him a couple of months later.

Maybe now it matters with some new players, staff and club personnel. Can Chelsea afford the FFP hit, though, if they try to get rid of him at a huge loss.

I'd they can afford, they really need both. Though De Ligt is IMO not a smart idea.

More like it was profoundly stupid and racist then but they had just beaten France.
What the F is their problem to sign it now?

Dare I ask? PM me since political talk isn't allowed.

From what I've gathered, they'd need to sell Lindelöf (because no one's buying Maguire) to buy both. I don't know if it's because they plan on doing more business in the window or why, but Zirkzee payment was already in multiple installments and Yoro would be as well.

Todd Boehly must have quite a frustrating time at Chelsea.

God dammit

It's something that is sadly very prevalent in Spanish speaking countries.

There is a zero percent chance that he gives a shit as long as it’s generating revenue

Mainz signs Kaishū Sano from Japan, quite literally immediately arrested for sexual assault. Good job.

Mbappé speaking better Spanish before playing a single game than Gareth Bale in a decade in Madrid.

If teams allow Barca to waltz to Nico I will be mega pissed. There should be a bidding war in the worst case possible to drive up the price even if he has a release clause.

 

[Evilo]

BTW the reason why PSG has withdrawn their interest in Cherki is that his agent is Mbappe's mum.

As I’ve said all Summer, and this is despite my wanting Barca to sign him, I think Nico is staying with Athletic Club.

Why would Nico want to go anywhere else

I don't know, Romano is even reporting that Barca is preparing a bid. That doesn't mean they will get him, but the first step in any transaction is making a bid and demonstrates a desire for the player.

Why would Nico want to go anywhere else

I am not saying he would join others, but I don't understand how more teams are not in on him. His release clause I think is 58 million Euros and after the Euros he just had, he should be going for at least 90 million...except if this is the type of release clause where if four teams activate it, then Nico would decide where to go. It seems to me that Barca is getting a free walk to him without much interference whatsoever. Hell, Rice got sabotage bids by Man City and I think Chelsea before joining the Arsenal.
