Transfer: 2024 Summer Transfer Window - Open Window Discussion

[Paulie Gualtieri]

My other hot take is if Tottenham are trying to dump Richarlison I’d take him for cover too, but certainly not at the price tag they’d want

This is wild considering everything you've said about him lol.

This is wild considering everything you've said about him lol.

I don’t think he’s great but what better options are out there right now? That might be available? I can be pragmatic.

We’ve seen the story before at LFC if Diogo gets injured and Darwin gets cold. They have no one else that can play up top and the one thing from Slot preseason is that if they don’t have an outlet up front they are going to be screwed. And he can cover multiple spots theoretically

But if you want to tell me that you were wrong that he’d be okay not being guaranteed starter minutes and wouldn’t cause problems if he wasn’t getting a ton of burn then you can say that and I’m happy to retract. But again that’s why it’s a hot take I guess. Just not sure who else is available. Maybe they can get Divock Origi back

 

[Chimaera]

I don’t think they’d sell him without some belief that a kid can do a job or something else can work in house

Chelsea are New York Rangers in the dead puck era

Hey, now.....NYR weren't that bad. Chelsea is next level.

Not sure how I feel about this one. Just so long as he’s developed well enough. That said, it sounds like the kid has a bit of an attitude.

That may be cooling as Kabar, Brunner, and Campbell have apparently impressed Sahin since they got back from their Asia trip.

Kabar has already put an end to their pursuit of a new LB and the two young wingers may make the senior team.

Although the Belgian league wouldn’t be a bad next step for Brunner if he takes it seriously.

Berger and Romano offer conflicting reports on Brunner to Monaco deal

Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports that the deal to send Borussia Dortmund attacking prospect Paris Brunner to AS Monaco has been finalized. Sky Germany's Patrick Berger, however, contravenes Romano and insists that no agreement has been reached yet. Westphalia's "Ruhr Nachrichten"...

Although Romano may have jumped the gun, things do seem to be moving forward with Brunner's move to Monaco-&-loan-to-Brugge.

BVB: DAS fordert Hoffenheim wirklich für Maxi Beier

Füllkrug weg! Beier bald da? Der Ablöse-Poker mit Hoffenheim ist entbrannt

With Brunner & Mouki looking set to leave, Beier and BVB are reportedly agreed to terms...though Hoffenheim & Dortmund still have a significant gap to bridge.

BVB have reportedly bid 25M; not wanting to spend more than the 27M they got for Füllkrug. While TSG is demanding 35M up front, with up to 15M more in bonuses.

Rolfes hält Tür für Tah-Verkauf offen

Auch wenn die Frist, die Bayer 04 dem FC Bayern München für einen Kauf von Jonathan Tah gesetzt hat, verstrichen ist, schließt Leverkusens Geschäftsführer Simon Rolfes einen Transfer des Abwehrchefs zum Rekordmeister nicht aus.

www.kicker.de

Looks like Bayern's bid for Tah has failed, but Rolfes leaves the door open for an offer that they just can't say no too...aka an EPL bid...

19 yo left footed center back Mawissa moves from Toulouse to Monaco for 16 mil. I'm a fan of this move. He's short for a center back but incredibly technically gifted for someone playing in that position. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets reconverted to fullback though.

Apparently still working out the details of United's payment to him.

Monaco signing Broja?

 

[Peen]

Monaco signing Broja?

Does Monaco play on the counter? Broja was the fastest player at Chelsea prior to his injury and is best on a team that isn’t trying to possess the ball and tap in the six yard box.

Was very bad last year but there was obvious upward trajectory pre-injury.

 

[Savant]

Plettenberg (toss a coin) is saying Stuttgart

Both. Monaco can play quick transition as well as play possession.
