2025 Summer Transfer Rumors and Discussion Closed Window

[Bringer of Jollity]

He's been Bayern s second best defender this year, I wonder who they're getting

Likely Tah, but if they are also selling Kim they'll need someone else, unless cgf's dream of CBretzka is the plan.

Dier to Monaco.
Out of nowhere.

Portugal to England to Germany to France.

Spain to close out the career? Turkey? Saudi?

Today I learned that Eric Dier grew up in Portugal, has citizenship there, and could have played for their NT. Thought he was as British as they come.

This. Can’t see a more reasonable rumor than Tah.

I never knew either until he did his Overlap interview and talked about his time with Sporting.

Pavlovic doesn't seem to need much help with getting broken though. Bischof will be a nice add. I am curious to see what they do with the 10, as I suspect Wirtz will follow Xabi to Madrid. They had interest in Simons previously, but not sure who else. Musiala obviously is there but I think he's a lot more effective attacking off that left side, then Olise off the right.

Will Bischof play beside Pavlovic in the 4-2-3-1? Or is he better off higher up? I’ve seen him deployed in a number of different roles with Hoffenheim

Today I learned that Eric Dier grew up in Portugal, has citizenship there, and could have played for their NT. Thought he was as British as they come.

When he signed for Spurs, the discourse was that they were getting a “cultured continental player”. He played just as much DM and RB as he did CB at Sporting, and his ball-playing was really highlighted as his main asset.

Scored a very good goal off a great run from RB on his Spurs debut.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Thought Tah was all but confirmed to Barça

I don't think he's signing here, if nobody leaves in the summer he'd be fourth choice for center back.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

 

[cgf]

Terrible choice.

It's far from official, but what would be bad about developing chemistry with Musiala & co. on a week-to-week basis? We already know that Flo & Jamal work beautifully together, without getting in each other's way. And with Olise & Kane, that could be the best front 4 in club football.

I guess it depends on which Tah you're getting, the one from the past couple of seasons who has finally cut the misreads & lazy errors out of his game, or the one he had been before Alonso...but 4th choice? I don't watch you that much, so am genuinely asking about your CB situation.

...because I thought Araujo hadn't exactly been amazing for you lately, and have no idea who the third CB you're alluding to is. So was under the impression that Tah was being offered a real shot at the starting job next to Cubarsi by flick.

Wirtz has taken a step back this year.
He needs to play in a better league and on a better team. Under a better coach.

Wirtz has taken a step back this year.
He needs to play in a better league and on a better team. Under a better coach.

He got banged up briefly, but when fully fit he's looked every bit as good and his raw #s are very close to last season's.

Last season he had 11+12 in 32 BuLi games (2384 minutes); 103 min/scorer, 216 min/goal.
As well as 4+4 in 705 EL minutes; 88 min/scorer, 176 min/goal

This season Flo has 9+11 in 28 BuLi games (2086 minutes); 104 min/scorer, 231 min/goal.
As well as 6+1 in 766 CL minutes; 109 min/scorer, 127 min/goal

I wouldn't have any qualms about Pep getting his hands on Flo, but I don't mind him not playing in the EPL. The last thing we need is for some idiot to break his leg in a world cup year just because he moved to a league that doesn't believe in hiring competent refs.

Our central defense depth right now is Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Araujo, Eric Garcia, Christiansen with Kounde being able to also play in center back. I don't see Tah displacing any of those first three.

Whenever it was that I tried watching you with some regularity...forget if that was last season, or the year before, having recently had a daughter does not help with my sense of time ...Martinez seemed like he was very much in the Garcia / Christiansen tier of pure backups at a club of your size, a tier that Tah is now much, much, better than. Has he leveled up unexpectedly, is it a chemistry with Cubarsi thing, or did I just not get a good read on him?

Cause I figured it was Araujo that Tah would need to beat if he wanted to start for Flick...and if Araujo is not playing his best football, this version of Tah could very much take PT from him; the way he's taken it from Schlotterbeck on the NT. I have my questions about whether this Tah is the one that his next club will get, but I also buy that things could have finally clicked for him and as long as he doesn't join a s***show, once he gels with his new club, he'll be just as good as he has been under Xabi.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Flick isn’t splitting Martinez/cubarsi

Tah would have to fight with Aurajo and possibly Christensen if he ever recovers

 

[cgf]

Ugh I'm sorry. I know you had high hopes for M'ToonTown *hug*

 

[luiginb]

Inigo is I'd say vital for our team right now, I wanted him for Barcelona for ages

Haven’t seen this anywhere, and Coman (rightfully or wrongfully) doesn’t really fit LFC. Don’t think they’d try and do the Chiesa experiment again

Romano linked them to Morgan Rogers today. Usually Romano is lousy with LFC, but that’s a new name

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Meh it’s early days. It’s not the best move for him but I think he ends up elsewhere
