Transfer: 2025 Winter Transfer Window - Rumors and Discussion

[koyvoo]

As a Ronaldinho supporter in this debate, one thing I give Neymar the edge in is off field professionalism in terms of training etc, but in the game I still feel that Ronaldinho had more of a competitive edge as well, despite the smile.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Nah, a little more like a poor man's Mario?
Someone with uber talent who could dominate at times, but who's health killed a good portion of his career.
Or maybe Lindros?

Lindros is a great comparable. Perhaps the two athletes I dislike the most

Not sure why anyone would dislike Neymar. He won me over very fun to watch and a good teammate. Just likes partying

Lindros isn’t a what if?

What?

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

What?

I mean being a madridista and hating life go hand in hand. But as a player he’s fun to watch isn’t mechanical. He’s very easy to admire especially if one would look at his career in the past tense



There’s really no spot for him here. But I guess it’s good to keep tabs

He is also very easy to dislike. But, at least, he is a great brother to his sister.

Lmaooo ouch



Garnacho edges closer to a move away from old Trafford. Will be interesting to see how the perception on him changes

Bure I think is the clearest comparison, although I have Neymar far higher on an all-time football list than I have Bure on a hockey one. I don't hate the Lindros comp, although Lindros is far more a 'what if' to me than Neymar.

As long as it's not to Chelsea...

Garnacho has all the makings of a Conte superstar, so the move would make sense. Seems a silly way to spend the Kvara money, though.

The Real Madrid of bundesliga getting top talent on the free.

F*** Bayern but they’re not that gross

I mean when is the last time Real Madrid signed a guy direct from Barca or Atletico?

It happens though Dortmund tends to be a more egregious offender with this behavior (and they're timing sucks more, e.g. Modeste and Füllkrug were too late in the window for those teams to find replacements).

San Diego get their local guy:

Would prefer to play in England? Like we've all said, low IQ player

He means he prefers a bigger pay check

Missing from the tweet, via RedCafe:

One last important bit: a new striker can only come in if United can free up/gain a lot of money either via an expensive homegrown player sale (Garnacho/Mainoo) or by letting one of their high-wage players leave (Rashford). No new signings are guaranteed even if United have a major departure or two.

 

[Jussi]

The original source is apparently only Tier 4.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

He gone it’s either Chelsea or Napoli. Chelsea’s offer is imminent
