Transfer: Summer Transfer Rumors and Discussion Part VI

[spintheblackcircle]

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Agent of a few Inter players and their manager. By all accounts the Bastoni dream is dead.

 

[robertmac43]

Just wondering if I'm missing something better, but that is pretty good.

It's not as good for in-the-moment news, but I always recommend the Athletic. Well worth the subscription IMO.

....that's what I hear as well. Bastoni is a person they will go after hard next summer from those same reports.

....but it beats FDJ news that he is a Taco Bell in Manchester.

 

[Evilo]

He will take 500,000 more than he took in salary in Lyon, and he arrives in a more competitive and important championship, difficult to blame him.

Nope half the proposal he had, and in a league where Lukaku can score blind folded and on a team with zero competitiveness.
He made a terrible career choice and it'll serve him right.

 

[Corto]

That's a great signing. Lazovic was amazing for Verona.

[les Habs]

Right. And more power to them. What they do is what they do. If it works out, it works out. I’m not the only person who doesn’t understand it but I don’t need to.

No you don't need to understand it. Apparently you just need to comment on it every day despite not understanding it. Makes sense.

It's ok, this guy doesn't understand either...

Saw that yesterday. Someone should point out Bayern's debt to him and then see if his understanding improves. That said he'd probably do better focusing on Bayern improving this season, though being butthurt about Lewandowski dumping you might not be easy to get over.

Reading that reminded me of the guy who rang my doorbell this past weekend. He asked me who I voted for, if I knew that my vote wasn't counted, if I knew the election was rigged, etc, etc. Must have been Nagelsmann.

Adding to the problem we're rebuilding the stadium so we're gonna play in the ancient, smaller Montjuic stadium for the foreseeable future.

Yeah, that won't help, but it'll likely be for what, two seasons at most?

Smart by PSG if he's not expensive.

Who exactly is Craig Hope? We won't buy him. Maybe on a Bosman. Anyway, I'll make a friendly wager if you like.



I'd definitely take Saliba over Kounde, but I fear if we miss out on Kounde they'll get a worse option even though I'm not overly sold on overspending on Kounde.

 

[bluesfan94]

I would be very pleased with this.

 

[VEGASKING]

Brilliant keep him in the EPL and torpedo that team. Seriously though if they're going to loan him out it needs to be somewhere he will play a lot. Even bad EPL teams won't play him if they're worrying about relegation. Maybe he will never rise above Andre Santos level defensively but it's worth a shot.

 

[JPBolts]

he's with Daily Mail, focusing on Newcastle, who have been linked with Carney.
Again, I just find it surprising that the English media have been just purely focusing on a Barca link, where you say there hasn't been any links from your end. that's it

 

[The Abusement Park]

Need to see what he orders before I can accept him as a United player

 

[cgf]

Not gunna lie...the way certain barca fans have gone all "arsenal fan" over the past two years has been quite amusing

There have been few and the one today I saw was for about 25% of the what Villa's apparent asking price is. Point is they won't dump over 20 million on him.

Baku to Leipzig as a result of the Mukiele sale would be wonderful.

Freiburg are being connected to Inter's Lucien Agoume.

Mbabu's leaving Wolfsburg for Fulham.

 

[Savant]

Not sure why people are so sensitive about it. I don’t think I’m commenting every day, but with the frequency that Barca have signed players/and are having new players linked it’s certainly topical. Not even an insult just saying it’s happening and yes there is some general confusion. I can’t stand soliciting either though.

Saliba over Kounde = yes

Baku to Leipzig as a result of the Mukiele sale would be wonderful.

Downgrade at CB. Upgrade at RWB

 

[cgf]

Downgrade at CB. Upgrade at RWB

Pretty much.

Also an upgrade for the NT because Baku won't be wasting so much time playing winger instead of wingback.

 

[luiginb]

Saliba over Kounde = yes

I don't get the Saliba over Kounde POV, except height-wise where Barcelona is already suffering. Kounde is already more than proven in La Liga (which is still better than Ligue 1).

There's nothing Kounde can do that Saliba can't. And there are plenty of things Saliba can do that Kounde can't.
I would easily take Saliba too.



Sekou Mara from Bordeaux to Southampton for 11+2M€
Not a huge price but understandable given the circumstances. A bit intrigued to see how he develops and Southampton is one of the only decent developping EPL teams. Still he moves too young.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

A lot of italian journalists are linking Spurs to Zaniolo. No credible club journalist has really picked up on it yet. I'm not a big fan at least. If we are getting an attacker we need somebody more creative.

They better be, I'll never forgive them if they ruin ABK

 

[Evilo]

Tagliafico to OL finally done. 4M€.

 

[Evilo]

Inter owner has a PSG bag. Either he shops for his closet childhood team, or some transactions are going on. Hilarious either way
