Summer 2016 Transfer Rumour Thread

[pantskyle]

United have bid 55m euros for Griezmann.

4 major signings expected. Bailly and Zlatan are pretty much done. Just a RW and CM to go. A few youth signings expected too.

Chelsea are 'very close' to signing Brahim.

55m euros is way unders, probably worth 50-60m pounds. Where did you read that?

one of gazetta's journos on twitter

 

[jd2010]

Aubameyang -> Man City
Griezmann -> Man Utd
Vardy -> Arsenal

We win.

You win?

Even with all that going on we aren't signing Batsuyahi or Lacazette but Vincent Jansen instead

I've heard we're still after both batshuayi and janssen. Reports suggest bats wants to join us out of the clubs following him and that we've made a 12m bid fo janssen

Was sarcasm

No it wasn't.

 

[FAITH]

tough job for pep, doing it the hard way.

city may as well get a supporter and pay the m 10p to be their manager.

 

[chef]

No it wasn't.

Ok.

You'd take Vardy over Griezmann and PEA?

 

[elhadjihenry]

Zlatan deal being held up due to 8 digit loyalty bonus he'll receive from PSG in July.

I would take an astronomical price for Aubameyang to be honest. Its young talent time at BVB after this window, another €60m and we can sign a really good forward, even play Goetze as a false 9 - but with that in the kitty, nobody is really off limits. Everyone goes on about BVB being a selling club, but Atletico have managed to lose many stars and still be super competitive. My only worry is losing Tuchel to be fair, I think he is the most irreplaceable in the team. Hopefully this young talent keeps him here for another 5-6 years

We'll only sign one. And i cant help but feel underwhelmed if its Janssen

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Classic Zlatan, keeps everyone guessing whilst getting extra exposure for his clothing line. Cheeky sod.

Yep, did lol as I expected it. He is loving all the attention and speculation.

 

[Zidane98]

How the hell is Zlatan due a loyalty bonus in July when his contract expires in June?

He is due it if he runs down his contract which ends June 30, bonus owed July 1.

 

[Zidane98]

Surely only paid if he signs a new contract. Perhaps he's asking Utd to match what PSG are offering him to sign a new contract.

Do you not know what a loyalty bonus is? It's payable to him if he completes his contract, it's pretty basic stuff.

I couldn't see both joining, how would they both get regular game time if they'd be backups to Kane?

 

[Doctor Bojan_]

Dragovic to Leverkusen is just about done for €15m.

Everton are in for Neto, a keeper.

Strikers from the Dutch League have been pretty hit and miss.

Thinking of Bony and Van Wolfswinkel specifically.

Bony was good at Swansea, just didn't get much game time at City.

replace Bony with Kezman

 

[SM]

Bony was good at Swansea, just didn't get much game time at City.

I think he's using them as a contrast. Bony = good; Van Wolf = bad.

That makes more sense.
