Summer 2016 Transfer Rumour Thread

[chef]

Don't know if that's a great move. Loves a drink and going out. And has had a serious knee injury.

I agree. Great player, but to much baggage.

Can't see him moving after one season or Carlo wanting to get rid if him.

Outs (probable): Mignolet, Enrique, Toure, Teixeira, Balotelli
Outs (possible): Skrtel, Benteke

Ins (confirmed): Matip, Grujic, Markovic (return from loan)

Ins (rumoured):
Sounds like Gotze will be our #1 attacking target, rumoured to be putting together a £35m+ offer for him which puts all bar 6 or 7 clubs out of the market for him. It's an interesting one, he's obviously very high profile but he's not had a great 12 months so odds are not many of those top clubs will be chomping at the bit to sign him, and City are out of the picture for obvious reasons.

Personally I find it hard to believe he would leave Bayern in the first place, but he's been very much on the periphery this season and reports over the last few months have been pretty persistent that he isn't going to sign a new contract and is open to a move elsewhere (namely England). Plenty of water to go under the bridge between now and June but it'll be interesting to see how Klopp goes pursuing his first big target in the transfer market.

On top of that, I'd expect us to look for a goalkeeper to replace Mignolet, and possibly another midfielder. Xhaka's name has popped up, fantastic player but a) Arsenal seem to be his most likely destination at this stage and b) given his likely price I think we could probably get better value elsewhere.

Be nice to get Markovic back. The age old, he will be like a new signing!

He hasn't done much in Turkey.

 

[jod23]

He hasn't done much in Turkey.

Not really no. He's been ok but he was coming along quite well with us, no idea why BR wanted to loan him out. I'll be glad to see him return, see what Klopp can do with him.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Vidal to Chelsea. His been reported as saying something to the effect of I go to war with Conte.

Please be true.

Unless Ancelotti doesn't want him not gonna happen

 

[Milanista28]

Alcantara will follow pep again I think.

 

[Milanista28]

Bacca will be sold this summer as well, Bayern look interested as Ancelotti wanted him for Madrid had he stayed, So he rates him.

 

[Zidane98]

Surely Xabi is more likely to leave than Vidal.

 

[chef]

Watford want to buy Ake, but he'd prefer to stay at Chelsea.

He should be our starting LB next season.

We definately need a right winger (Mahrez/Sane/Dembele), CB (Laporte/ Koulibaly) and a striker (Ibra, Icardi) in the summer. Probable outs are Fellaini, Rooney, Mata and Jones.

Mou loves Rooney so he'll definitely hang onto him. Could see Fellaini being to his taste too.

Fellaini could play the Mikel role for Mou at United.

Will probably play him as a number 10
