Summer 2016 Transfer Rumour Thread

[wadistance]

So Gündogan has done his knee and is out for 5 months. MCFC cooling on him, Dortmund won't offer another 1 year contract

The suspense...

 

[Magma]

It went to Firmino who is a better player than Sterling.

at the start of 2016 that was hugely debatable. across all comps they still have the same amount of goals. you'd hope firmino was better with 2 years more development at senior level in him.

9 assists to 4 though as well.

sterling has 10 assists.

it's 11 goals 10 assists in 2981 mins (sterling) to 11 goals 11 assists in 3167 mins (firmino). so basically dead even.

Anyone who's watched both will attest Firmino has been superior this season. He's scored goals when it counts and made the difference. I'm struggling to remember a game where Raheem the dream was "the difference" apart from when Federici gifted him a hat-trick.

scored the first against sevilla away, scored twice to make it 2-2 and 3-2 against gladbach (also assisted the first), first against watford, first against sunderland.

Firmino goals against City x 2 matches, Arsenal, United. 2 assists (3 really) in the EL semi final. Stats don't tell the whole story. IMO Firmino has made more of an impact on his team this season and at this stage is a better footballer.

shock horror

 

[Zidane98]

shock horror

are you describing man city's season

 

[Magma]

no just the lack of surprise at sterling being given any credit for this season.

sterling clearly was better for the first half of the season, firmino better in the 2nd half. even.

well yeah. firmino did spend a month out injured in the first half of the season.

Sun Sports saying Arsenal is chasing Rob Holding from Bolton.

Firminho is a donkey compared to Sterling.

You take selfies and then photoshop a fake moustache and baseball cap on them for comedic effect, your opinion is wasted on me.

Did lol.

This. Sterling started well then fell off a cliff. Firm started poorly and slowly but surely got way better and has had a cracking 2016.

Considering he was coming to a foreign league though, that's understandable.

I think Sterling is a great player, but I have no regrets selling him because we brought in Firmino as a replacement who is every bit as good. So it's all gravy.

Seville away is the benchmark for him. In fact champions league was his best performances. If he can put in those sort of performancrs on a consistent basis we've got a bargain.

I see you're still persisting in this "Federici gifted him a hattrick" fantasy

This needs to happen.

The Brentwood Gazette mentioned us a while back for $26M, but the former Iraqi Information Minister would be a more reliable source....

One of the West Ham sources who's pretty good on transfers mentioned an English Striker who's a transfer option for us in his weekly column today. ExWhuEmployee if you look on Twitter.

Batshauyi and Lacazette are still are top options, but we also got linked with Icardi from Inter also.
