Summer 2016 Transfer Rumour Thread

[Scotland]

would much rather live in Nice than Paris. Wouldn't get the 100k per week pay check but i'm sure i could make ends met on 20k Munich would be high on my list too.

There's a club not far from Nice where you'd get a decent paycheque. And they'll let you keep most of it too.

I suspect he'll end up with you but he's already proven to be the best DM in the PL this season. What facet of his game do you think will improve by joining Wenger? (I mean this genuinely, I actually want to know haha).

Who knows, could be something about knowing when to push forward or stay back, decision making etc.

Might not be significant, but it may just be an all round improvement.

I hope we sign him!

Sounds like Piotr Zielinski (21 year old Polish CM) will join Matip & Grujic as our 3rd signing of the summer, supposedly it'll be announced later this week.

Completed the 3rd most dribbles of any player in Serie A (generally indicative of a player with pretty strong technical ability, particularly for a box to box mid like Zielinski as opposed to a winger), and WhoScored rate him the 2nd best U23 player in the league after Dybala.

Would need to improve his passing big time.

Yep, was basically confirmed in Jan, but the club decided to hold off officially announcing it until the end of the season.

It means Alex Song is definitely headed back to Barcelona. Wasn't exactly a good influence around the club when he wasn't playing.

 

[DBAH0]

If two clubs are offering the same wages/contract length and are around the same level of ambition then the location could certainly be a factor in their decision, doubt anyone would turn down more money at Liverpool to sign for West Ham though.

Depends if they really wanted to live in London I suppose, it's becoming more of a factor.

Ogbonna and Byram turned down Everton and chose us instead for instance.

But obviously Liverpool are bigger than Everton and probably have more cash to splash.

That is really surprising to Arsenal fans.

Just before he left Arsenal Bould got into it with him and had him by the throat. Well that was a story going around.

yeah, i saw you posted about it in Jan but I couldn't reply to your post as the thread is locked. He was linked with a few other EPL clubs including pool so he could be a good signing for you.

Are the Irons after a new RB? A mate who is a hammers fan has been bitching and moaning about Antonio for a while lol

 

[kreglze]

I must be well behind it, but is Jenkinson injured or something? Or is he just not good enough for the Hammers starting 11?

did his acl a few months back

karius to liverpool according to kicker. has a 10 mil euros buyout clause. knows england as he was in our and i think sunderland's academy.

 

[Latro]

West Ham can have Debuchy.

For 10mil that's pretty tempting. Would try and go for ter Stegen or Hart first before bidding on him though.

injured. when he was playing he was shit.

The whole Diafra Sahko going AWOL before the Arsenal game, he had a massive bust-up with Song in training the day before the game.

Will be curious to see where Song ends up, he's still class on his day, but that's not very often, and he's really more trouble than he's worth....

Yep we want an experienced RB to compete with Byram.

Been linked with Van Der Wiel, Rafael and Debuchy to name a few.

Antonio should be our starting RW going forward, was easily our best player again yesterday, had a very underrated season with Payet getting most of the plaudits.

Jenkinson and Tomkins will be playing under Fat Sam next season I reckon FWIW.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Debuchy would be a horrible signing imo. Van Der Wiel is alright. Rafa is doing well in France. Not sure if he's mature enough for the prem though.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Ever Banega will leave Sevilla on a free to join Inter. Confirmed

 

[jod23]

Living in Liverpool would be shit even for the super rich.

no pool players actually live there mate. it's a shithole

Been to Liverpool plenty of times. It's great. A shit hole yes, but so is Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle etc etc... It's only really London that has that real European great city vibe. The rest of England is very dreary, old and a bit shit. But that's England. It helps when you have tons of money.

So then you're living in the best part of Liverpool and shopping in the best places, eating in the best restaurants etc.
