Summer 2016 Transfer Rumour Thread

[DBAH0]

Carroll---Benteke
------Sakho------
Payet-Noble-Lanzini

We play more a 4-1-2-2-1 formation, with Kouyate / Nordveit as the DM, Noble and Lanzini as the 2 CM's, Antonio and Payet on the wings and then a striker up front.

But Slav can change the formation, went to a 5-3-2 a few times late in the season.

I just don't see the point when we already have Carroll.

We need a clinical pacy striker with an eye for goal.

would be a major upgrade on carroll imo but yeah i see your point

 

[Lockyer24]

Bonucci would be great. Damian needs a mate

 

[Gosha]

Pedro on Diego Costa: "We don't know [if he is leaving], but for us it would be a huge loss" #CFC #Atletico (Mundo Deportivo)

 

[Magma]

while mullock is pretty good with city (and martin blackburn), the club also told him that de bruyne wasnt coming

 

[RickSanchez]

What would Aubmeyang cost?

They could keep Carroll as the *break in case of emergency.... We need a gooners hatty*

Shut your mouth bitch

What would Aubmeyang cost?

City's transfer record to begin with.

Maybe the EPL's.

i always laugh at this. Agents have more than 1 client. When Klopp watched the argies, the papers linked pool to higuain because klopp sat beside his agent....who probably has a quarter of the team in his stable.

The internet is funny. The bloke Klopp was sitting next to wasnt even Higuain's agent, it was his son, Marc Klopp.

 

[Gosha]

What would Aubmeyang cost?

More than he's worth

wants to further his career

wants to further his career

Just like Coutinho.

 

[moomba]

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.

We'll probably be the only team to buy a player to try and improve their squad too.

 

[FAITH]

Just like Coutinho.

if hes smart yes, i bet de gea is regretting his decision

What is the current record? Di Maria? Martial(if all add ins are met)?

ADM was £65m or so from memory.

 

[kangaspurs]

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

21 year old striker who apparently scored 30-odd goals in all comps this season. I know it's the Dutch league but it's still pretty impressive. From what I understand he has a good international record as well. It seems like a typical Pochettino signing to me. He's also a lot cheaper than the alternatives in Batshuayi and Lacazette.

ADM was £65m or so from memory.

1. Di Maria @ £59.7m
2. De Bruyne @ £54m
3. Torres @ £50m
4. Sterling @ £49m
5. Ozil @ £42.5m

Martial cost United £37.8 up front with a possible further 30m euros if he meets all his add-ons (£23.5m at the current exchange rate), which would be the new record at £61.3m.

I bet you he isn't.

4. Sterling @ £49m
5. Ozil @ £42.5m

Thanks for that. I think Sterling would be around £45m so far. League Cup win cost us some, and his first appeaeance bonus may have kicked in.

Apparently the only bonuses that haven't been hit are £1m for City winning the league. Cup win & England appearances plus CL semi final havw taken care of the rest. So £48m at this stage.

NUFC Tiger the twitter responses to the sissoko tweets are worth a look mate. Gooners saying he'll be 6th choice and some very unhappy Geordies haha

Haha yeah good comedy reading isn't it? Not really a surprise though. He was always going to be one of the first to want out.

Reckons he always gave his best for the club but only ever turned up whenever we played a big club. He's still contracted for 3 years I believe so Rafa might hang onto him until a decent offer comes in.

Won't shed a tear if he leaves - I personally think he's a bit delusional if he thinks he can walk into a CL club like Arsenal. He's inconsistent as all heck. That being said, I would expect him to improve in a better environment than our own. If he could find consistency to his game, he'd be a fair weapon for a top club.

 

[Gosha]

Just like Coutinho.

Coutinho would be a benchwarmer at PSG but he's too big for Liverpool. Tottenham is about his level.

He wouldn't walk into our team but I wouldn't be surprised if it was depth in our squad.

He'd be better off staying where he is though.
