Summer Transfer Window Rumours & Ratings

[Bojan KantKick]

Reading that Arsenal are into Pedro. Would spell the end for Walcott

Would be a great signing.

Would be a great signing.

Can see it happening as well, is well down the pecking order at Barca

Will they allow him to leave while they're subject to this transfer ban? Remember that they can't bring anyone in to replace him until January 2016 so you'd think it'd be unlikely they'd let him go until then.

Maybe, but Tello is only on loan at Porto isn't he? So he'd come back to the club as well

i think tello will be better than pedro. at least i thought that about 2 years ago. been pretty good when i've seen him play in the champions league.

I think Barca will have cover with some Barca B players if required.

Denis Suarez is sposed to be a gun but is on loan.

Anyone know how deulofeu is doing?

Halilovic is sposed to be better than odegaard

wouldnt be so sure. barca b are having a horrific season and are likely to end up relegated unless they pick things up. apparently the academy standards have fallen off a cliff in the last couple of seasons.

Great to hear.

 

[CountryRace]

Dunno how true it is; I think they having been playing a young team for barca b. instead of drafting in mid 20s players, that'll never make the barca senior side. That has a knock on effect to the youth teams.

And some of the most talented prospects are banned from playing, I think. Like the sKorean.not sure au falling off a cliff

Only in as much as Arsenal could cast off Ozil and expect Serge Gnabry to do a similar job. Barça have a couple of decent players coming through but none of them are anywhere near Pedro's standard yet.

Pedro is a bench player, they just need to replace that for a few months.

 

[Tulip]

Can you see Levy spending the £75m+ and £250k a week wage he would command?

They still owe us tons from the deal, and he wouldn't be sold for more than £60-65m ish anyway the way he's playing. I don't see it happening, but I think wages would be the least of our issues if it did.

 

[CountryRace]

Reported Bayern has interest in Guendegan...bad luck Man U no chance for you if true

Why would he want to go sit on the bench?

Bayern midfield is insane

Seriously Pedro again...year after year.

Wouldn't want to pay anything over 10 mil for him.

But remember Tottenham spent that money, there's no credits in the bank.

£90 million in - £90 million out
Now you want to buy him back - its at a loss to Tottenham even if its "only" £60-65 million.

And if you start paying Bale £250,000 a week you set a precedent - all other players are going to be expecting higher wages.

I don't think he's as much on the outer as you suggest. He still plays & scores regularly (on track to make 50+ appearances again this season). In addition, he's the only other true forward that they have outside of the starting 3 of Messi, Suarez & Neymar (as superhuman as they are, aren't capable of playing every single minute of every single game), he's still a very important part of that side and not the sort of player whose impact they can replace by just chucking in an untried academy player.

Alonso, Schweinsteiger old and injured often. Alaba injured often. Hojsberg might be back next season but maybe not.

 

[Nallad]

Reports in Germany are saying Bayern are after Griezmann

 

[Shoei]

They do realize Bayern can only field 11 players at a time right?

 

[kaiserchief13]

Griezzmann is a suitable replacement for Shaqiri to rotate with aging Robben and Ribery.

I dunno. I guessed.

He's only started 17 games though hasn't he?

We're at a deficit on a superficial level - but we actually made money that season having sold Parker, Caulker etc.

Pochettino has demanded investment and will probably get it. I doubt it'll be on Bale, but I'm quite certain that no player in our squad bar Kane and Lloris come close to wages like that, and it's no more fanciful (far less so, in fact) than Hugo joining Arsenal.

I also feel like Bale wouldn't demand that from us if he wanted to come back, he'd still be on princely money regardless.
