The Transfers Thread

[Cruyff14]

reasons

they have a tiny stadium. it's not even 20k in size.
french tv money is paltry
the tax rates in france are incredibly high

there's stuff about thiago silva, ibra wanting to leave psg due to these high tax rates. monaco is in an even worse position. unless they get a sponsorship deal such as psg did with qatari tourism monaco are going to be chasing their own shadows for a long time.

still, hats off for the ambition.

Yeah tax free in Monaco. Lovely part of the world too.

however france are trying to get monaco to relocate their headquarters to france to try and get them under the oppressive tax banner.

I think they've been trying to that for years already though.

Moyes taking Baines and Fellaini according to Daily Mirror.

 

[SuperCats9]

Has he officially handed in a transfer request?

No, not like he did in 2010. He met with SAF 2 weeks ago and told him that he believes it was time for him to go. That's all that has happened right now, rumours are going around that he could be off to Bayern, Chelsea, city or PSG, the most likely is either PSG or Bayern IMO, he's apparently said he wants a fresh start, and that means moving abroad.

He has to be careful this time, IF he actually has asked to leave again, then there's no u-turn for him this time, the fans will not forgive him.

Would only want Baines, don't want the big Fro.

Yeah same.

Does nothing for us.

For free?

The Mirror aren't even trying with that one.

You DON'T want Fellaini?

Afer seeing what he was capable of in the first half of the season I'd be happy to at least have him on the bench.

I'm not a fan.

A couple of players in front of him I would rather.

Rooney really does just need a fresh start. Will kill it at Chelsea or Bayern, IMO. Just gone stale.

 

[moomba]

Cant see Rooney leaving England. He can barely speak English let alone having to learn another language.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Wouldnt be dying to get either, but I would prefer Fellaini. Evra isn't leaving, Fabio is back next year it has been confirmed and then there is Buttner. We aren't short on LB's!!

Fellaini's buyout is 22mil and pretty sure Everton wanted 13mil for Baines last summer.

I reckon Baines is much better than all of the above, if you can get him at a steal, then why not?

 

[Tulip]

I think Fellaini would be a brilliant signing for United. They do lack a bit of physicality in the midfield and need some protection for their wingers. Fellaini would offer both.

I can. Him not being able to talk another language has nothing to do with it, lots of players/managers from all over Europe come to England not able to speak a word or English.

If he leaves it will be abroad, united wont sell to a rival.

Unless it's for stupid money....

 

[SuperCats9]

He's already getting shit loads of cash with us.

Reminds me of Joey Barton, who after one game at Marseille had a french accent.

He's 28. I wouldn't want to pay too much for him. Some could argue he's much better than all of those guys but I just can't see it happening. Evra won't be on the bench and I can't see why we'd recall Fabio if we wouldn't ever get a game. Buttner seems happy being a bit part player though

 

[Magma]

the fellaini/baines stuff is the easiest stuff in football to currently write.

there's always the chance neither of them want to follow him, or they might go to different clubs, or they might stay. he hasn't even been in the job 24 hours yet!

 

[Stratton_Gun]

I meant for us to sell to a rival, we would have to get 45mil+ which isn't going to happen

 

[SuperCats9]

No English club will offer a ridiculous amount for Rooney in which we will have to accept. PSG will offer the most out of them all.

 

[Magma]

if psg actually want him

Lots will come to England but very few brits are willing to leave the comforts of home.

And they tend to have certain personalities.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Rooney to Bayern would be a good move
