Transfer discussion thread.

[SM]

Why would you want to spend £9m for a player to have him for six months in a league where foreign signings invariably take time to find their feet? Just so you can get your money back or a small profit if he does turn out to be good.

Because he's just spent half the day trying to convince us that loyalty is important but now seems happy to turn a buck when the shoes on the other foot.

Why are so desperate to say I told you so all the time?

Selling a player for £20m after 18 months good service is a bit different to selling a player for a small profit after 6 months of what may or may not be good service.

have man u been linked with anyone with Pace? we are slow in the middle and up front

Why are you so desperate to have a go at me? I'm pointing out a hypocrisy not saying I told you so. In fact I don't know what the "I told you so" would be in this situation... That loyalty really is dead? It's a discussion, get over it.

Chelsea get Rayan Souici. Apparently the next Pogba already. I HATE THAT.

There was no hypocrisy. If you can't tell the difference between the two scenarios there's not much I can do.

And I had a go at you because you can't make a comment on here without you trying to link it back to a previous discussion (sometimes a months old discussion) just so you can make out that you were right and the other person was wrong. It's incredibly annoying.

I asked why you would spend £9m on a 6 month deal, and your answer was because Jatz said something. Jatz has nothing to do with why Leicester would spend £9m.

You're being intentionally argumentative so not much point continuing.

Why?

We have about half dozen next Vieira's, the next Messi and the next Ibra at our academy. No next Kompany's or Zaba's yet.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Why?

It's a hype statement that provides a reason for erroneous gloating or years of expectations followed by bashing the player for not reaching an unreasonable prediction.

In this case: How old is Pogba? Not yet in his mid-20s? They are almost in the same generation.

 

[Latro]

Pogba is 21.

denayer's the next kompany

bit of stuff that bony has asked to leave.

thiago motta has asked to leave psg. could be off to milan

mbaye niang from milan possibly off to newcastle. not sure if it's a loan

rabiot to spurs on loan apparently 'close'

 

[moomba]

But who is the next Denayer? Not sure on Bony, seems a bit pricy.

Misunderstood what you were hating, my bad.

Completely agree with you.

[moomba]

Saw Liam Ridgewell is joining Wigan on loan from MLS.

 

[Magma]

Aradibbidydobbityao?

sounds about right

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Depay, Robben and Reus.

I would guess that we would get Depay come the summer window.

 

[SM]

Strong word Defoe keen to come to us because of the ex Spurs players and we're trying to find a reasonable wage. We also don't want a loan.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Pogba is 21.

Cheers.

Misunderstood what you were hating, my bad.

Completely agree with you.

No worries.

Of course, it's very early days so I could be getting grumpy for nothing. It's the case in every 87 out of 100 cases.



I love fellow cynicism.

 

[Tulip]

I've no idea. Arry came out and said he's too expensive. Bruce came out and said it's unlikely. We baulked at his wages in the summer. You'd think he'd be a little more realistic, surely. Liverpool seem keen on Berahino anyway.

£20m minimum for a guy who hasn't scored in months. English premium will make it closer to £30m. Classic Liverpool if so!

 

[Tulip]

We've been linked to Aaron Lennon as well. Would very much like him, especially while Mahrez is away.

Wouldn't be surprised if MP is keen for a Lennon+cash deal for Mahrez, with him perhaps being loaned back to you for the rest of the season.

Love to see JD back in the Prem. Sign Crouchinho and you'll stay up for sure.

Sunderland askked to cough up 8m for van Dijk.
