Transfer discussion thread

[chef]

AC Milan appear to have the same players in mind as Chelsea, they want one of PEA, Morata or Belotti.

We need to get one. Not fussed which though.

 

[chef]

Do we have enough players to register a squad for the 17/18 season?

Haha we'll be fine. Still think we'll buy 2 wingbacks, a striker and maybe a CM if Matic goes.

Just need to recall several of the players the business has farmed out on loan, you'll be fine.

He's pretty much saying he only wants to join Bayern, Real or Barca with that statement. Barca & Real don't need him. Bayern want him but don't want to pay him 300k / week. Perhaps Alexis should accept a significant paycut to join Bayern if his childhood dream is so important.....

Bayern have ruled him out, Rummenige has said it's pointless for them to sign another attacker.

Looks like Sanches could be on his way to AC Milan on a loan/buy deal.

Really unsure why United aren't inquiring for a straight up purchase, Mou wanted him before he joined Bayern.

I reckon we should do the same

He hits a heap of Poch criteria

Chelsea with Alexis could win it IMO, no one else though. Absolutely zero chance we sell him to an English team this window anyway so it's moot.

I'd do a straight swap for Hazard though

Not with Conte as manager.

Yeah Alexis to Bayern ended when they signed James I think. Don't see him going to any other club who could realistically win the UCL aside from maybe Juve, although been no talk of that whatsoever.

They sold Costa though so would have had some need for a winger or right sided forward.

Maybe. A team with European pedigree is finally back in the CL. So he should join us

In fairness, Basel is pretty hard...

They were back then. Knocked out Chelsea also.

In 2014?

The previous season I think it was. Basle had a very good team back in those days.

That's a lie

Mr Meyler seems to have announced Jakupovic is on the move:



Not sure he should be doing that before the clubs have announced it but it really makes not that much difference I guess.

Really? It's been all over the press, well before Meyler said anything.

Was my pick for flop of the season in the prediction thread last season.

Not quite mate. They beat us twice in the group stages, but we topped the group and they finished third and were knocked out.

Depends what you define a "flop" as. Nolito was like Lucas Perez for me - definitely good enough, but mismanaged and underplayed by fraudulent managers. Therefore, wouldn't call him a flop personally as he showed ability in this league early doors.

Nolito hated being in England I thought

He started so well in the first ten games and then wasn't seen again after the red card.

Yeah I think that's why he left. But he started the season particularly well.

Perez had been criminally mismanaged. Banged in goals every time he played. Hope the club fixes it's blunder, figures out what to do with Alexis, and if they get rid of him, keep Lucas. Definitely good enough for EPL.
