Transfer discussion thread

In terms of money, he’s probably paid 2-3 times more for that private chartered flight than a business class fare on a commercial airline.

I don’t think it was anything to do with saving money. More so the time/convenience of a direct flight.

Yeah fair enough but it's an hour flight from Nantes to Paris and then similar from Paris to Cardiff. A short stopover inbetween. What's the rush. Such a tragic story though. I dont like those small airplanes and I never get on them.

i guess it's all pretty easy to saw now with hindsight what should and shouldnt be done.

Yeah true. Such a sad story.

Sadly he doesn’t have the benefit of hindsight. Given the choice again of course we’d all know what he would choose. But it’s just a very sad set of circumstances for all involved.

IIRC the last call he made mentioned how much stuff he had to do and how he exhausted he was. I also think they mention he had training that afternoon. All said, that extra hour probably seemed like a dream, not a death sentence.

I think this must be Pep’s idea of trolling. I’ve read some absurd articles in my time but this just about takes the biscuit

he's not wrong though. it is difficult to get good talent at good prices. it's in response to missing out on de jong though, with barca paying 65 mil + bonuses and 300k a week for a 21 year old from holland. it's just a reference to how the club is structured due to not getting players in last few years due to wages.

 

[Cruyff14]

300k a week for De Jong? Wow.

 

[mike123]

that sounds like a fifa wage

Damn was hoping we could push 361 out to 500 signing free days

Hope not Jarrod.

Looks like Juve are selling Benatia to a club in Qatar and getting Caceres on loan from Lazio.

Spurs signing Rabiot?

 

[moomba]

It can be tough for us clubs trying to compete against the big spenders of world football.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Hope not Jarrod.

I reckon Sessegnon

Is Grealish still a possibility? Nice boost for you guys if you sign someone combined with Son returning earlier than expected from the Asian Cup.

Grealish is an awful player, would be laughable if they tried to get him.

perisic ending up in the premier league but with arsenal would be amusing
