Transfer discussion thread

They are always nowhere near it though. Two huge chokes last two seasons, and I don't ever recall them ever being mentioned among the favourites. I could be wrong though.

Yes you're wrong.

I do wonder, aside from money, what players see in PSG.

Money is a huge drawcard, yes. So is living in Paris, on a huge wage to just about win Ligue 1 every year.

Playing in the champions league is another factor, not that I think they’re going to win it in the next few years though.

The Paris nightlife?

 

[SM]

Trophies.

They could move to a Championship club and win the league if that's what they're after.

Luton Town happy to sign them.

And as I said that I remembered guys like Neves did exactly that by joining Wolves.

Was a lot more going on with Wolves than simply winning the championship that lured those players.

Absolutely.

 

[Memphis]

42mil option for James Rodriguez not exercised by Bayern. So he's back at Real.

Was just a rotational player at bayern.
Sad to see his talent go to waste like that.

 

[Cruyff14]

He should never have joined Real.

 

[chef]

Sounds like its done, €100m plus €20-30m in add ons.

 

[Zoom]

Happy with that considering they could get him next year for free. We do well getting money for our players. It’s a real pity we piss it all away.

 

[Cruyff14]

What's Hazard worth - say - with three years left on his contract?

Close to 200m for me, surely.

 

[Memphis]

He should never have joined Real.

Money talks.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

23 year old Hazard maybe. Certainly not 28 year old Hazard.

150/160. then becomes who can actually pay that? even madrid are supplementing the fee with considerable add ons.

 

[chef]

Hes worth £150m for mine.

 

[DBAH0]

I'd say he's less than that but then Coutinho's transfer has inflated the marker on that sort of price and Hazard is a better player than Coutinho so $150M is probably fair.

 

[pantskyle]

Wonder if Cout will be the Hazard replacement for Chelsea.

 

[RossFC]

Wonder if PSG will go for DDG now that Buffon is gone.

Apparently Buffon still wants to play somewhere after leaving PSG.

Kovacic is the only guy we'll add outside of loan recalls. We arent getting around the ban.

Surely you manage to dawdle enough with it that it comes into effect next transfer period.

Apparently we've been threatened with a 3 window ban if we get it frozen by CAS and still lose. We are just going to cop it on the chin and accept our punishment.

Since the new owners came in:

2011/12 - Europa Group Stage
2012/13 - CL QF
2013/14 - CL QF
2014/15 - CL QF
2015/16 - CL QF
2016/17 - CL R16
2017/18 - CL R16
2018/19 - CL R16

PSG are the most overrated club in Europe. Constantly spoken of as one of the top 3-4 clubs in Europe but in reality they’ve consistently demonstrated they’re somewhere in that 8th-16th bracket.

 

[RossFC]

I wonder if PSG failing badly in Europe has anything to do with the lack of quality teams they normally play against, then when a good team comes it might shock them that they can't coast to a 4-0 win every week.
