Transfer discussion thread

Villa are signing Mings for around 20M quid.

Turning into the new Fulham with how they're splashing the cash....

I heard they weren't? Cahill the alternative they're going for instead.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

A lot of their players were loanees that got them promoted. They have to spend pretty big if they want a chance to stay up - primarily by making some of those loan players permanent. They won’t get Abrahams off Chelsea so they are gonna need a striker from somewhere you’d imagine

It's not official but the Guardian was running with it 6 hours ago.

Think they signed Wesley from Brugge if memory serves me right.

Just saying that 20M seems rather pricey for a defender who never proved themselves at Premier league level.

Don't lie to me Kaveh.

 

[Cruyff14]

Wow.

Seems like Hummez doesn't want to leave the city of Madrid if he can help it. I'm sure it'll piss off a lot of Madridistas if it happens

Joao Felix, Lemar, and James is a very tasty attacking trio.

Assuming Simeone can use them effectively. Also doesn't provide much width

 

[chef]

Will Simeone play both Costa and Morata too?

 

[Cruyff14]

From The Mirror, not sure how true it is either, but,

Arsenal are hoping the likes of Carl Jenkinson, Calum Chambers or Mohamed Elneny will be enough to lower Crystal Palace's asking price for Wilfried Zaha.

Only one I'd be semi disappointed to see go is Chambers.

I imagine they'll mostly alternate at the #9 position, with Felix occupying the 2nd striker slot that Griezmann played in Simeone's 4-4-2.

James would presumably mostly play RM if we were to sign him, but I guess he could play SS too

So you don't want to lose the only player Palace would want.

If push came to shove I would be for it

Rondon is joining Rafa in China by the sounds of it.

Yeah just saw. Crazy fee.

 

[kreglze]

Nearly a month to go till the season starts and Arsenal still have only signed a 17 year old youth player and only moved on Ospina.

Top draw nuffies that run Arsenal. All I heard about in March/April was there is a transfer plan in place. We are a lock for 6th at this rate, possibly even lower.

 

[SM]

United, Chelsea and Arsenal all in for bad seasons. Really opens up a spot in the Top 4 for a Leicester/Wolves/Everton/West Ham type.

 

[Cruyff14]

I still reckon Chelsea will do alright.

Based on what? They have no striker, a weak midfield, and an inexperienced manager. They can't sign any players.

Yet they've signed two players. They also have a striker in Bats. The only difference from last season is no Hazard.

I also don't see United doing worse then they did last season. Still players to come in.

Geeze I genuinely forgot about Bats. And Giroud actually. Ok maybe not as bad as I thought.

No Hazard, no Higuain. Arguable about how much Hig contributed.

Season ticket renewal time always coincides with some empty promises at Arsenal.

And he added **** all.
They have some quality kids as well. Reckon they'll be exciting next season.
