Transfer discussion thread

Think this is a mistake from Villa..

Not this particular signing, but overhauling their CBs so quickly. Need some consistency from the Championship or else they'll be leaky early.

Brentford doing some amazing business.

What's this about Fulham?

 

[Bradesmaen]

This is why we need to get rid of woodward doesn't know a bargain when he sees one.

He's 30 though, 31 before the end of next season. I get that you want quality players but you have to go a bit younger imo or you'll be out looking for a new CB in 2 more years. Has had a history of hamstring injuries which usually get worse as you get older.

Maybe he’s just not interested in Utd. He’s already on record stating he plans to stay. Nothing has contradicted that yet

Could turn into laurent blanc, if he stays healthy of course.

One good season and one season where he faded into retirement at United?

Make more sense for Toby to see out the last year and then walk to whoever gives him the biggest signing on fee. He probably wont win anything but he'll make a heap of cash.

Backward step, no?

Depends which way you look at it. We’re still a much bigger club than Tottenham, but as far as what the club offers (eg CL and competing for honours), spurs are better placed.

Apparently Barca are having such problems with cash flow right now that they had to pay their staff late last month

Griezmann clause payment complications for Barça

As FC Barcelona targeted getting the Antoine Griezmann deal done and dusted this week, financial difficulties appear to be an obstacle.

As such, their plan to have signed Griezmann by yesterday is running into difficulties as they haven't found a bank that will give them the 120m euros they need to pay his release clause

How the * does this happen to a club as big as Barca?!

Their wage bill is unsustainable.

According to the Forbes' list of Most Valuable Football Clubs, Barca made an operating loss of USD$37m despite having the 2nd highest revenue in the world

There’s some gross incompetence going on there.

 

[drd23]

The fact that, since 2012, they've lost in the QFs of the UCL as many times as they've made it further and only won it once doesn't help - that's a fair bit of lost revenue every second year

 

[RPCB]

I meant for the player.

At Roma, he wouldn’t even finish within 20+ points of Juventus and he won’t win anything. Now surely Toby prefers a bigger club over what is familiar to him.

 

[Latro]

Hahahahaha

 

[PendlePie]

Hahahahaha

Valuing them at £40m is laughable but there’s no doubt that Chambers and Elneny would be valuable squad players to a side like Palace.

£40m + those two is the max we should be offering. He’s simply not worth what they’re asking for.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

That Arsenic account is also one of the worst there is.

It just posts article links.

For what Palace want for Zaha you could nearly get Fekir and Werner.
Interested to find out where both end up tbh.

Which explains why it's always filled with s**t

Werner = Bayern

I read the sun for laughs. No point reading for anything else.

Hammers chasing Higuain

 

[Magma]

kos giving arsenal the bird and refusing to go out on pre season with them cos he wants his contract torn up.

 

[Memphis]

One good season and one season where he faded into retirement at United?

Hopefully we get to find out.
It's a chance i would take.

 

[kangaspurs]

I know we joke about him on here, but is Duncan Castles reliable when it comes to transfers? He's said we're interested in Dani Alves. Despite his age, it would fill an obvious need for us, but given the source I'm skeptical.
