Transfer discussion thread

**** I hope that doesn’t mean Zaha to Everton actually has some legs

If Arsenal improve their front line and ignore their defence there might be a lot of 4-3 type results.

 

[carnthemlions]

Just means that they got other clubs to accept their "just 5 yearly installments" payment plans

Apparently the thing to do is compete with Serie A clubs for transfer targets.

 

[DBAH0]

So who's better value, Pepe for 72M or Zaha for about 65M or so.

Can see why Arsenal did what they did really.

Tierney and Salbia is pretty good

Tierney and Salbia is pretty good

Tierney isn't signed and Taliban isn't joining for a year.

Sounds done but

and long term its pretty impressive if Bellerin(sp?) stays and stops getting injuries. Only need a couple more

Pepe. 3 years younger and a better winger.

Will be my signing of the season and the winger i wanted to replace Hazard. Jealous.

[Donnie Darko]

Pepe has had one good season in France and now he is worth 80 million ?
just shows the market is a joke.

I'm going the opposite way. He's my bet for flop of the season as I'm just not convinced he has the technical ability to justify a big move like that. I've also been highly suspicious of how desperate Lille seemed to be to cash in on him in this window.

Was second to Mbappe in Ligue 1 last year in the scoring stats. That's no mean feat.

22 goals and 11 assists at 24. Not really a chump.

 

[Sozabarus]

So Arsenal have finally replaced Gervinho.

 

[go you pups]

Napoli have 80m for Pepe but didn't want to pay 42m for James?

Maybe wages are a problem with James and that Napoli have a strict wage structure

Ousmane Dembele lead the way in this regard

So Arsenal have finally replaced Gervinho.

Was thinking this




On other matters, seems that Rakuten company is doing all the work for Vissel Kobe

 

[drd23]

That would make sense if Napoli weren't pushing for a loan with obligation to buy as their way of acquiring him. If they knew they were going to buy him next year anyway, I can't imagine it's a problem of wages as the reason for them not ponying up the cash.

Either way it's probably moot now given the rumours that Zidane is going to keep James around for another year because of Asensio's injury

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Asensio fallout?

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Asensio fallout?

Not enough good golf courses in china.

 

[Latro]

Real called off the deal.

 

[citizen-erased]

Asensio fallout?

Real. What a bunch of dickheads.

 

[RossFC]

Seeing on twitter that Everton's bid for Zaha was rejected. Some people running with 52, or 55mil.

 

[pantskyle]

Real called off the deal.

Sure that is what they want you to think, Bale's manager has said from the start he wasn't going to China, he was never going.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

To be fair, most players would play football in the backyards of Trinidad and Tobago for a Million a week

No they wouldn't, big reason why quite a lot of players have turned down the big wages in China.

 

[kangaspurs]

Yeah, I think this too. Marca reported that even despite being the best paid footballer in the world, his family weren't convinced about moving and living there.

 

[Latro]

That was in a follow up tweet from Ornstein. I know he does not want to go to China.
