Transfer discussion thread

Think we'll see United go for Rice, Chelsea for Haaland (United bottled that) and Liverpool for Bellingham.

City to nibble at all three maybe.

It's bizarre that City havent gone for Haaland. They easily have the money. Just give BVB 150 million and 10 years and 500 goals later and countless trophies, I'm sure City wont be too worried about that 150 they spent.

He's ridiculous. I wish we had money.

Yeah with money you could buy players like Alisson, Salah, Fabinho and Van Dijk.

Salah and Fabinho were modest buys. Ali and VVD were bought from Coutinho money. We dont have 150 to just to buy Haaland unfortunately.

Nooo... Bellingham looks the absolute dogs bollocks and it younger. I'd love it if we showed some actual ambition and went and got him.

Why not just say Bellingham is a very good young player? I had to read the rest of your post to realize that you actually think he’s a good player.

Buys over 40 mil aren’t modest

United had their chance to sign Rice in the summer and they chose Sancho instead, simple as that.

I asked a while back if Rice was worth 100M and a lot of people said no because he wasn't an attacker, do people feel the same way now based on what he's shown this season?

Nowhere near worth 100m IMO. There are just as good options available on the continent potentially available for far less.

Obviously had a very good season so far but definitely not worth 100m for me which if we are being honest has a big whack of the old English tax on his valuation.

I'd rather pick up Kessie on a cut price deal in Jan or even a freebie in the summer.

If they're struggling to convince Ramsey, someone barely playing for Juve, to come across, I'm not sure of the calibre they would attract.

Everton are after Ramsey as well

They are in today's world and Salah was only 35 million.

So Ramsey to the middle east next season then

They really aren't.

Forgot we deal pounds over here.

Hes only created 1 big chance for the season. Guess they are including lofted balls into the box as "chances" from set plays and normal play with those stats your quoting.

As it's a stat from 'open play' not too sure that would include set pieces.

But then to me you could say the same thing about Grealish or even Kane though IMO.

Someone like Kessie may take a season to get acclimated to the Premier League as well. Look at how someone like Fred worked out for instance coming in from Ukraine.

There's also others like Tchoumanei.

They really are becoming a retirement home. Whats Mascherano up to?

Maybe Xavi can pull on the boots and play the captain coach role.

Messi might even come back on loan in the summer.

 

[Oshka]

So good they’ve become minnows

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Iniesta next

 

[RPCB]

Xavi as play/coach because you know he’s still a better football than their entire squad.

You bought Jota for £41m on a whim. He was the 8th most expensive transfer of last season in world football.

We will have a big window next summer after spending like a mid table club for the last 3 years.

Yep so true. Massive difference though between 41 million and 150 million which is what it requires to bring in someone like a Haaland.
