Transfer discussion thread

Very very few people will ever have the talent that this guy does. That talent at the peak of your career is absolutely wasted chasing unrealistic wages in the Saudi Arabian league.

Sorry but playing for West Ham on dildo money living in London at that stage of your career (and let's be honest it is still great money) is much more appealing than playing in Saudi Arabia where you have no life and are playing in a fair inferior league. It's where players should be looking to go when they are at the end of their careers for one final payday.

The bloke who just moved clearly disagrees with you

Chelsea news: Oscar reveals regret over move to Chinese Super League | Metro News

Couldn't get into the NT and now wants back into Europe but will never be able to move until his contract expires.

Could have stayed in Europe, made great money, played in a couple of world cups then join a Chinese team for crazy wages in his 30s.

While I agree with the overall point, afaik those crazy wages aren't really on offer in China anymore

Whilst he regretted that part he is also quite happy to make as much money as possible and help out his family.

The Lukaku “poor first touch” meme is dead. It doesn’t matter when you score 30 a season.

Touch of a donkey

I hope it happens tbh less competition for Haaland.

Haaland to united looks more doable by the day. He's running out of options rom/cfc harry/city.

Mates with ole and Sancho too.

Dortmund are a bit dumb to sell him half price next season

I don't think that Dortmund would be able to get UCL football without him this season. Tough to sell your two best players and goal scorers in one window. Replacements have to adjust to a new league and won't replicate previous performance on day one. Makes sense for BVB to replace them over 2 seasons.

City and Chelsea will be able to afford his transfer fee with ease next season as will Real Madrid. They will also be able to afford the £20m each Raiola and his dad want.

The question is, will any of the English clubs want to destroy the wage structure to accommodate him? £500k per week is what he wants. We know the Spanish clubs don't care about wages so Real could have the edge.

Pogba is happy to re-sign at United but is asking for £450k per week and we aren't giving him that and we are currently renewing Bruno. Can't just bring someone in on £500k per week or the rest of them will get the right arseh*le.

I would be far more keen if Raiola wasn't his agent tbh. I am so sick and tired of his shit.

It’s a life changing move, how is that a waste? Good for him.

What’s so fulfilling about playing for West Ham for dildo money and winning nothing?

Football careers are short. Make as much money as you can while you can.

when you have a dead horse, you need to keep flogging. it's all zidane does

Thought you'd like this moomba from the impartial John Aldridge.

 

[moomba]

Ha ha, he's such a pisshead he's probably forgotten that he encouraged VVD to go on strike to get a move to Liverpool.

 

[moomba]

Err. Harry, you didn't think we were serious did you?

No, just winding up Levy, better get yourself back to training then, there's a good lad.

 

[moomba]

Shit. Barca have confirmed it apparently.

 

[RPCB]

Maybe I am the only one but not only do I find Barcelona completely irrelevant but I also find Messi irrelevent. The exploits of the other great footballers in the world are a shit load more interesting than Messi.

 

[RossFC]

 

[moomba]

Just having a look, reckon this could be Barca challenging La Liga to change their rules. Wouldn't surprise me at all if that happened.

If not, PSG are likely. We're apparently not interested but that could change.

Sell Kane. Sign messi. Net spend +150m. #levyd

 

[DBAH0]

Or City could not sign Kane and sign Messi instead I suppose.

 

[darth_timon]

City have got to be keeping one eye on Messi. They're one of the few clubs that could afford his wages. I'd be tempted.
