Transfer discussion thread

So in other words you are saying United need to bid 180m + Lingard + Martial + Maguire to buy Declan Rice

Probably. English tax.

He didn't ask specifically for Saul, but he wanted a CM for depth and that's what he got. Long term plan is for Gallagher and Gilmour to come home next season.

Something was strange with the whole situation. AM hawking him everywhere on loan but not trying to sell him.

His wages are too high to sell. Him coming to the bridge was a wage dump for a season.

If his wages are too high and they are trying to ship him off anywhere they can surely its time to let him go at a cut rate transfer fee allowing him to move on at lower wages and claim a significant signing on bonus to offset the lower wages.

That's not how AM do things. They wanted 40m for a 32 year old right back who wanted out and wouldn't budge on the fee at all.

When they couldn't sell Saul outright for £40-50m they tried to do a loan with an obligation to buy. United pulled out of the deal and Chelsea managed to negotiate it from an obligation to buy to an option to buy.

You hear lots of transfers like this. “The manager didn’t really want the player, but the club bought or loaned him in anyway”. Makes no sense.

This is when clubs have sporting directors who do the transfers thinking said player is a star in the team, without working inside the managers framework. I get the manager has more important things to do than scout/scour reports but it's quite important really to have a signing fit. Worked at Liverpool

Could very well end up in the A League after that stint.

Inter Miami replacing Higuain please.

Just Martial, Maguire has silenced the doubters so he’ll be fine now, we need to keep him.

How is scoring a couple of goals for England silencing the doubters? Lol

Think it’s a reference to Maguire scoring and cupping his ears.

I'm certain that's called sarcasm.

Since when did they start doing 2 month deals?

You didn't have to do him like that.

You can sign a contract for however long you want to.

Of course but 2 months? Doesn't seem like enough in the sport of soccer unless he plans to go elsewhere like usa or australia etc.

Waste of time tbh.

Get match fit, put himself in the January window, and potentially sign an extension with them. Makes perfect sense.

They're getting him incredibly cheap with zero risk if he remains crocked.

Think of it as a paid trial. Turns out to be a success, they offer him a proper deal. If he does his knee falling over while blind drunk downing jager bombs on a night out - then they are only liable for the 2 months of his contract which they can easily pay out and send him on his way.

There's really no downside to the deal at all.

Carroll is covering for a few injuries... (Let's hope he doesn't continue with his play 3 games and injure himself)

 

[Zidane98]

Sounds like Sterling to Barca talk is legit.

Not sure how they fit his wages of 300k / week in their cap though. Perhaps a gofundme campaign might do the trick.

Reading have been handed a 6 point deduction for the stupidity of signing Andy Carroll.

They have absolutely nothing to spend and are signing washed up ex players, they are no chance for Sterling.

Resigned myself to Leeds losing Raphinha to Liverpool, possibly as soon as January.

Look after him Scousers
