Transfer Discussion Thread

[Bojan KantKick]

Feels odd to spend 90 mill on Anthony and 170 mill in this window and have a public temper tantrum about a difference of 8.5 mill in money.

I mean you picked a pretty stupid time to make a stand is all im saying.

In a weird way its kind of like Maguire is being punished because Antony is so crap and has lost so much value

Who is having a temper tantrum?

 

[chef]

 

[Frank Bunn]

Well he can play in the 2s for the next two years then like he did today.

That seems like a shitty way of treating a player who has been club captain for the last three and a half years. I hope United find a way to move him on that he is happy with.

 

[chef]

Zyiech close to joining PSG apparently. Hopefully doesn't fall through this time.

 

[SM]

How is that statement in any way similar.

What?

 

[SM]

Oh right yeah, Mo Salah's agent already came out and rubbished any more to Saudi and we of course wont be selling the best GK in the world.

Silly stuff.

Here we go.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Chelsea’s spending has been ridiculous.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

So Lavia AND Caicedo? Wow again. And Olise been pursued as well just because it’s been a little while since Boehly signed a winger, so why not.

We actually need another RW. The only other ones in our squad are Madueke and Ziyech with the latter likely to leave.

We were always going to make a number of signings given our squad turnover.

K2, Mendy, Kante, Kovacic, RLC, Havertz, Mount, PEA, Pulisic, Felix and Zakaria are all gone, with a chance that Gallagher is on the way out too.

With Kepa now on loan, we'll be signing another GK too.

United get no transfer fee and pay his full wages for someone they don't.

Seems a high price just to swing your dick around a bit and pretend to be the big guy.

I wish we had Winstanley and Stewart in place for last summer.

I'm sure it'd make potential signings think twice too if that's how they treat a club captain.

It's still a very large squad even with those sales. 24 players not including ziyech, Lukaku etc. Doesn't include the young players either

What would you say the ideal number would be?

For a team not in Europe, 20 with the academy players making up the rest? Chelsea just seem to be addicted to buying players. It will be near impossible for poch to keep them all happy. And paying that much for back ups is a lot. If only they'd share them out, football would be much more competitive

Hes spoken about it and he wants 2 per position and he'll be making some hard calls on a few before the window is closed. We wont be going bloated again.

[Zidane98]

just mental

Does his new contract include a month off in March every year?

 

[Frank Bunn]

Selling too.

A quick reckon up - if you buy Lavia there's about a €140m transfer deficit this season. Olise would make that about €180m.

Out
Kalidou Koulibaly € 23m
Mateo Kovacic € 29m
Mason Mount € 64m
Kai Havertz € 75m
Christian Pulisic € 20m
Edouard Mendy € 18m
Ruben Loftus-Cheek € 16m
Ethan Ampadu € 8m
€ 253,000,000

In
Moisés Caicedo € 116m
Christopher Nkunku € 60m
Axel Disasi € 45m
Nicolas Jackson € 37m
Lesley Ugochukwu € 27m
Robert Sánchez € 23m
Ângelo € 15m
Lavia € 70m
€ 393,000,000

This is on top of the €551m spent last season on Enzo Fernández, Wesley Fofana, Mykhaylo Mudryk, Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, Benoît Badiashile, Kalidou Koulibaly, Noni Madueke, Malo Gusto, Carney Chukwuemeka.

So that's 22

Is the window shut?

Im not denying we've spent a shitload of money, but we'll also make more than any through sales too.

Still hard for me to believe that Aubameyang to Chelsea actually happened. Signed on Tuchel’s recommendation/request, who was then sacked a week later. Just baffling squad planning and incompetence from Boehly and co. Amazing stuff.
