[P-Nut]

Hirving Lozano will sign for Celta after Confederations Cup

I can't decide if this is good or underwhelming for him. Definite step up but wouldn't have minded seeing him at a lower level champs league club

 

[Ramshock]

I personally think we will go for 5 players.

Kind of agree, I wouldn't be surprised if (when) Rooney leaves we end up adding another one or two and have Mourinho come out and say that Rooney's decision to leave forced him back into the market as he wasn't preparing for a club legend to be moved on. Football politics mastery.

 

[carvajal]

Quique Setién will sign today with Betis for three years

 

[carvajal]

Atletico is interested in the current situation of Costa after the new legislation of the Chinese government in the matter of transfers

I agree to a certain extent, but, given that Celta is one of those teams that allows attacking players to shine, I'm more inclined to think this a positive move for him.

What new legislation?

 

[Anduin]

What new legislation?

100% tax on top of the transfer fee for foreign players IIRC.

 

[Ramshock]

100% tax on top of the salary of foreign players IIRC.

so salaries will have to be doubled...harsh

 

[VivaJanuzaj]

100% tax on top of the salary of foreign players IIRC.

I think it was for transfer fees not the salaries.

 

[Anduin]

You are of course correct, my memory is shit.

 

[Cal?]

100% tax on top of the transfer fee for foreign players IIRC.

I'm sure there are plenty of creative accounting around that. What, sign Costa for 2m? Wait, Chelsea just got a new Chinese napkin sponsor for 50m? Who'd have thought...

 

[Classical Mechanic]

The Premier League won't miss Costa a jot.

 

[Keeps It tidy]

Celta Vigo would be a great first step in Europe for Lozano.

Marca: Mourinho wants Morata if De Gea goes to Real. Only two options: Either Real pay €75m, or €25m + Morata. Contact through agents and intermediaries.
IMO, this would make complete sense with Griezmann coming in as well to play behind Morata in case De Gea really wants to go to Real and Mou doesn't want to stop him, which seems likely considering his approach to "players who do not want to be here".

Oh, and Real value Morata at €70-75m, haha!

Would have preferred Isco to Morata, but it's good to see we're not going to bend over for Madrid. 75m valuation is crazy money for a keeper, if they want him that bad they should pay though.

Keep reading. Article makes it pretty clear it won't happen

Do we know this?

Yeah, I thought that was quite clear with the insane valuations you seem to put on him haha!

 

[KM]

Yeah no way we accept 25m+Morata for De Gea, they had their chance to get him for cheap during that fax saga, now he's going to cost a ridiculous amount.

 

[Anduin]

Do we know this?

I seem to remember an interview or quote somewhere around the time Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger departed. Maybe it was just part of an article and paper talk, but IMHO everything points to this approach. If someone doesn't want to be here, bring a club who pays our valuation and you can leave. Why else would we let the best keeper in the world go?

 

[Womp]

75 million for a benchwarmer, that's when you know everything to do with transfers is fecked.

 

[KM]

Don't post troll tweets here.

 

[leontas]

This should end all Conte speculation that's he returning to Italy.

 

[Maradona10]

Looks like he ahs convinced his family to move to London, would have been shame for him to have to return to Italy. We need to beat him to the league before he leaves.

 

[K2K]

I cant see him lasting 3 years at Chelsea.

True.

But the player will not be allowed to leave until that valuation is met. We seem to be charging higher fees since Jose got here.

feck feck feck!

 

[Dong Fangzhuo]

god damn it

 

[Duafc]

Well we can't buy everyone lads.

 

[Castia]

feck feck feck!

Where would he play for City though? they have more than enough of these att midfielder types.

 

[Maradona10]

 

[CM]

Yeah because what City really need is another attacking midfielder

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

feck feck feck!

How many AMs does Pep need?

 

[pascell]

How many AMs does Pep need?

As many as it takes to win the PL and compete better in the CL I guess. Smart move as they finished 15 points behind Chelsea, they're not messing about getting rid of dead wood either. If they get Fabinho, some solid wings back ie Mendy & Walker and a decent keeper then they'll be up there again next season, providing it all falls into place.

 

[Maradona10]

It has to be city. Or maybe their info is wrong, No reports from France YET.

while relying on that nut Fernando and a geriatric Toure to hold down the deeper midfield positions?

 

[pascell]

4-2-3-1 with Fernando and Fabinho holding/breaking up play.

 

[Reynoldo]

They's have Fabinho for that which again seems perfect for them.
