Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

My prediction :Bale will be the one leaving, will move to PSG. He's an old used toy for Perez now. Benzema will never leave.
 
In terms of the fee, that would certainly be true. I imagine they'd have to offer Sanchez something like double the salary, though.

Hmm he'll sure have a pay rise at City but not too much imo. I don't think his problem is in the salary or wages. I think he wants to join City to have a shot at winning the league but Arsenal wants to sell him to Bayern instead, hence he's asking for a ridiculous wages from Bayern to force them out and force Arsenal to sell him to City.
 
Interesting, you wouldn't have a #9 for Ronaldo to play off then, Mbappe isn't a #9, he's more of a SS or LWF.

What has been rumored is: if Mbappé comes this year then according to Zidane, Bale should leave. Even some media wrote about PSG.
In addition there will be soon debate on Bale / Asensio / Isco, and in that case the Spanish press will go directly against Bale.
However right now that option seems very far in my opinion. I don´t see Bale accepting to go to France and the news around him are very calm.
I miss a rumor from a Premier League team to believe it.
It is also true that we are still in June.
That is why I chose Benzema, purely by elimination, although it was also said that he would renew soon.

Apologies, I worded my post badly. What I meant was that Sanchez's salary demands relative to Dembele's would probably mean the overall cost of each deal during the course of, say, 3 years, might be broadly similar, even though Dembele's transfer fee would likely be greater.

Well then, fair point, I must say.
 
We should be all over Lemar or Dembele if they do make moves this summer. I don't care about 'systems' there is no way anyone including Jose Mourinho is selling me the concept of Perisic over one of those two, absolutely ridiculous.

Understood mate, you really do have luxury problems. :D
 
If Benzema moves are we in trouble? As in Morata might stay then?
I don't think so. Morata's actual stumbling block is Ronaldo. Benzema was preferred simply because he has been the better foil for Ronaldo. Morata at times would be in the area Ronaldo occupies, instead of making sacrificing run to draw the defenders away/ masking Ronaldo movement. That's only tactical side of thing though. Perez is known to make decision that defies logic, so anything can happen :nervous:
 
Benzena out, Mbappe in and Morata still on the bench and you think he'd want to stay?

If it was down to him, he'd leave. That much seems to be clear. I don't see Madrid going into next season with only one striker, though (especially if that striker is an 18 year old kid). I think Morata only leaves if Mbappe (or some other forward) comes in and Benzema stays.

What system? His system is fecking broken.
We indeed should try to get one of the two, if not both of them.

Dont forget CR7
 
This has been by far my most productive summer transfer window. No sagas to speak of. I'm getting a lot more work done. Thanks Woody.
 
Well one things's for sure. If we indeed are not in the race for the likes of Shanchez and Dembele, Mou will have no right to complain about us being not at the level Manchester United should be. Our own fault if we aren't going for players like that when they become available.
 
RVP? Surely that deal, along with the Welbeck one, showed that United and Arsenal can do deals with each other. Mourinho may well be a problem though.

Maybe he simply doesn't want to join us and prefers City because of his relationship with Pep and he knows Pep's system very well so it's a guaranteed success for him ?

I don't know why people here don't put the player's opinion factor in mind. We won't enter the bidding war for a player unless we contacted him and knew he wants to join us, otherwise we will bypass him to other targets. Sanchez might not want to join us, nor even Bayern. I think he only wants City.

That's exactly how transfers work. You first get a feel of the player to know if he is keen on joining you. If he is not, you try to persuade him to change his mind. If he is still not keen, then you don't bother wasting any resources chasing such a player. It's as simple as that. No matter how much fans dream of signing a player, a club will never go after him of he does not want to join them.

Nah, Wenger has become a bitter cnut and even refused to let us sign Debuchy.

I don't think he wanted to sell to another rival and the same applies with Sanchez as well.

I agree, I don't think Sanchez wants to come here. On paper he's exactly the sort of hard working offensive player Mourinho loves, but that doesn't mean the player wants to come here.
 
There are very few rumors linking us with wingers. You know - the ones that can beat a defender and swing in a cross, the one who can burst from the touch line near the byline and pull a ball back. The only player of that type we have is Valencia and we are only linked with Perisic. And we definitely need such a bloke.
We must be doing something under the radar. I would be really surprised if we don't pull such a deal - I would call it a fail of we don't sign a true winger.

They might prefer to go elsewhere. Really nothing we can do in that instance.

People think just throwing enough money will tempt players.

The same guy he fell out with and got sold by?
