Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

But we dont have unlimited resources this season. Lukaku, Belotti, Mbappe all effing cost 100 m euros or plus. Ibra is injured. Abamuyang is gone, Cavani is not linked . Jose is bound naturally.

No one said we had unlimited resources but I think he'd prioritize the key money on the #9 over anything else, his teams always have that strong line leader, he'll get what he needs even if it means positions some fans want to have are ignored until the summer after.
 
Griezmann re-signed less that 12 months ago, around end of june 2016. How on earth could this already be another contract/wage stunt? I just can't see it.

TBF it does seem like Messi and Ronaldo renew their contracts every six weeks or so; the minute one of them announces a new deal then the rumours start about the other being in talks - maybe Griezmann is just following their examples.
 
Didn't he just sign a contract with Atletico last year? He has 4 years left on his contract. I would be surprised that he was trying to get a pay rise after all he's done and said in the last few weeks.
I know he renewed but didn't release it was only last year, I thought it was 2/3 years ago.. that's what transfer window has done to me, driving me mad already!
 
Since hes allowed




EDIT:

It's all true: Manchester United and Griezmann reached an agreement on personal terms. Now Mufc trying to negotiate to cut bit of clause

So you expect us not getting griezmann but a 9? Rashford and martial should share the burden of a 9, Who knows they might shine .
 


Rangers sign Bruno Alves from Cagliari. Sky are saying they're also close to securing Carlos Pena from Chivas and Graham Dorrans from Norwich.
 
Wasn't he claiming Pogba to Madrid until the last min last summer? Tried to hashtag the fee?

Out of curiosity: Why would Atletico negotiate with MU? They know we are willing to activate the clause so there's only more money in it for them, and if we don't activate it they get to keep Griezmann. Seems like a win/win for them that way?
 
It's alright for Tottenham to sign Sessengnon and give him plenty of games as there wouldn't be much pressure on him even tho they finished 2nd this year. If we were to sign him and started giving games to a 17 year old big money signing then every touch of the ball would be analysed and criticised.

I still think we are negotiating the payment plan, and not the amount
 
I hope these Fabinho rumours are true and Matic ones bs. Unlike former Yugoslavians, Brazilians can play football.

Except Modric
 
Well, The Barça of dream team had a good group of basques, Bakero, Goikoetxea,Txiki, Salinas. Even Cruyff said that he signed basques because the catalans weren´t brave enough. Personally not a big fan of Martínez.

Alexanko, HOW COULD you forget Alexanko :lol:

I thought after Herrera, Valverde might be targeting players he already worked with as most managers do, but was unsure if he got to train Javi Martinez, then the anecdote happened

Valverde coached Athletic from 2003/2005 and 2013/2017
Martined played with Athletic from 2006 to 2012

Not only they perfectly avoided to be in the same club, Javi Martinez was signed directly from Osasuna in the 2006 summer so chances are Valverde hasn't trained Javi Martinez a single day of his life despite the fact that between both of them they cover the last 14 years of Athletic's history
 
Yeah, doesn't seem like we should pay attention to what he says, though his tweet was retweeted by some Canal+ journo.
Thus reiterating the muppet craze and drawing more in. Someone should do a thesis on media manipulation on the mind of transfer muppets.
 

Mbappé says no to City of Pep ... thinking about Real Madrid. According to @jfelixdiaz

Classic Marca. They are trying to gloss over Real missing out on Aubameyang (he only wanted Madrid, remember?), by putting forward the "only wants Madrid" player they are actually interested in... eventually. They even say he is willing to wait for the right time to join them.

It's a smoke and mirrors nothing story like how they bigged up that crap midfielder Barca ended up signing to deflect from them not having a chance in hell of getting Poggers.

Not only that it's a Marca article, is signed by Jose Felix Diaz, that's like Ivanka Trump writing some article for Fox News about how great Donald Trump is.

Never trust a thing signed by Jose Felix Diaz, he's a lackey of Florentino Perez

Martial isn't a 9 for José. Rashford still has much to prove, I'm not convinced he is a 9 myself.

No, I think we'll get Griezman, a #9, a DM and a CB, it will be the other spots like the wing and LB that get overlooked to make sure we get the #9 this team badly needs, if Jose indeed has to sacrifice one to get another for budget reasons, we don't know what him and the board have laid out in terms of expenditure. However if it came down to a #9 or Griezmann, I think Jose would opt for the #9 as Griezmann isn't going to thrive anyway if he doesn't have a #9 that can hold the ball up playing in front of him.
