Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

I wouldn't mind Lacazette here tbh. If he wants to play with Griezmann they can play together here. :devil:
 
Atletico Madrid Statement-
The TAS maintains the prohibition to register players until January 2018

He partially estimated the appeal filed by Atletico Madrid, lowering the economic penalty, but maintaining the ban on inscribing licenses this summer.

After the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS) partially estimated the appeal filed by Atletico Madrid against the sanction imposed by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee in the case concerning the registration of licenses of underage players and that Ratified the FIFA Appeals Commission, reducing the economic penalty, but maintaining the ban on registering licenses in the next period of the market of signings, our club wants to state the following:

1. We consider that the decision to maintain the prohibition to register players in a second period, the one corresponding to the summer of 2017, supposes a comparative tort and discriminatory treatment towards our entity, since recently and in a similar case the Sanction allowing to register licenses from next July 1. This resolution is unfair and represents irreparable damage to our club.

2. The resolution was communicated outside the deadline established in the agreement signed by the parties and ended yesterday, May 31, 2017. This implies a lack of respect for our institution.

3. We wish to reiterate that we have been sanctioned despite strict compliance with Spanish legislation, Since we have always processed all our licenses through the Football Federation of Madrid, as indicated in the Sports Law.

4. Our sports planning for next season has contemplated at all times the two scenarios that could be given once the TAS emitted its decision. The club will advance from this moment on the negotiations necessary to formalize operations with the aim of registering players from January 1, when the next window opens in which we will be authorized by FIFA to register new licenses.

5. We are totally confident in our current squad, with which we have achieved the direct classification for the Champions League for the fifth consecutive year and with which we have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. From the club we have the commitment of players and technicians to continue competing at the same level next season despite this decision that obviously harms us. Together, team, club and hobby, we will continue fighting for our goals.

Basically saying they will sign players that can be registered on January 1. I think them wasting away a season will push Griezamann even more out of the door. A football player has a limited career years at peak, he would not want to waste it away to a team that cannot make itself stronger.
Also they will call their loan players back including- Vietto, Kranvietter,jota, manquillo,velazquez etc.
 
Asked if the ban means No transfer to United-

Says if clause is met only Griezmann can refuse the transfer and he has an agreement with united. Lacazette has agreed to replcae him.

FIFY
 
Considering Ballbag was more than likely the "Sky source" for the De Gea non-story last night. A story debunked in seconds by actual journos like Stone and Ducker, we should really just dismiss him as having any kind of relevance.

I thought pretty much everyone does already?

I'm surprised people are still allowed to post his tweets. He's a known bullshitter at this point.
 
There's no possible way both Jose and Ed didn't discuss this after these injuries happened IMO. Also I believe we were getting a defender anyway whatever Rojo got injured or not.
I believe we were getting a striker anyway whatever Ibrahimović got injured or not. They might have added another one after that, though.
 




I think that is what is left of the transfer. United will not want to pay 70-80 million upfront as that would be problematic. Not impossible.But difficult.
 
Setting aside the crap source.

If we plan to activate the clause why would it matter if he has asked or not?
Because if he's asked to leave its an easier process for us. If he hasn't asked to leave he could want to stay and then it would be pointless to activate it.
 
I doubt, financially, it's a problem to pay that much upfront. They can wrangle it, I'm sure. But if you do it for one team, then suddenly all other sellers start wanting more upfront, which leads you down a slippery path. At some point you have to take a stand.
 
Would be especially savage taking Atletico's best player while they're under a transfer ban.

Which is perhaps why, if we are confident none of the other big clubs will swoop in and match these demands, this could end up being one of our final transfers to go though this window. I hope that Ed, from previous experience, has learnt not to rest on his laurels when it comes to these big transfers.

and in a flash, the chance of a team outside of Real or Barca competing for La Liga will disappear for the immediate future. Although the ban being upheld could well have already achieved this.
 
Some people seem to become an expert on United's finances this time of year.

If Utd really want AG, they will buy him. They won't feck about.

City, Utd and maybe Chelsea can blow other teams away with their resources now.
