Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

Juventus are apparently going strongly for Matic at the moment, might not be straight forward still!

Matic will go to juventus. Watch this space

Not with Matic it appears. The article says that Chelsea are even more reluctant to selling Matic to us after the Lukaku deal hijacking. And with the Walker transfer, I don't think Spurs will entertain a Dier bid either, so our options seem to be drying out.

Oh yeah I know that could happen, however if it does it means we finally move on to other targets which brings us one step closer to it being wrapped up.

No matter where Matic goes it will speed things up for ourselves.
 
Err, no, if they keep Matic then they have no need to buy Bakayoko. They are having to replace Matic because he wants to leave.

So, I repeat, why is he so keen to leave the reigning PL champions?

I don't think that's the case. I think it's a mixture of Chelsea looking to add abit more youth to their midfield combined with Matic being quite limited.

Bakayoko will get up and down the pitch a lot more than Matic which in a 343 makes sense

So that means we are looking to pick up their cast offs? No thanks Chelsea, sell him to Juve.
 
Why is Matic so keen to leave Chavs then?

He actually was one of the few who loved mourinho seemingly during his time there. That plus the pay rise plus he probably doesn't want to risk losing his place with Bakayoko involved.

Seems very odd that they'd replace him with a lesser player in Bakayoko though.
 
Bit of a change from yesterdays "not entertaining any deal" if they now "set price".
Yes but now the problem becomes them setting an unrealistic price. Perisic will force his way out no doubt but we will have to fork over quite a bit for a player who in my estimation is not worth anything more than 30m.

But again, they set the price so if we want him that badly, we pay what they want.

3 at the back limits the need for a DM and I don't particularly rate Bakayoko but if Conte can improve his concentration levels a lot he can be very good.
 


Matic needs to force a move to us. Just refuse to go to Juve. Chelsea will not want to keep a player in last 2 years of contract not playing. He value will be rock bottom next year. We will get him, if he wants to move to us.
 
Matt Law loves Chelsea :lol:
He's actually a Villa supporter who seems to be the main Chelsea mouthpiece. I've learned not to take what he says very seriously this summer because he's linked us with about 25 different players.

Would help if Perisic made his intentions to leave known to Inter (if he hasn't done so already). But as you said its up to Inter, they don't need to sell so we have to pay. Makes me wonder if we are trying to keep the costs down as much as possible as the fees may be required elsewhere and while we could easily pay Inter what they want we are trying not to. Besides it making good business sense obviously.
 
Matic & Perisic aren't great signing in my opinion. However if Jose is that adamant on getting them, I will accept it.

I think Perisic would surprise a good few people, Matic doesn't have to be great, he just needs to be good and allow Pog and Harry to be great.
 
Bayern's transfer dealings were great until 2 years ago...
They haven't made any 'great' signings since.
Renato has been a flop and they overpaid for him. I feel the same might happen with James.
 
This isn't sitting well with me. There's something going on here.
He fell out with the Juve manager and players, nothing else to see. He nearly left last year too.

My bad. Didn't know that. Did he want to stay in Italy? Is that why no one else was really in for him?

Yes apparently he has an ill son, his wife wanted to stay in Italy.
