Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

Didn't want to accept 70M from us but take 61M from Milan, well done Perez!

Wonder if @carvajal still believes £79M was fair after now selling him for 60M.

Felt sure the way Jose was talking that he still wants Morata and if the price has dropped to this he might be back in for him again - Real will probably say give us Dave (why no contract extension for him other goalkeeprs got 4 yr deals)

we could push for Morata and another player maybe, Dave finally gets his move and we get Morata his move too

All depends really on Dave
 
Seriously, £75m for Keita?

Now granted i havent seen a lot of him, but as if hes worth it. That money would get you better. Surely?
 
I know Milan has a big booster behind it now explaining the splash of cash, but can someone explain the appeal to playing there vs in England or Spain? Lesser competition overall, stadiums that look small or often make the Emptihad look full.. Etc
Other than living in Italy of course, which I'm sure can be very pleasant with the amount of cash they ll make.
When did you started watching football?

You know there is more football outside the Premier League?

It's a ridiculous price for a player who's only had one very good season at the top level so far.

I don't think they had too much competition for the players they signed. Plus, some of them like Bonucci wanted to stay in Italy.
 
Liverpool are holding a press conference informing the media about their intention of tapping the player up

Together with an official letter with apologies for tapping the player dated 18/07/2017
 
If Damian leaves and we don't sign a full back, we're going to regret that. Valencia and Shaw are certain to get injuries. Blind is worse at football than my dead great gramdma

Actually think hes one of the better players in the squad. We do need another fullback if Darmian leaves though
 
Christ, Perisic should be resigned to the old folks home. I'm 31, I had better start making arrangements for when I'm gone and hand in the retirement papers.

I never said Perisic will retire because of his age. I said he can't play every minute of every game cause he will be tired compared to some young winger like Dembele or Lemar, Perisic could also have some injuries. Perisic's pace will go down after he crosses 30.

Robben was 31 at the last world cup and seemed quicker than his supposed peak years. He had more than his fair share of injuries aswell.
 

Neymar contacts PSG. Could benefit from Barca's obsession with Verratti to become the best paid player in the world.
 
It's a little disconcerting when people are saying players who are the same age as me are getting too old.

I don't feel all that bad but now I'm worrying that I'm in physically fecked and just haven't noticed yet.

Did I say anywhere that "Perisic is too old, let's not sign him"?

I'm 40. I'm amazed I managed to get to work today, because reading this forum, I should have had a stroke after walking 5 yards.

It depends on the context, if you are a professional athletes 28 isn't necessarily young. In Cycling you are almost a baby, in Gymnastic you are an antiquity, in football you are supposed to be in your absolute prime.
