Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

Never said Can was average myself. I have actually been able to watch him a few times and he is pretty impressive. I am glad he's leaving for Juve.

Fair enough. Can shouldn't forget how underwhelming he was under Brendan and that it is klopp who has got him playing about the level he should
 
Off to Barca in January.
That would be a stupid move for his career, he only wants to move from Athletico because he wants to win things.

Barcelona are a mess at the minute and won't be winning anything until the board and president etc are all sorted.

Who does he replace? Suarez? Messi? Dembele? Coutinho? Who could make the switch next summer too.

I think he will end up at United, he fits in here, we have a postion for him and his favourite number is free too.

We also have the French speaking contingent with Martial, Pogba etc the Mourinho mentioned recently in his press conference, it all fits.

P.s AgentP :devil:
 
I think I'd be more worried if we were competing with Real for Griezmann. Barca might just edge our team but we represent a new challenge, a better league, we can give him a higher wage than Barca, we have quite a few French speakers in the team and maybe even some of his mates, I think he'd fit better in our system and he can the big star here. Obviously it is hard to say no to a team like Barca but he's already won silverware in Spain, the only thing left would be CL. If we had Griezmann he could win a PL and maybe even a CL.

We need Agent P to get this over the line!

Given that the number 7 shirt is still vacant and there were no attempts to sign anyone who could conceivably fill it, you'd have to hope so.

Especially as Ibra is almost surely only staying until the end of this year. Would be a seamless transition in terms of replacing attacking players.

Griezmann and Lukaku would be all kinds of devastating.

Atletico signed him after they won the league.

Hasn't he won nothing at Atletico?
 
Griezmann isn't joining an Atletico rival ffs.
Looking at the character of the man I would be shocked if he decides to move and it isn't to us.
Its as inevitable as Ronaldo to Madrid in 08, posters are just too close and skitterish to see it
 
Why will He choose us instead of Barcelona, though?

He already made clear that he doesn't care too much about his club when he tried to get a better contract.

It's just when a signing seemed so 100% set, and the guy for even noble reasons decided not to move, thus turning us down, then we're obviously not his priority.

I'd be amazed if we had this lined up for January. Would be an amazing mid season boost, along with Zlatan's first game back.
 
He's a mercenary, like everyone else.

Every player in existence tries to get better contacts.

He cares so little about his club that he turned down a move to stay with them because of their transfer ban.

You're talking nonsense.
 
What really fecks me off is that so many players say that the Premier league is the best league in the world and yet they would rather join the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Juventus because they want to win titles. No they don't, what they want is to join a league where there is very little competition for them. They don't want to earn it they just want it. At least if you win the Premier league you would have had to earn it regardless of what team you play for. Surely that would be more satisfying

That's because those are the best teams in the world giving them the chance to win the biggest prize in club football, the Champions league.

Depends how competitive Atletico are. French/German/Spanish clubs in the recent past have displayed great patriotism in favouring selling their best players domestically rather than abroad for the overall good of their league, if Atletico follow this European trend then he'll go to Barcelona, though you get the impression if Atletico tell him they'd rather he went abroad, then he will go abroad (to us).
 
I actually feel a wee bit sorry for the Hammers. I was on KUMB the other day and read the saddest thread. It was about a Hammer who didn't feel like a Hammer any more after the the dildo brothers had sold their ground and moved to a soulless rented stadium. So after hearing this utter nonsense by Jr Dildo, I popped over and the old Hammers seem deeply embarrassed by this and their chairmen.

(But then I remember it is the Hammers, and any feelings of empathy seem to evaporate :))



And why do you want to take such a short term view on things? Sporting is quite a good supplier of players, or potentially so. Guess WHU won't be doing business with them for the foreseeable future.
