January 2018 Transfer Thread

[Aventus]

It is the continental thing to do - players buy themselves out of contracts all the time. It is how Neymar moved.

Yeah was a weird one that.

PSG payed neymar the £200m or whatever it was, and neymar uses the money to buy his own contract out.

 

What was the reason behind it? Seems like some kind of dodgy legal loophole.

[Lee909]

PSG didn't pay Neymar 200ml to buy out his deal. The Qatari government paud him 200ml to be a ambassador for the world cup. The fact he then used that money to buy out his contract and join a club owned by the same government is a massive coincidence

Oh right, fair enough that makes sense then, I feel bad now for assuming there was corruption.

Mahrez to Chelsea. Allegedly it was posted and taken down. After digging it seems that it is fake.

That should not be allowed in my view.

If players agree to a long term commitment/contract, they should not be allowed to pay themselves out of it.

 

I honestly believe it's unethical and speaks volumes about the players' character. It might be an old fashion view but loyalty has to be weighted-in somehow.

I assume you're equally appalled when clubs try to firebomb players out. Poor Mario.

[therevivalist]

A spot of fun amid the Coutinho gloom that.

Goes both way does it not?

Put me down on the Lemar and Oblak bus.

 

If that happens we’re in business.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Would have been a right laugh if we had secured his replacement in the 6 months we’ve had to prepare for his departure.

 

A right fucking laugh that would have been.

We have the top scoring wide forward in the league - just bought him

[INTORRESTING]

So he replaces coutinho, who replaces him?

[TheHowieLama]

Ummm -- he is not leaving.

[INTORRESTING]

Who comes into the starting 11 then?

[Babb'sBurstNad]

No one comes into the starting eleven to be fucked at.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Who comes into the starting 11 then?

 

We have played games recently without Coutinho, there is your answer. Not perfect, but until we hopefully bring in a new player we are hardly short on numbers. We even went without one or two of Coutinho/Salah/Bobby and Mane of late. 

[INTORRESTING]

Okay to scrape top 4 i suppose

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Yeah, bein sports though. Saying 50 million or there about and within the next 48 hours. 

[The Golden Eel]

It actually seems like there might be something in that.

 

The info is very specific.

 

Or maybe I'm just a mug.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I wouldn't be against such a deal as long as we go for our original targets in the summer. Mahrez can also be played on the right after the summer. Be nice if we could also bring in a keeper this month. 

[Aventus]

[emoji445]We all dream of a team of Africans, a team of Africans...[emoji445]

[Red House]

Pearce was denying our interest in Mahrez earlier, so if it's bullshit we should be getting one of his signature 'lfc are baffled' articles soon enough.
