January 2018 Transfer Thread

[Carvalho Diablo]

I wonder how much Thiago Silvia might cost these days? I know he's cracking on a bit but he's still a class act.

[Harry Squatter]

He'd probably want about 10m quid a week

[Carvalho Diablo]

Bit fucking tasty this Colombia vs Brazil game. 62 minutes on the clock and some wicked challenges flying in.

 

Hope Firmino gets subbed off whilst still healthy.

[Boss]

I don't understand why we don't trigger Toby Alderweireld's release clause and offer him £150,000 a week wages.

Must of been subbed right after you posted this

Yup, our Bobby off and City's Jesus on. Hopefully Jesus will get the shit kicked out of him.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Tell you what, despite being the world's most expensive ever footballer, Neymar isn't half fucking crap.

 

Coutinho is on.

[Carvalho Diablo]

I don't understand why we don't trigger Toby Alderweireld's release clause and offer him £150,000 a week wages.

Both him and Vertongen are both really good.

 

Would still prefer VVD though. {sigh}

[Ne Moe Imya]

I don't understand why we don't trigger Toby Alderweireld's release clause and offer him £150,000 a week wages. 

 

I would assume because we've asked and been told that he's not interested.

 

If we haven't at least asked then someone at the club wants sacking.

Clause isn't active until 2019

[Thoth]

No doubt we will be just lacking that wee bit of luck getting transfers over the line

[El Dangerous]

Whats the release fee for Toby?

[Strontium]

Whats the release fee for Toby?

His contract ends in 2019 but Spurs have an option to extend it by a year. That would activate a £25.4m release clause. If they failed to activate the extension, he could leave as a free agent.

[General Dryness]

Yup, our Bobby off and City's Jesus on. Hopefully Jesus will get the shit kicked out of him.

 

If he doesn't put in a decent shift the fans will crucify him.

[A_S]

January window should be for loans only.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

January window should be for loans only.

It is for us.

[A_S]

It is for us.

If that!

[Jairzinho]

January window should be for loans only fucked off.

 

Agreed.

[INTORRESTING]

We won't be able to pull out of the deal then.

Robert Lewandowski has been slammed by Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge after he questioned the club’s transfer policy.

 

Over the summer Bayern signed Corentina Tolisso from Lyon, Niklas Sule from Hoffenheim and Kingsley Coman on a permanent deal from Juventus, as well as James Rodriguez on loan from Real Madrid.

 

Lewandowski recently told Der Spiegel he wanted the Bavarians to compete for the best in the transfer market, with Paris Saint-Germain signing Neymar for £198m and Kylian Mbappe during the summer window, while Barcelona paid £97m plus add-ons for Ousmane Dembele.

The Polish striker said: "Bayern will have to come up with something and be creative if the club wants to keep bringing world-class players to Munich. And if you want to compete at the top, you need to have these quality players."

 

However, Rummenigge has taken exception to his remarks and slammed Lewandowski, whose agent said the player was "disappointed" over a perceived lack of support in his hunt for the golden boot last season.

 

"It would be a pity, if he actually saw it that way. Loyalty is part of Bayern's DNA and very important to our fans," Rummenigge told Bild.

"For a long time now we have a serious and successful philosophy that brought us big success. I stick with our chancellor who said the fees should be regulated and reduced.

 

"Obviously Robert was irritated by PSG's transfers. He is employed with us as a football player and earns a lot of money. I regret what he said.

 

"Whoever publicly criticises the club or his team-mates will get in trouble with me personally. He already made false claims last season following the Freiburg match, where he claimed he had not been supported enough.

"I don't think the player's might is that high. And Lewandowski can see that when he looks at his contract. He signed until 2021 without an exit clause.

 

"Regrettably his agent often is his 'Spiritus Rector' [guiding light]. That was the case here, too. The interview was consciously organised around Bayern. He harms Robert with that."

[The Golden Eel]

As in bodyslammed?

[INTORRESTING]

off the top of the cage?

 

de vrij and van dijk?

[Chairman Meow]

The Polish striker said: "Bayern will have to come up with something and be creative if the club wants to keep bringing world-class players to Munich. And if you want to compete at the top, you need to have these quality players."

 

 

I don't really see much wrong with what he's said, he's stating the bleeding obvious which applies to every club outside of the likes of PSG, Man City etc. 

[Megadrive Man]

I don't understand why we don't trigger Toby Alderweireld's release clause and offer him £150,000 a week wages.

 

It's a similar release clause to Naby Keita, £25 million release clause becomes active in 2019.

[G Richards]

Go all out for VVD in January. If they won't sell, move on to De Vrij. We have to improve at the back.

 

Then let's go for Goretzka. He's winding his contract down and looks to be leaving in a free, like Emre. Let's offer them a few bob to try to bring him here in January.

 

Beyond that, Keita is coming next summer. Great news.

 

Then our big signing should be Werner, with hopefully Origi doing well enough to command a decent fee next summer if that's what we do.

 

VVD, Keita, Goretzka, Werner and we are a title challenging team.
