Summer 2018 Transfer Thread

[Numero Veinticinco]

Spurs fans still trying to blame us for overinflating the market and paralysing the transfer window for our rivals. Idiots.

Even if it was true, welcome to our world for 25 years, cunts.

Where's the January 2019 Transfer Thread, John?

[Moo]

It’s loan for a year that becomes a permanent deal for £18m with £2m in appearance add-ons and a 20% sell on clause. Sensational business by Edwards. Again.

I'm not so sure. I feel there must be a get out clause or two around his fitness, otherwise why don't Southampton just pay the transfer fee and buy him now? Hope I'm wrong cos if Ings stays fit and has a good season £20m will probably seem like a steal for Southampton with the way transfer fees have gone.

Bascombe said

 

“Despite both clubs insisting his next 12 months is part of a loan deal, the 26-year-old has signed a four-year contract until 2022. Liverpool will also receive 20 per cent of any future sale of Ings”

 

It was apparently something to do with a complicated payment structure which would have pushed the deal past 17:00. The initial year loan allowed them to get it done.

Yeah, agreed. He's doing good business. We don't panic buy, we don't panic sell to try to get a penny to spend, things are planned, we don't buckle easily, and we do things that are best for us and do it for the long term success rather than the short term.

 

Things are going *touch wood* well.

Happy days then.

Better than going 'Woodward' I suppose. 

 

I'll get me coat.

Meanwhile the Manc supporters are busy preparing a giant wooden man for Ed Woodward.

Spurs fans still trying to blame us for 'overinflating' the market and paralysing the transfer window for our rivals. Idiots.

Yet they want and always have tried to get ridiculous money for any of their players. Rats.

Just heard on Sky News that they’re blaming Brexit. Apparently deals are 30% more expensive than they were.

On the other hand, we've shown a commitment to large fees that we've never done before. Most expensive defender and goalkeeper in history in the space of six months.

 

Our people have obviously decided that prices will get even more obscene over the coming windows.

Yeah it’s just an excuse. That stadium will pay off in the long term, but I reckon it will be a millstone when it comes to the transfer market for the next 10 years or so.

Klopp all classy with his statement about Ings

I think it sums up what most of us feel, in a world full of pampered tarts Ings stood out, a genuinely nice guy who had fuck all luck.

 

Wish him all the best, obviously not against us though.

He's had more luck than most of us, and scores of millions in far worse situations than us, could ever dream about. He's played for Liverpool and already has more money than he'll ever need.

Okay then, fuck all luck comparatively if you want to be a pedantic arse.

Haha. Fair enough.

I remember the regular photos of him living it up with his probable model girlfriend whilst continually injured ( not his fault they were bad ones ) beaches, boats etc etc.

 

Real man of the people. Might just be me.

Wouldn't an organisation that has a turnover of hundreds of millions of pounds, that operates in a global market place, hedge against foreign currency fluctuations? Levy's too smart not to. Blaming Brexit sounds like a good, contemporary, excuse that the locals will lap up in London. 

[Aventus]

Anybody reckon that there's some behind the scenes rumours around Poch going to United next year?

 

United haven't backed Mourinho, so maybe they think the writings on the wall, and if he can't perform with what he's spent and the squad he's got then he's out.

 

And Levy knows that Poch is their next target for management, so he's pre-empting having to get a new manager in himself and plans on giving him this years transfer kitty.

 

 

 

Really gets the noggin joggin.

So are United, according to Daniel Taylor in the Guardian, 

[SasaS]

WHERE"S THE INGS MONEY!!!

 

No, where is that thread of yours with our net spend projections?

[Dr Nowt]

Isn't the best thing about football just the total lack of child's brain, one-upmanship bollocks getting spouted.

[sir roger]

Spurs could have had Jack Grealish for £30m , half of the fee that was being talked about for Ryan Sessegnon. They decided they didn't want to pay & that's up to them , but blaming us is diversionary tactics.

[Captain Turdseye]

Southampton’s medical department is much better than ours. Ings can only get fitter.

[Wezza]

Wasn’t that a D:ream song?
