Summer 2018 Transfer Thread

[amli]

Just seen the Manchester Evening News article and it looks like they’ve just copied the Wiki page and replaced the ‘around 17th May’ with ‘it will open 17th May’.

Can’t be sure but the guy who said Midnight this Sun/Mon seems more clued up, this is what he said -

 

“It says that the transfer window opens on 17 May. I have also seen this date mentioned by the Manchester Evening news but it is wrong. Whilst FIFA say that national associations must allow a transfer window of 12 weeks this is what the FA have (9 June to 31 August). It was the Premier League's decision to curtail that period - they don't get to simply move the entire transfer window that is set by the FA's notification to FIFA. That is a collective agreement by the Premier League.

As mentioned previously domestic transfers can happen from midnight this coming Sunday/Monday. Incoming international transfers between 9 June and 9 August (for Premier League).“

From Wiki which only mentions ‘around 17th May’

 

“Premier League clubs in England voted to end the summer window on the Thursday before the start of the season - on August 9 in 2018, instead of August 31. Because FIFA demands the window must be open for 12 weeks, the window will open around May 17, shortly after the final games of the season on May 13. Clubs will be able to sell players until August 31 but not buy replacements after the deadline of August 9.”

 

 

Also seen this which adamantly claims the 17th May quoted by Manchester Evening New is wrong.

 

“Domestic transfers can happen from midnight this coming Sunday/Monday. Incoming international transfers between 9 June and 9 August (for Premier League).”

 

 

Perhaps the 17th May might have left them short by a half week of the 12 week period so they shifted it forward by 4 days to the earliest possible date (the last day of the season).

 

The Echo said the 17th although they are part of the Trinity Mirror Group same as MEN I think.

Anybody got anything further on Baby Keith?

[Lario]

Apparently Shaquiri has a £12m release clause following relegation.

 

Anyone?

[Lee909]

Absolutely not

[sir roger]

I like him, but he is never going to be fit or keen enough for our pressing system.

Anyone?

He’s a fat little fucker..so no.

[Boss]

I'd rather have Arjen Robben on a free than Shaqiri.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Shakira and Pique for me.

[Josef Svejk]

Shaqiri is very talented, but has a bad attitude and appears to dine with Charlie Adam...

[Red House]

So, who's heard of the cunt?

 

Liverpool in pole position to sign Diogo Leite from Porto (Guardian)

[The Acolyte]

WHO?!

[Josef Svejk]

Teenage defender?

 

Yawn.

[Lee909]

Young CB

Article say the idea is to buy him (15ml buyout) then loan him out for a year

So now we've got 15m we can piss up the wall for a year with no idea whether it will dry out or stink out the gaff?

[Josef Svejk]

Our last teenage defender from Portugal was a massive success...

[INTORRESTING]

If we had the first team sorted and a bench, I wouldn't mind such moves but speculating when you need first teamers is not the way to go, especially when talking about 15 mil!

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

If his agent is Mendes and we sign Neves? Conspiracy!
