Summer 2018 Transfer Thread

[Grinch]

Yep, and the hilarity of him developing into the player he should at their biggest rivals would be something else!

 

Not that much of a stretch that the player and/or agent will know this too.

You're right, it would actually give him more leverage in negotiations. I like it. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Martial on a free next summer would be a dream. He would be quality under Klopp.

I don't rate him.

 

United only have 2 good players imo: the goalie, obviously, and young Gashford. He'd be the one to jump in for if the gnome continued to hamper and marginalise him.

[Anubis]

Martial is quality. He's had his natural game surpressed under Shitcoat. Put him back in his natural position as a striker and he'll get you a shit load of goals.

[Jose Jones]

Man U only have two good players?

Give over CD.

Liverpool are preparing a €30m (£26.3m) offer for Lazio star Thomas Strakosha.

The Reds are searching for a replacement for error-prone Loris Karius after his disastrous performance in the Champions League final vs Real Madrid.

The Albania goalkeeper has impressed for the Aquile and could be a long-term solution to the Reds' problem area at just 23 years old.

With Roma looking for up to €90m for Alisson Becker, and increased competition from Chelsea,Strakosha could prove to be a more affordable option, according to TuttoMercatoWeb

[Numero Veinticinco]

He's certainly highly rated. Probably just thrown out to get Roms thinking.

I read somewhere that Lazio signed him for £68,000. That is typed correctly. If that's what £68,000 gets you in goal, how did we end up with Karius and Mgnolet for probably 150 times that, possibly more?

[Remmie]

We need an Albanian in the team, make it so

Because they bought him at 16/17 years old

[Numero Veinticinco]

Imagine the uproar if we got an unknown 16 year old Albanian for €75k instead of Alisson.

[ZonkoVille77]

We're going to be linked with every single Goalkeeper in world football before this window is shut.

[Grinch]

I don't rate him.

I've the exact opposite view on that one.  THink Rashford is your typical over rated English player.

[Grinch]

He's certainly highly rated. Probably just thrown out to get Roms thinking.

 

We'll buy your rivals keeper of you don't sell us yours, I spot a problem with that one.

Depends on how badly they need money.

Martial would be a massive risk. I think it would take him a long time to fit into our way of playing. He’s played for 2 massively negative managers on the wing in his most formative years. He’s obviously very good at dribbling but that’s all I see with him. He’s not going to come in and displace Firmino. He hasn’t got the work rate or intelligence of Mane or Salah either and I’d say they’re both better all round players than him as well.

 

Klopp has shown he isn’t the sort of manager to just buy good players. They need to fit his profile and system. I very much doubt he’d bring in Martial.

 

Separately I just can’t see Fekir coming here. That’s just my gut instinct.

[VladimirIlyich]

They both want to play in midfield. I'd try Henderson at RB for a couple of months. Yes I am being serious.

A few years back when he played there he was excellent but that was before the niggling injuries appeared and the pace went. Too late in his career to do that,for me.

We are obviously interested in him, he’s definitely for sale, he wants to leave and has repeatedly been asked about us and refuses to rule it out. He’s even being named dropped by half our squad. On top of that there are no firm links to him going elsewhere other than perhaps Chelsea who haven’t qualified for the Champions League whilst the team he worked so hard for have. I can’t see how this doesn’t happen to be honest.

Why?

 

Lyon are a selling club. Always have been. Always will be. Just need to thrash out a fee.

I’m just guessing really. I think that you shouldn’t listen to anything in the press generally. I know our players have spoken about him but then I doubt that the players are being told by Klopp who we are trying to sign unless they have a personal relationship with them. I know he’s not ruling it out but he’s hardly been over enthusiastic about t either. I’m sure he said he wanted Real to win the champions league as well.

 

I think the Fabinho transfer made an absolute show of all these ITK twitter accounts and journalists though. Even the journalists that might have links within the club are now either not being told things or are under orders to say absolutely nothing. I think Castle’s being the one to break the Buvac story adds a little weight to the latter argument.

 

It’s funny how these bellends were tweeting stuff like “the club expects to make another signing within the next week.” Strange how you know that but didn’t have a clue about Fabinho. It’s almost like you’re completely making the whole thing up for attention and followers.

I'd rather take a punt on another ex-Manc in Depay as our other attacker/striker.

[The Guest]

Why?

 

Lyon are a selling club. Always have been. Always will be.

Calling a team a selling club means absolutely fuck all. It’s a phrase that’s beyond irritating because every team other than about 4/5 in the world sells their players. Southampton were a selling club but it didn’t stop them not selling Van Dijk in the summer didn’t it. There’s been a load of clubs over the years who haven’t sold to us. Personally I have a feeling If he does go he’s going to end up going to somebody else.

[The Woolster]

Said the same on the MF yesterday, especially if we are bringing in Fekir as they will already know each other's games

[Rushies tash]

Fekir will become this season's Lemar.

[Jose Jones]

Fekir is definitely the saga of the summer.

Martial over Depay for me, but neither are going to happen, so doesn’t really matter.
