Summer 2019 Transfer Thread

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

I think we have someone lined up. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Only if they cost 12 million.

Moreno, Sturridge and now Lovren all gone.

 

This is up there with one of our best transfer windows for outs no question. All contributed zero for a long time and in Lovrens case was a liability

All 3 costing the club about £310,000 a week. 

 

Clyne would have gone to Palace as well if he he didn't get injured last week and that would have been another 70k. Mignolet is on roughly the same.

[Bjornebye]

Pepe done deal for Arsenal

 

Looks like Sane is going to Bayern as well. City would never have sold him to us but I'd have loved him here. Glad he has gone though. 

[Lee909]

Lovren has probably asked to go and fair play to him. He will want to play at his age and Roma a far better option than Milan. Good luck to him, nowhere as bad as some make him out to be. 

 

The Dutch kid can cover as 4th choice and Fabinho slotted in nicely there against Bayern

Great player. Glad to see him gone.  

 

Hopefully Father Time catches up with Aguero, Fernandinho and Silva too.

Lovren was excellent alongside Van Dijk whenever he played. He made one mistake in the City game, otherwise faultless last season. Sturridge was neither use nor ornament for 3 consecutive seasons. 

[El Rojo]

Yeah, Lovren wasn’t/isn’t half as bad as some people make out.

 

Not every footballer is Virgil Van Dijk. Unfortunately. 

[Boss]

The only way this window is saved is if we bring in Timo Werner just before the deadline.

He could turn out to be a bit like Sadio Mane, or he could be like the last Ivory Coast international winger Arsenal signed from Lille - Gervinho. Hell of a lot of money to pay either way.

Reckon Bayern have told him to sit tight and they'll force Leipzig hands at the deadline, or that he has pretty much signed a pre contract behind the scenes 

[Dave D]

Pepe could see Aubemayang move is the rumour

 

Tottenham now in for Bruno Fernandes.

 

Fuck it, Id just sign Aubemayang if I was Klopp, get Coutinho on loan and win the Charity Shield, Super Cup, World Club Cup, league and narrowly lose the league cup final on penalties to wolves and crash out of the FA cup in the 3rd Round to Bristol City

[Anubis]

No problem with Lovren. He’s been solid when he’s played since VVD arrived. Good luck to him.

 

Would love Sane but as Stig said, City wouldn't sell to us.

 

With an ageing front line I fully expect City to throw the GDP of a small South American dictatorship at Sancho and M’bappe next summer.

[3 Stacks]

Putting his level aside, Lovren is ageing, injury prone and we have 3 other good CB's. If he wants to go and the price is decent, you show him the door. But I doubt that Roma offer is real.

Most likely. I expect Hoeness and Rummenigge to start briefing the press about Lewandowski over the next few months as the club look to move him on.

[joe_fishfish]

Wonder who City will bring in if Sane does go. Don't think they'll be keeping their powder dry for next summer, somehow.

[Boss]

It was madness that the rest of the top 6 gave Arsenal a free run at Aubameyang. 41 goals in 65 games for Arsenal.

[Ronnie Whelan]

Sane leaving City feels like the equivalent of us signing a really good player. Now for a few injuries to their players this weekend and things are looking up.

No it wasn't. He's 30 and they've won nothing of consequence. Unless they win the league, it will have been a waste of time and money when it's all said and done.

I thought that initially 

But watched a fair bit of him last year and the goals mask alot. He was really ineffective in so many areas. Could see why top teams didn't try and get him. 

[The Golden Eel]

Yeah, he seems to do nothing for long periods then pop up and score two tap ins in five minutes. Which isn't a bad thing obviously but he's nothing special.

What he's won is irrelevant. His record speaks for itself.

 

41 goals in 97 games for Saint Etienne

141 goals in 213 games for Dortmund

41 goals in 65 games for Arsenal

Yea but he doesn't play for us so he's bang average. Try to keep up.

[Heinze]

Relax guys we have Lallana.

Yeah, but the goals mask a lot.
