Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

First signing confirmed...

 

I foresee some Micky Flanagan tomato sauce-type moments. Probably involving Micky Flanagan and tomato sauce.

 

Reports in Italy say that Milan are offering Torino €80m plus one of Niang, Bertolacci or Lapadula in exchange for Andrea Belotti

...are they still interested in Sissoko? Because if they are, cash + Bertolacci would be nice.

 

Man I miss this guy... I'd still take him back now, even if he'd probably only last about 7 minutes a match in Poch's regime

 

Saw this tweet a week or so ago but it's flashed up on my TL again, superb

 

“There is no agreement right now with any club, there are several clubs from England, Germany and France scouting Under but no deal. I have heard about the Lille rumour, there is no offer like is being reported but they are interested and considering making a move. We are waiting for the right moment but Cengiz will play in Europe and his club want the same for him. It is just a matter of the right time now, his club and manager Abdullah Avci deserve a lot of praise for taking a risk on him and giving him the chance to prove himself.” - Omer Koray Uzun, agent for Cengiz Under

I hate to say I told you so, but...

 

Well that's Ünderwhelming.

 

Hardly ITK talk that we were signing Messi, was it (file under "meh" ) .

 

Good news! The annual story linking us to Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has been put to bed early by him signing for Ajax.

 

Has the Bentaleb to Schalke move been confirmed yet? I recall an official anouncement midway through the season that they had agreed to make the move permanent for something in the region of £15m. But not a peep since then.

As per most seasons, there is no question that we will need some outgoings before incomings are sanctioned. Being as it is that I can't see any of Sissoko/Njie/Nkoudou/Fazio/Wimmer going for more than Nabil, his transfer is probably an important dominoe to get things going.

 

Iirc he played a set number of matches and so had to be bought...think it was last December and was on the previous transfer thread.
Think it was for around £12-15 m

 

Rumours that we're confirming Lopez soon

 

Emmanuel Adebayor has been singing the praises of Cengiz Under, so we all know what that means...

It was confirmed back in February, although the transfer won't be completed until the end of his loan period on June 30th.

 

Yeah that announcement you speak of was the confirmation, the OS mentioned that he'll join them permanently at the end of the season as the fee had been agreed. He's a Schalke player now.

 

Would you have him back now if he were available?

 

Nope, way too injury prone now. Real would probably want the amount we sold him for too. Too big a risk in my eyes.

 

FFS. Anyone else believe this for just a second?

 

Reckon Sissoko could throw a spanner in the works re him coming to us.

Also, not sure how Sonny will be feeling atm, seeing as the only players we've been seriously linked with are Lemar and Sessegnon !

 

I've seen worse photoshops, to be fair. Some were even on our official site!

 

Worse ????

He's got Kyle Walker's arms ffs !!
