Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

They've just announced the figures and they only lost... €481m?!

 

Not buying a certain Brighton midfielder in the summer suddenly looks like good business...

 

Diario Sport claim that Ronald Koeman is a great admirer of Tanguy Ndombele and sees him as the physical midfielder that Barca need

Please, don't sack him...

 

Wonder why Koeman didn't last at everton?

 

Barca gonna pay us in sangria and tapas dishes or something?

Mind you, if it meant getting him out, I may just take it.

 

Because he's ****. Virtually every job he's had was walking into a successful team.
He still managed to **** a load of them up immediately and most of the rest over time.
He followed Trapattoni, Hiddink, van Gaal, Pochettino and Advocaat into manager's seats.
He took over Champions League qualifying sides and brought them to the brink of relegation.
He's bloody awful.

 

Jose Mourinho is considering a raid on his former club Spurs as he looks to add to his Roma squad.
He's after Joshua Oluwayemi, who's out of contract at the end of the season, apparently.
Roma could sign a pre-contract agreement with him in January, if that's the case.

**** off, Jose.

 

I'm sure he appreciates being loaned out to sit on Maidstone's bench for half of last season...

 

Vlahovic Watch
And so the dance begins...

 

Brozovic Watch
So, £15m in January it is then?

 

Defensa Central report that Los Ladrones are trying to negotiate with Levy to lower Reguillon's buyback clause to €30m, rather than the €40m they agreed to

Well, first of all this story is most likely bollocks given that they're currently having to build a pit under the tier list to fit Defense Central into, and when you're lower than Fichajes you know you done ****ed up bad, but secondly can you imagine the carnage that would happen if Los Ladrones actually tried to do that? We'd probably bankrupt the entire nation of Spain

 

What the **** are they going to offer us to make it worth while ffs?

 

How much has Luka Jovic's value plummeted since they signed him to prevent anyone else signing him?

Or do they still charge a premium based on his other half?

 

Happens to lot's of players at lots of teams that. Remind me again of what Tanguy is worth now and how much Aurier increased in value?

 

Did we sign Ndombele mainly to prevent another team signing him, or did we sign him because Poch spent a year demanding we sign him?

Hardly comparable situations

 

This obsession of yours with teams buying players to stop others buying them is hilarious, you genuinely believe clubs spend millions on players (plus wages) who are not good enough to play for them just in case they are good enough to improve another team

Somebody posted a list of players City have bought for this very reason (could have been you i didn't take much notice of poster), every player listed became a first team pick for City and became a part of their rise to the top

 

Chelsea have made plenty of signings over the years that have certainly given that impression. Players anyone could have told them probably weren't good enough to improve their first team but who were also attracting lots of interest from other sides. Drinkwater, Morata, Bakayoko, Batshuayi, Baba Rahman all spring to mind.

 

Stop spamming your **** here, @Roy Munson .

 

Newcastle apparently interested in Dele Alli.

£140m and he's theirs.
