Transfer Rumours Summer 2024

That would be more like it.

 

His “entourage”. Jesus. Doesn’t say where he would be loaned to. And also doesn’t sound like the amount we can get from them

 

That’s just a translation thing. Will mean his agent/manager.

 

Yeah doubt we will get that but if that is the sort of figure it would be worth selling at whether we needed to, to invest further or not.

If it happens hopefully it is somewhere in the middle

 

I’m not sure it necessarily does. There are stories of players with a large group of hangers on

 

Which we know that Charly doesn't, so...

 

When it was incredibly close to signing Charly I remember Tim Vickery really rating him as a Lampard type player that would really fit into English football when many South American players struggled.

 

Do we know this? I mean - good. But how? An assumption due to all the homesickness talk? Or something else ?

 

Other English clubs don’t seem to agree as none seem interested in signing him at the moment

 

Apparently Forest fans want to get rid of Awoniyi so they can sign Giminez. Since I assume there is absolutely no way we can afford to get the latter ourselves the former might not be the worst option in the world. They presumably will want a profit for him which will make him at least £20m. I mean a real profit not an accounting one because that would be generated by anything over about 10m

I assume they want him gone over wood precisely because he can generate a cash inflow ?

 

Nobody has ever seen Charly with an ‘entourage’. Ever. And by all reports he’s a fairly simple living, humble kind of fellow. You’re putting an awful lot of stock into the use of a translated word.

 

Personally I don't care whether Alcaraz has an entourage but... here's the original tweet:

Here's Google Translate:

So yeah, I'm going with a translation thing. I'm sure one of the Spanish speakers on here can confirm one way or the other.

 

Joachim Anderson joins Fulham for £30m, he’s a good player. With Guehi looking likely to be off Palace look like having a very changed side from last season

 

Would need a Spanish speaker for context. And maybe even an Argentinian because of differences. Entorno doesn’t directly translate as “entourage”. Don’t even know how the English translation got that. Its environment or maybe “people around” (which could be just one or two and probably is).

 

Why would Palace make this sale? Seems like a very odd one. I guess it’s a lot of money for him but still seems like an odd choice. Style related with the new manager? But isn’t that their first choice defence potentially going. Now to check if they’ve recruited central defenders. There is a German one going for their German manager …

edit : they started with 3 CBs and will only have three if Guehi goes

 

Indeed. My wife has an Argentinian friend but I'm afraid I don't care enough to start asking about this.

My guess is it would probably reported by English media as "his team" or "his representatives". Something like that.

 

Yeah it’s not that big a thing. Seems a pretty bungled translation though. Especially because I would expect entourage to perhaps not have a true Spanish translation and it end up being something like “gang” or something to that effect. No idea how it got to that translation though

 

The things we argue about on here

 

Guys can we keep this sort of thing for the 'Spanish translation' thread please?

 

That’s the ‘Argentinian Spanish translation’ thread, just to be clear, to avoid confusion.
