Transfer Rumours Summer transfer rumour thread

Zouma apparently to hand in a transfer request to get his move to Everton, after Lampard said he wants to keep him.

 

Bale going somewhere then.

Pray he doesn't find out that there are players in Real Madrid reserves on that.

 

He is now....

Not sure there was anything imminent, imo this is Zidane just publicly ****ing him clean off.

Who can afford him? And given the package required and his injury record, who’s going to risk it?

I can see a loan move tbh.

 

Bale must be a toxic element in the squad for them to want rid of him so badly.

 

Not speaking a word of Spanish despite being there for years, can’t have helped his credibility in the dressing room.

 

Yeah bit embarrassing that. Why would you not want to at least get to a basic level of conversation when you’ve got that much free time?

One for the Brits abroad thread.

 

Shows arrogance, laziness or lack of intelligence, take your pick.

 

I wouldn't want my club spending big on him, like @Tobes says his injury record isn't great. Hope Spurs sign him.

 

I’d go with C. Seems like a nice enough bloke. Probably gave it a go and was ****e.

 

He's a footballer mate ...

 

You might have a point ... and if Zidane doesn't want you, you are on a bit of a hiding to nothing.

His best option is some form of pay as you play deal ... he doesn't need the money (and should be in for some compo as they are forcing him out) and a prospective club needs to manage (mitigate) the financial risk.

 

Agreed ... but if he has some form of dyslexia or something he's ****ed ... things may come out in the future... all seems a bit weird.

 

Reportedly, his family are very settled there and don’t want to move.

He’s also supposed to be on around £600k pw. He won’t get half of that elsewhere.

 

Do they speak Spanish?

 

The girl who takes his missus out shopping does.

 

...who will never ever play first team footy.

 

Would you give up the beach life of Spain for the ****hole of North London?

 

That well known coastal resort of Madrid.

 

His family don't have to spend all of their time in the city!
