Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

Can't help but feel quite sorry for him.

The first two clubs we loaned him too didn't need him and the third club he ended up getting an injury at. If this one now ends up being like the first two then whoever's sanctioning these loads needs a new job.

 

I wonder if Inter fans were calling Amrabat a "basic midfielder" a couple of years ago?

 

His loan to Leeds was less they didn't need him, more that somebody at the club can't count given they loaned in six players that summer including Clarke so that meant at least one would miss out on matchday squads every week, then loaned in a seventh in January

 

OL also denying that a fee is agreed with Newcastle for Guimaraes, though you’d imagine that just means talks are ongoing. That would be one to swoop in on if they didn’t apparently want the entire fee up front, which isn’t usual for transfers.

 

Goons are fuming on social media about him possibly going Toon. Quite funny if it weren’t for the fact we’re also fuming at our own issues

 

Some reports that Valencia have now agreed with us terms to take Tanguy for the rest of the season, so now up to the player and PSG as to where he goes. I think PSG need to make room.

 

If the Valencia negotiating team show him pictures of sangria, paella, churros and some tapas dishes, he’d snap up their offer in a heartbeat.

 

PSG supposedly want him to fix their HG balance

Oh hello, French Tax is now a thing...

 

Their French over 21 players:
Kimpembe, Mbappe, Dagba, Kurzawa.
I think Gueye counts as HG, Ebimbe will count next year and Mbappe's off to Madrid in the summer.
They could definitely do with balancing that out.

 

That does make a significant difference, although with Paratici at the club, I'm more inclined to believe we'd deal better with the agent ownership issue, anyway. He will have been involved in signing a few South Americans and will know all too well how the game's played and how to resolve it..

I am a bit mystified as to why we're pursuing a forward who plays on the left, when we already have three to play that one position and the same number of midfielders to play in three slots, if we play 3-5-2. I guess it didn't stop us buying Gil, when we sold Lamela and Bale, leaving the right side significantly lacking in cover.

If it's part of a significant rebuild and Conte still gets the level of striker, midfielders, wing back and centre backs he needs, then great...but it's an odd place to start unless the money's coming...and, well you know...

 

Maybe they're seeing if they can get him in and if so, then they'll approve the Bergwijn to Ajax move?

 

Could be. His ability to hold onto the ball might be missed this season, but it's about having the players in place for next season.

 

Kessie subbed off by Ivory Coast with what looks like some sort of muscle injury in his side.

 

Too right...every other mofo hates the sight of me

 

We're into our 26th year together...she says she'd have got less for murder

 

I don't (well, I mean not since I "outsourced" that part to your class pupils ) .

 

Romano reckons that Diaz would be interested in joining us contrary to some earlier reports, personal terms won’t be an issue either, literally down to agreeing the fee with Porto.

Ally Gold’s even said we’re more hopeful of the Diaz one happening than the Traore - works for me!

 

You wouldn’t even negotiate with a club if you hadn’t spoken to the agent first to confirm player interest in a move. Let’s hope we can get something done because he looks a player.

 

To Dare is to Enquire.

Have we signed the Moroccan Stambouli yet?
