Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

On the plus side, I think we may have found a solution to one of our problem areas...

 

So how much are Norwich going to ask us to pay for Max Aarons now?

 

Don't suppose any non-Turkish sources want to chip in?

 

You shouldn't mention chips in any posts on Danny. It will only lead to temptation.

 

Long term, it may be the start of having to sell him on the cheap. Short term, it's just another sign of the ****ing chaos that's going to need to be put right when Levy finally accepts that we have to sack Mourinho.

 

If the £20m buy-and-loan back deal for Aarons sounded implausible a couple of days ago, it's impossible now

 

So, three days to sell:
Aurier, Doherty, Rose, Sanchez, Dier, Toby, Winks, Lamela and Lucas and replace a few of them with some quality.

Don't know about you lot but I'm still optimistic...

 

So...loan out Gazzaniga and sign Kim Min-jae, then?

 

More sources jumping on the Rose to Trabzon bandwagon. Apparently WBA are/ were also interested but he prefers going abroad.

Here’s hoping it happens for his sake more than anything. Doesn’t deserve to be rotting in the reserves, even if he can be a bit of a cock.

So potentially one down, just another seven or eight to go. Boooom.

 

The Mirror report he wants to sit out his contract until the end of the season

The fact that two separate managers have told him to **** off was apparently too subtle...

 

Bild have linked us with a summer move for Ibrahima Konate

Honestly, this could be a smart piece of business: everyone else will be dogpiling around Dayot Upamecano, so we simply look to his CB partner who isn't getting the interest and sign him with far less hassle

And it has to be said, this is also somewhat financially smarter: both are out of contract in the summer of 2023, but Upamecano signed an extension last year while Konate's last contract extension was in 2019, and on top of that Konate has a €30m release clause which is active this summer, and given he's also got height (he's 6'4", while Upamecano is 6'1") and just so happens to share an agent with Ben Davies, Joe Rodon and Gareth Bale, this could be a smart move

Oh, and mean Eric Dier gets moved to RB or something

 

Red Bull?

surely you don’t mean right back

 

RosenBorg?

 

Looks like Rose’s move to Trabzon is in danger of collapsing due to the covid regulations of people from UK to Turkey (7 day quarantine ) and I presume Trabzon aren’t cool with it. Doesn’t sound like it’s completely dead but now unlikely more so than likely.

 

Wasn't he supposed to be signing a 3½ year contract? Can't see that being blocked because of a delay of a week.

 

Translation: Not being allowed to send scouts to the UK, Trabzon were reliant on a highlights video sent to them by Levy. They just clocked that the digital stamp on the video was 2017.

 

Turkish sources, gotta love 'em...

 

Rose cancelled the gig.
Thought he was going to be eating turkey for 3+ yrs, not going to it.

 

Couldn't fit him through the plane door, huh?

 

Had to pay for 2 seats.
