Transfer: 2017 Summer Transfers and Rumors Part VIII

[bleedblue1223]

So they should just quit and not try to get anyone. Got it. No where except London is an overly attractive location in England. Doesn't seem to prevent transfers to Manchester. Salah came from Rome which is much nicer than Naples by the way.

Why do you act in absolutes? Just wait and freak out once the window closes.

Any time now Klopp. I called that this would happen weeks ago (and some of you lot said I was crazy )

Tottenham Hotspur defender Kevin Wimmer is in talks over a £15 million move to West Bromwich Albion.

Signed for £4.3 million from FC Koln in May 2015, Wimmer made only four Premier League starts under Mauricio Pochettino last season. His departure suggests that Spurs could be making progress in their attempts to sign Davinson Sanchez from Ajax.

And he was in talks with Southampton over a 22M euro move a few days ago. Not sure what to trust. I do find it weird that we would want to make Vertonghen our only left-footed defender.

Suarez reportedly out for a month with a knee injury.

This could get crazy.

An ideal finish to Chelsea's window would be Matic, Ake, Chalobah, Traore, and possibly RLC. All would be reasonably affordable in today's market and provide the proper depth and enough quality to fill out the squad. Hopefully they can complete those signings in time.

Don't you know? Tottenham is only allowed to have center backs from Ajax. Duh.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Now it's Kalinic's turn to miss training. He's forcing a move to Milan.

Passlack hasn't shown enough yet to be considered Piszczek's heir. They could have used a right-footed Guerreiro type player.



Yeah. It's also great from Passlack's perspective. He gets to work with Nagelsmann, who has honestly worked miracles with the technical ability of a lot of his players. If Passlack can develop his passing under Nagelsmann like Vogt has, he will come back with a strong case for a starting spot.

Speaking of, god damn has Vogt become a good player under Nagelsmann.

He really stood out to me in the Liverpool game. Made quite a few very important interventions and was quite calm with the ball and mobile.

Vogt impressed the heck out of me midweek. I don't know if he can play in a traditional back 4, but he does wonders in that formation. People his size shouldn't be able to move like that.

Less weird than not selling Wimmer for 15m.

Ideally you want one left footed CD - especially in a 3-4-3, but it's not a huge problem playing with three right footed players. It's not like in the old days when many defenders could only pass and tackle with one foot.

On a hockey forum - best player available - then sort out the rest. Alderweireld might be gone in 12 months. Get a left footed guy then.

Watzke had some harsh words for Segura in regards to his comments about being close to signing Coutinho and Demeble.

"I can’t explain what Pep Segura says. Maybe it’s because Real played his team dizzy in the Supercup."

Costa said he has no intention of coming back and will head to Madrid as soon as he can. Comes during rumours of them possibly pursuing legal options against Costa.

Not sure if the quote is correct word for word. It's a quote off Reddit.

I don't think they are making Liverpool or Dortmund more eager to sell with these kind of statements. They have a history of questionble method when signing players in the past(Fabregas for example) and they are proving it once again

I hope..I hope if one of them go, they sell Jan and give Toby a massive raise. He's younger and better.

The growth he's made since arriving there as an uninspiring 6 is really something. He reads the action so nicely from that neo-sweeper role and his confidence & competence on the ball has grown immensely. I'm sure Nagelsmann's organization taking pressure off him to make tough decisions helps, but his technical growth has been significant as well.

With him & Hubner that TSG back three just needs Bicakcic, Nordveit or one of the kids (Hoogma / Akpoguma) to really make the third spot their own...and for Grillitsch / Geiger to establish themselves in the Rudy role between the back 3 and the front 6.

Coutinho se queda. James Pearce says the owners absolutely refuse to sell him.

 

[YNWA14]

Barcelona are going to implode this season.

Still, I really don't want Coutinho anymore after the antics he's pulled. If he's acted like this throughout this transfer 'saga' then I'm not overly confident he'll be performing the way he should be on the pitch. Maybe he proves me wrong, but I'd still prefer to bring in a replacement for him now.

Gabriel has joined Valencia. Good riddance

Think they might keep to struggle. Messi(and Suarez) aint getting any younger. And besides MSN last season they were not that good. Average keeper, average defenders and average midfielders(well you get my point. They are still good players but not good enough to win La Liga or Champions League if it weren't for MSN). MSN carried them the last few years. Once Messi starts regressing they have to find quality players at different positions

If he wants to leave, he'll play well in order to stay in the shop window. Like Suarez and countless others.

Like i said before, players like Coutinho and Dembélé have 0 leverage.They can pout as much as they want as they just hurt themselves in the end.

It would be great if Liverpool did...something

Arsenalfantv: Man City's 45 million pound bid for Alexis Sanchez has been rejected. Rumours are that Man City will increase it to 60 million pounds. Wenger on the other hand said he's NOT for sale since a replacement for him is not available (cough*Lemar*cough).

I wonder if Arsenal go back for Draxler since they were 95% close of getting him a couple summers back. Besides this, almost ZERO news for any other player coming in for the Arsenal.

I liked Gabriel and would have been an awesome CB from the bench. If Arsenal sell him, Chambers, and Jenkinson, that makes us awfully weak in the CB position. Then we would have the likes of Mertesacker (oh God no), Koscielny, Holding, and Mustafi as just the CB's.

Kolasinac has all the qualities and strengths you want for a CB, but I don't think he's ever played there in his life.

We still have a lot of players who could be sold; Debuchy, Chambers, Campbell, and Perez. Others, but I doubt they'll move are Gibbs, Wilshere, and Coquelin.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Some of the really really stupid decisions in the past are biting Barca in the ass right now. Like why the **** did they sell Thiago? They could've used him now.

Its a world cup year, he has to produce, or he wont be named to the Brazilian squad.
