Transfer: 2019-20 Winter Transfer News, Rumors, and Discussion Part II

I just think it's silly to count an injury of 5+ months differently than a permanent loss of a player due to a release clause.

If a 5+ month injury is an emergency that justifies a signing outside of the normal window then having a player removed from your team outside of your control should also count as an injury.

You then would have an endless cycle of release clauses until there is the poor club left at the end with no partner. It's why the emergency transfer shouldn't exist IMO. Have it be open to free agents, but besides that use your reserves and youth.

I don't disagree with that, I'm just commenting on the logic of losing a player temporarily being more significant than losing a player permanently.

I agree with you on the impact being as significant.

Why are you not a fan of Grealish?

character issues. I think he’s all for himself.

“Character issues” and being all about yourself aren’t the same and there’s no evidence towards this other than what you perceive.

I’m not rewriting the dictionary here buddy. I was asked why I don’t like him. I stated why.

You also claimed a guy had character issues when that doesn’t even line up with your opinion.

His character issues are well documented going back years. Do you know his history?

I’m aware of things that he’s done that I’m sure all of us did as teenagers.

Speak for yourself.

So you didn’t go out and party? Good for you.

Are you suggesting doing a Nancy Kerrigan on your own player right before he gets bought out?

He can’t be trusted. He lied his ass off to the Irish FA and management team. He went on binges mixing alcohol, drugs and nitrous oxides many times.
He’s failed drug tests, pictured face down in the street gutter (literally) and you think I want this guy anywhere United? Hell no. I don’t want the negative press he’ll bring or possible off-field problems. If he thinks he’s got it “bad” at Aston Villa wait until he plays for one of the biggest clubs in the world. You can’t even fart without it getting reported.

Tons of smoke about Timo Werner to LFC that it is almost burning...

Klopp not denying today in an interview. Klopp basically said that the comment by Werner that Liverpool is a great team is flattering and better than somebody telling it's a shit club and then laughed.

Now LFC top journalist James Pearce just claimed that he would actually be VERY surprised if Werner is not a liverpool player by the expiry date of his release clause.

I assume you hate Rooney, too, right?

If Pearce is that confident (he is) that holds A LOT of water.

 

[Chimaera]

I mean, if the clause is real, and he’s open to going, they would be stupid not to go get him. Though that means some finagling with players to keep everyone happy

 

[Elliman]

He’s a scouser, so naturally....yes.

 

[The Abusement Park]

He’s a scouser, so naturally....yes.

You’re a united fan that hates Rooney...?

 

[Gecklund]

He’s a scouser, so naturally....yes.

And that’s all anyone needs to see about your opinion.

 

[Elliman]

What? All drugs and no banter?

 

[Cassano]

Yan Couto agrees deal

Some reports out there mentioning that if Sokratis isn't going to get more minutes, he's going to take the high road out. Ummmm, yes please Artera?!

Reports also state Demiral is a targeted replacement. Don't know how to feel about that, he looks like he has great physical ability and can be dominant at times but also seems very prone to error and lapses in concentration. So basically another Sokratis. He has much larger potential though.
