Transfer: 2020 Summer (we think) Transfer Window Rumors, News & Discussion part 2

If he's as smart off the pitch as he is on the pitch he would steer clear of that.

Is that what you got from me sharing the valuation I saw reported by Sky Sports?

I'm poking fun at the others. Prob shoulda responded to a different post.

 

[Power Man]

Wow Werner is a great addition, considering Lampard has donewell with that young team

 

[Cassano]

Pulisic-Werner-Ziyech sounds lethal

I see United fans happy that Sancho is inevitable for them, but I saw a rumor that Real is going to be interested in him next summer. With that, I think he'll be Real bound, too hard to compete with them.

Great signing for Chelsea as much as that sucks to say. 49 million release clause is a freaking steal. Gotta think if he did not have that the starting price would be 100 million.

 

[bleedblue1223]

I'm just amazed that we've gotten Ziyech and Werner prior to the window opening. We usually drag these things out and it falls through at the end of the window. Refreshing to just get things done early with top targets.

Does this open up David going to RB Leipzig?

That was my first thought as well. Would be a great stepping-stone for him!

I could see Dortmund nudging him out the door this summer so they don't risk a much lower price next summer with one year left on his deal+revenue going down.

Real and Dortmund already have a relationship with the Hakimi loan. Could see Hakimi being apart of a Sancho move too.

If anything I've seen the opposite. From everything i've seen fans have been burned by Woodward so many times that no one pays attention to the rumors anymore.

Of course there's always Beckhams_Right_Foot_MUFC on twitter who screams "HE'S COMING LADS" at every rumor but that's every fanbase.

Maybe I should've worded it better, didn't mean it as a dig at Man U fans. It is logical since the heavy rumors were Chelsea and Man U for Sancho. I think it'll be more complicated with Real having interest. Man U will get someone big, Sancho, Havertz, Dembele, or someone.

Maybe they want to pair the Super Hazard Brothers together

i'm not confident. it's very likely a Woodward special is incoming, where he screws around on many of those targets, loses sancho over money and ends up way overbidding for Grealish*

*who is a good player in his right but not Sancho

Grealish would be a good pickup, but also not Sancho.

One of those is not the same

Yeah, Eden needs a friend to eat nachos with.

Yeah, I was leaning to not putting Dembele (Lyon) in, but I just know he's high up on United's target list.

Hazard is the Phil Kessel of the soccer world.

Damn that's a good move by Blood Money FC, getting him from out of nowhere, but at least twenty million pounds cheaper than what he's currently playing like. This is a pretty big slap in the face for Abraham though, I get it that Werner is better, but it wasn't like Abraham was doing poorly either. It still doesn't fix or help their defence though which is still the weakest part of their club.

Havertz rumors value him at £50m

The latest rumour I saw was that Real turned their focus from Pogba to Havertz and hard to see Kai choose Northwest England over Madrid.

No Money.

Lol, no money? Try being an Arsenal support and saying no money without winning anything. You lot spent like 140 million on two core players for your team, Arsenal is trying to sign another freakin' striker because one doesn't know if he wants to stay or not.

I love the cross sport comparisons. I used to compare Fernando Torres to Gaborik and have definitely seen Hazard/Kessel before too

Yes - No money. Liverpool operate on net spent. Coutinho paid for Alisson and Virgil (and more). Those players don’t come in unless Coutinho leaves. No big sales, no big signings. Look at the math.

 

[Live in the Now]

Unless a team is owned by someone with massive stakes in natural resources, there is no way to spend money this time.

That's fine and all, but saying no money to a team that won the CL title is like a joke to me. Try being a support of a lower end club that dreams of a CL spot.

Or a team in la liga/Serie A... what he said was valid. LFC dont have money to buy Werner. Has nothing to do with them having more money than Arsenal or mid table sides in the EPL. It's about relativity

Sort of, oil and gas still hasn't bounced back to what it was pre-COVID. The stock market at least in the US has not really been responding to what has actually been going on, so the rich have made huge gains. Some say it's just a graph of rich people's feelings. If an owner isn't overly tied up in sports investments, then they likely haven't lost that much and have probably gained wealth.
