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

[Savant]

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.

I’ve been there. It is what it is. Liverpool don’t have money right now. Is that better?

The only PL teams with money are Chelsea and the Manc teams

I saw someone say that Liverpool has something like 150M outstanding to pay for transfers they've already made, 2nd most in the league behind Man U. Is that true, that would explain why they aren't spending.

 

[Gecklund]

Man I’d love Havertz or Sancho at United (shit bring both in). Would never get stuck behind a parked bus ever again.

Rashford-Martial-Sancho
Havertz-Pogba-Bruno

that’d be the best front 6 in the league. Granted this would never work defensively unless Pogba is okay being the DM (which he has the ability to do just not the desire).

And the Red Sox aren't playing so the owners can't use the money from that for anything. They also had planned to expand the stadium again and probably have to wait. They also built a new training facility and had planned to sell the land the old one is on. For now they can't even move to the new training facility.

There also probably won't be full matchday revenue for teams for at least a year. Whatever plans that almost every team had are now gone. I read that Spurs had to borrow 200 million pounds.

Red Sox traded Mookie Betts to not pay higher luxury tax

Chelsea trying to close the gap between the top 2 with that signing. Still think they should sign Onana as well.

Onana has been bad this season. I think he’s overrated.

I think it's likely Kepa gets another season. After COVID hit, I just don't think it's realistic to sell him somewhere and bring another in. If anything we'll find a vet that is competent enough to play if needed, someone like Ben Foster.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Does this open up David going to RB Leipzig?

Maybe, but they still have plenty of options. Werner hasn’t even played that much CF this season. Schick hasn’t been bad as a back up. Poulsen is the main CF. They’ll buy someone. I don’t think this’ll effect them that much.

Good purchase for Chelsea. I’m not a huge Werner fan, but he’s not a bad player. He’ll definitely help. Adding Werner and Ziyech to Pulisic, Abraham and CHO gives Chelsea a potent attack. Now they need to fix their keeper position, and buy a new LB.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Pulisic-Werner-Ziyech sounds lethal

Play Ziyech as the CAM, Werner on the left, Pulisic on the right, Abraham as the CF. They need someone better as the CAM than Mount. Abraham shouldn’t lose his position.

More like this opens up David to Liverpool.

Could make sense, but same reason I was concerned about Pulisic to Chelsea. If it doesn't work, it would be devastating for his development because the playing time won't be there.

The name that I saw most connected to being a Werner replacement was Milot Rashica from Werder Bremen

 

[Savant]

Same. Onana has not impressed me at all. Don’t think he has been the same since the CL Semis last year when he gave the game to Tottenham

CAM will be Ziyech or RLC IMO. Mount will now be in the right spot to actually develop his game instead of just being thrown in for lack of options.

I forgot about RLC. I’m a big fan of his game. When’s he going to return? I think Chelsea is about a year or two off from challenging Liverpool. They are much closer than United, Arsenal or Spurs.

He's back in full training. He was close to returning when everything shutdown. Seems like every manager views him differently, so I'll be curious if Lampard views him as a CAM or box-to-box.

Yeah, and I looked forward to that guy playing for my team and he probably won't ever even take the field for the Dodgers.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I think Klopp would rather don't get anybody then get someguy as their #2 target.

My bet is liverpool do not purchase anybody but they keep Origi, Shaqiri, Wilson that they were considering selling this summer. The only guy I can see go are Lallana and Lovren.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

 

[Cassano]

IDK, but for me Ederson seems suspect. He may have a chance to start a few games, I think Bravo's contract is running out.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Going to City was a mistake for him. Like Howard with Man U back in the day, it just not realistic for him to be a full-time starter at City.

And even if you aren't an Ederson fan, City will just go out and buy another high-end keeper, they won't give it to Steffen.

wtf are they doing with their money... They have been in net spend for most of Klopp years as manager.

Wrong. He is off to germany.

 

[Savant]

If I’m Stefan I’m staying as Man City #2

take the year of coaching from Pep and develop in the cup games. Also who knows-Ederson can get hurt. Look what happened to Alisson this season.

 

[YNWA14]

Wrong. He is off to germany.

Why is this response not surprising.
