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

[Gecklund]

Easy : Cozzi. There are some nice players on Strasbourg though. Simakan could be special.

What about Sissoko from Strasbourg?

 

[Chimaera]

It also helps that for the most part, clubs that are used to balancing the books by borrowing can take pretty low interest loans.

I like Fofana (Monaco) better and Chotard (Montpellier) much better.
Ibrahima Diallo, brother of Abdou has emerged as a DM at Brest. He once was a highly touted CB and failed there in the pro game, but this year he's been fantastic at DM.

It's called COVID19 and almost everyone is suffering from it so long as they don't have outside sources of income. You just stated part of the problem yourself, winning the Premiership. That should means millions in bonuses paid out.

Liverpool's relegated women underfunded and in disarray

 

[Cassano]

I feel we should've just sold him, as much as the team revolves around him. He's gonna leave on a free next season to RM/Barca.

 

[Cassano]

Considering Maguire got 80m, this is a reasonable ask.

If I was Chelsea, I'd rather sign Tagliafico (25m), make some sells (Bakayoko, Barkley/RLC, Zouma, Batshuayi, Jorginho?) and go all in for Havertz or Upamecano.

Like was for "should've just sold him" and NOT for him leaving for us.

I disagree. In this COVID19 market it's a big ask and anyone willing to fork over that much for him is dumber than a bag of hammers. Of course full power to Leicester for asking what they want. Like you said, Tagliafico all day for that sort of money and even then there might be better/cheaper options. I would assume a Wijndal could be had cheap enough. I think Chelsea were linked with Nuno Tavares as well, but Benfica like to be paid.

Chelsea landing Werner is a dream. Love that signing so much.

 

[Evilo]

Kouassi about to sign with PSG according to various sources now. He is waiting for his 18th birthday so that his agents get their money... Same agents who advised him to leave...

Anyway, Mbappe trying to convince Aouchiche to sign with PSG on Instagram . Awesome guy.

 

[Cassano]

Juventus reach deal for Marash Kumbulla?

Juve reportedly agree to €32M transfer for CB Marash Kumbulla.

Why? They already have de Ligt, Bonucci, Chiellin, Rugani, Demiral.

They're a mega club who always win their league despite boneheaded decision in the past 4-5 years.

And romero who will probably get another loan or be sold hopefully. Imagine spending 120 million on CBs lol

Lol damn didn't even realize they bought him.

I have no idea what they're planning to do TBH.

Juve used to be insanely good in the transfer market, back when they were signing Tevez for like 12m, Pogba, Pirlo on a free, etc. It's been horrible since they decided to buy the Serie A title when they paid like 90m for Higuain Lol.

They pretty much said f*** CL with higauin transfer. And decided to accumulate the most league titles before the other teams woke up.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

This guy is really good.

Torres is still raw but quite good. I don't think he's a Sancho level talent but they could do worse with the Sancho money. If I were them I'd be going for someone like Cherki or Ihattaren with that money though (Wirtz would be nice too, but probably not switching any time soon).

I don’t think Sancho’s leaving.

But I agree with your basic point. Someone young with potential, if Sancho leaves. We don’t need to bring in an established player. We have plenty of wing options between Reus, Hazard and Reyna. Brandt, Guerreiro and Hakimi (if he returns) are also potential winger options.

Grijpt Real Madrid naast Donny van de Beek door coronacrisis?

United interested in Van van de Beek apparently.

Now that would be a HORRIBLE signing unless Pogba is leaving.

Why?

 

[Gecklund]

Why?

Nothing to do with the player’s abilities just his fit. A midfield of Bruno-Pogba-DvdB would get shat on defensively. Especially with Maguire/Lindelof.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I mean he’s a good player, but unless he’s okay with being a bench player behind Bruno and Pogba I don’t understand the signing. He just isn’t a good fit for our team with our current players.

Maybe...might be worth exploring a diamond then. van de Beek is a very hard working and intelligent midfielder who can play defensively if needed (although I think he's better as more of an attacking 8). He reminds me a lot of almost a Muller like midfielder but he's better on the ball, and obviously less prolific playing in a less advanced position.

Yeah I agree that he can but it’s definitely not ideal. A Pogba/Bruno/vdB midfield would be very hard working but with none of them being defensive minded and the Maguire/Lindelof pairing being less than ideal at best, a team with a moderately good attack would cut us open.
