Transfer: Summer Transfer news and rumors discussion part 8: Messi stays, grudgingly

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I'm hearing the rumours of Lautaro to Madrid too

I hope you signed the petition!

 

[East Coast Bias]

Both Marca and Romano reporting United are in negotiations with Madrid for Regulion for around 25m euros.

Shaw is always injured and If I never have to see Brandon Williams again I’ll be thrilled.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Barca could exile Suarez if he doesn’t leave. He’s acting like a spoiled kid at this point.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

They’re taking way too long to just get rid of these guys.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Reguillon would be a great pickup for United if they can get it over the line.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Reguillon would be a great pickup for United if they can get it over the line.

It'll draw out till deadline day I'm sure. VDB is the outlier for our transfer negotiations.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Well sevilla signed their LB in Acuna so Manu has a “free” run at him.

still amazed at Tagliafico not take for a similar price. He’s twice the player. Plus easier to deal with Ajax than Madrid.

he's also 5 years older than Reguillon. Which definitely is a factor for United. They've thankfully (I hope...) seemed to realize buying 27/28/29 year olds wildly isn't a great strategy.

Players progress differently there’s no guarantee that reguillon is better in 4 years than Tagliafico. Considering the matters work rate. He will be effective even at 32.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Under Emery, he was the team’s biggest offensive creator. The offense ran though him making cutback runs for the two elite strikers in the 18-19 season. He is rather poor defensively and on huge wages since he was signed on a free coming off of a Bundesliga team of the year appearance.

He has no place with Tierney and AMN emergence at his position.

Hammers also interested in Chelsea’s. Emerson.

Just about any LB will be an upgrade on Cresswell at this point.

 

[AB13]

Torino about to sign Torreira for 24 million. So that is 44 million for Martinez and Torreira, no excuse to not bring in Aouar and/or Partey now.

 

[bluesfan94]

Please not Partey

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Reguilon will be a great purchase. Stop wasting time on Sancho for this summer. Sign this guy, beat your Manchester rivals to signing Koulibaly, bring in a cheap option for the front positions, and that’s a good window for United.

 

[AB13]

Please not Partey

Definately not my preferece either, but we need a DM badly and are not linked to any other CL quality DM. Partey is still a good player. Who would you bring in instead? Soumare who we have had a few links to? Looks like a physical and strong but also modern dynamic press resistant midfielder. I would like Rice to be honest

 

[hatterson]

Yea, not just that it was done early and without a ton of back and forth, but that it was basically done with no media attention. The first real rumors of it were at the "yea it's basically done" stage.

 

[Gecklund]

If we are spending all that money on a CB, I’m going for Upamecano instead of Koulibaly. Not that KK isn’t better but he’s also like 8 years older.

Upamecano isn’t being sold this summer.

 

[Gecklund]

Upamecano isn’t being sold this summer.

That wasn’t the rumor a few days ago. I’d rather wait then if he isn’t or go for Pau Torres. I have close to zero interest in KK.

If we continue to play 3 at the back, I'm not too worried about a traditional DM.

 

[Spoiled Bratt]

Aouar should be our top priority at the moment and having him link up with our forwards would elevate this club for a possible top #4 finish.

 

[AB13]

Well we definately will need an upgrade on both Xhaka and Ceballos to have a top 4 quality midfield. The rest of the squad is good enough. Not sure if a three is sustainable long term either

Toronto FC acquires Tony Gallacher on loan

This is a pretty cool signing for TFC.

 

[The Abusement Park]

That wasn’t the rumor a few days ago. I’d rather wait then if he isn’t or go for Pau Torres. I have close to zero interest in KK.

He just signed a new contract this offseason that has a higher release clause that comes into effect next year. I think it’s like 60mil or something, so if he was to be sold this year it would have to be a good bit over next seasons release clause.

Then go for Pau Torres. That’s be a good signing.

I’m nearly sure Upamecano isn’t leaving this summer.

I’m fine with that too. All these guys are better than Lindelof and at least equal to Maguire. The only guy that should be in our back line (including keeper) is AWB. De Gea, Maguire, Lindelof, and Shaw aren’t good enough. Henderson could be good enough but hasn’t shown it at United yet so I won’t judge him just yet. Get Reguilon, a young CB this window and a RW on loan (Bale/Costa) and then next window, Sancho and another CB.
