Transfer: Summer Transfer news and rumors discussion part 9: Alex Morgan to Spurs

It’s gonna be funny when Ed tried to haggle the Sancho deal down from 120mil and fail only to pay 65mil for Ismaila Sarr on deadline day.

If I am Dortmund I am raising that 120m price tag. They have Utd by the stugots if they want Sancho. Why settle for just 120 if they are desperate? Especially with the season already underway? Dortmund have all the power here.

I would too.

There's no reason to raise the price tag anymore. We'll get at least that next summer. There was a deadline that they didn't meet.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Good price

With Barcelona making an official inquiry about Dest, Bayern have upped their interest. They are close to meeting Overmars’ demands of 25M. I expect a deal to be done shortly.

 

[Evilo]

@Evilo know anything about this guy?

Amiens signed this guy from a lower austrian league, never played a match IIRC and now he's gone.
Seems really weird.
Can't tell you anything sorry.

 

[Evilo]

I agree, but getting rid of a disgruntled player whose constantly injured, hasn't justified his transfer fee, and who is a bad professional could be good for the team. All those guys are talented. Barcelona doesn't lack talent. They lack a good mix.

You need to stop posting some nonsense about Dembele all the time.
Don't act like the ex girl/boy friend who got dumped.

 

[Evilo]

Ahh yes the big bad Juve.

What's the point of Juve wasting money on a bribe if he isn't going to get his passport in time. Now he's joining Atletico and Juve got Morata because they couldn't sign him or Dzeko.

You have three scenarios.
1- Juve bribed whoever is charge. It would only make sense if he would he get his passport in time. But if Juve did bribe them than they are idiots because they wasted money.

2- Suarez could have bribed them.

3- The person in charge could have helped him pass because he's a sports figure. It's not the first time it happens. Schools help their star players pass exams all the time.

He had his mark before taking it.

Cat Radio is reporting that Barca are in "advance" talk about him. As per usual anything regarding barca 90% seems to be bs.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Sigh...

Can't wait for Woodward to panic buy Sarr, Douglas Costa, Malcolm, or some other overpaid, overpriced RW'er because he bungled the Sancho negotiations, only for him to go to Liverpool next summer.

 

[I Eat Crow]

United haven't had a plan since SAF "retired".

Mourinho really wasn't kidding when he said a 2nd place finish with his squad was his greatest managerial achievement.

Moyes and LVG were gongshows.

Either sack Ole at the end of the year, burn it down and rebuild from the ashes with Poch, Simeone, or another half decent manager that will embrace the challenge, or ride with Ole and support him in the transfer market. He's gotten 0/3 of what he requested this window. Until a DOF is brought in and Woodward f***s off, United are going to seesaw between 3rd and 6th place and a quarterfinal place in the CL at best for the foreseeable future.

Keita Balde going from Monaco to Sampdoria on a loan with 10M option.

Yeah, we’ll see. I think Bayern is a safer bet with Barcelona’s financial problems right now.

25M is cheap, though, I think. Dest has an intriguing upside even if he hasn’t proved a whole lot.

Well with Semedo they should be able to match. Plus with the Ajax connection and Dest hopefully wanting Barca so, it could happen but not getting my hopes up.

How far he has fallen...eek

Mourinho spent 300m and finished 2nd in a down year for the PL. Then burned it to the ground. And blamed everyone else. Like he always does. the guy spent 75m on Dalot & Fred, got fired, then bitched about how the club didn't support him. FOH.

As much as I have reservations about OGS tactically as a manager, he's done a great job with the squad, despite the McGuire deal. He's the first manager to actually try to rebuild, play youth, bring in transfers that make sense long term, etc. He's the first manager that has thought long term and hasn't tried to just patch holes to keep their job.

He's decided to move on from a ton of the dead weight (Young, Valencia, Sanchez,etc). I can't fault him because Woodward blows transfers daily.

I dont think he's going to be a manager that wins the league or anything, but his time will hardly be a failure. As a manager, would you rather take over this squad, or the squad 2 years ago? not close for me.

 

[Evilo]

St Etienne has yesterday rejected a new Leicester offer (3rd offer total) for Wesley Fofana : 32M€....

I think this summer is the one for me that made me realize that as long as Woodward is here it won’t matter what manager we have. It doesn’t really matter when the board clearly only cares about getting top 4. Every time the club finishes outside the top 4 they invest a lot, but they never build off promising seasons like last year. If they really cared about building a winner they would’ve backed their manager and gotten him at least 1 of the 3 positions he asked for. But instead they stoked they get to cash in the CL $$$ and once we struggle this year they’ll invest enough to get us top 4 next year.

As much as losing SAF hurts losing Gill has hurt us even more long term. Woodward and Judge are ruining this club and until they’re gone(or the Glazers sell) we will never be better than 4th place team.

Suarez deal done to atleti for the 7th time. Semedo also done. And Fulham offered 18 million for todibo. Finally moves

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Lampard's insistence to play Mount is maddening to see. It goes back to when he coached him at Derby County. I'm not even a Chelsea fan, but Lampard won't let this go. He'll even play the kid out of position instead of giving CHO a run in the team.

Mount was *at absolute worst* our fourth best player last year, and very probably our second best. You don't know what you're talking about with him.

 

[The Abusement Park]

This shit just writes itself.

Chelsea fans make so many excuses for this guy. Quite simply, he doesn't produce numbers. He's not the same caliber of player that Werner, Abraham, Pulisic, Havertz, Ziyech are. CHO might not be able to either, but we don't know. Give him the same chances that Mount gets, and we'll see. I'm well aware of the excuses that might be used in response for Mount. He's supposedly captain intangibles and the hardest working player in world football, but I would sell him while I can. Attackers who don't contribute to goals aren't good players. There's going to come a point when Lampard keeps better players than CHO out of the team at the expense of Mount. He treats Mount like his son.

I also see many Chelsea fans on twitter who bring up the same things I do. Only some Chelsea fans think Mount is good. I'm sure you're well aware this isn't a settled debate.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Some of the latest rumours Dest to barca for 20 + 5. ... we shall see. They're obscure sources so far.

What does the right way entail for United?
