Some American rumors

- Timothy Weah to Valencia
- Konrad de la fuente to everywhere, most recently Olympiacos
- John Brooks (free agent) to Saudi Arabia
- Anderlecht looking at two MLS guys (John Tolkin and DeJuan Jones) as a LB replacement to Gomez
- Only other rumors where from a mostly young guys possibly being loaned out. Like Cole Basset going to Dutch team lower down the table and the same with Justin Che in Germany

That's probably it for potential moves for Americans. Other than maybe Dest being sold. Not sure where I stand on that possibility, since Xavi arrived there is a story about once a month that Barcelona doesn't like him and wants to sell than a few days later Xavi comes out and says how much he likes his potential. All the time Dest maintains he wants to stay. Don't think a World Cup year affects him since I think he know even if he just gets spot duty with Barcelona there is no one that can really challenge him as a started at RB for the US.

FYI there’s no 1000 post limit anymore. You can just keep your summer thread until a winter one is apropos

I hope not on both the bolded. Valencia is a dumpster fire of a club. Rivals United for worst run. I’d rather Weah stay there. Brooks should have just come to the MLS.

Been a bit. I think since the last server switch. I don’t remember when that was.

I'm guessing Brooks knows he has no chance on working his way back into the team. Agreed on Weah, if i was Lille i would hold onto him until after the World Cup. He seems likely to get playing time for the US and someone will up their price tag on him because of it

I know it changed with the last server switch but we had been told that the post limit came back. Or maybe I'm misremembering.

Interesting article about Barca. Countdown to Barca fans refuting every point in it...3..2..1...

Why is Barcelona still spending, signing players and selling off parts of itself?

Why is Barcelona, a great club going through tough times, selling off its future for a present that's so uncertain? And did they need to sign all these players? To understand it, you need to stop thinking of them as a soccer team.

Can Bassett/Che be loaned from a loan? I guess they could terminate the loan, but both clubs have purchase options.

Pjanic reborn?

We need the new threads, the witty titles and first posts are worth it.

Not sure the mechanics of it, but the rumor was Feynoord was going to work with Colorado to adjust the loan so they still have the purchase option but he could be loaned out to another team.

That doesn’t sound legal. I’d think they would take the option and then loan him.

So this is basically going to be Aubameyang for Alonso, right?

Better not be more than 2 or 2+1 contract.

Supposedly Barca doesn’t want to lose Aubameyang AND Memphis. And Barca would rather keep the former. I think Barca waits to see if Memphis leaves before making decision on Aubameyang, but moving Aubameyang is probably easier. Don’t think Alonso and Aubameyang transfers are related.

So funny when LFC fans complain about FSG when (one of) the backup options was Peter Lim. The grass is always greener…

I don’t know what this has to do with my comment and I’m very confused.

Oh wait isn’t Lim the Valencia owner?

Yes. Lim is the Valencia owner.
