Transfer: Summer transfer rumours

[JeffreyLFC]

Yes all world cup bring the worst

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

If you're at Real or Barca, you dont need to move anywhere else anymore. You're at the pinnacle of world football in terms of money, prestige, lifestyle. Players typically leave these clubs only because they're not first choice anymore.

(The particulars of the Neymar transfer have been discussed, so we don't need to talk about it again.)

What you don't enjoy getting educated about how football needs to get rid of the flopping so it could be a noble sport like hockey or american football?

It's actually kind of ridiculous that some people will praise guys like Gerrard or Giggs for staying with their clubs for their whole career, but then when it comes to Messi they'll count it against him somehow.

Spending your whole career in Barcelona is just logical. Doing so in Liverpool or Manchester, on the other hand, requires intense masochism.

With Messi it’s a personality thing too though. He’s more introverted. He grew up there and is probably as comfortable in the city as he is in Argentina. Very Lemieux/Pittsburgh like.

"Messi couldn't handle the dreary Manchester lifestyle. He needs to be coddled in the gorgeous Barcelona atmosphere. Beta!"

Even CR7 couldn't handle it, and he's as alpha as it gets! No way little leo could do it on a cold night at Stoke.

Diakhaby on his way to Valencia 15 million

Thanks.

The new Anderson!

 

[hersky77]

He’s making 220,000 a week, no wonder Liverpool let him go. He’d be their highest paid player.

The 220k/week figure is somewhat manipulated, by including the signing on bonus for the first 2 years. It really averages out to 150k/week over the life of the contract, which I'll admit I still wouldn't pay for Emre Can.

From the figures I read:
2018/19 - 4m wages, 7m signing bonus = 220k/week
2019/20 - 4m wages, 7m signing bonus = 220k/week
2020/21 - 4m wages = 80k/week
2021/22 - 4m wages = 80k/week

The new Anderson!

Is that CL winner and 4x PL winner Anderson you're talking about?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

It's hard to find good strikers willing to be Kane's back-up, but if Plea is I'd take him. Can also be played as a more direct option on the wing.

Ferguson isnt there to save them. Fred better stay off the pies.

 

[Havre]

Can’t be any worse than Llorente. And any player that is not named Barrios is a good idea.

2021/22 - 4m wages = 80k/week

Even at 150k a week it’s still a lot for can. He’s a good player, but I won’t miss him

Still a bargain since he was free.

Wonder what that means for Füllkrug, as Plea & Wood where Eberl's two most often mentioned back up plans.

My sides.

Hilarious thread development.
