Transfer: Summer Transfer Thread Part 8 - Things Are Getting Messi

I hope City dont buy Kane. He is a good player but the club should keep their powder dry for Haaland next year.

Additionally, Messi to City is highly unlikely. Dont think Pep wants to be forever tainted as the manager that lured/moved Messi out of Barcelona.

Also just to add, City's net spend is gonna be pretty low once all is said and done (well maybe). They have sold a lot of youth/fringe/on loan players so far like Jack Harrison, Angelino, Ivan Ilic etc. Plus they got about 10-15 million from the Jadon Sancho sale from Man Utd

Hell yeah

That came out of nowhere.

Proper shocked.

Tomiyasu should be next in line.

It's not quite Mourinho-Lukaku tier IMO, but it could prove to be a very foolish error. Abraham has a LOT of improving to do and is a lot more raw than Lukaku was when he left Chelsea (while also being nearly three years older) but with good coaching he could be a consistent 15-goal a year forward. Abraham's main problems are his movement (he frequently doesn't make the right runs/get into the right positions) and his hold-up play (he's shockingly weak on the ball). In the right environment where he could get better at those two things, he has a lot that he can do. It's easy to forget that he scored 15 goals in his first senior season for Chelsea. He was very poor down the stretch, but it would be very foolish for Tuchel and the club to ship him off, which is what it appears that they're planning on doing. I remain slightly hopeful that he'll end up sticking around and force his way back in.

Yeah, and a big difference between this and Jose with Lukaku, De Bruyne, and Salah, Tammy has been able to play plenty of minutes, so Chelsea is at least making an informed decision, the others never really got a shot IMO.

Quite a bit cheaper than White.

Imagine moving to a top 8 (top 6 I guess) club in the PL and all you have to do to play is to be better than Eric Dier.

 

[Power Man]

lol

 

[KingLB]

Sargent to Norwich City

Bleh here is to hoping Hoppe finds a good club.

Basically Messi is signing a 2 year contract with an option for an extra year.

7.5M isn't quite a bit, especially depending on wage packets and factoring in homegrown quotas

 

[robertmac43]

I know this isn't how they would line up but we will be looking M&M's in Paris

With PSG, just to be clear.

Also Romero to Spurs, confirmed.

 

[robertmac43]

Huge singing for PSG and Ligue 1 in general! Going to be tuning into many more games this year!

How much did Romero go for?

2 + 1 year. Makes sense. Suppose it will only be 2 then Argentina or Miami as always suspected.

I really wanted Lio in EPL tho I can see the appeal for him and his family (especially this) to go to Paris

 

[JeffreyLFC]

I will have to plan a travel to Paris now.
