Transfer: Summer Transfer Thread part 9: Sky Sports Deadline Day boredom

[bluesfan94]

Pleased with this all things considered. Took a loss, but if he wasn't going to play, and there's no reason to think he was, let's ship him out

How much money Real spends on players with 1 year left that they know want to play for only Real is just hilarious.

Or it would be if the rest of us didn't have to deal with the inflation they create...

I have no idea why some people are so obsessed with this guy. He is the absolute worst finisher I have ever seen in my life.

Have you seen his thighs?

He is a physical beast and a great dribbler so a lot of 'what if' he manages to maximize his talent/physicality.

He'd be better used as a wingback in a 3-4-3 system I think. He's not good enough with his finishing to be a winger or forward on a top club. His ability to progress the ball and beat defenders is world class though.

I have no idea why some people are so obsessed with this guy. He is the absolute worst finisher I have ever seen in my life.

His entire thing is to run extremely fast, get behind the defense, and then absolutely blast a shot into row Z or hit a cross that completely clears the entire box.

Aouar to Spurs is possible.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Traore in a 3-4-3 with a manager like Conte would be a beast IMO, but the benefit of a system/manager like that is you can get away with a wing-back like Moses instead and save a ton of money to use elsewhere. Traore at a high price is just silly.

 

[bluesfan94]

Aouar to Spurs is possible.

I think Arsenal would regret letting this happen, were it to happen.

 

[Havre]

Traore, Aouar and Sarr?

I think Traore is crap value at 40m, but would take that window.

 

[Fro]

Guessing if we can ship out Sissoko and Ndombele then maybe it happens

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Flo complaining about PSG being rude...

They are just trying to get the best out of Matt Doherty

Would not surprise me. Spurs should just give up on making Doherty work and leave him at nearest garbage dump. I f***ing called it last summer.

"Even without ceding Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid, PSG shouldn't be worried about financial fair play. Thanks to accounting arguments, but also political ones."

I'd love to hear what those "accounting arguments" are, but at least everyone is starting to call a spade a spade.

If Paratici wanted Traore for 50m at Juventus and Nuno wants him at Spurs then.....

Not exactly a huge fan, but I have been wrong before.

Zouma deal to West Ham is off !

 

[Evilo]

Would be good for people to comment on articles they are reading
The "political reasons" are that UEFA doesn't want to alienate its main Superleague opponent and that they new Salary Cap to replace the FFP will be good for them.
They also explain the FFP changes because of the pandemic, which would allow PSG to have some massive unbalance (and not just PSG BTW).

Would be good for people to not deduce why people "laugh" at "political reasons". It was PRETTY obvious it was Super League related and it is what is laughable. All of this is a charade between ultrarich people. Football comes a distant... fourth, maybe.

The "political reasons" is change the FFP for a salary cap.
As for the crap that PSG doesn't abide by the rules everyone does, everything is in the article.

 

[robertmac43]

Sounds like Zouma to West Ham is falling through since personal terms are not met. I'll laugh if that's the reason they don't get Kounde.

Forgot the other part that you mentioned 30 seconds ago (and that the new salary cap rules are a gift to PSG anyway).

Sounds a lot like an allowance very much not for everyone.

I'd love to read it, but it is behind a paywall. Thank you for the bits your provided though.

Zouma deal to West Ham is off !

5 years ago I'd have been happy because that meant Chelsea wasn't getting Kounde. Now it's a win because West Ham isn't getting better. Another two years of Arteta and this management team and I'll be sweating teams like Palace and Burnleys transfer dealings
