Transfer: Summer Transfer Window Rumors part5

[Jussi]

Ole Gunnar on Smaldini today:

“I think Chris has shown, over his career at Manchester United, how valuable he is for United,” Ole said at a press conference ahead of Wednesday's Europa League second leg with LASK. “This season was about him being a regular and going to Roma, showing and proving how good a centre-back he is.

“I wanted to give Harry [Maguire] and Victor [Lindelof] and maybe Axel [Tuanzebe] a chance and so he found out that it was best for him to go to Roma to play for a year.

“Now he's coming back. Chris has shown this season that he will be valuable so I've been speaking to Chris throughout and been delighted with his season.”

So looks like he might be staying unless Roma ponies up some major cash.

Angel Gomes just signed with Lille as well so another guy that will be flipped for a huge profit next summer.

@Evilo

He's being loaned to Boavista.

At times this year Brighton lacked that decisive pass and direct attacker, and I think Eze fits the bill. Gross had less productive season than he is used which was felt in our lack of goals through 2020.

With Mac Allister I get the sentiment, Alzate however lined up down the right side or deeper in midfield more this year, I think Potter's plan for him is more in these areas and less as a CAM.

I think that was because they didn't get MacAllister till late in the season. Gross is pretty much done at the premier league level and Lallana should push him out the lineup. If you bring in Eze i would sell him.

Would Potter line up with Eze and MacAllister side by side? That would be a potent attack with Maupay and Connolly. Brighton needs to make a signing like Eze, someone up and coming which shows ambition. The signings of Lallana and Veltman are moves to say you want to finish 14th not push for the top half. Guys that are good squad players but nothing to get you up the table. A perfect signing for you guys would be Harry Winks. I doubt it happens because of cost but he's got that passing and range you seem to be looking for. If Mourinho isn't going to play him as a first choice he would be great in Brighton.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

That's a beautiful kit.

PS: 35M only (23+12)

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Steal ... although again I don’t think he’s the best winger in Spain. In his age group.

I wonder where Mikel is going or when.

 

[Savant]

Last year of his deal

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Mikel would have been a star in City.

He could thrive with Lio but again that's too smart for Bartomeu to do

I just don’t understand how he’s still at La real. With no rumour or hint of him leaving.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

He's much better than what Griezzman was at La Real.

I mean if you have a chance to get Sane you go get him but Bayern would have been a great destination for Mikel

What’s his price tag? Is he Nike?

Interesting and it contradicts what comes from Romano

I’d definitely trust Ornstein over Romano. Ornstein is god tier for PL usually.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Yeah Ornstein is usually super reliable as well. But Romano has been the most reliable source for transfer news the last few years. Not really sure how to feel about this report.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

No idea for both

The part about United not wanting to upset squad harmony is the interesting piece, the other stuff not as much. Their top players already have big contracts, so what would be the issue? Maybe they are worried about playing time and don't want one of the attacking 4 to have more of a bench role.

That would be dumb. It's not a problem at City.

 

[King Makar19]

Lite Mahrez will be available in 15 minutes. Good player for Leicester instead of Trincao..

it wasn’t Orstein breaking a story. It was briefed to every English journalist. It’s Woodward trying to negotiate. Literally every UK journalist tweeted the same thing at the same time.

(it’s dumb and it never works fwiw but that’s what it is)

That makes sense then.

The chances just swung the other directions towards not likely. Anytime he starts this shit it’s never good. Won’t have anything to do with squad unity or any of that shit. It’ll be Woodward

I don’t think any of this is wrong. But that doesn’t mean Ornstein doesn’t have better sources than Romano.

 

[Savant]

I don’t really rate Lewis, but he is homegrown and has a pulse. Maybe Klopp can unlock some potential there in a different system but who knows. At least he is in their price range. For those who don’t know, Reddy is about a level under Joyce and Pearce but she is close. After her the sources drop off quite a bit.

This was literally called at Red Cafe's Sancho thread like yesterday. Hilarious read for the past couple of days since I found it.
