Lol Newcastle just trying to buy Brighton at this point. Burn, then Webster, now Bissouma being linked.

“I only got a Lexus for my birthday? I wanted a Mercedes “

Haha! It reminds me of a guy in my class. I overheard him actually complain about his parents buying him a Lexus SUV when he wanted a Mercedes SUV. He was complaining the whole time while mentioning his parents also paid for his condo too.

Buying american always makes sense in football.

I never understood this line of thinking. He isn’t getting you more money on TV? So all in Kit sales?

Matuidi - Veratti - Motta where amazing for PSG

If Newcastle would ever stop screwing around with the Diego Carlos transfer and actually get it done, they're definitely not going anywhere. I can't tell if the deal is dead or not but it may not even matter at this point. The bottom of the Premier League pile is so bad that Newcastle may survive on 2 or 3 more wins the rest of the year. They've already banked 9 points in draws and I don't see why they can't at least do that on a given match.

It isn't pretty but I don't see why the plan isn't going to work and they don't make bigger moves when the year is over

I cried for him and his hardships.

Alright so it's official. I sniffed around and saw he had put in a formal transfer request and Newcastle was upping their offer several times and ran into "he's not for sale" once so often but I'm often so wary of all press during transfer windows. I'll trust you've done more official legwork than I have. That's not the end of the world for the Magpies. They've got time for other guys and basically an unlimited bank account. Despite this, I'd pass on Lingard if I'm them. Man U is being freaking ridiculous and over a guy who quite frankly isn't worth it.

All they gotta do is survive and the EPL picture is gonna be absolute chaos next year and I absolutely LOVE IT

***"It's happening. Well. Kinda!" intensifies***

Remember when Vinik bought the team and we knew everything was going to be okay? I wept openly during his entire opening press conference. I have to imagine the folks in Tyneside feel the same way

 

[These Are The Days]

Just when you think United are starting have the basic semblance of an off-field strategy, they look a gift horse in the mouth and decide they'd rather shoot their own foot off.......

Someone check on Jussi for the love of God

Even more than that sponsorship deals and friendly invitations.

I mean arsenal was already getting those invitations? Not like you see Boavista and Genk playing friendlies at Sofi stadium now? And what sponser is really going to pay that much more because of a random American? This isn’t pulisic.

 

[mfilipo3]

Why? Where does he fit in Atletico? I still think his best position is fullback.

Kit sales and social media following, etc which then makes you more appealing to sponsors.

Lot of rumors that Premier League teams are looking at Slonina from Chicago. Price tag is $10mil.

He is a talent but it’s a huge gamble for team and him when he is only 17. Even with a loan back to Chicago this season. Unless you are a team that’s sure he is can’t miss why spend 10 now when he probably won’t cost much more than that a year or two from now.

@John Pedro Thoughts?

@John Pedro Thoughts?

Don't get your hopes up. You'd think having Edu would lead to signing promising Brazilians but all he's done is hook up his agent buddies.

 

[les Habs]

Because at his age he cant be starting week in and week out. Its the same with Busi who would be far more effective if he didn't have to play every single minute. We cant even sub him off late in the game when the intensity rises (Busi) this leads to many goals against late. They need proper cover. I wouldnt even be opposed to Lenglet getting more minutes while Garcia is out. Either way there should be 2 CBs coming this summer IMO.

-It’d be foolish to bring in two new CBs unless they get rid of all of them except for Araujo and Pique.
-Pique can play the vast majority of the matches just fine.
-To compare Pique to Busquets is lazy and/or ignorant.

 

[KingLB]

There is no way any of that is anyway close to 32 mil! Shit it probably isn’t worth $1 mil! Like Arsenal’s “followers” don’t even move if this signing goes through.

 

[les Habs]

WAY too much smoke around Traore for me, though admittedly simply being linked with him is way too much for me. Anyway, WHY THE **** would you get rid of Trincao for him much less include him in any sort of deal? Wolves have a clause to buy Trincao and you probably just sent them a message they can pay less for him now. That’s not to mention no players in particular we could put Trincao cash towards if he’s not in your plans.

They sold Trippier, so probably at fullback.

Interesting point about the payment terms. It was reported on the radio over here that Newcastle have been offering entire transfer fees as a lump sum (typically payments are spread out over the course of the contract) to try and get clubs to accept their bids. Sounds like Lyon have got wind of this and want that as well.
