Summer Transfer Thread 2019

[BaZ87]

I can do naught by apologise for my ill thought examples. I'm sorry.

Apology accpeted

But seriously, how often do you see a transfer of a player the club doesn't want to sell go smoothly? Relative to what we've seen with other transfers, Coutinho didn't do that much wrong and neither did even Sterling (his agent aside of course).

A few places are reporting it, so it looks like it might happen.

 

[CliffyG]

I'm fully prepared for Arsenal to buy no one else and to have a disaster of a season with Mustafi as our captain....

 

[rebel rebel]

Yeah it seems we can't give Mustafi away. Maybe we should do a deal, buy him get Koscielny for free.

How about Ronaldo to Madrid/Juve? I don't remember anything particularly about those transfers but my memory is terrible so I could be wrong!

I'm pretty sure with the United > Madrid move there was a gentlemens agreement in place for him to play for another year and then United would sanction the move as he'd always been very vocal about it being his dream to play for Real Madrid. He didn't kick up a fuss to force the move through.

Ronaldo didn't kick up a fuss?

He had Taggart chasing him to Portugal trying to convince him to stay after he'd claimed (or at least agreed with Blatter) that Utd were treating him as a slave by not allowing him to join Real. Utd then had to report Real to FIFA over the situation and a few months before the deal was announced Fergie was coming out with things like "I wouldn't even sell them a virus".

Regarding the Juve move, how many times did Ronaldo throw his toys out of the pram, flirted with other clubs only to get a new bumper contract before he eventually joined Juve? It felt like he signed a new deal at Real after almost joining somebody else every 6 months.

It was a long time ago, i'm claiming faulty memory

Zidane stated want bale out and working on it, look I know he has had his injuries but how Zidane seems to treat him in the public eye is shocking, bale has scored very important goals for them in his time there.

Do wonder what club he will end up at since it sounds like they have one in mind

 

[adam cool dude]

Reports going out that De Gea has agreed a six year deal to stay at United. Just need to get Fernandez and Maguire over the line now.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

Maguire hasn't happened yet?

 

[adam cool dude]

Maguire hasn't happened yet?

Not even sure if it will happen now. Solskjaer is really pushing Tuanzebe alongside Lindelof in pre-season.

Not many would want to pay his wages I wouldn't have thought, didn't he get an offer a while back from China? That's where my money would be on him going.

 

[Shamikebab]

Either that or someone takes him on loan.

Not sure whether the source is reliable but there’s supposed to be alternative targets if Maguire doesn’t sign.

 

[mysticsniper]

Not even close, no fee agreed. Maguire still playing in friendly games

I'm sure some more fake news will hit the headlines shortly as its gone quiet.

More than likely but I don't understand why in Madrid he is booed the way he is etc, he wasn't never gonna be the Ronaldo they wanted him to become but he is dam good player, got them multiple important goals

If anything besides hazard who they just got I don't think there other wingers are even close to his level

 

[omnomnom]

Two at Liverpool for a start lol.

 

[Shamikebab]

ah the importance of knowing when to use their or there.

 

[Mark1989]

I meant in just Madrid team.

Of course ours are better
