Summer 2019 transfer thread

[Park Lane Mark Twain]

Why are people melting?

We’re not doing anything before the final. That’s it. We will be buying players afterwards.

In the Champions League final for the first time in our history yet people still feel the need to moan don't they pal? I kind of feel sorry for them.

Saw a poster slag off our awful transfer policies whilst praising Dortmunds earlier. Some would think it was Dortmund playing in club footballs biggest final in just over a weeks time & that it was Dortmund that battered us not one year but two years in a row in Europe.

We are fine, I'd have liked Brandt but I'm sure other clubs would have as well yet he stayed in Germany. Not much you can do if a player doesn't want to sign for you or leave his home. We'll make moves this summer, twice as many as we would have been able to if we had done our money last summer. We have funds, we just need patience when it comes to delivering the right deal both talent wise and financially for the club.

Champions League final baby! We should all be loving these days building up to it instead of talking nonsense about so called poor transfer strategies etc. Some won't though, which is a huge shame as this moment hasn't happened in 137 years so may possibly never happen again. Everyone chill and just enjoy the fact you get to see your beloved team play in club footballs biggest spectacle on the planet.

Id like Bruno Fernandes.

He was garbage in Italy, though was young, but he seems to have gone up several notches over the last few seasons.

Shouldn't be too expensive either.

I thought he was nailed on for City?

The bloke is scum... If he was on fire I'd light my cig off of him, laugh and walk the fuck on.....

Levy: “Why don’t we buy Bentaleb back?”

We’re not doing anything before the final. That’s it. We will be buying players afterwards.

Because a thing happened and apparently being in the fucking CL Final is just an excuse.

One other wrinkle, I wonder how much Brexit is making European players look at Premier League clubs with a bit of skepticism? If you don't know what the employment laws will be in 3 months, it may put a damper on your enthusiasm to sign.

Surely there will have to be clauses to handle people (not just footballers) with pre-existing visas and employment contracts. The economic impact of just chucking out a massive section of the workforce would be crippling and suicidal - the corporate losses would be massive as companies had to find replacements and train them to something similar to the standard of the employees lost.

If anything, if you're a player that harbors ambitions to play in the PL it probably gives you incentive to do it now to whatever club comes in rather than wait to see if a City or United, etc. come in the future.

Julian Brandt. The first one to broke my heart this year.

I really wanted him.

On the off note, could we get Joshua Kimmich or Julian Draxler.

 

[Juicy Sushi]

Fernandes would cost like 40-50M Leicester would want an arm for madisson for example. And believe me Fernandes is the real deal.

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing that Fernandes would be a good shout, and I am not disagreeing that Leicester will ask the moon for Maddison. I was only disagreeing that we couldn't sign players in top 5 leagues. We could. We just have executed very poorly recently.

You may have not been up to date on the state of UK politics. Brexit believers are demanding exactly that.

I don't think he was garbage in Italy. He looked pretty decent at Samprdoria.

That was me. And I disagree. We are not really fine. Yes, we're in the Champion's League final, and that is fucking brilliant. But I don't think the process by which we find, sign, coach, and sell players is brilliant. In fact, I think it's rather the opposite. And I think that getting process right matters for being able to go to Champion's League finals regularly, rather than just when the stars align for us.
