Summer 2019 transfer thread

[thegregulator]

Paying 50+ for the right to pay bale 300 a week is about the dumbest thing we could do this summer. Hes old, hes incredibly expensive, and he doesnt give a shit

 

[hiatus]

The window is getting really dumb really fast.

Not for nothing, but there is no sense in bringing in Ceballos without an option to buy. If that ain't happening then fuck it.

Agreed. Think that’s why you’re seeing the gooner links pick up.

I’m sure they’ll take whatever they can

and injury prone

Odd we never made more of a push for De Ligt.

Gareth Bale to Tottenham? I never comment on rubbish, says agent

Forward is said to be one of a number of players Real are trying to offload

After Lucas demolished Ajax's defense maybe that convinced Poch he wasn't all that

So Poch should have made a beeline for Van De Beek and Lozano if that how he looks at things.

I thought it was Llorente who De Ligt was marking.

Any one else worried that our transfer business is done for the summer? Poch has always said if the right player isn't available he won't move for them. And if no one matches our valuation for TA, CE, KT etc I see them staying put. Got a horrible feeling.

Strange window so far..ndombele is a good start. But I really hope it is just the start, we need some reinforcements badly imo. Not sure why things have ground to somewhat of a halt.

 

[TimothéeAtouba]

Imagine a front 3 of Bale/Son/Kane, with combinations of Alli/NDombele/Winks/Celso behind them. Holy Shit.

For the life of me I just can’t imagine it even in my wildest dreams.

I can however quite readily imagine a front 3 of Alli/Son/Kane while Bale is watching them on in the stands nursing a long term injury.

Nah. I still think we get Lo Celso and probably Sess near the deadline. To me Ceballos was always a backup in case the Lo Celso deal fell through.

Fingers crossed. Strength in depth is key and we've been lacking it for years now. Incredible how we've challenged on so many fronts in recent seasons.

After watching the U21 Euros I changed my mind, Ceballos is legit.

Well, it not's all that bad if they stay though...Everyone likes the new shiny thing but keeping the things that you know that work isn't the worst outcome either...

 

[Nutter-Naylor]

Might make RM get serious?

 

[Macch]

Odd we never made more of a push for De Ligt.

He signed for very high wages and has a low release clause in his deal.

He’s by no means committed his future to Juve. He’s be gone in 2 or 3 years max

Kane has spent a remarkably similar amount of time in the stands as Bale over the past few seasons. something like 200 days each, yet no one is screaming for us to stop paying Kane £200k per week and get rid.

Just playing devils advocate but theres some truth there. Kane clearly has an ankle issue that will likely recur, same as Bales dodgy calf.

Wow.

I suppose those saying 'don't look at the past, look at the future' will be consistent to their own word - and forget every goal and effort Kane has made for the club, and look on him as an injury ridden 17 in 28 striker on 200k per week.
