Summer 2019 - The Zizou Revolution Transfer Thread

@yoanaidarov

UEFA defines locally-trained or 'homegrown' players as those who, regardless of their nationality, have been trained by their club or by another club in the same national association for at least three years between the age of 15 and 21.

 

They've taken some of the shine off it, especially so if they sign Neymar.

But I don't really care tbh, just as long as we beat them lol

 

Definitely a big part of the reason they signed him... Madrid was running away with one of the best summer transfer market in a long time. They had to react... Although, this may all back fire on them.

As it should...

 

Barca signed Griezmann back in March technically so I doubt it.

 

So now it matters when the club wants to keep a player?

Didn't we want to keep Cristiano according to you?

 

We've so far had a good, but not great transfer window. I think that apart from a world-class midfielder we still lack another goal threat from the right wing and it's probable that we won't get that upgrade at least until next summer (best case scenario, Vinicius or Rodrygo explode so nothing is needed).

 

I'm more in line with this sentiment.

 

No of this has anything to do with the context; "Newsflash, they wanted to keep the player".

Also, you can't even kind of compare the cost of a forward to a midfielder.

Regardless you were against buying Mbappe then at that price no differently then you are against buying Pogba now at any price.

 

Then why don’t they mention those 2 players. I’m not saying you guys are wrong, I’m just wondering what their rules are.

 

I got it from here

Lewa is staring at retirement in the face and looking at life after football didn't want to burn his bridges in Germany where he'll be remembered as a "BundisLegend."

Dembele still has a chance to do much better than that with his career, and already has WC, La Liga and blockbuster Barca transfer on his resume.

 

Hmm okay thanks. Shit article from Marca then I guess.

 

He's better for France than ManU that's for sure but he's got even more cover than he did at Juve. Kante and Matuidi behind him and Griezman and Mbappe in front. We're talking about a team the can leave Benzema at home a go to the Euro and WC finals without breaking a sweat.

We know he can't carry a team, isn't a match winner and isn't worth anywhere close to his rumored transfer price.

If the fee is reasonable he will be a hit, if not I can see the transfer being labeled a failure.

 

He was in the process of remodeling. Okay?

Pretty sure I remember Marcelo never counting as homegrown, just barely missing the 3-year minimum before 21. Same issue as Varane.

 

..Or To PSG who has now entered the picture .

 

Did we pay 100 +30 in bonuses though? The numbers seem to always be different depending on the source.

 

I really don't think we have enough firepower.

Hazard is a good player, but he's not an x-factor or someone who's going to carry us to wins off his own back. The last time he was the best player in the EPL was four or five seasons ago now. At least when we bought Bale he was easily the best player, transitional, explosive and exciting.

Jovic is a good player but a complete unknown on the big stage, it's a 50/50 shot whether he'll be good for us this season.

As for the right flank, again we can rely on Asensio, as he's been better for Spain than us, which shows a good player is in there, somewhere, or hope a 19 year old learns how to shoot and improves substantially.

There's too many unknowns for my liking.

Hard to get really excited about. The only saving grace is we still have a lot of great players, albeit aging ones.
