Summer 2019 - The Zizou Revolution Transfer Thread

Damn I can see them fielding a lineup with more Castilla products somewhere along the way (and beating us with our own players + James).

Adan, Juanfran, Hermoso, Llorente, Saul, Morata

VS.

Carvajal, Nacho, Lucas, Valverde, Mariano

 

Juanfran left this summer. Hope we can cash in on Lucas and Mariano this summer. Mariano could start at Roma. Here he will be 3rd choice.

Coukd be the first Galactico signed

 

Fixed

 

That would be awesome. The first Albanian playing for Real Madrid .

 

Very good footballer, more of this please

 

She's also a big fan of our club. She knows what she wants and is never afraid to speak her mind, she's an amazing rolemodel.

 

Wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he's here next season. If he can't raise his game and justify a position ahead of the youngsters, then I hope he quietly accepts whatever role Zidane gives him at 17ME per year (which should have had some clause that his agent needs to STFU).

 

Seems as though we're just moving a problem to next summer unless Zidane changes his opinion on the player. He could have a monster season with Arsenal but if Zidane still has his preferences then we'll just go through this again next year. Ceballos can't just stay on loan until Zidane leaves.

 

Or it raises his price to 60-70M and we sell him next summer to the highest bidder

 

I understand why you'd feel that way but when you consider that he and Zidane had a sit down to discuss his future at the end of last season then its hard to not assume that they've come to some sort of agreement if he's willing to come back. I mean unless he doesnt believe Zidane would last beyond a season lol.

 

Funny some of these guys like Ceballos and James were probably just buying time until Zidane was out of the picture.

They both got their hopes up when he left and less than a year later he's back and hell bent on a player that would take their position.

I think there's a good chance that "Zidane the Sequel" isn't nearly has successful as his first stint. I am also fairly certain that "rebuilding" the team is going to take time, and we won't see instant results while going with the status quo + Hazard isn't going to be enough to dethrone Barca/Liverpool in the long game.

I think there is a really good chance Zidane doesn't stick around, especially if two things happen. We don't get Pogba this season and the France job opens up next summer.

 

There is always that chance, yes but i believe this is more wishful thinking on your part. If i were a betting man i wouldnt bet on Zidane quitting or getting fired next season even if we don't win anything major.

 

Our owner's a prick so it looks like the offer is gonna be a loan with option for 42mil and the only other club rumoured is Atletico Madrid who will pay the 42mil right up front.

TBH we'd probably pay the 42mil anyways it just gives us more money to spend this summer.

Is your president more likely to take the money from a direct rival this year or from a team abroad next year?

 

The premier league window closes 8th August but that doesn’t stop clubs taking their players.

United know Pogba wants to leave so they’ll need a replacement in and that will happen before 8th August

 

This is key.

The moment Manchester buys SMS or some other Pogba-like replacement, it signals the world (wel Florentino) they want to sell. So we shouldn't be rushed.

 

Eh, not true though:

Sell:
Inflow: €50M transfer fee / Outflow: €51M wages
Net impact: €1M outflow

Keep:
Inflow: €0M transfer fee / Outflow: €102M wages
Net impact: €102M outflow

Net cost of keeping bale: €101M / 3 years = €34M/year (essentially, just his wages)

Sure we probably make a few million euros a year off his image rights. But it isn't €34M/year, I can assure you that.

 

You don't keep Bale for depth. His salary is outrageous, and if you can somehow swallow that, he's not the Kaka type who will accept being a role player, he is a diva and a misfit in the locker room that will cause all kinds of tensions with Zidane, Florentino, teammates and media.

An offer that makes us save the treasure we owe to him, and at the same time recoup a decent transfer fee so that at least we save some face, thats an offer I'd sign with both hands. This is the Spurs offer, if its real, so it would be insane not to accept it, in a situation where there isn't exactly a bidding war over him.

If depth is the issue, despite having a wing forward star in the making (Vinicius) and two perfectly adequate rotation players there (Asensio and Lucas), just pay 30 million euros for someone like Nabil Fekir, who would command a quarter of Bale's salary, and not spend half the season on the medical table, and the rest trying to find his rhythm again.

Flo has to be realistic. Who is going to pay 80M for Asensio or Isco?

 

Desperate PL clubs?

But even then, players have to accept to leave.

Everton are close to offloading Gueye. Imagine that they offer 70ME for Isco. Flo will be ok, but no way Asensio will accept to go to Everton.

 

They can't get their rumor right. At first it was €150, then €170 and €180.

Now they say they asked for €200.


They don't know what the hell they are tallimg about. Tomorrow they will say €300

All to sensationalize and sell papers.

 

Yep.

The only sources to trust are mancunian ones imho.

They only say that they won't sell for cheap, and at least no way that they will under what they paid to Juventus before.

Their recent articles also say their owners want to keep Pogba as they sit on his contract. So they won't accept what they consider bad offers.

Now we are only july 17, plenty of time for them to change their mind.

And what we are offering can't be as shitty as what Barcelona are to PSG.

I'm not 100% sure they will cave in though.

We need a plan B in case of.

 

Laurentiis moaning again.

Because we don't want another dumb loan deal and only asking for the clause James told Bayern not to invoke.
