It's A Cruel, Cruel Summer - The Summer Transfer Dread

Also a forward.

 

Barca will today, since they have a transfer ban coming up. Real will, because they have the money. Most of them would even let him stay on loan because they don't need him today. Bayern will certainly buy him now. They'd rather wait, but if Dortmund was going to sell, they'd be in there in a flash.
You have a ton of money, but you're hardly the only club with money, and Bayern in particular has kept most of its powder dry.

 

Do Dortmund really want to deal to Bayern though? For some reason, this is one transfer I just don't think they would be a competitor (even though it makes sense they would).
Totally agree on Barca due to their prior interest and upcoming ban. However with them and especially Real: talk about fitment, I dunno how Reus starts for them unless they plan on ditching Ronnie

 

The sales make sense. We do need some incoming money with all the cash we are spending. I expect Cheech and Kagawa gone before the window closes. Hopefully Vidal and Blind come the other way.

By the way, happy to see the back of Cleverley. It isn't all his fault, but at some point I just couldn't handle him.

 

So, thats the following all essentially gone:

Cheech
Cleverley
Zaha

Just a question mark over Danny.

And a question whether anyone even wants Ando.

 

Kagawa gone as well.

 

Explain.

 

And wasn't that ironic in the end.

 

All it 'explains' is that Cleverley is not a leader and not the type of player to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and excel in adversity. Thus his best role being in a midfield three. He is a complementary player. If the rest of the team is falling apart his game will go with it.

 

Yet both Barcelona (Sanchez) and Real Madrid (Di Maria) have just shipped out wide forwards because there was no room in the team for them. Reus is not going to force out their existing options unless changes are made to their respective systems and selections.

 

Zaha agrees Crystal Palace return

Fair points. I was basing it on the assumption that LVG would stick to a 3-5-2.

I'd love him to go with WFs, shutting the pundits up in the process.

#avfc bid for Tom Cleverley has been accepted by #mufc. Now up to the player to decide his next move. Hull and Everton also in.

8 goals + 3 assists for him this season in 6 games now.

 

I don't like the idea of him going to Everton or Villa. We shouldn't be selling players to our direct competitors...

Manchester United’s Kagawa is close to returning at Borussia Dortmund, the details http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/calciomercato/manchester-uniteds-kagawa-is-close-to-returning-at-borussia-dortmund/… #dimarzio @dimarzio


Di Marzio says 10 million pounds + 2 million add ons for Kagawa.


Also says Juve want Hernandez on loan with option to buy.

 

See what you did there. Hull were more of a direct competition than Villa tbf.

 

I'd say no to both unless we get bodies in the door first or as part of a deal. It's pointless to weaken us even further, for a pittance and with nothing in return.

 

Apparently, since the WC he's playing with an unbelievable amount of confidence.

Should be him now, and loan him back.

 

Mexico's second largest tv network reporting Chicharito is close to a move to Italy. Makes me sad
