I fought Matt Law and Matt Law won. Transfer Thread

George to Fulham for 24 million "pure profit" permanently. I hate clownlake.

NJ has rechecked out his "Learn German in Ten Days" book with the loan deal obligation to be made permanent. I hate clownlake. And can see why NJ does at this point, though likely more driven by an Agent who wants a payday,, but if he won't come back ******** him ohh and I repeat ******** clownlake.

I think the lack of an experienced strong, physical hold up capable striker on the team will really hurt us this year against the many bus parkers we will face. We are awful short and slender up front. Cue "Short People" by Randy Newman. We are a very expensive old days Sunderland/Burnley living off corners so far. Hopefully Guiu steps up huge, Enzo considers a 2nd way, and we stay lucky with var and results.

Also in a better mood than it sounds this Holiday.

 

Nico to Munich
• €16.5m loan fee
• €65m obligation to buy
however to make the obligation to buy come true NJ will havee to play a lot of games and so my guess is that he will be returned to us next summer.

 

It does all seem pretty curious. George seemed like a talent, why let him go? Jackson is certainly a better option than Guiu but we already pissed him all the way off. Lots of wingers, tho.

 

The George deal was not completed in time in the end so still ours, a good thing I think.

Sterling still ours also, a very expensive water-boy at 300k/week. Refuses to go to Turkey or to the Saudi League. The new Bogarde?

 

I think so, thought perhaps Saudi might have interested him though I guess it depends on how long is left on his contract, is it his last season under contract? Perhaps he's hoping to pick up a Premier League club on a free next season.

 

According to NY Times still 2 years left at 300k a week (30 million + in wages left)

 

325k a week until 2027. He has no desire to leave London. He is totally based in London with his family and doesn't want to go anywhere else.

Charlton, Millwall or maybe he will return to QPR?

I thought Brentford might have been an option for him or West Ham?

But yep, he is the new Winston Bogarde.

 

We have four left wingers Neto, George, Gittens, and Garnacho.
Actually 6 on the books if you also include Sterling and Mudryk LOL

I get that with 5 subs a manager can easily use 4 wingers in a game, but this is still a bit ridiculous.

 

He is a family man wants to say in London

 

Seems clownlake really pissed off Jackson, according to Bayern exec Hoeneß, NJ and his agent paid over 3 million of the loan fee themselves, with Bayern in for 13.5 million. Hoeneß, further says 40 matches is the trigger point to make the deal obligatory and that Jackson "will never get 40 matches...", sounds like contractual bad faith from the go.

 

Even worse than that I think. Maybe its the translation but I saw "40 games from the start" and read that to mean that the requirement is that he starts 40 games, not just 40 appearances. Which yeah, is not gonna happen

 

We will know by Christmas if he is coming back for certain. I mean he may only make 25 appearances but they still might like him.

Conor to Spurs? Gross.

 

Gueh to Man City for 20 million but we are going to pay 65 million + for Jacquet

" is considered an ideal choice to strengthen Chelsea's defense, given his technical abilities that align with the club's current transfer market strategy, as
well as his capacity to make an immediate impact in matches from the very first moment."

don't recall seeing him play so who knows but we seem to pay a lot for unproven players

 

Personal terms agreed for JJ. Jeremy Jacquet [20]. 50 or 60 million Euros.

I am sure he is a great young player. We have a bunch of young CBs and hopefully we will have the return of Levi Colwill at some point. What we needed imho was just one experienced CB to hold the team together. But our Directors of Sporting like them young.

We are not entering the transfer market to make money buying and selling players - this is a real misconception of recent years.

 

So we lost out on Jaquet to Liverpool and sent Disasi away on loan? Was Disasi worse than Badiashille?

 

No he wasn't

Cucurella has gone to Madrid. Are the idiots going back to plan A. Sell a good player and replace with an inferior version.

 

Apparently he wanted to leave. I am surprised we didn't ask for a lot more though wasn't he on a long contract?! Ultimately however it means that as of right now we are a weaker side than the 'relegation form' team we ended with at the end of last season. We better start praying we find a left back at the level of Cucurella (We won't because I'm not sure there is one........certainly not one for sale anyway).

We're f*cked.

 

Meh, his kid has autism, and I'd imagine that Cucurella would want his boy to get the help he needs in a more native tongue to his family than English. He has to think of his child's future, and try to maximize his development as best he can, while thinking of his family's future after he retires.

Your club should be commended for letting him go, because this is a scenario where family >>>> football. (Although, he should have gone to Barça.)

 

And I'd imagine that we should have asked more for him........we're not a friggin charity.

 

Reports saying we're hoping to get Hall back from Newcastle...........I don't know his contract situation but I will be surprised if Newcastle let him go if they can help it. We gotta start praying we can make this happen.

 

Maybe? Or maybe madrid had a limit on what they'd spend on the position? Or maybe your club and the player had an agreement to let him go to Spain, because of his kid.

Sometimes in life family >>>> football.
