Rebuilding Madrid, One Pass at a Time - The Transfers, Rumors & Lies Thread

No, no, don't change the goal posts now.

Do you have any proof that 78 year-old Perez leaked Güler info to Fabrizio Romano?

 

The above is common knowledge. It's not like he's the square-headed Nostradamus. You literally stated his and nearly every transfer reporter's job description as "proof".

Again, where is the proof that Perez or Güler/his agent(s) leaked info to him?

You can ask your friends.

 

Ok shrewd big man with cigar, get some proof that Perez or Güler's camp leaked the info as opposed Romano trying to make Carbonara on his twitter account

 

When less reliable sources speculated Guler will go on loan few times in the past, Romano would rebuff it quickly. He's probably in touch with Guler's agent.

And what he said now is that Arsenal sensed an opportunity to sign Guler like with Odegaard due to Arda not playing as much as he'd have liked.

But that situation obviously changed when club chose not to renew Modric who played 2400+ minutes in La Liga and CL. Xabi has trusted Arda with starting minutes so far.

 

Bro, you just said it was the club leaking info. Now it's obvious it's coming from the dude's agent? Which is it?

 

Perez is leaking info. Sell him!

We already know who is leaving. Alaba and Rudiger.

Not that hard to work it out

 

Would anyone be surprised that the club pays for leaks to manipulate public perception?

Barcelona even did it with Messi and he was their god

 

Quite obvious we participate heavily in this and oddly use it as a tool to attack our own

 

Every player wants to boost their fame in order to get better salary or to get into bigger team.

This is why Fabrizio Romano gets paid by agents to post rumors.

Also teams want the same. They buy a post from Romano to boost the visibility of the transfer.

 

Do you have proof of this, or is it just something you’ve seen in private and have nothing to gain by posting it on a public forum?

Real Madrid believe that Ibrahima Konate would like to play for them.@MarioCortegana

Hope the smoke around this player is fake.

 

From Real Madrid mailbag:

“I haven’t heard anything about Van de Ven but Konate is a different case. Liverpool’s France centre-back is admired behind the scenes at Madrid. He is one of Europe’s elite defenders and his contract ends next summer.

I don’t believe he was a real option in this summer window, with all due respect to other reporters’ information. Madrid believe Konate would like to play for them, but we don’t know how hard Liverpool are pushing for an extension. Konate could be playing both sides in negotiations until he chooses the option that suits him best.”

 

He was there. Trust him.

 

I believe the smoke is real, as it's very much in line with the club's recent transfer strategy for defenders, particularly CBs. Alaba, Rudiger, Trent and Konate probably next.

 

Well since the 75+ year old was "caught", please share the message exchange and reveal the bombshell.

I'm certain you have nothing to gain by making this up.

I've been a Madrid fan since '97 and never have I seen a coach brutally defended and vindicated by the club's pens and fiercely more than Ancelotti starting from our unofficial spokesman JFD –who literally called fans critizing Carlo mid last season dogs–, MARCA, AS, SER, Pedrerol and Co.

 

Oh it is definitely Bosman boner material for JAS.

But let's be honest, it's not like Alaba worked out as well as the club wanted, eh? If he came to the club for a fee, say €60m, he would've been cursed like Jovic and Hazard are to this day.

I'm surprised the club consider Konaté "elite". He was a very good defender last season but apart from that one season, his career performances are questionable to say the least and his injury record is blasphemous.

Like Cortegana said, he could be playing the RM card to get a better deal from Liverpool which I hope is the case.

With 2 (possibly 3) CBs leaving next summer, we need a CB powerhouse and Konaté isn't it IMO.
