Transfer Thread #18: Out with the old, in with the new...hopefully.

One of the links says that it's a loan deal for 20m with an obligation to buy? Why not then simply buy him outright? Same thing.

 

Isn't it obvious!? We're getting Pogba too!! Gotta save that money for that deal

 

FFP.

Maybe the club plans on spending huge amounts in the next few days so an initial 20m on the books will probably look better.

Also they are probably still convinced on his fitness yet.

 

Maybe to make our total spend lower for this season's financial records.

 

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri Jul 26
EXCLUSIVE: Real Madrid and PSG closed agreement for Di Maria for 65m€. PSG will wait to announce the deal

This is why I claim he isn't reliable.

 

Palmeri isn't reliable. He just recycles news from all over the place.

DiMarzio is more reliable to me.

 

I don't think that is the case. FFP does not effect us. Our revenue is too high, and on top of that we're breaking even on incoming and outgoing.

That article states "with obligation to buy". I guess we'll have to wait for better sources.

 

I just hope we don't end up paying 60M for a 28 yo striker.

40M at most, and I'll be very happy.

 

Back from the dead! This is how excited Flo's frenzied panic selling/buying gets people.

 

Falcao trending on twitter right now. Clustered with rumours that Falcao to Madrid is completed pending medical/announcement.

20ME for a one season loan, option to buy to when finished.

 

Extracts from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", how novel!

 

The guys from Jorge Ramos y Su Banda said that it is a done deal that Falcao will go to Madrid for loan with option to buy and those guys are usually pretty reliable.

Will he get a presentation even if he comes out on loan?

 

How did he go from 12 to 20 million loan in a week?

 

#RMCF have signed #Falcao, according to reports in Spain. Interesting! #ASMonaco

Well, the 12 ME could have been fabricated, the 20 ME might be fabricated, or they may have negotiated a lower option price.

 

This is what I'm hopping for. The loan price is too damn high, so the option to buy price better be relatively low. Maximum 30.

 

"Falcao tiene MÁS INTERÉS por el Madrid, que el Madrid por él" afirma @Manu_Sainz

Cadena COPE/ Marca Assistant Director Carpio: Radamel Falcao was offered to Florentino Perez but Real Madrid rejected chance to sign him

Mendes is trying to sell Falcao after Real Madrid rejected him. Juventus & Man City showed their interest today in Monaco. [@Carpio_Marca]

So Marca's Assistant Director says we've rejected Falcao so City and Juve are most interested. Wtf? They just came out and tweeted this..

If Manu Sainz is now saying we aren't interested in him, there might be some truth. Isn't he a Mendes puppet?

 

Basically, Spanish sources saying we're unlikely to sign Falcao.

 

Yup, COPE said tonight that Mendes really wants to sell us Falcao, but the club doesn't want him. Yesterday, they talked about 60M, what is crazy IMO.

 

Maybe that Italian striker rumor had some truth to it.

 

I don't know what to think anymore. I might just mentally log out until next week.
