***Official Summer Transfer Thread***

[johnny crossan]

Why is it that the Spafia manage to turn virtually all our transfers, in and out, into a rip-off dogs breakfast? Fabinho is twice the player Danilo is - we wouldn't need him or Fred or Jorginho is he'd signed for us

Is that on the Spafia or Guardiola?

Watch on youtube.com

So they're one and the same.

You do know that Liverpool wanted Jorginho but when they realised they couldn't get him they turned their attention to Fabinho.

You know this eh, how very prescient. Maybe they knew he was Chav bound - wonder who we'll get when Fred is a a rag. Do you know that as well?

Well about as much as you know that Fabinho is twice the player Danilo is ( Tite doesn't seem to agree).

I think we robbed Real for Danilo.
The fella does not moan, puts on his shirt and gets in every single time he is needed by our manager and gives 100 %. Top fella, that looks like he is liked by everyone in our dressing room.
We need players like this, because, winning the title was "caused" by the fact we are actually a family.

So back to the topic, I am certain we are signing two-three really top players that will fit into this system Pep made.

Bang on Spidey. Every squad needs a couple of lads like him.

Reports that Mahrez deal is nearing conclusion , 50 million plus up to 15 million add on,s being banded around .

The Karius Effect:

Roma allegedly demanding £78m/€90m for Alisson, and expect Liverpool to bow down, but plan to wait until after the WC.

Ironically, we may want to back Alisson during the WC (Brazil #1 over Ederson) to improve Roma's position.

However, RM also interested so decent chance Liverpool get snubbed anyway.

On the rise of Mbappe to us rumours again...

I think UEFA will make sure PSG is penalised for FFP violations in a way that ensures they don't have to sell him, and in particular designed to prevent him coming to us as a result of this.

Curious if UEFA can limit transfers out as a penalty? If not then perhaps they can limit how much revenue PSG gains from selling players (i.e. less than 100%) to helping meet any new financial expectations/limits imposed on them.

So, for example, until summer 2019 PSG can only apply 50% of sales of players to reported revenues in order to meet FFP expectations. UEFA could argue they are doing this under some claim that they want to really punish PSG badly to make sure no one tries what they did with Neymar and cleverly with Mbappe again. Of course, they are also doing this to prevent us from signing him, as their closest friends don't like these "state sponsored clubs" from the Arabian peninsula. This way they UEFA could discourage PSG from sales of players like Mbappe until next summer, which means other clubs could come sniffing, i.e. UEFA favourites Barca or Bayern) and then Neymar can go to RM next summer as well.

I could see that being specified as part of any transfer ban because I think UEFA wants to come down REALLY hard on PSG. I could also see them banned for maybe 3 or more windows from signing/buying players, plus fines, CL squad limitations, etc.

Mbappe is still a Monaco player isn't he?

Well...yes, so that makes this scenario a bit more not the way it could transpire...hah. However, if PSG is not penalised until the summer window is over that would mean no chance of them selling just yet anyway.

Everybody over to the Mahrez thread

It was a loan for last season with an obligation to buy this summer for €180 million.

I couldn't be arsed to point that out , after such a long effort.

If the reports of £105m for both Mahrez and Jorginho are correct, I think in the present climate, that is very good business done by Cheeky.
I mean two quality players for the price of a Pogba. Not to be sniffed at.

very good business indeed for 2 quality players
our bench will be better than most teams first xi’s next season - as long as bravo isn’t on it!

I doubt Gunn would be happy to play 2nd keeper, but I hope he does and Muric moves up as number 3.
If Bravo moved on we'd have space for another transfer.
If Gunn was promised all cup games like Bravo was and perhaps a minimum of Prem games, maybe he'd being willing to understudy for a year.
It's probably most likely he will stay with Norwich though.

[Bournemouthcityfan]

We need to sign another goalie we’re fucked if Ederson gets injured this needs sorting.

[Saul Goodman]

West Ham interested in PSG’s Javier Pastore. PSG looking to dump quite a few to afford Mbappe under FFP

[sheblue]

PSG are a joke.
