Non LFC summer transfer thread

[The Nomad]

Shame it couldn’t have happened September 2nd after City spent £90m on him

I had similar thoughts.

I'm sure the FAs hand was turned when the move was close.. so not to allow for any litigation against themselves from City.

Holding off (for now) is still a blow for them as they have just 12 days to sort out two transfers to replace Mahrez and De Bruyne

Yea hadn’t considered that but like you say various parties probably have to declare they know no reason why this shouldn’t proceed, like a horrible oil funded wedding.

Even this aside it’s a shame imo because they’re overpaying and he’s still relatively unproven. Was kind of ok with him replacing KDB instead of some mega talent.

Who?

Sounds like Laporte for 30m too to Al Nassr..

 

[binomial]

Who?

Otavio at Porto. We were linked to him for a brief while last season or maybe season before. Ridiculous fee to pay for him.

 

[binomial]

Must’ve missed this 1…god damn.

So basically a loan with no fee which will become a free transfer in summer? What the bloody hells the point in that? “Free puchase option” wtf.

 

[rurikbird]

Crap, kind of wanted him here…

Doku? A sugar coated Adama Traore.

Pep has undergone back surgery in Barcelona, so is recovering for a few weeks, back after the International break.

Newcastle have signed Lewis Hall on loan from Chelsea.

 

[StevieM]

The question is - Did Pep get back surgery because of his head being shoved so far up his own arse that it hurts????

Or… get back surgery because he can’t quite shove his head far enough up his arse to satisfy himself????

Ernest Nuamah, FC Nordsjælland, in a record-breaking £21M move from the Danish Superliga to Lyon.

 

[Hansern]

He looks good and a great talent.

Isn't that the club that's provided the Danish connection which has helped Brentford so much? Maybe we could try poaching some of their backroom staff.

 

[ctlovesred]

Why don’t clubs charge a billion quadrillion pounds when doing business with City? 65 million seems quite reasonable in this market for an attacker like Doku.

Michael Essien is a part of the setup in Nordsjælland actually but the club you are referring to is FC Midtjylland (Jutland). I understand the mix-up

65 million is the *cough* official price.

Given that we could use some taller players, not sure we want to engage with FC Midgetland.

Don't let the name kid you. Those ******* Vikings are dirty great oak trees.

Lol, Mané working against us

@Holle was right to have his card marked

CHA-CHING ...if Bournemouth sell Solanke for 40 mil we might get as much as 8 mil of the transfe fee.

Damm it's only 20% of the profit

 

[Zlate]

Imagine paying 40m for Solanke
