Put them all here guys. Who do you want your favorite club to bring in. Who does it look they will, and who have they. 

 

Real Madrid Rumors...

 

1. Either Pogba or Vidal will be in Madrid this season. Remains to be seen who Ancelotti prefers. 

2. Morata is going.....somewhere?

3. One of Coentrao or Marcelo is likely to be sold. 

4. Benzema may be sold, but that depends on Real's ability to acquire Suarez or Aguero. 

6. Casillas could leave for the Premier League, however it's unlikely Real fans would get their coveted #1 in Courtois. 

7. Varane has been rumored as a priority for Chelsea, but it's much more likely RM parts ways with Pepe than sells the 21 year old Centre Back who is regarded as one of the best Defenders in the world.

 

 

 

Not a rumor, but I still want fuging Reus on this club!!

 

Whatcha got guys!

Looks like Rickie Lambert is in Liverpool to complete his medical. Fee is reported to be £4m + add ons. I think it gives us solid depth for a few years.

 

We have also agreed to a fee for Emre Can from Bayer Leverkusen, but the issue has been meeting the player's wage demands.

 

Sevilla has also rejected our £16m bid + Suso for Alberto Moreno. They want an additional £2m and have no interest in Suso.

Arsenal officials scheduled to meet with Real Madrid over transfer(s).

 

Possible players:

 

Benzema

Di Maria

Morata 

Khedira 

 

Arsene want world class striker so it looks like Benzema is the guy.  Multiple sources also reporting that Benzema is open to a move to Emirates. 

 

I'd love Di Maria/Benzema combo.

Sky sports reporting that Fabregas is leaving Barcelona and returning to England.  

 

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11670/9333158/transfer-news-cesc-fabregas-set-to-leave-barcelona-and-return-to-the-premier-league-sky-sports-news-understands

 

His release caluse is £30m. It looks like Fabregas might be coming back to Emirates.  

 

That would be one sick midfield with Wilshere, Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil and Fabregas.  Still need a winger and Striker.

Stay away from Di Maria. He's garbage... :lol:

 

Arsenal almost got him last year but Di Maria refused to move.  It was supposed to be a package deal Ozil/Di Maria for like $90m.  It looks like Arsenal might try to get him again in a package deal with Benzema.  I think Di Maria is realizing his time in Madrid is limited.

I don't think it is. He flourished as a midfielder.

Is it though? He had the best year of his entire RM career playing as an attacking mid. I think some would argue he may be better off there. The entire attack for RM moves around constantly anyway, so I'm not sure the position designation really matters.

Liverpool have increased their offer for Adam Lallana to £25m. It's a take it or leave it deal. If they say no, Liverpool will move on to Bayern Munich's Xherdan Shaqiri. £25m is too much for Lallana, so I sort of hope the deal falls through.

I hope it falls through, SH realizes that they are asking too much, and we can get him for 20m or less. I also hope Santa brings me a brand new Porsche too, which is more likely to happen than all that, lol.

Might want to add Lallana to the entrance list. Hearing Pochettino is very keen on bringing him in. Don't blame him.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
