2015 Summer Transfer Thread


C47

Recommended Posts

Same as the Winter thread. All 2015 Summer transfer rumors, failed deals, completed deals and pipe dream wishes go here. 

 

Big news today as Marco Reus has extended his contract with Dortmund and the new deal DOES NOT contain a release clause. Any club that wants the German superstar will have to pay dearly now.

Rumors are that Danilo to Real Madrid is basically done. Good signing for a young Right Back. Danilo is incredibly talented. My guess is Coentrao is sold this Summer and Marcelo/Carvajal/Danilo/Nacho are the FBs

Pogba linked to Arsenal... Arsenal got £100m to spend and the only holes are DM and ST. I see Cazorla, Arteta and Diaby all leaving this summer. So Wenger will be dropping some cash on midfield.

 

Wenger gonna spend all but 25 of that on Pogba? That's probably what it will take.

Wenger will pay 50m for Pogba but no more, if Madrid is wishing to drop 55-60m on Pogba then good luck.  Wenger will pick up whoever Madrid will sell at discount.

Not just Madrid. PSG/United/Arsenal/Madrid and a horde of others all showing interest. He'll be 60m plus.

Paul Pogba is really good, but he's not worth what a club will inevitably pay for him.

 

Probably not. At least not yet. You're also buying him for the ceiling he's not even close to though.

but it's not like it matters to a club like Real Madrid. You really think james Rodriguez was worth his price tag? Money is just an object to them, they can drastically overpay for Pogba but it won't matter. So I still think he ends up at RM

That was my point for why Arsenal won't sign him. They have a ton of money, but they aren't going to be wasteful. RM doesn't care.

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
