Soccer Summer Transfer Thread...


C47

Recommended Posts

Felt like we needed a thread for this for all the soccer fans here to talk about the transfer window and where players are going.  

 

Neymar to Barcelona seems to be done though not official.  

 

Also heavy signs suggest Isco to Real Madrid, with possibly Cavani following him.  

 

Gareth Bale looks like he's staying a Spur after signing a promotion deal that makes him the face of the EPL next year.  

 

Falcao is going somewhere, the question is where?  My money is on Monaco.  

 

Rooney wants out, and I would be shocked if Cristiano Ronaldo was playing anywhere but Madrid next year despite some rumors that he could be heading to PSG or Chelsea.  

 

Finally one of the best young Strikers on the market Robert Lewandowski looks destined to leave Dortmund, but will the Yellow and Black sell him and Gotze to Bayern in the same season?

 

The Window opens up in just over a month and there will surely be a ton of movement all around Europe.  

 

Should be fun!!

Neymar to Barca is official, announced via his instagram and the Barca official twitter account.  Next big domino to fall is Lewandowski imo, and Arsene Wenger seems convinced he's been sold to Bayern.  Just dirty what Dortmund has done to their fans this year selling Gotze and Lewandowski to their biggest rivals.  If I was Klopp I would be moving on in my coaching career....

Sounds like both Manchester United and Chelsea are trying to bring Luka Modric back to England.  Chelsea rumored to offer 30 million, but I don't see that being enough with Real paying that just a year ago for him.

Good to hear about Bale... now if we could just pick up a LB, a creative midfielder for when Dimbele has any health issues, and one or two strikers that know how to actually score...

 

 

Things are looking up for my Spurs!

I mean he's ultimately bound for Real Madrid.  There's a 50 million buyout clause in his contract for next year, and because of Perez and Levy's working relationship Real will get first crack at him.  By this time next year 50 million for Bale will be an incredible steal....

 

My guess is Real buys Isco, Cavani and a Right and Center Back this year, lets di Maria play on the Right Wing another season and goes after Bale hard next Summer or possibly in the Winter if Tottenham is falling behind in the league standings (not that I think that will happen).  Then again Zidane seems to be obsessed with Gareth Bale, so it wouldn't totally shock me if they threw out a ridiculous offer Tottenham couldn't refuse.  It's not like money means anything to Madrid, just going to be very hard to move him out of the PL THIS Summer with him signing a marketing deal for next year....

Monaco continues their free spending, signing Ricardo Carvalho as a free agent.  Spent 70 million on Moutinho and Rodriguez, now Carvalho and Falcao is on deck.  They're nowhere near done from what I've read either....

I'm feeling like Zidane is going to go all in on Bale.  Lots of talk coming from Gareth's side via his agent now, saying they would be "honoured to negotiate a move with Real Madrid".  Still think it's going to be tricky with the marketing deal, but feeling like they will just keep adding money till Tottenham can't say no.  No inside info to support this, just a gut feeling after reading quotes from Zidane and Perez about Bale.  Not to mention it's got to be driving Perez insane that Barca beat them for Neymar.  A summer transfer window that sees Bale and Cavani come in to Madrid would make Neymar an afterthought....

 

Either way it's criminal that a player as good as Gareth Bale isn't playing in the Champions League.

French radio station reporting Monaco has put in a 25.7 million offer to Real Madrid for Angel di Maria.  Don't see that happening unless they are supremely confident they're getting Bale.  di Maria while not exceptional, is a very good player on the wing, and is not expendable unless you're bringing in a much better player at his position....

Bale is a reason Spurs even had a fighting chance for top 4 place. Dude is too good.

 

Yep, which is why he won't be there more than a year tops.  I honestly think Real Madrid is just going to turn on the unlimited funds cheat and keep putting in offers till Levy and Tottenham cave....

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
