    [FOOTBALL] Summer 2016 Transfer Window Thread: Pep vs Jose II

    I was thinking of starting this the other day, but couldn't be arsed. The first significant transfer of the summer has happened, much to Kikó's dismay:

    The Portugal international, who had a medical on Monday, has signed a five-year deal with the German champions.

    Bayern have paid €35m (Ł28m) for the teenage prospect, which could rise to €45m.

    If Sanches has gone to Bayern, think that's clear confirmation that Mourinho isn't getting the United job anytime soon. (Both Mendes clients)

    Mourinho has literally nowhere to go, does he? Unless he fancies Everton.

    He'll go to PSG and look pissed off for a couple of years is my best guess. After that he's done for unless another Petro club starts up.

    I've come right round to another year of 'LvG'. It probably needs a load more transfer business to work (both in and out, such as removing the temptation to start Wayne Rooney every week), but fuck it, imagine the SCENES if he won the league.

    Nah, they're signing Ben Arfa in one of the weirdest career turn arounds ever.

    Sacked by Newcastle and playing for Barcelona within 18 months is madness.

    Arfa solo goal against blackburn was nasty. He is technically very good, but did he have other issues.

    31m euros for a defender with one year left on his contract. You cant really turn down those type of offers. Hummels will go straight into the b.munich first time, will he not.

    Pile onto Bayern winning the Champions' League next year. Seeing as it will be impossible for him to bomb the league like he traditionally does, it will be interesting to see how Das Boot Room respond to his laid back, best mate manner.

    God I love the English media. Months of "UNITED AND BENFICA AGREE FOR WONDERKID" and nary a single mention of Bayern swooping in.

    Edit: Plus it's not necessarily as if he said "oh I want to play Champions League football, let me pick Bayern." Mind you, when we drop points to WHam! today we're going to basically eliminate ourselves, but if he was even TRULY considering United surely he'd have waited to see what happened with our final position?

    Another point, I wish I wasn't upset at the club for losing out on a player I've only seen youtube videos of. Modern football baby.

    Woodward to bid Ł15m for him once a week until August and then spend Ł40m on Darron Gibson.

    The milk thing is weird but this is another planet. What the fuck do you want to see in another year of turd?

    Not surprised Sanches went to a proper good club rather than united. Gains little coming here.

    How much of the failure of these two years, if you'd call it that, is down to Woodward/the board though? @Kikó

    Because if van Gaal isn't responsible for all those would-be transfers never happening, then he's actually done alright with a sub-standard squad. (In terms of league placement and cups - the lack of entertainment is another matter.)

    I also think it would be a strange time and perhaps a little unfair to get rid of him when the team has shown the most hope in these last few months. The front four are working well and if they can actually pull off one of those big transfers next year could be pretty good...

    It's down to the board for their lack of coherent approach or clue and massive underinvestment across the club for a decade (but they bought Tony Martial mate??)

    I think it's down to the manager our style of play and the utter boredom he's infested on us all. His choice to make full back subs every game, sell all the strikers, play Blind at centre back, play Fellaini and bring on that no hope from Wigan chasing a game twice. And then the Phil Jones corner...

    What's another year? Whoever replaces him will be spending billions, so stick with a proven loony who actually gives the youth a go.

    How can a striker make such a pathetic attempt in a one-on-one like Carroll did there? And what were United's defenders doing?

    Theo to West Ham doing the rounds. Rather keep Theo and sell Ox, but with his contract much closer Wenger will sell.

    He's one hell of a midfielder, and a great Conte-type player. He'd be a great fit for Chelsea, in my opinion worth €40M, which is Ł31M, so Roma's asking price isn't anything unreasonable.

    Do you think he'll play Fabregas? Nainggolan and Matic seem more of a fit but I guess they need one more.

    Mikel?

    Renato Sanches is the most Bayern name ever. That's a pretty big fee, though.

    Take notice: every other club ever.

    Bayern always seem to have their business done ages before everyone else. In fairness, all they do more or less is buy whoever's running out of contract from Dortmund.

    Depends what formation he goes for. If he plays 4-4-2, then Fabregas-Nainggolan would be the starting pair, but I'm not sure if that's his plan. He was supposed to play 4-4-2 in his first Juve season but when he figured out he couldn't really leave Vidal out he switched to 3-5-2/4-3-3. In that case, Fabregas could play the playmaker role in between Nainggolan and someone else, possibly Matic.

    Wasnt mikel left out under mourinho and then hiddink brought him back in and he has been playing good since then. Mikel is about to complete his 10th season with chelsea. He is due a testimonial. I will be attending.

    Many have tried but nobody has ever successfully seen off John Obi Mikel, so I doubt this shit haircut will manage it.

    Is he any better than Ramires was? If not, what's the point?

    Buying from Italy is demented unless you're thinking of pure defenders. The odd dynamic player looks like God over there. Like Mo Salah. Over here everyone plays at a much higher tempo.

    We've kicked off our recruitment plans by making a bid for Vermaelen. We're also apparently after Ousmane Dembele(a winger, yay!).

    My personal shopping list has a Goalkeeper, Centre back(maybe 2 dependent on Sakho) a defensive left back to cover Moreno. A central midfielder who can pass and a winger.

    One that can actually pass, I'd say so. Although to be fair I guess we already bought Grujic(?) and he's due to come in.

    The last thing Liverpool need is another central midfielder.
