Summer Transfers 2020 - Sponsored by Corona™

[Don]

Wilder should make him into a proper player, his finishing is ridiculous and Wilder will make sure the rest follows.

I've seen pieces saying 'clubs still spending billions, WHAT COVID?' but you look at the likes of Barca and Real's disgraceful squads and likes of Tarkowski, Benrahma and the big EPL clubs' bloated squads and it's pretty clear to me the impact it's had even at the top level.

[John Arne]

The BILLIONS shtick is particularly silly given it's generally the same money just moving from club-to-club. Liverpool sell Brewster to Sheff Utd for $30m, they then use that $30m to buy Mbappe, and PSG use that $30m to purchase Sander Berge. Suddenly, its ALMOST $100m SPLASHED ON COVID TRANSFERS!

[Andy]

Also you never know how these deals are structured and it's the same with player contracts.

I bet there are a lot more break clauses and cuts etc built into them now.

[Spammer]

Do any Liverpool fans have an opinion on Rhian Brewster?

[Gray Fox]

Do any Liverpool fans have an opinion on Rhian Brewster?

Would score many in the Championship, but never tested in the Premier League. Doesn't really suit our style unfortunately.

That we got a buyback clause in there says we think he could make it. He's just at that stage where he needs games now and I think the Championship is beneath him. A decent fee for a kid who has played what, 1 or 2 league games?

EDIT: He never did actually. 3 cup games was it.

[Mike]

Do any Liverpool fans have an opinion on Rhian Brewster?

Had bags of pace and apparently a great eye for goal. Glad we got the buy back in. Hope he does well.

[-james-]

Are United really signing Cavani? What's wrong with them?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:face:

[Kikó]

It's all part of the plan. Him plus this kid:

[Raoul Duke]

Falcao went so well, so we thought we'd do the same again. He can play right-wing or centre-back, yeah?

[randomlegend]

Banter. We've also signed a 16 year old centre back today, France under-17 captain. That winger from Partizan is meant to be finalised soon too.

Dominating in 10 years time after hoovering up every good 15-16 year old in Europe :drool:

[Kikó]

He's not falcao in the sense that he isn't coming from a terrible injury.

[randomlegend]

Stone seems to be suggesting it's a 1+1 deal, not straight 2 years. If that's true and the wages aren't too insane, it's not a terrible signing as cover up front (Ighalo goes back to China in January).

Well it wouldn't be if we'd actually signed a winger and a left back anyway.

[Kikó]

10m to his agent as well.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54404308

Cavani done, ffs.

Well will be when he flies over tomorrow.

[Giggles]

They’ve turned into some shithole joke of a once proud club. England is the wrong league to try that muck.

[niko_cee]

Whilst I can sort of see Cavani being alright for United (providing he isn't a wreck) their transfer policy is pretty fucking unfathomable. I'm also slightly sceptical about the feasibility of him, Fernandes, Pogba and a pick of two of the wide forwards (not to mention Donny) being workable in a side if you have any desire to not be completely overrun.

It seems increasingly likely Pogba's going to be asked to stink up the joint as a 6/DM.

[Giggles]

They’re all just for greasing agents paws like the Spaniards do. The main difference is you end up 7th in England instead of the guaranteed top 2. Man Utd should never have let themselves get turned into an agent tool in such a short time from being a proper winning club.

[Lewis]

I think it would have been seen as a smart move three months ago (they need another striker, and he can also give Marcus Rashford a rest), so it's a good signing football-wise; but yeah, lol at having to make it now.

[Lewis]

Needless to say, if he's on half a million quid a week then maybe not.

[niko_cee]

It's ok, he's 'within the pay structure'.

:lol:

[Lewis]

The 'agent fee' just goes to him right? Because otherwise, if they told his agent to fuck off, what, he's going to sit at home for a year in solidarity?

[Don]

He's barely kicked a ball since 2006, right? He ain't starting, he's just there to get the FIFA nonces excited.

[Lofty]

Is the Sancho deal dead then?

[Giggles]

Would have to have been alive first.

[Kikó]

They’re all just for greasing agents paws like the Spaniards do. The main difference is you end up 7th in England instead of the guaranteed top 2. Man Utd should never have let themselves get turned into an agent tool in such a short time from being a proper winning club.

Yeah before it was just Fergie, his son and Pin Zahavi which was much more wholesome.

Class for my Corinthians side on FM20.

[John Arne]

So, Man Utd are spending nearly £500,000-a-week on Ighalo and Cavani. Can't wait to see Soldado come in January to replace Ighalo on 300k.

And still no director of football.

[Spikey M]

Alex Ferguson must be digging his own grave just so he can turn over in it.

[SvN]

Cavani is the Ighalo replacement by the sounds of it. I can't say I'm thrilled with it, but at least it's only a short term contract.

[Manc]

Sneijder imminent.

[Gray Fox]

Surely United cut ties with Ighalo now?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd rather we cut ties with Woodward.

[John Arne]

Surely United cut ties with Ighalo now?

Contracted till 30th Jan 2021
180k-a-week

[Kikó]

1312742689054625793?s=19

Random Norwegian bloke says it's on.

[Giggles]

Settled then.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This is proper small time.

We're going to "pull out" in the final couple of days (despite it never actually being on) and then piss that money on someone else shit whilst failing to improve our defence.

[Gray Fox]

Dalot to Milan is done.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

1312764496830660609

[Giggles]

Leandro Damiao is heading for White Hart Lane as we speak.

[Giggles]

In trying to find his name I stumbled across Alexandre Pato. Fucking hell that went to shit.

[Gray Fox]

In trying to find his name I stumbled across Alexandre Pato. Fucking hell that went to shit.

Free agent these days. If I remember right he was a pace merchant that did his hamstring multiple times over and lost it.

[Giggles]

Neville near has Cavani as Pele :D

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Free agent these days. If I remember right he was a pace merchant that did his hamstring multiple times over and lost it.

You'd think some foolish team would take a chance on him though. Can't even get a job in Brazil.

[randomlegend]

Telles done for a good price as well.

If we somehow also sign a good right winger at the last minute we'll have had a good window. Upamecano next summer.

[Waffdon]

Good price for Porto since he could have went for free in 3 months

[Danny]

He could have signed a contract to move for free in 9 months.

[Manc]

Good window. :harold:

[niko_cee]

Shame about the football.

[randomlegend]

Luke Shaw has been a bombscare lately so hopefully Telles does comes in and makes left back his own.

Lololol 6-1 and everything, but I still think if we sign a RW today it's been a good window. I thought the Barca fans would be clamouring to get rid of Dembele but they all seem distraught at the idea; I think he's worth a gamble at this point.

[Don]

Telles will be amazing what with being a Brazillian full-back who defensively will no doubt get found out but who can hide it with penalty-taking.

[Waffdon]

Why is buying a lazy pace merchant who plays less than half the games a season solve your issues? You can’t break teams down unless you’re allowed to break on them.

You’ve bought a left back who cares less about defending than Luke Shaw.

[randomlegend]

I never though I'd experience living in two people's heads rent free and yet here we are

[Waffdon]

Never thought I’d see the day a Dr throwing about the term ‘Rent Free’. What in the fuck.

Which FT account are you, weeman?

[randomlegend]

I don't know what a FT account is.

[Lewis]

Luke Shaw is shit. I have never disliked a United player as much as him.

[SvN]

His response to the opposition counter attacking is to jog as if he's warming up on a treadmill.

[Kikó]

He's a fucking awful player.

[Spikey M]

I don't know what a FT account is.

Apology accepted.

[Lewis]

His response to the opposition counter attacking is to jog as if he's warming up on a treadmill.

This is why I can never go too hard on Harry Maguire. He has Shaw and Pogba covering the fifty yards ahead of him, and his errors tend to fall between either being exposed there or out of position trying to cover there.

[Giggles]

He's a terrible player.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54417741

Who would have guessed that trying to sign a player below a club's asking price months after they set a deadline wouldn't happen?

[Waffdon]

Thomas Parety will be a good signing for Arsenal. Could be great but hard to tell if he’s a system player. Same with half that Atletico team and Liverpool.

He just steals from other reporters, really. Ornstien has been ahead of everyone this window and he says they’ve made a move

[Kikó]

He's a fraud. Can't believe how much of a god status he's given.

[Spikey M]

He seems pretty accurate most of the time.

[Ian]

Surely some of Randrew's Reddit dorks must keep some league table of who the most reliable sources are?

[Manc]

Choupo-Moting off to Bayern. What an agent he must have.

[Kikó]

He seems pretty accurate most of the time.

Well he's posting things close to completion which is already flagged by others weeks or months before. He doesn't offer anything new

[Spikey M]

Well he's posting things close to completion which is already flagged by others weeks or months before. He doesn't offer anything new

Which is fine on deadline day, surely?

[randomlegend]

Romano is a beast. No he's not usually first on stuff, but if he says it it's right 99.999% of the time. It's impossible to be first and right reliably because literally every conceivable transfer has been speculated by someone somewhere at some point.

On the Utd front, never mind the lol Sancho saga, the fact we've failed to get either Smalling or Romero out is utterly pathetic.

[Kikó]

He's not 99.99% right most of the time you gullible prat.

[randomlegend]

He's not 99.99% right most of the time you gullible prat.

Yes he is.

[Spikey M]

Unlike you to be this hostile towards an Italian. Did he knob your Nan or something?

[Kikó]

He'd knob your nan you prick.

[Waffdon]

Yes he is.

:lol:

Fuck me

[Giggles]

The lad from Atalanta looks about 12.

[Giggles]

He's not Italian this week.

[Spikey M]

:o

[Kikó]

Just like you're not British this week. :rolleyes:

[Spikey M]

I don't even know what's put him on the ropes here, but alas, on the ropes he is.

[Kikó]

United have had a bid for Sarr turned down. Banter club.

[Lewis]

United aren't getting top four, so lol at trying to make major signings next year.

[Spikey M]

Why are they fucking around trying to sign Dembele and picking up semi-retired strikers when it's clear to see where the problem is? You have the front end of a Beamer pulling around the arse of a Micra.

[randomlegend]

We're trying to sign Dembele because we literally don't have a right winger in the entire squad and we failed to sign Sancho. You can say what you like about the defence but we DESPERATELY need a RW.

[randomlegend]

United have had a bid for Sarr turned down. Banter club.

Apparently it was a loan with option to buy for £45m. They wanted a £25m penalty payment if we didn't take up the buy option. Our board getting mugged off by Championship teams, they are an absolute joke.

Apparently we can still buy from the Championship for another two weeks or something? So expect 14 more days of Sarr + Brookes rumours if we fail with the Dembele loan offer (which is we pay a fee + his wages apparently).

[Spikey M]

Just re-sign Ashley Young. Problem solved.

[Don]

The important thing about the Dembele signing that people seem to be forgetting is it'll really shore up the RB position.

My client will not be taking any further questions. Thank you.

[Manc]

Do wingers even exist in this day and age?

[Spikey M]

Do wingers even exist in this day and age?

I assume he means wide forward, which I thought Martial, Greenwood and Rashford all fucked about in.

Indeed

If we're being poncey about terms, a player who naturally plays on the right of a front three. We have nobody in the squad who does.

We've signed a second 18 year old right winger, this one from Uruguay, called Facundo Pellistri. Personally recommended by Diego Forlan I'm reliably informed.

Not like you really need him now you have Henderson. Seems a bit strange having four of you include Lee Grant for the English quota.

Exactly. Just let him go. Woodward treats players like nothing more than commodities if the Evra and Ferdinand stories are anything to go by, so not surprising.

He's my new favourite United player. Step back, Harry "eighty million pounds harry maguire" Maguire.

[Manc]

Woodward winning the window yet again. :cool:

[Luca]

All this nonsense about signing a stopgap player in anticipation of getting Sancho in next year is going to be hilarious when we finish 12th and he doesn’t want to join.

I’m expecting Falcao levels of impact from Cavani, so anything more would be a win. Telles is a good signing.

Fuck knows about the others.

[randomlegend]

Van De Beek is a good signing too. Given what players are 'worth' now after one standout season, I feel like some of these 20-30m gambles on talented youngsters are worth it. The fact we go into yet another season with no outright starting quality player on the right is a disgrace though.

[Giggles]

Didn’t Brighton buy a bag load of young prospects?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Also, Choupo-Moting's agent is a magician.

From a relegated stoke to PSG and now to Bayern Munich.

[Lewis]

Danny Welbeck had a cheap release clause in his contract, and yet again they have overlooked him.

This Chiesa to Juve deal has Buffon being teammates with both him and his father. Has that happened before? I suspect it must have (particularly if not requiring them to have played together) but my brain is not on tonight.

The Rahphina to Leeds deal seems very strange after reading what a Rennes fan said about it on reddit;

This transfer is a f*cking disgrace.

A promising player (23 y.o.), undeniable starter best forward of the past 10 months, with 4 years of contract left essential for our upcoming UCL campaign, when we only have 1 other RW in the squad ... and our board find a way to sell him for cheaper than we bought him.

Beyond stupid.

Big fan of these undercover moves of theirs. Not a clue who he is but if he isn't a Brazil international and worth £50m by next season I'll mouthfuck Giggles. I thought they might struggle in that department after Rodrigo but that Koch lad already looks serious and his coaching clearly makes wine out of complete piss.

Shaun Wright Phillips and Ian Wright played alongside Trevor Sinclair for Citeh and West Ham respectively, off the top of my head.

[The Merse]

Oh and a shit load of Cov players since Gordon Strachan officially retired from the squad in the same year as his oldest son Gavin came into the first team squad and went on to play quite a bit. The younger one, Craig was soon after that as well. Now, I imagine that’s a first in Premier League terms, one year between father and son making appearances?

I reckon they could easily retain most of their players in that scenario. You are still better off at Barcelona with a twenty per cent wage cut than pretty much everywhere else.

[Raoul Duke]

Lol if this gets Messi out on a free

[Lewis]

They're obviously not going to dock his wages, but you could easily abuse the locals and a few other happy-to-be-there squad members. The goalkeeper is hardly going to leave and have to work for a living.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Gotze has gone to PSV.

Am I missing something with Partey? £260,000 a week seems insane.

[Don]

He's got that ebony aesthetic of a man who is 15 years older than his age so await the alarming decline during that contract too.

Window for dealings with Championship clubs is next week, not sure if that allows Barca to make good on their shambolic window with a raid of the English second tier but Benrahma, Sarr, Brooks, Cook, Ameobi etc are all surely going to prove too tempting to sides like West Ham and Man Utd.

[randomlegend]

I highly doubt we go for any Championship players, not after buying Diallo and Pellistri on deadline day.

They definitely will (not that that's a good thing necessarily).

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

And no defenders :drool:

[Don]

If that Uruguayan creature plays so much as a minute of Prem football, it'll be because you're already relegated. And giving banter minutes to the African refugee doesn't cover the fact neither are, or ever will be, first team players.

You can all witter on about how retarded it would be for us not to be interested in trying to sign a starting quality RW from the Championship, but it doesn't change the fact that we won't.

I think they might think you actually are Ed Woodward.

[Offshore Toon]

Is Sammy Ameobi actually going to return to the prem? Crazy turnaround if so.

[randomlegend]

Aye, they've really sorted their business with two players who won't get any game time during the entire season. :cab:

Penarol's president (either him or the agent, the translation was a bit garbled) quoted saying Utd asked for Pellistri to be kept in a training bubble during negotiations so he wouldn't have to isolate as they plan to use him in the first team squad straight away

[Don]

:***)

[randomlegend]

He'll be on the bench against Newcastle

In the Champion's League squad.

[Lewis]

The Europa League training squad.

[Ian]

I can't believe you've made this decision to include him in the squad, Randrew. :nono:

I am Woodward and Ole. I am omnipotent.

Forest mate reckons unlikely, has been quality at times, bit shite at others, and in no way made it certain he'd start this year has Forest been promoted. But, would be dirt cheap, on account of having signed for them on a one year deal that's been extended only another 12 months.

We'll see.

[Kikó]

Santa's not real.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They could be relegated to League Two and the real quiz would be whether the Bury Echo's Paul Tatterbottom or the Droylsden Times's Stuart Northernname were more reliable on rumours about Barry Buntlewhistle joining from Hyde.

[Lewis]

United should have a policy of Lancastrianising its local youth products at the very least. Matty Greenwood. Ronnie Rashford. Eddy Laird. The likes of 'Teden Mengi' become Tommy Mathers or they get released.

[Baz]

Paul “Oggy” Ogden

I just put him in to troll so lol if he does.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Few moves on Championship deadline day to Premiership sides.

Joe Rodon from Swansea to Spurs for £11m

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54577706

Jack Butland to Palace for £1m

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54578568

Kongolo to Fulham for £4m (not like it's going to help)

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54578809

Benrahma to West Ham, £5m loan with an obligation to buy him for £20m potentially rising to £25m.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54578415

[Danny]

Butland is lol, they wanted ~20m for him last summer

[Kikó]

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/12951171/man-utd-fernandes-transfer-barcelona-real-madrid/

Two bits of good news hidden in one story.

[Waffdon]

Haaland a main target for Chelsea in the summer. That’ll end well with the way they set up with Werner lolz

[Lofty]

Mustafi to Barca rumours doing the rounds again lol.

[randomlegend]

We look like we're signing an Ecuadorian young midfielder called Moises Caicedo.

[Manc]

Don

[randomlegend]

He is black, yes.

[niko_cee]

Inb4 work permit rules make it impossible.

How much is that Diallo geezer going to cost? Should probably use the new rules to not sign him.

[Kikó]

£25m i think. Why do you think he's not worth signing?

The other lad is close but not signed. Loads of complications on his agent (or lack of).

[niko_cee]

Because he's 18 (?) and doesn't get a game for Atalanta.

I also read £38m, which I thought sounded a bit mad.

I reckon there's probably a moneyball type thing to be worked out with only ever signing players who are 22-26, and maybe free transfers. Under that age it's all hype and 'potential', which often never materialises, and over that you lose the sweet sweet sell-on prospects. If you actually want to be successful you can probably change the model to only ever signing players who are 24-30.

[Kikó]

I mean I've never watched him and he's more likely or not to be shit but if they've put some thought into it then you have to trust in the process (TM).

[Don]

If either of them make as much of an impact as Pellistri I'll chew on RL's smegma.

[Gray Fox]

Ozan Kabak is next. :eyemouth:

Seems I was a tad early.

[Baz]

Haalands dad spotted leaving Barcelona and going to Real Madrid. Hopefully for some informal lagers, and nothing else.
