Non-Arsenal Transfers Thread: Summer 2019

[Harz]

Joao Felix has immense potential. I was really afraid Liverpool would get him as a Firmino backup/future replacement. He's simply a more special Firmino.

 

[FluffyDoozi]

it's because he has release clause the spanish clubs and Portuguese clubs always put some kind of release clauses on their players.

Yeah but it still is mind boggling that they are actually paying his release clause. He was playing in their academy last season.

I don't know why their D.O.F is so highly rated because their transfers have been very suspect these last couple of years. For every Rodri and Parteh there's been Martinez, Vietto, Correa, Morata, Costa, Torres, Lemar and Gameiro signed for big money.
And now they are going to spend 120 million on a kid who has had only season in his career.
At least Mbappe had shown more at a higher level for 2 seasons.

Really happy for Atletico Madrid there, from all the possible scenarios that are remotely realistic, it's the one that makes me happy.

I know Barca is huge and Felix is probably not quite ready for them, but gotta think AM got the better investment here in the long run.

Barca will always be (one of) the best team until Messi retires, but they should also look to secure their dominance for the future in the attacking area.

There are a lot of very special young players out there currently, already quite expensive now. Will only get worse and I feel there's a time coming up where even the top clubs will no longer go for the biggest players as they are just too expensive and the risk becomes to high.

what with Barca obsession with Willian.

 

[BenTal]

FFS! Willian is 30 years old now :rofl:

With the money being thrown around the last few seasons we are really missing out on the opportunity to get a golden ticket from one of these flush clubs. We need to develop that next Coutinho to sell off to one of these clubs to fund our rebuild. Only so many clubs will get the chance that Liverpool was given.

Sky sources are getting worse

Back around 07/08 I feel like Sky was a solid tier 2 source. It seems like they'd be lucky to rank at tier 4 at this point (of a 4 tier system).

That skykav bloke puts out a lot of West Ham PR. I think the owners must have him on a retainer or something.

They don't have any reliable people anymore sky Italy have di marzio and his big staff sky Germany got very well respected journalists

He definitely does, that United bid for Diop was a leak from the hammers.

I read today Palace rejected 35M plus 15M add ons for Wan-Bissaka Crystal Palace want full 50M.

Very happy with Felix, whenever I’ve seen him he seems really similar to a young Kaka.

I really thought Simeone might take a punt on Özil.

Simeone does not suffer milquetoast players.

He has spoken about Özil with high regard a number of times.

Simeone won't manage players who look all but done playing football
