Nacho Monreal (Out)

[El Duderino]

Which season was it he chipped in with quite few league goals?

Wenger's last, no?

Man was on fire.

On the other hand, @YeahBee already cracked open a bottle and is looking for another agenda to merchant.

Poll to see where he sets his tent next? My money is on the Guendo thread.

Funny it is an agenda if it is something you dont agree with...

Im not onboard the Gwen hypetrain

They have quite a few young starting players so this could be interesting.

Take note, Kos. If you don't act like a massive **** the club will do right by you.

What is the club thinking? Monreal has looked quite good this season and without him we’re stuck playing 3atb until tierney is ready which will take ages. This only weakens our chances of finishing top 4, sell in January. I doubt sociedad’s season will depend on him anyways.

 

[NieThePiet]

I still don't think this will happen

It's just such a unnecessary risk for us. Kola hasn't shown so far, that he is able to play in a back 4 and often had some small muscular problems.

We all have no idea how Tierney will come back from his injury (and how fast he will settle in the PL), hopefully we will not rush him now.

One injury from Kola and i have no idea what is happening. And EL is starting after the international break too.

Not sure about this, Monreal is way less past it than Kos and it is outrageous for us to get less for Monreal than what we got for Kos. Any offer from Sociedad less than 5 million should be rejected without a thought by Raul. ‘Preferential option’ is worthless when we can't force players to join us and if the player really wants to join us then Sociedad can't stop him.

I'd hope the club isn't silly enough to agree to a simple preferential option. I think it'd be a bit more explicit and complex.

BDR dropping bags on the forehead of Real Soc.

Our transfer strategy has undertaken a full 180 turn this summer. We entered with a reputation for being indecisive, archaic and needlessly protracted in dealings and are now comporting ourselves in a modern and inventive fashion.

Mikel Oyarzabal and Alexander Isak are interesting young forwards and it's entirely possible Sociedad will make permanent Martin Ødegaard's loan. This is good business (though I would prefer to keep Monreal to January).

 

[Maybe]

It's just such a unnecessary risk for us

What's the risk of losing the most average player on your team? I'm sure we can find someone else who can pass the ball back 90% of the time.

Preferential option might just be a bad translation, I think he means getting first refusal on some players.

We're finally signing Illarramendi.

An excuse for me to post this

ALways gets me.

 

[Garrincha]

Sale timing makes little sense. Specific deal details only really makes sense if we plan on making a move for one for their players soon.

Zubeldia looks perfect for the midfield but imagine a huge fee.

 

[ggunner12345]

Nacho has been a good player for us and he is leaving the right way. Makes sense as we have the tank and Tierney.

Mikel Oyarazabal or nothing!

Winger but he played both CF (false9 ) and cm at youth level

If Dani is a success Real probably gives him another chance

 

[Aevi]

I'd love to know the details of this, sounds pretty unorthodox.
