Non-Arsenal Transfers Thread: Summer 2020

[Oxeki]

With the amount of money Chelsea have been spunking this transfer window, if they don't mount proper title challenge, lampard will get the boot and rightly so

If man city end up spending 70m on KoulibaIy they f**king stupid

No we’d be stupid to spend that. If they spent 100M on him and he flopped it wouldn’t matter.

I'm surprised City and Chelsea aren't after White.

City went for John stones and we all know how that turned out.

 

[Manberg]

City wanted Van Dijk when he was at Southampton but didn’t want to pay the asking price.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Angelino/Mendy
Laporte/Ake
Koulibaly/Stones/Otamendi
Walker/Cancelo

Don't think the full backs are ground breaking but CB options are pretty decent if they get Koulibaly. Still think they have this problem of just throwing money at the most talented player or flavour of the month in each position. Dont really look to create a good blend.

They also want Auoar when they have KDB, Foden and Silva.. No surprise

I think that ones just an easy media link tbf. But then again who wouldn't want Aouar.

Chelsea are spending so much money...gonna be hilarious when Arsenal beat them to Champions League next season, with Willian for free being our only signing and best player.

El Nenny counts as a new signing mate.

 

[Riou]

I don't rate Chilwell. Didn't he have a poor spell at one point and was getting criticism from his fans after getting destroyed by Mahrez?

edit: This is what I remember of Chilwell. Mahrez was destroying him all game.

Would have absolutely loved Mahrez at Arsenal...think we were linked around summer 2017, would have been perfect for us...such a shame.

Sky Sports using the best signing of the summer as the picture, good stuff.

We spent 70m in 2018 when he went to City. Should've just bought him and Leno from that money

 

[MikeVinna]

Napoli coming back for Gabriel then

 

[BenTal]

What are the other options for Man City? They bought a good and young CB from the league, and the best CB in Italy.

When you have money, it is stupid to overpay for young or no name CBs. This is exactly what happened to City with Mangala, Stones, somehow Laporte, Walker, Mendy, Otamendi, etc. I think Koulibaly is worth the risk.

Think Laporte was 100% worth the price. But the rest I agree with, not sure how such a fantastic team at getting the right midfielders and attackers in can be so bad with defensive transfers.

When was the last time they flopped buying a midfielder or attacker? You have to go back to Nolito being signed but even he was alright for a little bit Every attacker or midfielder since then has been elite and brilliant for them. Rodri, granted, has taken time to settle. But he is still a baller.

Also they've signed three right backs in the past two summers including this one, going under the radar a little bit...

But Pedro Porro for 10M from Girona, Yan Couto who I believe Barca and ourselves were interested in for 5M and then Issa Kabore from a Belgium side for a similar fee to Couto.

City have always done pretty smart business outside of the defence, they seem to be getting smarter with the defence as well now. And tbf the defenders they signed managed to nab them a couple of titles so.

 

[Manberg]

We wouldn't have been able to compete with City in 2018, we needed to get him before that.

Should have just sold Sanchez for big money in 2017, then bought Mahrez.

You should’ve said this in 2017. Saying things in hindsight is pointless.

 

[Malky]

Koulibaly just feels like a big money flop waiting to happen.
Ake is a good defender but the level between Laporte and the rest is huge.

 

[Macho]

Koulibaly is immense tbh. Pretty sure he will do well, a bit surprised at the “City overpaid” vibes I’m seeing here.
