Summer Transfers

[Manchester_lalala]

A hardbastard defensive midfielder?

Not necessarily, don't want a limited footballer who can just tackle. Nzonzi fits the bill for me. Tall, strong, good footballer and he's played in England before.

Kolarov is having an excellent season.

We still need better at centre half than him...against the best he will be found wanting...and the couple of games he has played at fullback he has as normal been shit.

Out of interest what is it with Monaco players that people think they will be moving. Great place to live, pay well and don't need the money. Or am I missing something??

More money, more trophies etc.

They've sold plenty of players in recent years.

They get paid well, but the difference is staggering. I remember reading Bernardo Silva is paid like 100k a month at Monaco, he'd get paid that in a week here.

Because we played them recently so our squad next season will be shit without them.

Monaco's ambitions are not the same anymore. The Russian billionaire who bought them, initially had planned to follow City and PSG model. Thats why Falcao and Moutinho are there. But their owner lost about half of his wealth in some court case I think. Monaco are now Porto, Benfica type club. Scout young stars and sell them on for big cash.

No, no no. This is completely false. He tried to do the PSG route but saw he was too late with FFP, so they changed tactics to the buy young model they have now. Their ambitions are exactly the same, they are just going about it a different (and IMO much better) way than PSG.

And he did not lose half his money in a divorce. He didn't even lose £2.6m.

He offered her about $900m, she won the divorce and he was ordered to pay her $4.6m (this is where the rumours of losing half come from) but he successfully appealed and in the end she got only $500m - less than he offered her on day 1.

As of now, he's still got about $9 Billion, far more than the likes of Abramovic and more than enough to take the PSG approach to football ownership if he wanted to.
