General transfer rumours

[Maly]

see the 'non' part of that, as in nonhime grown, i.e foreign.

Ha ha cheers fella. Note to self, must read the post properly. I missed the non part :)

I’ll blame it on my new glasses

How many wingers do Bayern need?

Are we getting anything from Rekik sale?

Sounds like Arsenal have activated Thomas Partey’s clause. Good signing for them that.

Disappointed we have not went in for Partey. Smacks of Liverpool all over again. Arteta would know who we have been looking at. Would not surprise me if he was on the list. Whether it is hacking or coaches leaving we have unwillingly strengthened the scousers and the arse.

Maybe sane out longer than first thought. G14 avoiding FFP and helping each other out.

just looked at the main web site to see how many squad players we have and i think its 23 ? so there is room for a couple more because of the 25 man squad rule

so i know its very late and pep and city never really leave it to the last minute but it would be a very big lift if we could get another one in

Abu Dhabi are a major investor in Nexen via mubadala

I have no issue whatsoever but at this time we are not getting the commercial deals we should be, especially in terms of the shirt deal.

As said before our image is tarnished by the media and it hurts our chances of attracting a major new shirt sponsor, hence why Etihad may well renew.

have no issue with what ?

not getting the deals we should ? How do you know ? I will keep saying this until you read it and take it in we have the biggest Auto sponsors one of the biggest kit deals one of the biggest sleeve sponsors second biggest commercial income in the league loads and loads of sponsors on the website and back of the programs lots not connected to the UAE

Btw most of us Juve fans wouldn't be too happy if we get Chiesa, especially at the price that Fiorentina are asking and with inflated wages. He's extremely lacking in a number of areas.

Aand...

Why is Depay joining Barca? :/

He’s Dutch. Koeman’s Dutch =must buy

Aand...

Better than expected in terms of cost, it's a 2-years loan with obligation to buy him at the end if certain conditions are met by the player.
• €3m for the 20/21 season
• €7m for the 21/22 season
• and if he meets certain footballing achievements we have to buy him in 2022 for €40m.

 

[Uffa]

Also, one-season loan for De Sciglio to Olympique Lyon, without option to buy. Better for him and probably for us.

Better than Braithwaite and Prince-Boateng

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Better than Braithwaite and Prince-Boateng

He’s a quality player but Barca are in disarray at the moment, aren’t they?

We need to hijack the deal.

Are we done this window ?

Oh if only pep and tixi had thought of looking at the website to see who is in the squad and what space is available!

Is there any chance we can land a surprise striker before deadline?? Missing a proper focal point up front, the false nine position hasnt had enough teeth generally, someone speedy and mobile who can finish(sounds like Sterling I know)......maybe Griezeman or similar!! I know Serge and Gabby will be back, but this season is crazy with covid etc and another string to our bow could be useful.

In short, no. It's hugely unlikely we'll have kept a major signing under wraps until now and get it through in a couple of hours

I agree really, is just frustrating whats happened so far, this season could well be a scramble, and having more options could be crucial, would like to see Delap start up front instead of Mehrez in the false nine position.
