Other clubs transfer thread Summer 2017 ( Barcelona sign Dembele)

We should be building that sort of a team, not tearing it apart. Would rather get 4-5 high quality youngsters like Dortmund did last summer (I don't know if Monaco built with such intent or have a strong academy to keep producing players like Martial, Ferreira Carrasco, and the current crop) and at least enjoy the games rather than play stultifyingly with Giroud and Coquelin and Welbeck.

What do you mean. We just signed Wenger on a 2 year deal. He is better than all these United and City signings.

Liverpool linked to Mohammed Salah, good signing for them if they can complete it

Klaus

He'd be a smashing signing for any side in Premier League. I hope they don't get him.

dreamlord

They'd have a blistering counter attack with him in. But AFCON might screw with em again.

Thought Chelsea had him a few seasons back.

Didn't exactly set the league on fire

Claudius

Yeah. Let Liverpool have Salah. Not bothered

BWoolley

Absolutely. Apparently for GBP 40m. Crazy. And, folks, Lacazette's back on the table - Atletico's transfer ban has been upheld, so he's not moving there. And maybe that means no move for Greaseman either.

Yep, Atletico's ban has been upheld. Good on the authorities for standing up to them, a pity they weren't so strong in the face of Real Madrid's money and influence.

Lacazette's move will obviously now not happen but with Griezmann it might not mean much because he has an £86m release clause. So Atletico might not have a choice.

Yes, but he was only around 21-22. Also Chelsea don't have the best record with giving young players a chance. Young players who subsequently turn out to be pretty good.

Salah's been quite good for Roma the past two seasons - scoring well into double figures.

Plus did he even plag m(any) games? Seem to remember him having a Cuadrado style time at Chelsea with next to no minutes on the pitch.

Isn't Lukaku supposedly linked to a return to CFC, with Costa heading to China?

What was unappealing about them in the first place? They both score bags of goals.

Either of them would be a massive upgrade and walk straight into our starting 11.

Lukaku scored 25 league goals this season. Thats extremely appealing to me.

They also had de Bruyne and let him go.

Salah has scored 20 goals and assisted another 13-14 from the wing this season. Bloke's a class player. He's way too good for Liverpool.

dont see any upside in either of them. they both lack outstanding technical ability or skill for players with their price tag. neither will ever be considered world class imo

but needs must. we're europa level now so in reality theyre the best we a hope for

Agreed, Salah is quality, I wouldn't mind him as an Ozil replacement. If Liverpool can get this over the line and a striker, they will be a force next season.

Salah is an absolutely devastating player on the counter. With Liverpool playing style he will fit in perfectly. We should go for him to be honest.

Spanish transfer clauses are nonsense. You can activate it and the club can still reject it.
