Other clubs transfer thread Summer 2017 ( Barcelona sign Dembele)

Liverpool showing us how it's done. Beat league rivals 4-0, sign two players the next day.

Klaus

We got trashed and are selling two players though. Potato, tomato.

Liverpool really smart here.

They also know that they have no chance to get him next season, so they've paid the premium and tied the deal up. Could you imagine that ever being done here? We'd probably offer below the fucking release clause!

😆 So true.

Ballague running the story now that we didn't get Mbappe last summer was because we refuse to pay up to his parents who wanted 7-8m from the deal. Won't be at all surprised.

Spurs signing one of the most highly rated young defender from South America, Juan Forsyth to replace the terrible Wimmer who they have sold to Stoke for 18 fucking millions. That's how to do business.

Big Willie

Maybe it wouldn't be surprising. What would be surprising is Balaugue having any inside information.

JazzG

As fucked up as things are right now I still wouldn't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

Irishgunner

Swansea are in for Renato Sanches, it would be quite a coup if they can pull it off.

The Liverpool Keita transfer if true shows the sort of foresight and planning we are simply not capable of.

Clrnc

Transfers are all flying in:

Wimmer to Stoke - 18m
Balde Keita to Monaco - 30m
Vlasic to Everton - 9m
Shick to Roma - 40m

Thought he was supposed to be coming to the PL. I'd have taken him here.

Keita Balde's situation has been very frustrating for all the teams that chased him. It seemed like he wanted to join Juve for free and rejected to join Everton, Napoli, Milan, Inter and a whole host of clubs. He also has attitude issues. Lazio did well to get 30m euros for a player in the last year of his contract.

Clrnc

We got 40m for Ox who is on the last year as well. Imagine if he is on a long contract, we probably can get 70m for him. Insane market.

If Chelsea uses him at WB instead of Moses they have got a very decent upgrade. As an attacking player his stats is absolutely shocking. He has created as many chances in his career as Ozil in 3 games, and scored as many goals as Draxler did in 1/2 a year at PSG. But as a wingback his stats is pretty good last season.

Definitely.

Keita Balde signing for Monaco might be a sign that they will sell Lemar to Liverpool. L'Equipe reporting that Liverpool have not given up and bid 80m euros and Origi on a loan (https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Liverpool-surencherit-pour-thomas-lemar-monaco/829577?xtref=https:%2F%2Ft.co%2F8ldkincEwr%C2%A4amp%C2%A71)

Tactics

Agree, the Ox in a wingback role is a different proposition. Better than anyone we've got at the club IMO (Yes, including Bellerin - better delivery, stronger weaker foot, strikes the ball better)

Hope Chelsea use him in an attacking midfield role

Qwiss

Ox can't defend for shit so he'll never be a top wing back.

Ricky1985

You think Moses can defend?

They seemed to do pretty well with him at wingback last season. Alonso's a terrible defender too.

Qwiss

They are both better defenders than Ox. And its not like Moses is even a great player. Not someone I'd have been hoping for as a swap to Ox for instance.

Ricky1985

I reckon Chamberlain will be a star for Chelsea in that role Moses plays for them. One of their best players.

Qwiss

Well he was never going to be a star for us so who cares. I'm just glad to see the back of him.

QuincyAbeyie

Who cares if he's going to be good for the competion? A lot of people, I'd imagine. That's the whole reason for wanting to sell abroad.

Mirth

I don't either - seeing Fabregas and van Persie go was concerning and depressing but it's really hard to give Chamberlain a second thought.

I'm sure he'll be good - I just don't think he's a rarity and Chelsea would have found someone at that level eventually anyway.
