  • Other clubs transfer thread summer 2019 edition (Official: Madrid sign Hazard)

That’s a really good price if it goes through. One of the top emerging striking talents.
Hard to see why we would make an approach. We have two really good strikers, one still in his prime. How do you make an investment in a guy like Luka when you still have two guys like Auba and Lacazette? You’d need to sell one.

Pogba sending mixed messages - backing Ole but also saying he'd love to play for Real Madrid.

Jovic will never go for 50m no chance. Hes already one of Europes best strikers at 21 ffs, ice cold in front of goal, two footed great in the air, pace and strength and hes showing real playmaking qualities in the last few months. Wouldn't even answer the phone below 70m

Is he a poacher type or an all round striker?

Jones is the expert on Jovic, but I'd say he's an all around striker. Doesn't have many weaknesses, if any.

I think he is going to for a lot more than that initial offer. There are many teams desperate for a forward next summer like Real.

Watch out for this kid this summer:

I think he will go for a boat load of money. He's already got women sending him nudes on Instagram 😆

man united have been hovering around him for a while. he looks pricey based on that comp alone

Joa Felix is good looking as well, next Cristiano Ronaldo? Probably worth a lot of image rights in near future, worth an investment.

Jovic seems to play deeper whenever I seen him and yet he scores a lot. Really remind me of a young Aguero in style.

So many top striking talents emerging currently, we better be proactive to secure one first option

Saul going to City for about 80m it seems

Chelsea can't register new players this summer, can they? If they lose Hazard, can see them falling out of the top 6.

Barca may be looking to offload Umtiti if they sign De Ligt, looking like they will get him. Ordinarily I'd say we should be all over that but we ain't got a chance in hell tbf.

Also Barca doing some unreal transfer business, buying up all the top young talent.

If they get De Ligt, why would they offload their other great CB? They use two.

Have they signed any young forwards? They can't rely on Messi forever. 

They are rumored to be after Jovic, although he is probably more of a Suarez replacement. I hope they make a bid for some of the City guys like Sterling, KDB, Bernardo. They’re Barca-level players, and we could do with some weakening of the Citizens.

They'd have De Ligt, Umtiti, Lenglet, Todibo & Pique all fighting for two positions. Can't see them offloading Pique, they've just signed Todibo & Lenglet so you'd think it would be Umtiti.

They have Dembele and look like they will be sign Jovic as well. That should be two of their front three sorted!

There are rumours of them sniffing around Lyon's Mendy as well

Frankfurt's other forward is supposed to be good too- Haller

Supposed to be a bulldozer.

We need mobile strikers, enough of those bulldozers unless his name is Ibra.

I think it will be a great idea to pick up scraps from the top clubs like Madrid and Barca. Juventus uses this way to rebuild their squad and then pinch top talents from smaller clubs in their league.

I had a slim hope that isco would be dislodged. Him and solari weren't getting on. Zizou might re-engage him now

Asensio as well, he can't be happy with his lack of playing time. Odriozola might we worth a punt for a backup RB
