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

I'm not surprised.

It always seemed an absurd rumour. Why would he choose United? It looks like they've been played by De Ligt's people to bend Barca to their will. United no doubt coming out to deny the rumour to calm down the fans that had started to get quite excited.

Sicario

Sky sports news is not a very credible source although I hope they are right about this one.

Balague, for what it's worth, also says United were never in the running. He says it's between Barcelona, Juventus and Bayern. With the latter two offering more money.

Lille are looking to Dodi Lukebakio to replace Pepe, should we just nab Dodi instead for much less than what Pepe will go for.

No. If we can get our hands on Pepe, let’s do that. Honestly, if we can get our hands on Pepeand then a Konate-level centre back, then this is a superb summer. We are free to promote some youngsters and look for some journeymen

Still comes back to IF we secure CL for next season or not.
If we do we can go after the likes of Pepe & Konate types, if not then we look to their replacements.

Either Man Utd have made a big offer but also know the player probably won't join them or they know the agent is using them to drive the players wages and his agent fees up.

Gazza M

raiola has fleeced man united on a few occasions. he knows how to use them to get the best fees for his players

Gunner89

We also got fleeced by him.

Did nothing at utd for 18 months but got mkhi a raise here.

Don’t want Fekir - he’s last seasons goods

ohboy

Wouldn’t mind Fekir, in theory, he could cause havoc playing behind Aubameyang and Lacazette. He would actually shoot when presented with a chance.

The issue is, what formation are we going to play predominantly?

If 4-2-3-1 then fine. If it is 4-3-3 then no, especially as we lack wingers as it is.

Anzac

Fekir is as much out of our price range as anyone if we don't secure CL for next season. Even then he's going to cost over 50m = this is Lyon and Aulas we are talking about.

I've never been impressed by him either. Good numbers and underwhelming play just like a lot of Ligue 1 guys. You just know he's going to do a knee again within the next two years too.

I think Fekir is a quality player but I just don't see where he fits for us, at his price range seems like too much of a luxury for us this summer.

I think he works as a replacement for either / both Ozil & Mkhi as an AMC either in the lone #10 role in the 4231 or 5212/3412, or even as part of a 2 AMs in the 3421. IIRC he also worked well with Lacazette, but he's not 'needed' if we don't shift at least one player from the attack, and even then we could probably sign Ziyech and another for what we'd be looking to pay for Fekir.

Claudius

Fekir is a good player. There are two big variables with him. That knee and Ozil. So wouldn't waste energy.

Gunner89

Personally I'd take Pepe for the Fekir type fee.

Not sure but think we could've had a chance at Hazard and Brandt if sven was here.

Hazard obviously not as good as his immensely talented brother but a very capable winger at a cheaper reported price than Fraser.
