the great thing about Silva going to Man City is that 40M euro or whatever figure is probably massively understated Never forget that Monaco got Van Gaal to spend all the money on Martial

Lot 49 posted:The people who broke the story on twitter said it was 70m Euro. Which is much more believable and a pretty fair price for an excellent player. Yeah that sounds more accurate. Silva is really good, too, although I do wonder why they didn't spend that money on full-backs.

Gigi Galli posted:I actually think that Inter is just offering a better deal. No CL but a lot of freedom and already a pretty decent set of players. Their problem was absolutely management this year, if he can get the team motivated they'll be just fine. you're not gonna have Roma fans hassling Spaletti's kids over his handling of Totti at Milan either, so that's probably a bonus

Bea Nanner posted:Vieira is well bought into the saudi ecosystem. I have a hard time seeing him leaving that money behind. He might not even be a step up from Galtier, who somehow managed to get them a Cup win in the era of PSG turning the league into the Scottish league It looks like Torino will not pick up Joe Hart and are looking at Big Salvatore Sirigu from PSG EDIT: OM have put in an offer for Iker Casillas, and are negotiating with Crystal Palace to bring back Steve Mandanda. If neither of those go anywhere they'll stick with Yohann Pele, a 33-year-old with one season of Ligue 1 experience who nonetheless kept 15 clean sheets behind an absolutely appalling defence. Wild times. Tokyo Sexwale fucked around with this message at 20:40 on May 30, 2017 |

Raiola says Marseille and Dortmund are both interested in Mario Balotelli. I'd love to see him at Marseille, but of course, we're unlikely to offer CL football any time soon. Still, anyone who can get under PSG's skin like that...

Monaco doesn't have to sell him, they got City to shell out for Bernardo Silva and will probably get rid of either Fabinho or Bakayoko for a ludicrous fee From what I'm hearing Mbappe wants playing time more than anything, which, 135m pounds or not, he's not likely to get a lot of at Madrid since (apparently?) Perez and Zidane still rate Benzema. I mean if I were Zidane I wouldn't start him, not yet.

Bacon Terrorist posted:I don't understand why Wenger is apparently after Mbappe for all the millions when he could have Belotti for £87m (I know he won't spend that money on any player this is all theoretical) Arsenal was good with the old Henry Mbappe is believed to be 'the new Henry' Arsenal signs Mbappe and then Arsenal is good again But really Arsenal just has to get the word out that they're pursuing this player or that so they can look like they're serious about improving the team without having to spend shitloads of money. Kroenke would approve.

Dunban posted:Supposedly Bayern are close to signing Corentin Tolisso from Lyon. Any Ligue 1 watchers here who've seen him play? What kind of player is he? Lacazette gets most of the attention for scoring all the goals, but Tolisso is probably the best of Lyon's academy grads still at the club, since Umtiti went to Barcelona. He's a versatile midfielder who can also play at right-back when needed. I think he'd be a good signing.

Hegay posted:Funny how several Gestifute clients have had tax troubles. Maybe Mendes is not a cool rear end guy? Falcao blamed everything on Mendes so he has to go to court in ten days time. Pretty hard not to see a pattern when Mourinho, Cristiano, Falcao, Coentrao, Carvalho and Di Maria all had problems with the tax man. Mendes involved in shady, illegal financial practices? Will wonders never cease.

blue footed boobie posted:He's quite good if you just smash balls into the goal off his forehead and don't expect him to outrun any defenders. that doesn't sound like the beautiful poetry of Arsenal! Where are the shifting triangles, appearing and disappearing? Monaco signed Jordy Gaspar from Lyon - a youth product who couldn't find playing time despite Lyon having one of the worst left-backs in the league, Jeremy Morel. Despite their keeper keeping 15 clean sheets behind one of the worst defenses I can remember seeing in his (so far) only season of Ligue 1, OM wants to bring back Steven Mandanda if the price is right. I love Mandanda and all but if Yohann Pele can do that well behind a defense that poor, what could he do behind a more passable defense, I wonder. Ousmane Dembele has been approached by PSG, lol. If he wants a step up he'd be better off staying at Dortmund.

Marseille's striker targets this year are allegedly Olivier Giroud and Wilfried Bony, and they passed on Gabigol after being contacted by his agent. So, much like Riyad Mahrez, expect Gabigol to be the Serie A's best player next year

Akileese posted:It's pretty early over here so I was wondering why the gently caress he was holding a Boca Juniors kit in front of a PSG logo. One person makes it up, or hears it from a friend of a friend of Giroud's and then it just takes off. It's like how Dimitri Payet would keep telling people his family missed the south coast of France and didn't like London and hadn't adapted to living there, but he was definitely going to Arsenal.
