2019 Summer Football Transfer thread (minus Chelski) - Page 31 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

The thing is that squad there, is one of the highest paid in the world. It's also had mega investment over the last few years.

Still requires a major over haul.

this is what happens when Smalling and Jones are given raises and allow Herrera to leave. /sigh

Bought too many of the ****ty Puma kits because Giroud could make anything look good.

Forgot Idris was a Gooner. We'd be in infinitely better shape if Stringer Bell was in charge of the decision making at our club.

Chelsea insist Atletico Madrid must pay £50m for Alvaro Morata or they will recall him from loan

I think I just might call this bluff if I were Atletico. Can't imagine a more unmotivated player on earth than a recalled Alvaro Morata.

I thought the advert was fine. Expected next level cringe. Think it is a good one.

Cant expect spuds fans to have taste as they do support spuds so something is off from the getgo

Che Adams to us seems to be going ahead (after multiple windows of speculation). Any people that watched the championship recently, is he any good?

Im starting to worry that we'll sell our golden boot winner to united to fund an overpriced Zaha, and let United get 25% of that back. We cant be that ****ing dumb, right?

Ceballos on loan with option to buy would be amazing given our bankroll. Hopefully thats one of the random rumours that have some truth to it.

The adidas video is indeed horrible. I could only watch a third of it. Our 2nd place EL trophy dvd will be of higher quality.

An unrecalled Álvaro Morata?

You get Gareth Bale for free as part of the deal.

if the leaked Woody email is true, then I highly doubt that we'll be in for Auba

Looks like United expected to nab Bruno this week too. Thought he was a load of fun to watch a few weeks ago with Portugal

I don't think anyone remotely credible has reported on that supposed interest. It's being pushed by the Portuguese papers (and some 13 year old redditors pretending to be ITK).

It kind of reminds me of the annual Gaitan nonsense we used to have. Would be very surprised if we're actually in for him and no one in the UK managed to pick up on it.

I like Rashford but he aint worth anywhere near that. 10 league goals last season isn't enough for that sort of dough.

not sure if rashy is gonna make it, especially since someone posted that picture of him looking like a teenager with learning difficulties, but hes still basically a child so give him another season or two

if it all goes to pot they'll still get 35m from southampton or whoever
