Eueopean and English football summer transfer thread 2020 - Page 15 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Such a terrible moment for Koeman to take the job. Only reason to take it is because it's his dreamjob I suppose.

The Netherlands have a pretty good new generation, while no one expects much at the EC next year, he could do very well with this team. Same in the WC in 2022.

So terrible moment to leave Holland and a terrible moment to enter Barcalona

Apparently he's told them he won't renew and wants a new challenge.

Because they can sign him for a free in January. Probably just a negotiating ploy to drive the price down as much as possible.

This is why they sold Arthur to Juve and bought Pjanic. Selling Arthur for 30m or whatever they got for him gives them a profit on paper as they get to report the income right away and can spread the cost of buying Pjanic over the life of the contract.

Barca should take this next season as a true rebuilding year. Make Puig/Fati regular starters and let them get comfortable. This might be the last chance to get some money for Suarez so the time is now. And sell the other old guys like Pjanic lol

If Barcelona will be in the red in 2021, the current board has to pay that amount. Messi's contract expires in 2021, too.

Are Barca currently in the red? If so how much?

Pretty fascinating. The Arthur pjanic deal is hilarious and while maybe obvious never thought of it the way Liverpool laid it out. What a disaster

it's really bad that at a moment where they should be spending loads of money to rejuvenate the squad they're instead focused on balancing the budget because of some dumb made up rules

there's variance in football and being forced to balance the books in bad years doesnt make sense

maybe they are/would be when they next release their finances, but they've run a (small) profit the last many years

Struggling to rationalise us being back in for Hendo with us supposedly spending all the money on Ramsdale. Either the Ramsdale deal is off, it's a cunning plan to get Ramsdale's agent to stop taking the piss, or it's bollocks

Lost a bit in the shuffle David Silva went to Real Sociedad on a free. He apparently was pretty deep in talks with lazio then Sociedad hijacked it and lazio were rightfully miffed with him lol. He’s probably thrilled to be back in Spain. Good for him

Last I heard a few months ago he renewed/agreed to renew until 2023, but it hasn't been made official yet because of the pandemic.

Even after next season, De Gea will still be on 375k/week for 2 more years btw, they're not going to just eat it on the bench to play henderson

A part of me still believes he's waiting to see if the party is in Paris now, if we can snatch studs from Real we really made it big time
