The chinese government have changed the rules there so that any club that doesn't turn a profit has to also pay 100% of the transfer fee towards local party members so they might not be spending massive money on players any more

They also changed rules with the U23 and foreign player rules so they deffo won't be increasing their spending imo

Griezmann has reportedly put in a transfer request and has maybe agreed personal terms with Man Utd

Not sure he's worth £85m or how we're gonna use him but yay I guess :toot:

Griezmann is not better than Zlatan, so in the end Man Utd will be worse off than the start of this season with him, thanks.

again, why would he leave real?

If the right offer comes in I think he'll leave. 17 injuries in the past 2 seasons, most of them in the same leg - we won't be able to build a future team around him. Also after 4 years he still doesn't speak the language - he had an interview with Cadena SER and it was real bad

Morata is in no way an upgrade or even on par with Zlatan, so so far United are weaker than last season. Thanks for the €70m lol

Zlatan assembled the same "rip up the minnows and struggle against the best" performances last campaign that he'd produced for the last couple seasons at PSG. Ibra is (was) a good striker, but he was also 35, walking around the pitch and poaching goals, not commanding big games

His match winning goals came against the likes of Bournemouth, Swansea, Leicester, Blackburn, and St. Etienne. Ibra scored 17 league goals and missed 18 "big chances" according to premierleague.com. Romelu Lukaku scored 25 goals and missed 8 by comparison.

Manchester United would absolutely have put more points on the board had they started Rashford every game he was fit and brought Ibra on as a second option. Picking up Morata is great business for them.

This is insane lol

Ranieri was going to become Nantes manager but FFF rules don't allow clubs to hire managers who're 65+

Nantes got dispensation for this rule although it seems pretty strange to have that rule in the first place. Sounds like it would go against equal treatment

So it seems every single newspaper is reporting the Ronaldo story and Jorge Mendes is apparently shopping around for a club for him. I don't even know what available players would be able to cover such a loss for Madrid

blue footed boobie posted:

There really is no one player who doesn't play at Barcelona. You'll probably have to buy a more prolific striker and a winger who can score a buncha goals to get back to where you were.

Of course Ronald was getting old, and you would have had to do this in a year or two, anyway.

Actually, Madrid forums says Ronaldo is not good anyways and it will be no big loss at all.

apparently it's to do with the spanish tax man saying that they now have decided image rights are taxable and want the last 5 years worth.

I'd move too if the tax man bummed me for that much money

It's because Ronaldo sold his future image rights in 14 when the Beckham Law was about to be revoked and paid 24% on €153 million instead of 43%. Procestutors find the amount to be too high and as a way of not having to pay taxes on image rights in 2015-20

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.

I'm having a hard time believe that this Milan money is real. I'm waiting for something to really fall apart. I have a feeling that selling Bacca and Donnarumma was probably supposed to cover a lot of this and it's looking increasingly likely that at least one of them will stay.

If Donnarumma doesn't renew this week though, I feel like the club should sell him immediately. I'm surprised there has been this much patience with him and that fat oval office Raiola so far to be honest. Big Silvio would've thrown him out at the first chance and then signed 15 garbagemen from Genoa and Joe Hart.

If that leaked Milan business plan is true it all seems pretty drat shady

He's only scored 20+ in the league once (but then tbf rooney's only done it twice) but he'd still be a big upgrade

Massive upgrade? After all this transfer is gonna be a replacement for Ibra

Griezmann, Lukaku, Morata etc are all great players and Man Utd would defo have been stronger with either of them if Ibra hadn't gotten injured and would have stayed with Man Utd, but neither of those players offer much more than Ibra did last season

Bayern have loaned Hamish Rodriguez from Real for 2 years with an option to buy him afterwards

Hm, with a loan we still retain the image rights I think? Might be why the club accepted such a low offer.

Post your favorite transfer sagas. Here are my best transfer sagas:

1. Odemwengie in QPR's parking lot
2. The babelcopter
3. Some club expecting to sign Berbatov and finding out that the transfer was off when his plane landed and he wasn't on it.
4. £40,000,001
5. De Gea and the fax machine

We've had a few ones this season already; Donnarammamauma, Arsenal sending a letter to Barcelona, Southampton and Liverpool, Dani Alves going to PSG instead of City, Diego Costa text message
