Who might be in for Lewandowski if Bayern let him go? Big US payday?

Rumour mill is that he's specifically pushing for a Barca move and isn't really looking at other offers, but there's always a chance that's 4D chess to get Mbappe money elsewhere

Would be interesting if that meant that they'd look at offloading De Jong in order to free up funds, but it'd likely be much easier to take a loan from the mob that comes due two weeks into the next president's term

Drinkwater's apologised to the fans for his transfer not working out. Feels like we're a step away from players turning down deals because they don't think they're good enough to play for the new team

No Chelsea fan suffered as a result of you getting a fat wedge of Roman's money to go on loan a load of times and I'm reasonably sure no Chelsea fan is losing sleep over you continuing to not play for them. It's literally fine. You're allowed to enjoy the money

I think the implication/rumour is that he went full Paul Merson, and he's sad that he pissed away his chance at a big club by being Paul Merson rather than the pot apologising to the kettle for being poo poo

What I've seen from United fans is that he's past it and they don't want any more Chelsailures, but for me he's only 31 and if he's available for sensible money I'd take him even just for depth

although tbh I'd sign Karl Henry at this point for the sake of having a loving midfield

updated noises from the united camp are that when rangnick said that united needed to sign ten players, he didn't mean now, he meant that united will probably sign at least ten players in the future

they're instead confident that ten hag can get improved performances out of the existing players, which is definitely not something that should remind you of the part in portal 2 where wheatley tries to get the boxes with legs to solve puzzles

Has he actually dropped off that much? He's 32 and was decent enough for Spurs twelve months ago.

Feels more like he's reached the David Bentley point of having enough money (and European Cups) saved up to not give a poo poo about getting up first thing in the afternoon to go to training any more

he was a not very good striker for 5 seasons in a row. He was so bad in his first season that Wenger immediately paid an even higher fee for Aubameyang in the Winter window

for all the talk about Pogba, it should be noted in arsenaldna.txt that Arsenal paid £180m for Lacazette, Aubameyang and Pepe, and ended up selling them for *checks notes* negative ten million pounds

Is there a Pepe transfer to bold?

Anyway, Aubameyang and Lacazette were both good together on arsenal (this is matches they played together, and cause it's kinda confusing, that first "goals" column is goals where one of the two assisted the other)



Failing to sell your poorly performing, out of contract 31 and 33 year old forwards after they did well for the team isn't quite the same lol as letting your youth player go for free, paying €100 million to get him back, having him fail badly, and leave again on a free, but go off if that makes you feel better about pooshited

yeah, actually they were good, that's why we paid them to leave, because of how good they were

furthermore I'm glad we got rid because actually they were terrible, but also good

More importantly does anyone think Barcelona can get him to leave with 2 years left on his biggest contract ever?

By the power of winston bogarde, anything is possible

Eric Cantonese posted:

Really? I thought he was good and getting better. They need all the younger players that are still on an upward trajectory that they can get.

My understanding is that they did the Griezmann thing again of spending stupid money on a marquee signing for a position they didn't need, and then got caremad that he didn't immediately pull the Copa del Rey out of he own rear end in a top hat for what they were paying him

he'd be coming in on a free, so I'd be more than happy with it as an option for depth with Mata and Matic no longer there, but on his own he wouldn't fill any of the gaps that we desperately need

not unless he can summon the spirit of Michael Carrick from the underworld

surprised at Forest looking to bring in Henderson, as I was under the impression that Brice Samba was one of their key players, based on the 3 (three) games of Championship-level football I watched last season (and one of which was Scotland vs Ukraine)

I'd expect him to be first-choice for England within the next few years, so it'd almost certainly be an upgrade, but still seems like kind of an odd play

the feeling I've gotten from the fans is that Ten Hag has about as clear a run as anyone's ever going to get at United

it's one thing for a team that won the title to turn on David Moyes for not knowing what he's doing, but after last season he can basically replace the entire team with Dutch left-backs and everything's gravy
