Summer 2020 Transfer Window (Extended Version)

[Deutsch Wolf]

No idea why France don't call him up, particularly as they have called Sakho up fairly recently.

Aymeric Laporte has 0 caps. Do not try to understand the mind of Didier Deschamps. The spawniest manager in the world.

 

[Alan]

It is wild to think that they won a World Cup with absolutely zero depth behind Varane and Umtiti. It's not as if Pavard and Hernandez were world beaters, either (although Pavard did have that ridiculous peach of a volley).

 

[Nando]

Pavard and Hernandez are very good. They've got ridiculous depth at centre back but somehow manage to pick the horrors.

Umtiti was good but his injuries have completely ravaged him.

 

[Alan]

They had Adil Rami on the bench for the final, which is almost offensively stupid.

 

[Nando]

Oh it's beyond that!

Upamecano, Konate, Kounde and Laporte don't have a cap between them and would walk into most teams in Europe. Crazy.

 

[YoungWolf]

As Dan says, don't try to understand what Deschamps is doing

 

[Dire Wolf]

Read something saying we are considering selling Neto for close to £50m. I hope not, I'd sooner sell Jota than Neto. Neto is going to be special.

Much as I love Diogo agree with that 100%

 

[Boozad]

That doesn’t make any sense. Neto is going to be class. And I’d rather keep him and Jota.

 

[The Saturday Boy]

Buy low. Sell high. A very simple way of dealing with FFP. That sort of profit on one player opens up a whole world of opportunities. However, that sort of money on a player who spends most of his time on the bench seems a bit fanciful.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We aren't selling Neto. Not a chance.

 

[Tony Towner]

The clubs spending £50m on any player this Summer will be few and far between. The transfer market is going to be reset

 

[Paul]

Where did you read that ?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Quite. If United are trying to get Sancho for that amount :ursofunny: then no way anyone pays that for Neto at the moment

 

[Dire Wolf]

Where did you read that ?

I honestly can't remember and I can't find the page now, it came up on my internet news feed. I think it was from a Portuguese site, something AS maybe?

 

[YoungWolf]

Was a sport witness article I saw rehashing it from somewhere.

While I'd tend to agree that £50m for someone who doesn't start many games seems fanciful it's pretty obvious that Neto has the potential to be a proper star. Which is why I think Fosun with their business acumen would hold onto him for a couple of years to maximise their profit if anything. CL qualification will sort FFP out anyway.

[Alan]

I don't think we're so special yet that we'll never sell a good player ever again.
