The Transfer Thread 2017/18 - everything not Wolves

[Kenny]

I have often seen Mr Gloves likened to Neymar .

Been talking with his Sister?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

In all seriousness Mbappé would be the obvious replacement. Don't know if they could afford him though. As Nando says, they've neglected the squad and made some incredibly shit signings lately, the money needs to go elsewhere.

Alcacer is their version of Jigsaw Mason.

 

[The Bear]

His release clause is £195m, which would be €222.

Couldn't be arsed to add the Euro symbol #lazyfucker. Everyone knows European transfer fee's done are in Euros...hence 222m, which is his release fee so nah fuckin nah

BUT WHAT ABOUT FINANCIAL FAIR PLAY?!?

Someone better get Spiers opinion on this deal

probably a 15 year contract lol!

 

[Nando]

In other less high profile news...

Javi Manquillo is off to Newcastle. They're going straight back down for me.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Awful signing, turns like a skip.

With the crazy summer transfer market, I wonder how much George Best would be worth if he was playing in this era?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

About the same as Messi.

IE unbuyable.

Depends on if you assume it's Best living by his era's rules or by the rules of modern fitness/training.

One would presume by saying "playing in this era" it would be under the currentrule and fitness. If Best did 50% of what players do these days he would be one of the best playing now (he might have to knock going out on the night and pulling Ms Great Britain and keeping Champagne producers in business down a peg or 2 though)

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I reckon you'd be looking at £100m+ for Shearer.

He was going for silly money when moving around back then, so would easily be pushing that.

George Best in this day and age, with all the modern technology.

Paddy was right, money could not buy him. And in my opinion he was better than Messi, but perhaps this is not the thread to restart this particular conversation. Believe me though, Best was a genius.

West Ham have a £24m bid for Arnautovic accepted by Stoke

Nabbed Joe Hart on loan, too.

Weird team.

I laughed at this a lot more than a grown up should!

He used to have a few with my late father in law in Epsom when he lived there. My wife says the phone would ring and it would be her Dad " I will be a little later tonight- George is in". They all knew what that meant. Sad loss. Great footballer- nice man

 

[Nando]

So apparently Ross Barkley wants to be Spurs highest paid player.

Nice one Ross, you've really shown you deserve that, haven't you! What the fuck is wrong with some of these idiots?

Meat head. Not worth it
