when the levy breaks: summer transfer window 2019

Telegraph reporting that Wayne Rooney is in talks with Derby about a player-coach role

please god please

also there isn't a non-Prem thread for 19-20

eriksen to utd for 50m sounding more solid by the hour

surely Eriksen to Utd cannot be real. I expect him to have at least two more good years before cynically cashing in giving up all hope in life?

rumours our mad owner is considering selling our talismanic striker to brentford for no reason

even i would be burning shit to the ground

Today's Mirror:

"Bruno Fernandes agent 'holds fresh Man Utd transfer talks' ahead of £65m move"

"Bruno Fernandes 'agrees personal terms with Tottenham' to rival Man Utd transfer"

Somehow I don't think when Eriksen talked about a next chapter, chugging around the Europa League with Solskjaer as manager was quite what he had in mind.

It doesn’t sound like anyone better wants Eriksen. idk, it would be a huge shame to lose him but Lo Celso and Fernandes would both be an upgrade if he continues to play at 50% capacity for another year.

late af to be at any of this shit

very disappointing window given the shit poch has put up with the past two years.

meanwhile

Lukaku was due back at Carrington today... https://t.co/pDV563Wew3

thats stormzy

shut up

If no one better wants Eriksen I wouldn't be surprised to see him just sign a new contract.

Possible, but unlikely I'd say. Considering he can leave on a free next summer and e.g. Ramsey is now on 400k a week at Juve after doing the same

Tottenham Hotspur have made an offer to sign Philippe Coutinho on loan from Barcelona

Manchester United are attempting to sign Christian Eriksen@garyjacob and @hirstclass reporthttps://t.co/vDsFuv5BZZ

£21m loan fee :/

heard somewhere (second captains??) that coutinho's in retrospect Bad Choice to go to Barca was motivated in large part by significant pressure from nike?

wouldnt take the lads as gospel but the propensity for nike to influence that kind of thing would have come up before iirc

you following the gaa on the podcast, out of interest?

shut up

whats up your arse btw?

Excited for Arsenal going full Ossieball by playing Aubameyang, Lacazette, Coutinho and Pepe and no one at all in defence.

xp lol references

What is happening

Tottenham have agreed a €70m deal with Juventus to sign Paulo Dybala, according to Sky in Italy.

apparently Utd had agreed a deal with Juve too, but it was Dybala's agent's demands/excessive wages/image rights/lack of desire to play for a shit team that scuppered things

Juve seem pretty desperate to shift him though

can't really watch it anywhere, so nah

lol i was thinking tbh ty

xp that

gbx, watching the gaa is shit. listen to oisin tho hes great

If he can't get United to pay his wages good luck with Levy.

There seem to be four or five playmakers/wide forwards in play with no idea of where they'll end up.

we thought it would be poch having all the fun

its levy

hes in the sweet shop, shoving kids out the way

Manchester United are considering signing former #thfc striker Fernando Llorente on a free transfer. [Di Marzio]

— Hotspur Related (@HotspurRelated) August 6, 2019

Absolute scenes.

please, let's try and maintain some dignity in this thread over the next couple of days

love nando tho

throw that guy on the point of a crossing team every week hes def got a double figure season left in him

not sure thats utd under ole

Man Utd have called a halt to talks over potential transfer of Christian Eriksen because they think if he does leave Spurs, he would prefer move to Spain. Utd still in talks with other targets, although so close to deadline, chances of getting any deals done is not high.

cool cool

as long as it doesnt stop us signing fernandes/dybala like

dybala to spurs is the only signing i'd be excited abt this window. it's a slow show so far.

dybala bit now

Crystal Palace have rejected a £70m bid from Everton for Wilfried Zaha plus James McCarthy (permanent) and Cenk Tosun on loan. Palace have said they want £100m for the Ivory Coast forward so "deal is dead" #efc #cpfc

— Ed Aarons (@ed_aarons) August 7, 2019

thats proper shutting it down tbf

I don't think there are many clubs where one player is the difference between staying up and relegation but that's definitely the case for Palace. I'd shut it down in that position as well.

best case scenario is he stays and gets a 9-month injury

they'll still stay up, we'll sell our best players for 2m, get relegated and never play them again

^^ wasn't gonna say it but

xp

Was gonna say earlier he's essentially priceless to Palace so

news here is Ajax refused two bids (50m, then later 60m) from ManU for David Neres fwiw

wouldn't give much credence to that

BREAKING: Wilfried Zaha has handed in a transfer request at Crystal Palace

— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) August 7, 2019

that changes everything

Ok now we're cookin'

As per reports from France, I'm told David Luiz refused to train with Chelsea today and wants to move to Arsenal. I don't think Arsenal have made a formal bid yet

i dont think arsenal know yet
