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

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

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

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.— Simon Stone (@sistoney67) August 7, 2019
cool cool

as long as it doesnt stop us signing fernandes/dybala like
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Wednesday, 7 August 2019 08:36 (five years ago) link
dybala to spurs is the only signing i'd be excited abt this window. it's a slow show so far.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 08:40 (five years ago) link
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
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Wednesday, 7 August 2019 10:37 (five years ago) link
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.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 13:07 (five years ago) link
best case scenario is he stays and gets a 9-month injury
― imago, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 13:12 (five years ago) link
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
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 13:16 (five years ago) link
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

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— Matt Law (@Matt_Law_DT) August 7, 2019
― Number None, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 15:50 (five years ago) link
i dont think arsenal know yet
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Wednesday, 7 August 2019 16:14 (five years ago) link
all this excitement has been nice but im reasonably certain that spurs finish tomorrow with lo celso and sessegnon in and eriksen cryin on the bench for a few games
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Wednesday, 7 August 2019 16:15 (five years ago) link
David Luiz to Arsenal would be one of those astonishing transfers that would somehow manage to make every single party worse off.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 16:42 (five years ago) link
except agent
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Wednesday, 7 August 2019 17:05 (five years ago) link
Sessegnon, Lo Celso and Ndombele would represent a very good summer's business tbh. Pretty sure we'll take Llorente back as well.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 17:19 (five years ago) link
yeah i dont know what the idea behind all the messing the last week has been but those three and possibly a professional footballer at right back would have been a good wishlist.
idk about llorente, im not sure we use him and for my money troy parrott is ready for minutes.
not like llorente covers for kane injury anyway
― phil neville jacket (darraghmac), Wednesday, 7 August 2019 17:20 (five years ago) link
Lukaku to Inter agreed

his touch was going that far anyways

So, we'll be going into the season having lost two senior midfielders and a striker without replacing any of them

Still a lot of nonsense banter about Al sorts of midfielders being on the move tbf

Wanayama, Khedira etc
believe that first one
derby will hardly loan us their new rb dye think

oh and I see Neres has signed a new contract. Shocker
― Number None, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 18:14 (five years ago) link
Wanyama has a recurring knee injury, with which he's currently in the treatment room, and hasn't managed to string a proper run of games together in maybe two years. If he's going it's for something very nominal.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 18:35 (five years ago) link
It's all agent/silly season bullshit but you end up living in fear until the window shuts
