Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

I don't think bribes are even necessary, not when you have saleable assets like Lucas, Di Maria and Maquinos. Neymar puts a hole in their FFP by what amount exactly? Given that they hadn't spent a huge amount I guess it could be by about €100m which they can easily cover through genuine player sales in this market.

It might only be a matter of time.

The way things are going, in the next 10 to 15 years, every top European club will be owned by an oil rich tycoon, an oil rich country or the big Chinese conglomerates.
 
Given the choices, I'd rather go with nobody and wait til next year.

Agreed. Prepared to wait until next year or January for better options and if Greizmann is willing to join that would be a great signing.
 
Qatar poverty? you surely don't know Qatar :D. Income per capita.

The fact that the very rich are so rich that the net income is high doesn't erase poverty.
 


Varela set to move back to Uruguay.

Always thought he was absolutely crap.

"After how badly he was treated in Frankfurt"? Lad's living on his own planet. They stuck by him through a year of injuries and wanted to keep him until he fecked it up for himself.
 

Eurgh, another player with a 'Twitter team' like Michy Batshuayi it seems. At least in Mendy's case it's probably slightly more believable that he is behind it than Michy... Michy could barely speak a word of English in a post-match interview last season. :lol:

To be fair the amount of stuff he posts to Instagram that he films it's probably him on twitter as well. Think he's just a bit of a laugh.
 

Clearly puss a player out then ask for 50mil is being rich coming from Chelsea. Add to the fact Atletico can't use him for half a season & he is on expensive wage to attract as much interest from other clubs. Don't forget his difficult character that not many club can handle.
 
If Barca comes calling, Coutinho would kick up a fuss, he's no Slippy G. Lpool would probably be forced to sell

Except they wouldn't. They could just keep him and worst case scenario he refuses to train or play and risks destroying his career. Liverpool can't replace Coutinho regardless so better to take the risk that he'll let it go.
 
Sure, "Sporting reasons". I bet it's because Monaco have received a huge offer for him.
From reading the article, he's on about the player, saying that Mbappe wouldn't move for money. Mbappe would be able to make just as much if he stayed at Monaco another year as he'd be given a bigger contract.

Exactly, the article isn't well translated. He said that Mbappé has to put the sporting project at the top of his priorities.

Edit: They also didn't put the rest of the quotes, he said that of course he wants him to stay and they are discussing, Mbappé is solicited and he needs to take the right decision(for himself). It can't only come from the club.

Theres not an endless supply of oil etc also with new technology could render oil a cheap commodity who knows

yes, but let me put it this way. There are no Qatari nationals what so ever in poverty, every qatari citizen has tremendous financial help from the goverment just because of birthrights as qatari. And there are no immigrants or foreigners staying in qatar without a work permit. All together the possibility of finding people sleeping on the streets in Qatar is 0.
