The 2016 close season transfers thread

This is from somewhere else so don’t shoot the messenger :-

Outs

Mane - Attracting attention from Arsenal and Man Utd - reportedly Utd looking to table £25m a bid of £17m may be enough.

Long - Leicester and Liverpool both showing interest reports of upto £25m on offer.

Pelle - Lazio showing interest although he is also interested in extending his contract.

Ins

Dennis Praet - Anderlect - £10m - also interest from Leicester and Everton and maybe Liverpool

Simone Zaza - Juventus - West Ham also showing interest

I thought that Arsenal had made a signing, but no no no, they have given Sanchez the number 7 shirt! Great!

We have never been in a stronger position to negotiate with Man Utd.

If their new manager wants Mane they will pay whatever it takes.

Call it £30m for cash - take him and fuck off.

Next.

How very true.

Popped over to see if there were any rumours about and it didn’t take long to remember why I love this place so much.

Every close season like a line of lemmings jumping off a cliff of despair into a sea of urine wrung from their very own mattress’.

Although TBF I do find the endless enquiries regarding the signing of Skacel hilarious.

Sell some footalling player bros… buy some cheaper footballing bros… some come good, some shite… somehow finish 6-9… some say it is a model for stability… seems fair enough… could become a bit boring though if we start to slip down…?

The best thing to come out of the annual meltdown is the fact that we get the best out of players.

You don’t see anyone moving on and pulling up trees.

It’s as if we sold Lovren and Schniederlin without the user manuals.

Going to be scuppered by Klopp’s former club by the looks of things.

Heard the same.

According to Italian TV station Qui Studio A Voi Stadio (via Inside Futbol) Juventus striker Simone Zaza is of interest to Europa League entrees Southampton.

someone should tell man Utd not to bid £25m because we’ll take £17m, apparently. They’d look pretty foolish if they insisted on over paying.

Remember we will be dealing with Edward Woodward - anything is possible

Crap joke.

Q: Why does Edward Woodward have four Ds in his name?
A: If he didn’t, he’d be called Ewar Woowar.

An Dross Townsend has been linked with Sporting Lisbon thank fuck for that keep him well away from us.

Darrell Clarke approached by Leeds Utd to become their new manager. If I was him I would steer clear and stay at Bristol Rovers as they go into league 1 after 2 successive promotions.

if he goes to Leeds he will be out of work in a couple of months.

Andros Townsend linked with sporting Lisbon. Anyone on here think he would be worth a punt. A player to replace Mane, as he can run at defenders?

At the risk of sticking my neck out, I think that Mane is better than Townsend. Sorry to be contraversial, but I genuinely think this srs.

Agreed. But we do seem to buy good replacements. I am assuming that Mane is leaving of course.

Spurs tried to offload Townsend during every transfer window…presumably for a good reason.

Injury prone? Whenever I see him play, he looks quite handy, probably plays better for England.
