PSG : comment enfin gagner la Ligue des champions

Recalé en finale de la Ligue des champions face au Bayern, Paris doit, dès maintenant, revoir certains détails pour revenir encore plus fort

www.leparisien.fr

This article says PSG want Thomas Partey to replace Gana Gueye. Would anyone else gladly sack Doucoure off to bring a blue home? I know I would.

Loved Gueye when he was here but we need a player that can power forward with the ball to try and open the opponent’s defence ,is Doucoure that player only time will tell but Gueye is more like Allen

Light on depth, we have delph, siggurdsson, gbamin, davies and besic ha

Meanwhile we have 6 centre backs and strikers for 4 positions.


....totally included besic for personal agenda.

I don’t count players that contribute nothing as depth.

Thats all true. I have bet on niche markets before (constiteuncy betting at a general election), nothing major 2-300 quid per one. It didn't collapse the odds in that way.

But again the dynamics are significantly different. Even though you can have pretty much solid Labour seats etc., the process and dynamics are far more open.

How many people know the results before the full results? This is done under a set time line and through stringent checks and legislation to stop early disclosure.

Up until the vote numbers are announced, it's pretty much guess work for most. However, the transfer market has far more capacity for misuse so to speak.

There will be a fair few people involved in the process who know, perhaps days or weeks before hand, that the transfer will be going ahead to a point of certainty.

All you need is two or three people who are betting, with total certainty, and they could lose out. These could be spread across a few days or even longer.

If money is put on that flags up a concern, they act quick. There has been criminal investigations involving this within the not so distant past.

My god - an actual rumour! Well done sir

I wouldn’t go as far as a rumour, I bet a club our size knows every young player in the country. He only signed a year ago (I think when I googled him before!) so it was probably a scout at a under 23 match asking who he was. If he was any good I’m sure he would have played for Cardiff as they were awful at times last year. I think Man City got one of Cardiff’s academy players last year so that may explain there interest.

Delph contributed a red card to end our long run of not coming from behind to win a game

@Theblueview, @D*ck Solomon and @redeye out.

Allan, Rodriguez and Doucoure in.

@Groucho has done his part over to you Marcel.

I suspect we are playing clubs off against each other and won’t be signing all those we are being linked to. It is a bit concerning that all these names are in their late twenties which could leave us needing a big rebuild in a couple of years. I suspect Ancelotti has put his foot down.

You're very suspicious aren't you

Not quite a 'no', more of a 'if it can be afforded'. Philly K says Yampeth and Magnifico want to be reunited so I guess all we plebeians can do is hope there is an willingness to compromise on the financials.

In terms of rebuild, I mentioned this the other day, signing players for now gives you something to rebuild on. These players are still in their 20s, 2-3 years while the the likes of Gordon gain experience, and continue to add youth in the following windows. If you start afresh with 4 20yr old players, you lose the experience that these players give. Foden would struggle being the main man at City, but coming in and playing with Silva, Silva and DeBruyne is the perfect environment for him to learn.

My only issue is if we get these 3 in, they are your 1st choice. Behind them, the drop off is phenomenal. And I still think we need some pace and width, as well RB.

Makes me wonder if we have some enquiries about outgoings.

 

[blue to the bone]

My Italian sources (Bolognese), tell me we are in for Florenzi

Did you have Garlic bread on the side !

 

[AmericasToffee]

True, true.

Its a please Hamez, accept 100k a week mert.

If that's the case, it's gonna be loan then free.

 

[TheSecondComing]

Only bit of Echo good news is that we actually want a Left footed right winger.
