Summer transfer speculative hopes and dreams

[bluestevon]

Believe me. He's not all that. Basel to Bayern to Inter to Stoke. Inter wouldnt be selling if he was. If he wasn't up to pace of Serie A then Prem will devour him !

same Inter that sold coutinho for buttons? same manager that though the sun shone out of super mario's backside?

btw didn't vierra and henry also flop in italy?

 

[bluestevon]

Why is mertens only 10mil.

Why is shaqiri able to leave inter.

Must be reasons they are available...

two new coaches looking at rebuilding after crap seasons

Henry didn't get too long at Juve.
Viera won the league at Juve and Inter - I think.

Aye but the swizz lad only had 6 months at Inter mate so same thing could be said about not having the chance to succeed etc etc etc, and was talking about Viera at AC Milan mate prior to going Arsenal not after when he was at Inter

It's the way in Italy. If things don't work - they change it - quickly

This present 'bidding for all and sundry' window, Stoke seem to be spurring Spurs on, and Spurs appear to be stoking Stoke on....it's a veritable chiasmus.

... resale value??

 

[Zatara]

Seems very odd though that shaqiri was at bayern then lack of game to inter (understood) but then he lasts 6months at inter and there dont seem to be any BIG teams in for him.

Mertens for 10mil and a goal every 3 games for napoli doesnt make sense for them.

Exchange rate is really good with the Euro at the moment.

Mancini went to Inter half way through the year - tried to get them up the table and into Europe - and bought Shaq in Jan.
Now he is looking at a rebuild of the team.

Napoli have a new coach too. They are bringing in a lot of young Italian players.

They didn't finish too well last year.

 

[Zatara]

Not extortionate price for mertens and hes fot a good record on paper for them.

Shaqiri seems to be same as they paid.

... resale value??

People need to stop getting their hopes up on shaqiri.
Some journo on twitter is saying our interest in him was completely fabricated to hurry stoke up and bid the asking price

 

[Zatara]

Seems to me that we will see all our wide midfielders cleared out leaving Deulofeu RW.

Mirallas £10mil+
McGeady £1mil+
Pienaar free next season

I'd guess Martinez has about £15mil left so with these two sales possibly £26mil.

Linked to Mertens and Shaqiri for £10mil odd each and also need a centre back.

Just posing a question here, if we could sign those two for £20mil combined would you be happy with that or would it be better for us to go for one player for £20mil ?

That sort of money buys a Yarmolenko or an Isco level player..maybe even Bernardo Silva for cash + Mirallas...?

Might be the case but if we don't get our act together options are starting to run out. Please don't give me that its only the 2nd July talk, the fact is the sooner we get players in the better the chance we have of a good start.

The present EUR/GBP cross is , from an EPL club's Corporate Treasurer's perspective, attractive to 'players from the continent/third world' bids from the mighty GBP denominated British clubs Treasuries.
Judicious use of financial derivatives to expedite, or hedge (lol lol lol ) the process, should reap massive dividend.

I tell you, the profitable currency/interest play on these off balance sheet items will make all the 'where's the Arteta money Bill?' cries, a thing of the past....on balance sheet is so passe

Reasonable deals become available now and then, like when De Bruyne went to Wolfsburg for £16m

Any news on the Januzay speculation?
