What's new

Random Rumours

Konate has been extremely suspect this season. Looked the goods a season or so ago. Injuries haven't helped but I suspect VVD's decline is a contributing factor along with the less-than-stellar new RB and LB.

I watched pool twice and their balance this season has been off.

And this will always be the case with cb and why they are quite hard to asses. The more exposed you are the worse you play.

Can’t see it. Both players want to go Madrid to partner Huljsen, and whoever doesn’t end up there will have Barca as an option.

Barca finance is a bit sketchy though.

 
Quite a few more freebies; can’t just see our lot paying the big sign on fees or fat contract.

  • Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool)
  • Dayot Upamecano (Bayern)
  • Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace)
  • John Stones (Man City)
  • Marcos Senesi (Bournemouth)
  • Antonio Rüdiger (Real Madrid)
  • Eric García (Barcelona)
  • Harry Maguire (Utd)
  • Andreas Christensen (Barca)
  • Adam Webster (Brighton)
  • James Tarkowski (Everton)
  • Niklas Sule (Dortmund)
  • Yeray Alvarez (Athletic)
  • Fabian Schar (Newcastle)

    Madrid also want David Alaba gone, and Schlotterbeck of Dortmund’s contract expires in 2026.

Yeah they can’t pay transfer fees but can sign freebies, and stretch the sign on fees over the duration of the contract. Like how Madrid did with Mbappe’s €150m sign on fee stretched over 5yrs.

Even amortising, Barca run into La Liga's cost control barriers. A pretty much insoluble problem for them having sold off large chunks of their future income streams in pursuit of cash in hand.

To be fair most of the ridiculous contracts are coming off now, they have finished paying Messi & Coutinho. Lewandowski & De Jong’s ridiculous contracts expires in the summer which should save another €40m/yr in wages.

But they then go and give 18yr old Yamal a €300k/w wages + €10m/yr in bonuses, and wonder why he is having orgies and hiring clowns 😂

Chelsea are ready to splash €100 million (£87 million, $116.7 million) on Porto’s largely unproven 21-year-old striker Samu Aghehowa in their continued search of goals this January. (Source: Fichajes)

Is this the striker formerly known as Omoridion?

If so weren’t we linked with him like 2 summers ago? And didn’t he look absolutely useless then, well built Jackson essentially?

That's him. As Gyökeres is proving, beware of strikers banging in goals in a less-than-stellar league.

 
Should be an instant ban for any member posting rumors from Fichajes

Seems a terrible website, should use one of the others, after all theres plenty more fichajes in the sea...

I honestly don't see it with Gyokeres. He was hyped big time even in this forum. I have watched him twice this season, big but not super strong, not technically gifted, not particularly fast.

He press hard and he is playing like a st though.

Sums it up. He might come good but I've always had doubts. To progress from a good Championship striker (38 goals in 91 games for Coventry) to a €73m (including add-ons) striker within two seasons is, um, miraculous. 68 goals in 66 Sporting appearances sort of tells a story.
