Re: The Summer Transfer Rumour Thread

True

[Kick]

Time for a re-do since we've signed Cesc and are more than likely going to sign Costa.

In:
Costa 32m
Cesc 27m
Rodriguez/Luis 20m or Shaw 25-30m

Optional:
Gustavo/(L/S) Bender/Schneiderlin/Gonalons 20m

Spent: 79-99M (assuming we buy Luis)

Out:
Eto'o, Lampard, Cole, Hilario, Hutchinson FREE
Luiz 50m
Bertrand 3m
Romeu 3m
Kakuta 1m
Marin 4m
Ba 10m/Lukaku 20m Or loan

Optional:
Mikel 7m

Profit: 71m-78m (assuming we sell Ba)

Total loss: 8-21m

Obviously, we only really need to buy a DM if Mikel is sold therefore that is an optional sale + purchase.
From recent comments, Jose may be trusting Zouma as a CB, so we may not purchase one. But with a LB, Ivan will always be able to slot there.

Formations:
Against small teams:

Courtois
Azpilicueta Cahill Terry Luis
Willian Cesc Matic Hazard
Oscar
Costa

Vs Big teams:

Courtois
Azpilicueta Cahill Terry Luis
Ramires/New DM Matic
Willian Oscar/Cesc Hazard
Costa

Subs:
Cech, Schwarzer, Ivanovic, Zouma, Ake, Ramires, Van Ginkel, Mikel/New DM, Salah, Schurrle, Lukaku, Torres.

This squad is maxed out at 17 non-homegrown players, If Schwarzer is released, Blackman can replace him, adding to the number of homegrowns but it is still rather small. Shaw anyone?

[Shed]

50m for Luiz is a bit naughty


Still can't feel comfortable whenever thinking about 20m for a full-back, who's 29 years old.


Why would we not just throw in a bit more and land Super Luke?

[Kick]

Still can't believe we got that for him!

It is an interesting one. I would love Luke but he is reportedly so expensive. Not sure he is worth the asking price.

But 29-year-old Luis is?

I was implying you exaggerated you book-cooking fraudster


We both know it was nearer £40m

[Kick]

Luis is better at present.

I actually don't know, I still think it was close to 50m It'll probably be that with add ons though.

Honestly though, I'd do that.

Straight swap, thanks very much.

[Shed]

[Kick]

Don't want Isco. That is stupid.

Straight swap Ramires for Khedria pls Jose.

[Shed]

Would take that in a heartbeat as well, yea.

[Kick]

In: Luis, Cesc, Costa and Khedira
Out: Cole, Luiz, Ba, Lampard and Ramires.

Sounds like a damn good summer to me.
