Summer transfer thread 2022

La Liga have again tonight blocked Barca from registering any of those 7 players before the start of the season.

Barca tried to inflate the value of player sales using club funds to make it look like it was bigger deals.

More than a club all right.

Laporta saying De Jong wants to stay and they want to keep him is just more of them turning the screws to get him to accept lower wages.

Did they try to inflate the salary costs if the players sold?

Pique has agreed to invalidate his contract and sign a new one with much lower pay to help them. One more brick in the wall.

It's a pity Netflix didn't start doing a United Til I Die docu-series this summer, it would have made for fantastic viewing.

Leipzig have today announced the signing of Sesko from Salzburg for a fee of around 24 mil. Euro, with him still remaining in Salzburg for this season. I believe there were quite a few PL clubs linked with him this summer.

The deal with Timo Werner and Chelsea is also expected to go through today.

They reached the right conclusion but it just adds to the circus

The Manger wants him , the club agree, then the fans get it cancelled its like a reality tv show over at Old Trafford,

Coady, looking for first team football to enhance his England chances is funny though.

If he can't hold down a place at mid table Wolves, what business has he playing for England, are they really THAT weak at the back?

Probably a decent signing for Everton though, a lad of limited enough ability but has made the most of himself and seems to have a good attitude, probably has a lot of family ties around the Liverpool area so probably suits him in a lot of ways.

He played every league game for wolves last year too..

Can't see Rabiot being the answer for that midfield, but you never know. Bit of a panic buy?

Apparently Juve fans delighted he is leaving.

I’ve read online that UTD pulled out of the deal after listening to concerns from ex players and fans contacting the club. If so thus is even funnier, fans and ex players dictating their transfer policy. The joke that keeps giving😂😂😂😂

Ex players in the media pretty much pushed and got Ole the job full time and helped keep him there for way to long so nothing really is surprising.

Alex still going to games and the camera's panning to him in the stands as soon as Man U went behind doesn't help matters either his presence still looms large over that club and every manager since him is still in his shadow.

Not once has Alex spoken out againt the owners and that is what the fans need to happen if the want rid of the owners however the Glazers pay him way to well for him to speak out against them.

Personally, I think that the backlash against the Arnautovic signing was 99% because of his abilities and age etc, and 1% because of the racism accusations. But those accusations were an an easy out and made it easier to kick up such a big fuss and not sign the player. 'He doesn't have the values of the club ' and other such lines.

Why wasn't there a big backlash when Ronaldo was being signed? He had a large court case for sexual assault hanging over his head at the time of the transfer. While there was a protest at the first game (by a feminist group), it wasn't by the fans of the football club he signed for. Because he was/is a massive superstar with quality.

It's easy say you don't want a 'bad' player playing at the club when he has something hanging over their head, but when a 'good' player has something hanging over their head, it can be glossed over.
