Stickied Transfer Rumours 2018/19

[Nath]

Wilshere as short as 1/5 to join Bournemouth now.

He wouldn't get sufficient game-time at Roma.

 

[Ali Tajaldeen]

Updates on Chelsea's deadline day

Marcus Alonso is a done deal.
David Luiz looks like its happening.
Personal terms agreed with Brozovic.
Abdennour is allowed to come on loan.
Garay is wanted on loan.
James Rodriguez rumors won't stop, even though there aren't any bid and no agreements.
Chelsea want to snatch Sissoko off Spurs.

Not too keen about all of theses, only ones that I want to go through are Luiz and Brozovic. Hopefully things work out with them.

I'd be even happier if a player not listed here, shocks everyone, and signs.

TalkSport reporting that the deal with Roma is off, and it's back to Bournemouth and Palace. Sky have a bloke down at our training ground trying to get an interview with Wilshere's mate Benik Afobe, to see if he knows anything. It's fucking bizarre.

I'd be astonished if we did pull this off, in terms of profile at least it'd be huge for our club. I just hope it wouldn't be pissing wage money down the drain with injuries.

 

[JimJams]

Milan are interested now. They're a bit shit at the minute so he could easily get into their side!

 

[G.B]

Can someone hurry up and pay us this ludicrous sum of money for Sissoko please? Poor lad has been sat in an airport all day and only has 10% battery left on his phone

There are plug sockets in most modern airports though?

He forgot his charger and needs his sign on fee to get one

 

[GodsGift]

David Ornstein, who is as trustworthy as they get, says Wilshere to Bournemouth is all but done.

 

[JimJams]

Being reported we're only paying 15mill for Slimani and a whopping 45mill for Silva. Euros.
It's effectively a way of cheating a 3rd party owner out of a larger sum for his 20% rights on a Slimani sale. It'd be funny as fuck if we agreed that and then a paperwork fuck up meant we didn't get Silva but got Slim for (relative) peanuts.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Fucking hell this is actually happening I don't know who this Manolas fella is, but he's the reason Arsenal are refusing to deal with Roma and are basically forcing Wilshere to choose Bournemouth or Palace. And he's apparently chosen Bournemouth at the moment.

If it completes, the big question will be, whether he comes fit and motivated for a battle.

 

[Pagnell]

Nah. Even if by some miracle he's fit and plays regularly he'll be shit scared of picking up knocks so will hold back. This loan isn't worth getting overly excited about for Bournemouth fans.

I don't think Wilshere is capable of not giving everything on the pitch. I'm sure he'll work hard at least, if he can stay fit (!)

Pleased he's joining Bournemouth. Really hope it goes well.

 

[JimJams]

Of course he won't hold back, he wants to play for England.

 

[snortingfrogs]

Odds slashed on Daniel Sturridge moving to Arsenal..

 

[Stevencc]

I think Snortingfrogs should be banned each season for two specific days.

 

[Ali Tajaldeen]

Alonso and Luiz are basically done deals! Really excited about the Luiz deal.

Brozovic rejected Chelsea. To be fair, will struggle to fight for the first team.

Abdennour and Sissoko are looking a bit more likely than the other transfers. I don't want either.

Nothing else looks likely. Sadly.

 

[SALTIRE]

Odds slashed on Daniel Sturridge moving to Arsenal..

He'd fit them perfectly, looks great for 6 games then off two years with a stubbed pinky toe.

 

[Jamie_SFC]

Looks like any signings from us will be backup players.

Massively underwhelming transfer window from us. Bottom half with a potential relegation battle on our hands.

 

[G.B]

shut up smat

 

[Ali Tajaldeen]

Now Alonso and Luiz have both signed. Really happy with them.

Colkett and Clarke-Salter on loan to Bristol Rovers. I rate both really highly, but I think Colkett is on a whole new level. If you follow the championship, keep an eye on him, he really is one to watch.

I think its too late to sign anyone else, which kinda sucks, but can't complain with the transfers we got so far. I'm not completely sure what we need anyway. Maybe a powerful box to box to take over Matic's position. Conte will find a spot for Cesc soon but he needs atleast two box to box midfielders. He morphed Oscar into one, and he is playing great, now they need another. Sadly, it won't be Brozovic by the looks of it. And I mean a world class box to box. Instead of trying to get James for 70m, why not give 70m for Verratti, most likely won't happen by why not try. I don't know. almost 3 hours left. Seems like its too late.

Why you excited about Luiz?

He's a bombscare of a defender. Always a mistake in him. Too rash and has been found out many times. I'm very happy with Chelsea buying him rather than someone like Bonucci.

 

[Abertawe]

Luiz is sick what's the matter with you?

 

[Nath]

Luiz is sick what's the matter with you?

Sick?

He's a good footballer but a terrible defender. If he was so good Chelsea wouldn't have been trying to get many defenders prior to signing him, including his own teammate Marquinhos.

 

[Stevencc]

I wonder how far down Conte's centre back wishlist Luiz was.

 

[Nath]

I wonder how far down Conte's centre back wishlist Luiz was.

Well we know they failed to get Koulibaly, Romagnoli and Marquinhos. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few others as they were strongly linked to Maksimovic also.

 

[SALTIRE]

I wonder how far down Conte's centre back wishlist Luiz was.

I wonder if he'll do something mad like play Luiz in midfield, he can't be going into that back line surely, else they're fucked.

 

[HarvSFC]

Remember when I said Everton were panicking with Bolasie....... Wow. They've trumped it tonight.

 

[Stevencc]

A few comments made on a Chelsea forum when the rumours of Luiz returning first surfaced...

"If you ever wanted an example of lazy journalism. This is the pinnacle"
"He can take his celebrations against us in champions league and stick them right up his arse!"
"I would rather see us spend £80m on johnny evans than have luiz back on a free."
"Is this some kind of sick joke?"
"What the f**k is this sh*t. Stay away from our club Luiz!"

 

[Nath]

£30m for a player who had a few decent games at the Euro's. Bonkers.

Bristol Rovers play in League one.
