Other teams transfer rumours/signings
- Thread starter Mattspur
- Start date
I dont think it will take much for Pool to challenge for top 4 this season, they handed out some heavy defeats towards the end of the last term.
Reports in Spain saying Real Madrid have had a bid accepted for Isco and he is expected to join them over Manchester City.

Yep its in every paper saying he will be done
Meanwhile, Marca says that a deal has been done for Gundogan for him to sign next season as dortmund asked for the squad not to be broken up with the other two leaving but they say may be pushed forward

Good. Excellent news. That means one less quality player for Citeh, and even less of a possibility of them needing Bale.

Much the same way Chelsea get Mata, Oscar and Hazard in the same team I expect.

Maybe this:
Benzema/Cavani(?)
Ronaldo Ozil Isco
Alonso Modric
Marcelo Varane Ramos Arbeloa
Casillas

Khedira for Modric I'd imagine but that's likely how they will line up.
Unless they are deploying Bale at left back or selling Ronaldo then I can't possibly see a move to Madrid materialising.

I rate Modric much more than Khedira disgusting to pick the former over Luka. Not even from a biased point of view. I also feel the argument that Alonso and Modric wouldn't be combative enough to be redundant as they will have a lions share of the possession in 90% of games.
Agreed on Bale front, if he doesn't have as good of a season as he did one just gone as well, I can see Perez looking for a new poster boy to win over the faithful.

The Chelski trio are slightly different because none of them are as direct as Ronaldo.
Isco can play from both wide positions but Ozil has to be central.
I think it's just Madrid buying him so that he won't go elsewhere. They want Bale and or Suarez, Isco is very different and is more similar to Ozil although not like for like.

I think Isco is a great buy for anyone, but I honestly don't know why Barca wouldn't rather have bought Isco than Neymar. Neymar is a bag of tricks but is very individualistic, Isco would have fitted their collective style more.
I know this will get WTF'd but I think Barca have massively overpaid for a player who doesn't really match their ethos.

Almost as good as Iago Falque?

I don't think that's a WTF comment at all, BC. Neymar is a selfish show pony who doesn't suit Barcelona's passing/teamwork style. I don't know if he has the patience for the slow build up that Barca employ to stretch the opposition, he seems too impatient. From what I saw of Isco in the Champions League and U21 Euros he's suited to that style of play perfectly. If anything Neymar should've gone to Real.

So Adel Taraabt might be off to Monaco. We do have a sell-on percentage, right? I'm trying to remember, but wasn't it in the 30-35% range?

Wow, that's an impressive sell-on fee, then. He could possibly go for around 10m, so getting around 4m for him would be pretty decent.
