Summer 2015 Non-Spurs Transfers

[lol]

Dortmund, Atletico and Porto have had huge success presenting themselves as springboard clubs for talented young players to come, work hard, do well and earn a move to one of the big clubs, all three are pretty much run on that basis.

Of course you should keep your top players if you can, but there's no reason why we shouldn't have improved once Bale left - as good as he was, he was only one player amongst a lot of mediocre players elsewhere in the team; if the money was spent wisely we absolutely could, and in fact should, have been in a better position than we were with him. Unfortunately most of the money was wasted on players who turned out not to be up to scratch - but the three clubs I've mentioned have mastered the scouting side of things and can now turn a profit selling their best players for big fees without harming the side.

Atletico's list of strikers since they sold Torres is unreal (Forlan-->Falcao-->Costa-->Villa-->Griezemann-->Mandzukic-->Martinez), while our record since selling Berbatov for a similar fee is piss-poor.

how can you forget aguero.

I see Chelsea are looking to get rid of Cuadrado! Yet another player bought by that club with a good reputation, and then leaves quickly with that reputation in tatters or is bombed out of the club by Mourinho.

Cuadrado, Romeu, Filipe Luis, Andre Schurrle, Mo Salah, De Bruyne, Marin, Kakuta, Lukaku.

Who next? Remy, Atsu, Moses?

Oscar probably.

Really bored of the press printing United's hype machine. C Ronaldo, G Bale, Neymar, T Muller, F Off Already...

Interesting, as Chelsea have supposedly declared an interest in Ezekiel Garay as an alternative.
Sounds to me like that was deliberately poured out to the media, with no genuine interest, forcing Stones to demand a move now or lose it altogether.

Still think it's a stupid move for him at the moment.

But those all joined as first teamers and flopped.
The Chelsea lot were never going to oust the first XI anyway, but saw the £££s and took the move anyway.

 

[Monkey boy]

Be very interesting to see how this John Stones thing plays out. Another chairman and Manager who have given themselves very little room for manoeuvre with their not for sale at any price quotes.

On the plus side, I think its good news for us as surely the next move after Everton reject the request is for "his head not to be right to play" on Saturday?

It is stupid for him to move at the moment but that doesnt matter to English players at all who are more focused on moving to top sides for a bigger pay day and better chance to play for England than actually focusing on their development. It's a product of the attitude of the younger player due to Chelsea and City paying obscene wages to their academy players, but it's also a product of how Hodgson selects players for England. Instead of selecting based on quality and form, he selects players based on what club they play for/who he has a sense of loyalty to.

Read these quotes from Gerrard talking about the young players attitudes:
Henry Winter ‏@henrywinter Aug 22
Gerrard: @LAGalaxy 'have lot of young players who listen/want to learn. Their attitude’s blown me away compared to some attitudes back home’

Henry Winter ‏@henrywinter Aug 22
Gerrard: ‘Some kids get too much too soon back in the UK. It’s different here: they have to earn it before they get rewarded with contracts’



By the way, what in the fucking hell is up with Utd's supposed £240m for Neymar?!? Thast's fucking absurd!

Pogba 70my to Chelsea doesn't seem to go away

Absolute bollocks. Season is three weeks in and Everton face losing a first choice CB. This is why the transfer window needs to shut before the season starts.
Surely the only way he'd go is if he was told he'd be a regular starter, has Jose decided to binned Terry?

Reckon next season it'll be Stones - Zouma partnership.

Good for England as he will be getting better coaching and experience against the best attackers in the world.

I don't think he is ready for a chelsea move. Any weaknesses in his game will be exposed and he won't be given time to develop.

If both players are championship winning players that would be a huge step up for both players.

Stones is very good but I don't think he is ready for the pressure and ridicule of a big move

Agree it's nonsense and it gives Chelsea an unfair advantage because they can just spend hugely to rectify any early seasons weaknesses that get exposed. Why can't the window be open June 1st to August 1st?

Stones has more chance being an England starter at the Euros if he stays at Everton, rather than move the Chelsea.

I guess money is more important to young players now than playing regularly.

Woy likes to pick players playing for big clubs which is why I think he'll get more of a chance with England.
