Same as the Winter thread. All 2015 Summer transfer rumors, failed deals, completed deals and pipe dream wishes go here. 

 

Big news today as Marco Reus has extended his contract with Dortmund and the new deal DOES NOT contain a release clause. Any club that wants the German superstar will have to pay dearly now.

Rumors are that Danilo to Real Madrid is basically done. Good signing for a young Right Back. Danilo is incredibly talented. My guess is Coentrao is sold this Summer and Marcelo/Carvajal/Danilo/Nacho are the FBs

Pogba linked to Arsenal... Arsenal got £100m to spend and the only holes are DM and ST. I see Cazorla, Arteta and Diaby all leaving this summer. So Wenger will be dropping some cash on midfield.

 

Wenger gonna spend all but 25 of that on Pogba? That's probably what it will take.

Wenger will pay 50m for Pogba but no more, if Madrid is wishing to drop 55-60m on Pogba then good luck.  Wenger will pick up whoever Madrid will sell at discount.

Not just Madrid. PSG/United/Arsenal/Madrid and a horde of others all showing interest. He'll be 60m plus.

Paul Pogba is really good, but he's not worth what a club will inevitably pay for him.

 

Probably not. At least not yet. You're also buying him for the ceiling he's not even close to though.

but it's not like it matters to a club like Real Madrid. You really think james Rodriguez was worth his price tag? Money is just an object to them, they can drastically overpay for Pogba but it won't matter. So I still think he ends up at RM

That was my point for why Arsenal won't sign him. They have a ton of money, but they aren't going to be wasteful. RM doesn't care.

      Taking on Watson contract if the compensation is right

      By rayzor · Posted

      Would it be possible to do that trade without us getting Watson?

      I'd be willing to cede everything east of Hickory to SC if I'm being honest.

      Stop the obsession with the QB position

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      A look at all the QBs making championships over the past 35 years says it's not 1st round QB driven. There are only 64 championship QBs, and this includes Jake Delhomme, Kurt Warner, Case Keenum, Tom Brady, Nick Foles, Mark Rypien, Eric Kramer, Brock Purdy, Rich Gannon, Brad Johnson, Russell Wilson and more non 1st round QBs. 5 of these QBs went to a championship in the past 10 seasons. 3 of the 5 won how many of the past 10 SBs? Foles beat Brady. Mahomes and Brady have won 7 of the past 10 SBs. Mahomes walked into a ready made contender. The other 3 are Foles, Manning and Stafford. We know Manning did nothing. It was defense. Stafford managed a defensive game. Foles beat Manning in an offensive shootout. Keep in mind Manning and Stafford were not drafted in the 1st round for the team that won the SB. The Rams have drafted how many 1st round picks in the past 8 years? The Broncos only drafted defense in the 1st round for 5 straight years leading up to their SB, and that's what stopped Cam. Any QB game manager can get you to the playoffs. OL, running game, defense and coaching carry the load during the season. Clutch QBs are needed in the playoffs to get to the championship games, and there is nothing favoring a 1st round QB being clutch over all other QBs. Never draft a QB in the top 20 picks unless they have a professional sports pedigree! If you need a QB it's simple competition and steady flow of a QB type (physicality/talent is not a deciding factor for champions). Sticking to a competitive strategy that filters out QBs who are high TO% and low clutch performance will always work. You're always looking for the one who refuses to give up the starting spot by feeling momentum, showing high situational preparedness, and knowing when to take risks. Top 20 picks should be defense with few exceptions. If you want offense, trade down to get more picks for defense and OL. There should always be a 4 QB rotation (3 roster and 1 practice squad) on the depth chart until 1 has held onto the starting spot for 34 games. Then go to 2 QBs on the roster. Patience in this process is key. There will never be a QB allowed to fail for more than 5 straight games for the myth of long term development. This QB strategy results in hitting on a franchise QB within 3 seasons while building a strong defense and deep OL. The defining factor of success for an NFL Franchise has been the HC/GM combos who have studied, mastered and implemented Bill Walsh's book together. The Panthers franchise appears to be no where near this championship strategy or philosophy. Butting heads over philosophy and mixed/inconsistent strategies have been the constant since Tepper took over.
