Summer 2017 Transfer Season

[pantherphan96]

Mendy deal is essentially already done. It's happening. Not a fan of the Danilo deal.

Manchester City are still interested in signing Alexis Sanchez...  Manchester City projected to spend around $400M in this transfer window alone.  Mind blowing.

The worst part...  City are buying player who worth only 60% of what they pay.  Basically, people know City can pay that money so teams charge City premium..  Walker only worth around 30M, Mendy not even worth 30M, Alexis is going to be 29 in few months and worth maybe 35M max.

It's Metro...  they are the biggest fake news site in the world.

Woke up to Mbappe to RM for €180M.... Sheesh.

[C47]

Marca reporting that Madrid and Monaco have agreed to a 180m Euro deal (160 plus 20 in variables) for Kylian Mbappe Lottin. Mbappe would sign a six year contract, that would pay him 7m Euros annually. FWIW, Monaco have denied that an agreement has been made to a French paper, but not that they are discussing the transfer w Madrid. Either way, I would be pretty surprised at this point if Mbappe wasn't at the very least property of Madrid come August 31. Still think there's a very small chance he gets loaned back to Monaco for a year, but my guess is he plays in the first team for Madrid.

Inflation is real. Coutinho may go for over 80m pounds, Naby Keita while amazing, seems to be untouchable (even for 80m pounds), Dembele 100 plus, etc etc. Multiple clubs think Mbappe is a generational talent along the lines of Henry. He's going to cost a lot. 

[Shocker]

Of course Real get Mbappe.

On another note, Courtius decided he'd take the day off again against Bayern.  Pathetic showing.

Reports are Monaco and Arsenal agreed on the sale of Lemar for €62M.  Please be true!  Lemar created 2nd most chances in Europe last season.

If Madrid pays 160M pounds for 18 year old, they are stupid.

If he turns into the next Henry they're playing the long game better than any other club. Don't be jelly, Arsen.

Lol... I'm not jelly.  You want to pay €180M for one year wonder and mortgage the entire team future, be my guest. Prior to last year, Mbappe had only 1 professional goal.  He's a project and not a proven product.  You do not pay €180M for "IF he turns into".  You pay €180M for WHEN he turns into.  "IF" is a gambling based on hopes and dreams.

And WTF is City doing?

The only people spending more money than Man City on Defense is the US military.

City do not care about money.  They want to buy trophies.

City has had some misfires with signings in the past but they needed to completely replace the fullbacks. And since every team knows they are willing to pay, they pay a premium for players. Hopefully the moves work out and there won't be a need to splurge again in the next transfer window.
