Transfer Rumours Summer transfer activity thread

When we have played well, he's often been part of the reason why.

Late in 14/15, we ripped Spurs apart, then Liverpool, Villa and then City got bounced, on the trot, Fellaini was pivotal in that little run, probably the best we've played under Van Gaal, then Mourinho identified Fellaini as the one he had to nullify for us, Chelsea smashed and grabbed after being dominated and that was the end of the nice football.

 

Everton eye up £15m move for Sunderland defender Lamine Kone as they prepare to lose John Stones to Manchester City

• Ronald Koeman wants Everton to sign an uncompromising centre-back
• Lamine Kone impressed after signing for Sunderland in January 2016
• Everton have been in talks over Kalidou Koulibaly but he is not keen

Everton are targeting Sunderland centre-back Lamine Kone in a potential £15million deal.

Manager Ronald Koeman wants an uncompromising centre-back and the 27-year-old made a big impact under Sam Allardyce in Sunderland's successful relegation battle last season.

The Ivory Coast international made 15 appearances and scored two goals, coincidentally against Everton, to help secure Sunderland's safety. He joined in January from Lorient for £6million and has also been targeted by Premier League champions Leicester City and West Brom.

Hope Moyes kicks that into touch straight away, we cant afford to lose him.

 

My Utd mate at work has seen some tweet from a Utd based account about Fellaini to Sunderland (simply following Moyes). It may have legs though. £13m mentioned.

 

In today's market I would take that all day long

 

Fellaini going into his final year contract on about £70k a week I believe so he could be signed up for £50k p/w and a decent signing on fee I'd imagine.

Fee would probably be £12m or so wherever he goes unless it's Juventus, they can get quoted £50m see how they feckin like it.

 

Nice thought. He is a handful but I just can't see him coming to us, even with Moyes at the helm.

 

I'd take that deal all day long mate, I'd love the lad here.

Fellaini, M'Vila and Kirchoff is a nice CM. I'll say it quietly but that's a top half CM.

 

Juventus are to sign Gonzalo Higuaín for £75 million......has the world gone mad?

 

You ever watch Sky News marra ?!?!

The worlds gone ****in MENTAL

 

It does seem like the planet is suffering from some mass psychosis.

Germany, France, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Russia pushing west, China pushing south west, Trump (wtf), the right on the move in Europe, Bangladesh, the Phillipines president advocating killing drug dealers on sight.

Where are the world leaders seeing the bigger picture, and trying to put a lid on things?

If no one can get a handle on things, I see a big war coming.

Soon.

 

I like this post.

Why is it on the transfer thread, though

 

Guiness? Or maybes the dog house still

 

Paul Pogba's agent is wanting somewhere around 20m euro's for the deal to go ahead, the man is a parasite living off the back of football.
there should be some rules put in place to prevent this **** from happening.

 

It's outrageous. Absolutely outrageous.

 

About time the rules were changed. It's the players agent, the player should pay the agent not the club. Film produces don't pay the actors agents the actors do, a % of their fee. Football should be the same. It would make players think a bit more about who they hire.

 

i was listening to talk ****e last night, if the player wants to move to Man Utd that much he should tell his agent to pack in being a greedy cnut and get on with representing him, failing that he should sack him and move on.....unless of course the agent has Pogba in a water tight contract himself!!
i believe the agents already command a percentage of the players wages as it is without the need for "signing on fees".

 

Mino Raiola is a total fat arsehole. He's one of the worst people in football, people like him and killing the game by making players believe their careers are about money and not about competing.

Would I be ashamed if I was him? Would I ****, I'd be laughing all the way to the bank.

 

So far.


Mino Raiola

Agency: Mino Raoila

Represents: Paul Pogba, Henrikh Mkitarhyan, Blaise Matuidi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Maxwell, Romelu Lukaku, Mario Balotelli

Contracts worth: £186m

Commissions: £18.7m

Sir Alex Ferguson may have blamed Raiola for the departure of Paul Pogba from Manchester United on the cheap, but the player's agent is synonymous with the trade, becoming a revered figure among his peers in recent years.

The Dutchman became Romelu Lukaku's agent earlier this year, claiming the Belgian would not have joined Everton had the striker been in his stable rather than that of long-standing agent Christophe Henrotay in 2014.

 

Stick £20m on top of that for Pogba (according to the press) and whatever Lukaku goes for, he's not had a bad summer.

Balotelli must be a joy to work with.
