Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

Real Madrid announce Spain boss Julen Lopetegui as new head coach

Mauricio Pochettinoooooo,
He's a yido, you knooooow,

Great news that they've gone elsewhere..........now, about Gareth BALE?

 

I don't remember seeing his name in the betting odds. Is this a bit out of the blue or is it just me?

 

Mind you, Ol' Gunnersaurus was favourite at one point.......and AVB?

 

Glad they went for a big name!!
Well - a long, odd name at any rate....

 

They've been rejected by Low, Poch and Allegri... Probably just a process of "anyone fancy it?" in the end.

Biggest club in the world but the politics involved in that job/ club is ridiculous. Plus, Zidane also walked at the perfect time, just like SAF did from Utd. Players ageing and clearly didn't fancy the rebuilding job after such great success.

 

3yr deal apparently. shock announcement. gareth bale come our way.

 

You don't get Shakespearean references on the Premier League pages. #spursforumrocks

 

Not sure he'll join Atletico

 

we can pray

 

Julen Lopetegui is no fan of 'Our Gareth'. He said this in 2015.....

“A player at Real Madrid has to give 100% all the time. If he doesn’t then he might as well leave. La Liga is totally different to the Premier League. A player like that wouldn’t get into my team.”

 

I hope he enjoys eight months of being expected to hammer Florentino Perez's ever-growing list of new shiny things into a team, prior to being unceremoniously sacked because he looked at the Oily Rat at the centre of their personality cult funny one time

 

Maybe that's because I don't go on it and raise the whole intellectual level every time?

 

Cracking bit of ITK here

 

Had you down as more of a Derek than a Sam.

 

Atletico Madrid have agreed a deal for Thomas Lemar of Monaco. i remember when Arsenal could afford enough money to be turned down for players under 30 years of age.....

 

So Gareth's joining Cardiff?

 

It breaks my heart that our neighbours cannot
pay the wages to get utter mercs like Lemar to
forego CL football.

 

If Spurs pull out and in preference to United?....................Definitely.

 

I wonder where Colin will play him?
Those overheads kicks will be out of bounds
