Summer Transfer Window Thread 2015

[GoGo Yubari]

I... sure? I guess? For Europa League and coming in off the bench that's fine if he can stay healthy.

[Dan]

Pato is only 25 and had loads of potential, hopefully he can rediscover it because he was really good a few years ago.

[Rafael]

Well, he did rediscover his potential here while playing for Sao Paulo. Found a lot of his old form playing on the left wing with Osorio.

[Dan]

Oh that's good, I didn't really follow him in Brazil but it was a step-down from playing in Milan and looking like a star.

Pato must have a painting of himself in his loft because I could swear he has been around forever.

[Jimmy]

I mean €11 mil isn't a horrible price to take a risk on someone, considering how good he was. I mean, it sounds like he's found some form in Brazil, and he does offer something different from Kane, and then assumably as Poch has said, we've got a couple of players who could play up front in called upon. We've been quite lucky with Poch's fitness regime, so hopefully works for Pato if this goes ahead.

Leicester are in talks with Inter left back Yuto Nagatomo. Would be a pretty big coup.

Nagatomo's pretty decent. Leicester have made a few interesting signings in the last year and a bit.

[brenchill]

Pato is 25?  Thought he was about 35.

[Lineker]

Kevin De Bruyne is a done deal. Confirmed by City.

[Just Joe]

£52 Million seems a bit much... Wonder if Chelsea get any money from it?

[stokeriño]

Nah, no sell-on clause from what I heard.

I wonder where they'll play him... Ideally he'd play in the #10 spot, but benching Silva would be a dumb move at this point. Would either he or Silva (again) get shunted out to the wing, then? Would end up narrower than their current Sterling-Silva-Navas attack, if so.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Silva was better out on the right in the last game, I imagine it'll be Navas who gets dropped.

[Rafael]

Bayern defender Dante is set to join Wolfsburg. Dante and Naldo

Bayern also confirmed the signing of Juventus winger Kingsley Coman.

Newcastle Utd target Aymen Abdennour has signed with Valencia.

 

[Dan]

Wolfsburg are signing Draxler from Schalke.

[MDK]

Valdes to Besiktas is off.

[TCO]

Draxler would be an amazing replacement for De Bruyne. I always asusmed he'd end at Bayern as a read made replacement for Robben/Ribery.

I'd guess De Bruyne will replace Navas, primarily on the right in the City team and form part of an interchangeable 3 with Silva and Sterling.

[unitedツ]

So, United have been linked with both Anthony Martial and Charlie Austin in the past hour alone. I actually would like to see Austin given a chance, he comes across as a nice guy in every interview I've seen of him. 

[Lineker]

Wow, Draxler is an amazing coup for Wolfsburg.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

It no doubt only became a realistic possibility for them once the KDB money came in, but yeah, great deal fr them all the same.
