The generic transfer thread

Yeah, good player.

[Winston Biscuit]

Dybala joins Roma

[Winston Biscuit]

Zinchenko to Arsenal for £30m

[Royal Rother]

Zinchenko to Arsenal for £30m

Great deal for Arsenal on the face of it.

[Winston Biscuit]

Yeah surprised at that. Great player

[Pepe the Horseman]

Yep. Will get a chance to play further up the pitch too. Deffo one for the fantasy teams.

Arsenal doing some good business.

[Winston Biscuit]

De Ligt to Bayern for €80M

[Stranded]

Forest in advance talks with Jesse Lingard and are willing to smash their wage structure to get him.

They clearly appear to be going down the shit or bust route to PL recruitment. If they stay up, then they'll be OK, if they go down esp. as Lingard will be wanting upwards of 100k pw (some reports saying he wants 180k and could get that abroad) - then they could be in a world of pain if they drop.

Unless Tierney keeps getting injured?

But yes, he and Odegaard could be really good together.

[Loafer]

how can barcalona not afford to pay messi his wages but have splashed out again on players and wages?

The fact that Lingard hasn't found a club despite being publicly on the market for the last year should tell him all he needs to know about his wage demands.

Nautrally, but he'll end up getting more than he's proably worth.

Zinchenko to Arsenal for £30m

Great deal for Arsenal on the face of it.

A fair deal if he plays left midfield; a bad deal if he plays left-back.
One of a long line of left-backs at City not up to standard.

Harsh on Zinchenko. Has always looked capable when he's played. Would walk into most Prem sides at LB.

Poor defensively IMHO (as are most full-backs in the Premier League tbf).

[Royal Rother]

He’s better in midfield but still decent enough at LB IMO.

Do I need to point out the obvious here?

Looks like this is done. Just a 1 year deal. If 180k pw is accurate, with no fee this will cost Forest around 15m and they can part ways next summer. Might not actually be that bad a deal.

It’s a good job that there are no wingers about then nowadays!

Without knowing the ins and outs of the situation, looks like a really poor decision from Lingard to join Forest over West Ham, especially if he wants to break back into the England squad

His form for West Ham was excellent and it’s an opportunity to play in Europe again (albeit the conference league) which he may not get the chance to do again. Can’t see a single reason to join Forest (other than the £ of course)
