Summer Transfer Rumours Mk.II

Aguero? Wot?

http://www.mercato365.com/infos-clubs/saint-etienne/saint-etienne-seul-aubameyang-a-un-bon-de-sortie-1029259.shtml

French version:
Les médias peuvent se faire l'écho de rumeurs de transferts inspirées par des agents soucieux de défendre leurs intérêts, lesquels ne sont, souvent, même pas ceux des joueurs concernés.

L'ASSE tient à rappeler, notamment vis à vis de ses supporters :
1. Tous les joueurs du club ont un contrat à respecter
2. Tout départ nécessite l'accord de la direction et de l'entraîneur
3. Les propriétaires du club, Bernard CAIAZZO et Roland ROMEYER, ont toujours privilégié les valeurs humaines à l'aspect financier
4. Le club n'est pas dans l'obligation économique de vendre, maintient ses ambitions sportives et inscrit sa stratégie de développement dans une perspective européenne
5. Un seul joueur cadre, Pierre-Emerick AUBAMEYANG, dispose d'un bon de sortie

En conséquence, l'ASSE ne commentera pas les rumeurs concernant les mouvements de joueurs, relayées par certains médias et majoritairement infondées.

Translation of bolded portion: Only one significant player, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, has a ticket from the club to leave.

release clause is "clause libératoire" in french for future reference.

Even if a player doesn't work out... like Kaka for example... it still contributes directly and indirectly. The direct revenue is merchandising stuff. The indirect revenue is the extra ticker price that you can charge or the better media deal you can get because "Kaka" is in the package.

Not saying valuations are an exact science if you're project numbers. Any projection involves assumptions. My point is that the assumptions that go into projecting revenue are very different from club to club.

goal.com... but it's an interview with direct quotes. Looks highly likely that Grenier ends up at Arsenal.

Cheers

I doubt we have a hope in hell anyway, but while he remains a target i can dream

Thiago has offers from Chelsea, City, Man United and Bayern. He didn't yet decide if he'll stay or leave. Madrid not an option for him. [md]

another n10 for wenger? so which other n10 will end up on the wings?

Even if it is from MD, Thiago will pick Madrid as a last resort. It would be really shocking if decided to go Madrid

They are, but they still know more about Barca than any of us

Grenier can't play wide.... doesn't have the speed for it. It almost has to be Cazorla.

#Santos manager Muricy Ramalho has been sacked. Marcelo Bielsa and former Brazil manager Mano Menezes linked to the job.

If Grenier goes to Arsenal and doesn't play, it would be a really really really dumb choice by him. He has a big chance to make France NT that could go away very easily if he doesn't take it.

Arsenal don't play anyone wide anymore....

Its a 4-2-2-2 in the similar vein of City with fullbacks providing width.

That's why i don't think Arsene will really bid for him. It's all speculation for now. Grenier is better of staying at Lyon.

better off going to Monaco were Falcao will make him look better than he is.

Not to mention Wenger is gone next summer from arsenal most likely... kid needs someone to think for him a bit.

Nah 4-2-2-2 would be under appreciating the formation arsene has implemented.

It's just a hybrid of 4-4-2 and 4-3-3.

Mundo Deportivo and Sport deserve some respect,they got most of the Cesc and Nerman transfer saga right.When they give a news about barca you read it even if its very dubious, its not like the sun where you just laugh at anything they say.

And lets be honest, these Thiago rumors dont sound that off

Grenier was a beast in 2013 Nick... absolute monster for Lyon. He got them to CL by himself almost at the end imo.

better of staying at lyon and not sell his soul

Jovetic
Cazorla Cex Theo
Ramsey/Wilshere Arteta

As far as I know 'Sport' are very reliable when it comes to Barca news, they got Song to Barca first aswell. Dunno about Mundo.

waaaaat? his soul will be intact, it's Lyon who gave him the finger first when they wanted to trade him with freaking Monzon?

if i was him, i would take the money and go to a team that has massive aspiration in the league. he will be surrounded by good players, and Falcao will run routes for him.

@Sports, i know the kid is legit, playing with an elite CF that makes perfect runs and movements ahead of him will just help him and make him look better. Servicing Gomis all year is not a fun thing
