2017 Winter Transfer Rumors Mk. 1

Don't call me James wrote:Serie Zzz is an inferior league. Any average player in PL would look great in that league. But all the supposed 'stars' from Retirement League will struggle in the Mighty League.

Your best player is a Serie Z reject.

Stfu

Coutinho is the best player in the league because he wasn't exposed to the Retirement League for too long fortunately.

Agreed. Coutinho was complete dire at Inter but was great on loan at Espanyol and is dominating now in the PL. Might have to do with the turbulent switcheroo of coaches Inter had during that time tho.

Wait no, disagreed. He's not the best player in the league.

Mikel in China

Meh. He's been at the club for 10 years, but will be hardly missed or considered one of the Chelsea greats. In some part of his time here he stepped the hell up, like in Ancelotti's first season and our CL win with RDM, but he always failed to follow that upward trajectory or just maintain that level. That's why he never imposed himself as a starter and was used as a late sub during his time here. He hasn't featured one single minute under Conte.

That feeling when the biggest stars in Arsenal, Liverpool and United all came through Serie A and Chelsea is coached by Conte. Mule league

Not sure if I am taking the bait or its a serious question tbh so I won't answer

No bait just a fair question. Is he even worth it?

Thibuuu wants to come to Madrid

^Absolutely worth it. Kid is a monster already and has 20 years of football in front of him. Don't care about the price if he comes, we paid 40m for Buffon 16 years ago and it was beyond worth it. Replacing Buffon is the hardest thing to do for Juve, no one better than Donnarumma for it.

Don't know if there is any truth to that rumor but Marotta and co. have repeatedly said that he would be the ideal replacement. Its just a matter of Milan letting him go, which I can't imagine they will want to.

Sevilla buying a forward will only cover part of their problems. They need 3 new CBs if they want to continue with the 352. Rami, Mercado, Pareja are too slow and shaky under pressure

Donarumma for that much is abit excessive but Juve splashed the cash on Buffon too. If he stays witj them for as long as Buffon did it'll have been worth it

Richard Bazoer reveals he rejected Arsenal for Wolfsburg

Reading reports we're close to signing Hirving Lozano I've never been so hyped PLEASE DON'T BE BULLSHIT

Arsenal are interested in signing Torino's Andrea Belotti but have been put off by their £50m valuation of the striker. (Source: Sun Sport)

Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay will not play for Manchester United again - Jose Mourinho

That settles it then. The former is off to Everton and the latter well.. God knows where. Sad it didnt worked out especially for MS. Alway rated him, still rates him. Hope both of them do well going forward in their careers.

Keep dreaming about Donna

Higuaín transfer came out of the blue when nobody expected it. Nothing is ruled out tbh.

Hope Raiola and Galliani can do us one last favour

Wait Riola is Donna's agent prepare to lose him after a season if you bought him

Raiola is agent of Hamsik too and was also Nedved's agent. Look how that turned out.

Donna won't move outside Italy imo. Juventus or Milan is in his destiny. Hopefully he is wise enough to follow his idol's footsteps and becomes a Juve legend

You wanna make this a Non DQ bet?

I might wanna take it but I also know booking hugely favours you so I don't know tbh

Not interested in putting anyone over right now (:

Besides we already have 2 ongoing long term bets ffs. I might have a think once that is concluded. Trust me I am no Sackless_Hans
