Transfers (General)

[Irishnev]

Isco is worth a rescue mission but not Jese.

Both are 10s, both are better than what we have, both will be expensive but neither are what we need right now I think. James would be good for set pieces but he is a luxury player.

If I was a betting man - Isco to City and James to United (via Mendes)

[redmike65]

Whoops! I read Jess not James Rodders, why would they get rid of Ha-mes?

They want Hazard to replace him

[danperkins]

James is over rated, Jese is **** & Isco is very talented but like many other players... made the money move to Madrid and it has stunted his career.

Sure apparently Ronaldo & Ramos have handed in transfer requests. By the goes of it Madrid will have to get a full new team.

Madrid are 1/2 vs Levante tonight who are rock bottom of the league, that's ridiculous odds for them... shows how bad things are with them at the moment.

Also rumblings of them being unhappy with Zidane - what an absolute joke of a club they are. Agree on James & Jese

I hate the way they run their club, the Galactico era was a failure and they're a mess now.

Ronaldo is a man-child, the way he behaves is absolutely pathetic. Yes they've been unlucky to run into Barcelona during Peps time and now again with Suarez, Messi and Neymar but they are spoilt brats.

Sacking Ancelotti was ridiculous.

Their fans don't help either, god forbid they tried to build a cohesive unit, a team that defends and attacks properly they'd be boo'd off

Sacking Ancelotti was ridiculous, but so was sacking Rafa, there wasn't a chance in hell that ZZ was going to turn them around in the league, Barca are just too good this season. Should've stuck with Rafa and let him manage the team.

James had a very good first season under Ancelotti. 17 goals and 18 assists all up. Been injured for a lot of this season though.

I'd swap him for Coutinho in a heartbeat.

I wouldn't. I don't think he'd do well in rough & tumble of the premier league. When he has time and space he looks good, but he doesn't have the skill of Ronaldo or the tenacity of Saurez to be able to thrive in this league. Someone will sign him, but he won't be the world beater they expect him to be.

[dww]

I suspect that, like Ozil, he could be good but would need time and to be determined to make it.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic transfer news: PSG striker demands £600,000-a-week from Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United

Ibrahimovic is out of contract with PSG at the end of the season and his agent has revealed interest from the Premier League

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is willing to move to the Premier League after seeing interest from four English clubs who want to sign him, but he will demand a world record £600,000-a-week before completing any move.

Ibrahimovic is out of contract with Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season and will be free to negotiate a move away from the recently crowned Ligue 1 champions, and the 34-year-old has plenty of interest to consider for his next club.

Should he decide to leave PSG, Ibrahimovic could move to the Premier League after speaking positively of English football in recent weeks, but the Sweden international is also believed to have offers from China too.

According to the Daily Mail though, Ibrahimovic will demand a world record wage of £600,000-a-week, dwarfing the current Premier League record of Wayne Rooney’s £260,000-a-week.

A source involved in trying to bring Ibrahimovic to the Premier League labelled the wage demands “crazy” and cast doubts over whether any English club would be willing to fork out such a wage packet on one player in the latter years of his career.

“We would like to sign him, but the money is crazy,” the source said. “We get that he would be a significant capture, but is he really worth that money — and at the age of 34?”

Ibrahimovic is believed to have concerns over the tax rate in the united Kingdom, hence the astronomical wage demands, but despite clubs interested in his services needing to pay an incredible £31m-a-year to the Swede if they sign him on the wage being asked for, his agent revealed that there is serious interest from the Premier League.

“With the exception of Manchester City, where there is (Pep) Guardiola, all the big clubs have knocked on the door,” Mino Raiola, Ibrahimovic’s agent, told Italian newspaper Gazetta dello Sport.

Let's hope the Mancs go for it and offer him that sort of daft money.

[Chazza]

Can only see him going to China if those are his wage demands.
