- Flipe Luis (Ath. Madrid)
- Ramires (Juve / Wolfsburg)
- Remy (Palace)

City
IN
- Alderweireld
- Kurzawa

I think Khedira will go to schalke or an italian team.
Milner I agree with, which makes me wonder who would be dropped from the team, sterling?
Gundogan would probably move to a bigger club.
Walcott Im not sure is an upgrade on navas.
Sterling could be citys all out transfer, although I think he'd probably prefer a London club.
 
City: Sterling, De Bruyne, Henderson
Arsenal: Kondogbia, Fekir, Alderweireld
Liverpool: Walcott, Milner, Ings
Chelsea: Varane, Felipe Anderson, Dybala
Spurs: Wanyama, Berahino

Why is everyone having Varane to Chelsea? What have I missed?

Just a hunch. Dragovic maybe a better shout though, they need an understudy and they do like players with an 'ic.
 
Arsenal
IN
- obscure central defender.
- track schneiderlin all summer, lose out to Chelsea and then go for carvalho or kondogbia.
- small, tricky wide player.
they seem to get one big money signing a year, who could that be?

OUT
- sceszny hopefully
- flamini
- rosicky
- podolski
- campbell

I think Henderson has his heart set on being liverpools chief chest pumper.

Only one of your "outs" that'll happen for us is Cech. No chance Remy or Ramires will leave. Very slight chance Luis does.
 
If Arsenal get Schneiderlin and Cech, they will finally be in business for a serious league challenge.

Would Ramires not want more games? Schneiderlin is an upgrade.

He gets plenty of games when he's fit (which he hasn't been much this season) and he's one of Josè's favorites.

I agree that Schneiderlin would be great, but he would replace Ramires. Maybe Mikel.

We definitely do need another midfield player, though. Schneiderlin would be a fantastic addition but when he leaves Southampton it'll be for a club where he'd be an every match starter. He wouldnt be that here unless we switched to a 4-3-3. I think he ends up at Arsenal, Spurs, or to you guys.
 
Liverpool

In
Danny Ings
Will Hughes
Samir Handanovich
Javier Manquillo (made permanent)
Theo Walcott

Out
Ricky Lambert
Mario Ballotei
Fabio Borini
Glen Johnson
Steven Gerrard

Would be surprised if either happened to be honest :lol:
 
I think we'll likely see:

Milner to Liverpool
Walcott to Liverpool
Berahino to Liverpool
Schneiderlin to Arsenal
Varane to Chelsea
Pogba to City (maybe Chelsea?)

I think that's a little football manager mode.

I think that's a stereotype. Last summer's transfer window and the Gabriel signing in January shows that we now get all our deals done well on time. If we want him, then we'll get him. Unless it's crazy money we're talking about, we won't be outbid either.

I don't know who our targets are, but we better sign a top goalkeeper. Centre-back I am not so sure anymore. We've got Mertesacker, Koscielny, Chambers and Gabriel. So I don't know if the manager will buy anyone unless someone leaves. Kondogbia is also a bit doubtful as we've got Coquelin and will probably offer Arteta a contract extension. Let's see.

Outs: Podolski and Flamini are definitely out. Campbell will probably go too, although he could be our new Welington Silva. Surprised no one's mentioned Walcott. I think we'll sell him this summer. Got only a year left on his deal and we won't pay his crazy wages anymore. That makes room for one wide player. Who will it be?

You tell me, you will know more being an arsenal fan. Nani is a wildcard, Sterling I can imagine would like to live in London. You seem to be capable of getting one star signing each season. Reus seems to be an Arsenal favourite, but I highly doubt that transfer happening.

I have a sneak feeling that you'll lose Schneiderlin to Chelsea, it feels straightforward - but Chelsea have a habit of coming out of nowhere.
 
Honestly not sure if we'll get another star signing this season. Reus just signed a new deal at Dortmund, so it's definitely not going to be him. I wouldn't be surprised to see the manager to go for two or three 10-15 mil players and use the Walcott money for an attacking replacement. I know Wenger likes Cavani, but that's a deal I can't see happening.

No offence here, But got some serious bones to pick with this,

- No way will Real Madrid sell Isco their main promising Spanish star, The fans would be up in arms plus it wouldn't make sense at all from a football perspective either, He is fantastic.

- Why City would buy an old and past his peak Jagielka wouldn't make any sense.

- Cannot see Liverpool spending that kind of money to attract all of them, Plus I don't think Lacazette would go to Liverpool anyways IMO. Also not sure they could afford Pedro's wages.

- No way Griezmann leaves Atletico unless it is for crazy money, They only paid €30 last Summer. Plus Arsenal already have similar players for that position in Ozil, Alexis etc.

There isnt an obvious star signing that I can think of, perhaps it will go on the midfield, schneiderlin would be 20+.

What are the chances of Cazorla leaving for Ath. madrid? I get the impression he wouldnt mind going home.
 
Not full on predictions, but I think Sterling will end up at City, and Walcott will go to Liverpool.
 
I'll take a perma-ban if Pogba goes to City. Zero chance he does.

You that sure he'll go to Chelsea, or just that he won't go to City?

I've been predicting Pogba to City since right back when his contract nonsense started with us, so I'm nothing if not consistent :lol:

I'm just sure he won't go to City.

Do think we have a legitimate chance at him but we're certainly not favorites or anything.

Zero chance? Why?

His agent is close with the club and has said he'd sell Pogba to City in a heartbeat, and that is a massive factor, you cannot underestimate the importance the agent has. You only have to look at the relationship Mendes has with certain clubs and where his players often end up.

City still have spending power so it's just silly to say we have no chance of signing him. I don't think we will, but it would hardly be shocking stuff if he did.

Okay, as small a chance as is possible without being zero.

Money won't be the issue. He'll basically have his pick of any club in Europe. Can't see a player like that choosing City.
 
I thought City were still limited on how much they can spend for breaking the FFP rules. Am I wrong?
 
In mostly general terms:

* United, City and (to a lesser extent) Chelski to continue with their money-bags approach, signing expensive players and paying huge wages.
* Liverpool face a difficult summer, with Gerrard leaving and the uncertainty over Sterling.
* As with last summer, Arsenal to again be in a position to spend - and to actually spend - more than usual.
* Spurs to generally continue with the focus on developing and bringing young players into the first team squad: Yedlin to provide competition to Walker, Delle Alli (who will definitely come into the first team squad from his current loan to MK Dons), and decisions to be made about the future of players like Alex Pritchard (who has had an excellent season on loan to Brentord), Tom Carroll (currently on loan to Swansea) and Ryan Fredericks (on loan currently Middlesboro').

Hazard chose Chelsea over United and as decisions go thats baffling. A player who apparently chose the winners of a cup competition over the dominating English club of the past 20 years who play in front of 75,000+ every home game.....with this in mind a footballer or his agent can make any random decision.

Getting a whiff of 'look at us developing youth over spending big' YAWN......If Spurs had the money they would spend it.

Zero debt and a profit of £65.3m reported in the most recent set of accounts: so there's little doubt that there's money to spend if the club chooses. However, for the last year or so the club has shifted more towards spending money on acquiring and/or developing young players - e.g. Dier, Delle Alli and Yedlin. I expect this to continue, including bringing some of our currently on-loan players into the first team squad for next season.

Is there something wrong with this? Does it burn your arse for some reason? It seem it does.
