Re: The Transfer Thread

Man City have pulled the plug on the Mahrez deal.

Good. Would rather let Foden develop instead of adding yet another attacking midfielder.

Re: The Transfer Thread

So what happens when Morata is fit? Do they change systems to play both? Is Giroud just swapping Arsenal's bench for Chelsea's or do Chelsea see Giroud as the #1?

I would say Giroud starts for now since Morata has been on a pretty dreadful run.

He swapped being 3rd in the pecking order for 2nd.

Lucas Moura to Spurs is done. Only £25 million since his contract was up in 6 months.

Re: The Transfer Thread

I've been reading Morata is still struggling with his back issues; some people are saying that's the reason for his poor form but... I dunno.

We may see Giroud Monday. He won't be #1 but will definitely get more of a run out there.

Giroud will probably get more play time than people think. We play 2 up top sometimes, and like you said Morata is currently injured. There will be plenty of rotation for Giroud I think.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Wondering if Crystal Palace will get Ronnow and Sorloth across the line before the end. Ronnow is looking unlikely(One of my favorite Danish GKs), but Sorloth possible still.

Andy King joins Swansea on loan from Leicester. Swansea play Leicester at the weekend so he can't play. Good start Andy!

Re: The Transfer Thread

Arsenal are apparently looking into Kostas Manolas. Apparently his release clause is only 33 million pounds.

Weird cause I signed him in my Arsenal save in FM 18.

Giroud is offically blue.

And so am I.

FIFA CONFIRM SUMMER WINDOW DATES

The summer transfer window in England will officially open in England on Thursday June 9, FIFA have confirmed.

Meanwhile, the window in England will officially close on August 31.

However, as previously reported, Premier League clubs voted to close their own window at 5pm on Thursday August 9, two days before start of next season.

* It means PL clubs have official trading window of 9 June - 9 August.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Still think it’s dumb the FA decided to do that without other leagues jumping on board.

Agreed. Premier League players can still be sold after Aug. 9 to other leagues up to Aug. 31. That could be a huge problem. If a player "forces" a sale between Aug. 9-31, the club isn't going to be able to bring in a replacement.

Edit: Hmm, I wonder if clubs could get around this problem by doing a loan for a player like PSG did with Mbappe. Not sure. I see the loan window may still be open until Aug. 31.

Re: The Transfer Thread

I think it'd be more interesting if they had at least elected to make Aug 9-31 a joker window, where the teams could sign/register 1 player.

My only real hope is that this eventually leads to transfer windows not happening while teams are playing.
