Non-Chelsea Transfer Pub

[SadistChicken 143]

We love football and watch a lot of other leagues, especially Serie A and some Bundesliga, less so La Liga, and less than that of Ligue 1. Shitty are easy to see who they will go for, as they are basically like us, but with more cash to splash (looks like that may come back to bite their cheating arses!).
I (or my wife) hear of a good player, and then we will find whole games they played in and check them out. Highlight reels are okay for introduction, but you have to watch whole games to really see. Pretty much the only way I will watch a Ligue 1 game is if it to scout a player or players, and then I at least try and find a decent match, especially against a better side, to see how they stack up.
Here is a list of my favourite 23yo and under Ligue 1 players (no particular order) Obviously Mbappe is my number one rate
Bold are ones I really really rate either now (red) or potentially (black)
 
Nicolas Pepe  RW  Lile (23yo) REALLY rate hi, would be a great buy for us
Willem Geubbels   LW Monaco (17yo) potentially Jadon Sancho level young winger (I call him, Sancho, and our CHO the 3 young LW musketeers)
Thilo Kehrer  CB  PSG (22yo)   Huge cock-up by the board, he would have been perfect for Sarriball, and also plays (starts at times) RB, instead we cased and got assfucked by Juve with Rugani and Caldara, who I do NOT rate over Kehrer, and who only costed £37m, versus the almost £50m we were offering for Rugani and Caldara
Malang Sarr CB  OGC Nice  (19yo)
Lenny Pintor  LW  Lyon (18yo)
Giovani Lo Celso  CMF  PSG (on loan at Real Betis  (22yo)
Rafik Guitane  AMF  Stade Rennais  (19yo)
Keita Baldé    LW  Monaco (on loan at Inter Milan)  (23yo)

Boubacar Kamara  CB  Olympique Marseille (18yo)
Timothy Weah  CF PSG  (18yo)
Aleksandr Golovin  AMF Monaco (22yo) obviously well known here
Pietro Pellegri  CF Monaco (17yo)
Adrien Rabiot  CMF  PSG (23yo)
Angelo Fulgini  CMF/RB   Angers  (22yo)
Rony Lopes   RW   Monaco  (22yo)
François Kamano  LW Bordeaux (22yo)
Antoine Bernede  CMF  PSG  (19yo)
Yann Karamoh  RW Bordeaux (20yo)
Maxwel Cornet  RW   Lyon  (22yo)
Ludovic Blas  CMF  Guingamp  (20yo)
Benjamin Henrichs RB  Monaco (21yo)

William Saliba   CB  Saint-Étienne   (17yo)
Colin Dagba  RB  PSG  (20yo)
Jonathan Panzo  CB  Monaco  (17yo)  We sold him for only 3m euros, but there is a gentlemen's agreement (this is disputed)  on a buy-back option (BB clauses are illegal in France) I so so hope selling him doesnt come back to bite us in the arse
Valentin Rongier  CMF  Nantes (23yo)
Enzo Loiodice  CMF  Dijon (17yo)
Stanley N'Soki   LB  PSG  (19yo)
Valentin Rosier  RB Dijon  (22yo)
Moussa Sylla  CF Monaco  (18yo)

Kelvin Amian  RB  Toulouse  (20yo)
Danilo  DMF  OGC Nice (22yo)
Presnel Kimpembe  CB  PSG  (23yo)
Wylan Cyprien  CMF OGC Nice  (23yo) was tracking to be a star, but had a devastating knee injury 2 years ago

Köln resigned Modeste for free. Immediately able to feature. Could have been a more than solid stopgap until a good striker comed available

[Fernando 6,743]

Veratti the dream that never happened. 😔

Which de jong do you mean?

Frenkie, sorry for not being more specific, although I did say 'if Kovacic leaves' in regards to him, so I was referring to MF

The only other de Jong I know of is PSV's Luuk de Jong, a 28yo CF who I have far less interest in, although he is scoring at a pretty high pace , 14 goals and 5 assists in only 19 games

I am 100000% sure that our scouting department knows (and has probably seen play live) all I listed.

I am NOT advocating we go after every one of those, not even most of those, but there are some huge talents mixed in there, and the really young one are so worth watching as that is where you get the positive steals.

these are the 15 best 'ready to start now' on that list IMHO (no order)

Nicolas Pepe  RW  Lille (23yo) <<< he would be a monster at RW for us

Thilo Kehrer  CB  PSG (22yo)   

Giovani Lo Celso  CMF  PSG (on loan at Real Betis  (22yo)

Houssem Aouar  CMF/AMF  Lyon (20yo)

Tanguy Ndombélé  CMF  Lyon  (21yo)

Ferland Mendy  LB   Lyon  (23yo)

Malang Sarr CB  OGC Nice  (19yo)

Aleksandr Golovin  AMF Monaco (22yo) 

Adrien Rabiot  CMF  PSG (23yo)

Presnel Kimpembe  CB  PSG  (23yo)

Youri Tielemans  CMF Monaco (21yo)

Keita Baldé    LW  Monaco (on loan at Inter Milan)  (23yo)

Maxwel Cornet  RW   Lyon  (22yo)

Benjamin Henrichs RB  Monaco (21yo)

Christopher Nkunku  CMF  PSG  (20yo)

 

and the 5 best prospects

Jean-Clair Todibo  CB  Toulouse  (18yo) <<< beast

Pietro Pellegri CF Monaco (17yo)

Willem Geubbels  LW Monaco (17yo)

Stanley N'Soki   LB  PSG  (19yo)

Myziane Maolida  CF  OGC Nice (19yo)

No striker?

WTF

This is nothing but the same old same old shit, recycled

Napoli WILL NOT SELL TO US

Juve have FUCKED us in the arse over Sandro for 3 straight years

Pulisic is FAR from the best RW we need, and £70m for him is madness

finally, Ake wasn't good enough before when we dumped him for £20m, NOW all of a sudden he is TWICE as good and worth £40m??

if all this is true, our board is even worse that I thought, and I think THEY ARE SHIT

 

super frustrated

[BlueLyon 9,359]

What about Depay? Fixed his workrate and now looks more level headed, he plays quite well for Lyon and Netherlands, althrough he has been hot and cold in ligue 1 this year. 

Ex united player too, but tbh I wouldnt give a shit as long was success here. Would be interesting to see him in cf role under Sarri.

Mourinho urges Man Utd to spend up to £71m to land Dutch sensation Matthijs de Ligt

https://www.teamtalk.com/news/mourinho-urges-man-utd-to-spend-up-to-71m-to-land-dutch-sensation-linked-with-liverpool

Jose Mourinho has instructed the Manchester United board to secure the signing of Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt at all costs, a report claims.

De Ligt is just 19 years of age, but such has been his progress that he has been watched by scouts all over Europe.

Manchester United and Spurs have been linked with the Dutch international over the last few months with Spurs viewing him as a replacement for United target Toby Alderweireld.

On Thursday, Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk said his Holland team-mate will undoubtedly be on Liverpool’s list of potential targets.

Mourinho though is desperate to sign a new centre-back, with Eric Bailly and Chris Smalling among those linked with exits while Victor Lindelof has struggled for consistent form.

De Ligt is viewed as a perfect solution for the Red Devils, and Don Balon claim that the Red Devils may have to fork out as much as £71.2million (€80m) to beat their rivals to his signature.

That amount would represent the highest fee ever paid for a teenager, who Catalan giants Barcelona are also apparently considering as a long-term replacement for the 32-year-old Gerard Pique.

Barcelona cannot buy any more Liverpool players until 2020 unless they are prepared to pay a £90m premium on top of any transfer agreed, Sky Sports News understands.

I'm guessing napoli as some sort of clause on us buying napoli players

Manchester City, Barcelona Reportedly Told Frenkie de Jong Will Cost £75M

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2807124-manchester-city-barcelona-reportedly-told-frenkie-de-jong-will-cost-75m

Ajax will reportedly demand a £75 million price tag for Manchester City and Barcelona transfer target Frenkie de Jong. 

According to the Mirror's David Anderson, the Dutch side feel comfortable asking for such a fee due to the many clubs interested in his services and the fact they have him under contract until 2022.

De Jong is one of two top talents making headlines for Ajax this season, and both he and Matthijs de Ligt have been linked with a host of top clubs.

According to Anderson, the battle for De Jong will come down to the English and Spanish champions, with Barcelona eager to top any offer the Citizens make. City see him as the ideal long-term replacement for Fernandinho and want to avoid missing out on him the way they did on Jorginho.

Chelsea join Manchester United in race for £70m-rated Inter Milan star Milan Skriniar

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/7797428/chelsea-join-manchester-united-in-race-for-70m-rated-inter-milan-star-milan-skriniar/

CHELSEA are in the race to sign Inter Milan’s £70 million-rated star Milan Skriniar.

The Slovakia defender is on Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri’s shopping list as he draws up plans to bolster his team’s back four.

Skriniar, 23, has been on rivals Manchester United’s radar for some time but Sarri is now keen to raid his homeland and pinch one of Italian football’s finest centre halfs.

Sarri is facing growing issues in his defence with ageing players and frustrated youngsters.

 

The Italian isn't fully satisfied with the way his squad is performing and thinks he can get much more out of the team with a reshuffle.

Brazilian centre half David Luiz has been rejuvenated since Sarri took over in the summer but will be 32 by the end of this season.
