Summer Football and Transfers Thread 2016

[Cairhiin]

Ajax picks up 32 yr old German defender Heiko Westermann transfer free from Real Betis for 2 years. Has played 27 international games for Die Mannschaft. Pretty decent (albeit maybe a tad too old) transfer to replace Mike van der Hoorn whom we lost to Swansea.

Let's hope he doesn't end up being treated with the same shit as Heitinga.

That was kind of shameful I agree but different coach now so let's hope it doesn't happen again.

N’Golo Kante to Chelsea for 35 million euros.

[Cairhiin]

Marc Wilmots fired as coach of Belgium. May the speculations begin.

Absolutely huge buy for Chelsea; midfield was the main problem area last season.

Glad he didn't go to PSG, they still got that polish chap who's decent.

No surprises - he was abysmal.

No surprises - he was abysmal.

He kind of had a very expensive contract that needed to be bought out. The Belgian football association doesn't have that many resources.

In related news Shevchenko is the new coach of Ukraine

Bit early, is it not. The season hasn't started, it's still summer football pre season stuff.

But if someone wants to create one already they can. This thread is staying open until the season actually starts though.

Qualifiers for the CL/EL have already started & the mighty Greenock Morton start off on Saturday against Albion

Delighted with Kante.
An absolute must.

Good job Chels.
Just need to keep hold of Matic


Matic, Kante and Fabregas. Best midfield in the league that.

PS thoughts go out to any posters on here who were affected by the Nice attack.

You and me both mate.


Although, I don't really care if we get back into the CL. Number 1 priority.

[Gorged]

For some retarded reason we are favourites to get promoted to the championship for the 4th season in a row...

If Cesc goes back in time 5 years and Kante learns how to play forward passes then maybe it has a chance of being top 3 midfield in the league.

[Cairhiin]

Mario Götze for almost 30m back to Dortmund.

Bitter that Cesc never won you a PL title.

Truth hurts I guess. At the end of the day you've signed a very, very expensive Coquelin.

[sheffield]

i still haven't forgiven Le Coq for that red against Spurs

Oh behave.

Kanté is such a likeable guy as well - gave top knotch interviews during the Euros.
Also he's the most highly educated player in the France squad. Goes a long way to explain his attitude towards hard work and commitment IMO.

So apparently Middlesbrough are just signing an entire new team..

rofl.

Kante is much better than Coq.
Do you even watch Football?

Did you see how shit your boy Xhaka was at the Euros? Gutted for you mate. Really am.
