The summer transfer window 2019 thread

[steveyrockstar]

Let's look at the positive, we will feel more confident and elated when he rejects another club in favour of joining us, all because he likes the cut of our jib, our growing pool of talent, and sees our potential (and loves the size of his wage-packet...)

[Rasp]

How is his name pronounced is it Haller as in Tall..er or some other way

Don't know but his only got one ball.

[Irrons]

In other less exciting news, Swansea (and Fulham) are linked with Reece Oxford:

If he hasn't signed by the end of today I take it there's a problem.

Haller is pronounced the French way: Drop the H, the Cockney way, stretch the vowels and you're pretty much there: 'Aaalleeeer.

Same with the first name, Sebastiooohh.

[Barnet Steve]

Or they can't think of a clever social media way to show him off.

Damn does this mean we have to pronounced Paris the French way too. Hey if we aren't careful we will have to start pronuncing our old home more like Boulogne. But then I still get pissed when I hear Amazon pronounced the American way.

Apparently Dortmund are the team that have come in for him.

[Denzil]

Nicolo Schira clearly likes to over-egg the pudding, but at this point demonstrably has an inside track on the bigger deals the club does. First to flag interest in Anderson, Nasri and Haller. Maybe on Diop as well?

Apparently good friends with our assistant manager.

UtJ re The Guardian reporter. I must admit I didn't know who he was, just see his comment retweeted on Twitter and thought it might be someone stirring.

[Irrons]

Getting all the way to this stage and then pulling out would demonstrate extraordinary bad faith on Haller and his agents part...it may just be last minute posturing/negotiating tactics to eek out or iron out some of the finer details before signing the contract...fingers crossed

[gegsy]

When he arrives, confiscate his passport.

Or Jacks mini cam is on recharge delaying the launch video.

Dortmund have really been splashing the cash this summer – seems not very Dortmund-like. Who are they selling?

The concept of "good faith" doesn't really exist in football...

By the standards of the game as they are now, his agent is doing what he should and keeping all his options open until the last moment.

It'll be interesting to see if we can apply some pressure to get it over the line.

Nightmare.

[Irrons]

We should submit mega bids for Paco Alcacer and Jadon Sancho and offer to double their current salaries...and whilst we're at it put in similar unsettling bids for Gotze, Reus, Brandt and Hazard

CB to PSG for 30 mil, one that isn't even first choice, bit of a strange signing from PSG, none of the players they are signing will be on horrendous wages a quite a few could turn out to be sold for lots of profit

[Crouchend_Hammer]

Dortmund have been linked with him for ages
