VillaChris Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Is Munir on loan at Valencia or did they buy him? Surprised he was allowed to play if it was a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 That's the good thing about La Liga. Premier League clubs should follow that. If you can afford to loan players out to others sides then you should be prepared to face them when you meet the team you loaned them too. Its a joke how many players are loaned out now., Don't Chelsea loan out about 28 of their players. Its not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I think the problem is if you loan another PL team a keeper and he lets a soft one in during a crucial game towards the end of the season the press would be all over that with accusations of match fixing etc. Say we'd drawn Man. United in the 3rd round of the cup and Johnstone had let one in under his body in the last minute like Kiraly did in 2007.....imagine the reaction on here! It probably should be left up to the individual clubs and players though to decide rather than just a blanket ban. That happens in the CL....I remember Courtois played against Chelsea when at Atletico Madrid and Morientes years ago scored v Real Madrid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Lacazette apparently has agreed to join Atletico. Edited March 21, 2017 by Villaphan04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The atletico striker bandwagon rolls on think the only one that's been a major flop is vietto, other than that they just keep doing the goods, would expect lacazette to do ok there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Jackson Martinez for the money they spent on him was a massive flop although they recouped most of that when China came calling. Lacazette's an interesting one...looked brilliant for Lyon a few years back and still scores regularly as you'd expect in the French league. However he's been passed at international level by all the outstanding young French strikers coming through...didn't make the cut for euro 2016 and same could happen for the world cup so can understand he thinks it's now time to step up a level and play for a regular CL team. Guess that guarantees Greizmann is moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Griezmann wants to stay in Spain so if he does move its likely to be Barcelona or Real Madrid, although not sure where he fits in at Barcelona. Cant pick 4 forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Messi contract expires 2018. Barcelona talk big but dont think they are that interested in giving him a similar salary. I think they would accept a bid from China for him if they came in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 They have a phenomal record in replacing strikers. A bit more complicated now due to the transfer ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I thought it was an open secret Greizzy is off to Man. United...replace Rooney and also pretty much Zlatan. Pogba and him are best mates aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I think united are one of many that wish to sign him. The weather is something he doesn't fancy in Manchester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I'm sure the 200k + wages per week on offer will persuade him otherwise. Also read Everton were preparing a 20m bid for Bakambu...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yeah him and San Jose who plays for Real Sociedad. I do think he'd o.k in the prem but been disappointing this season and obviously quite a downgrade on Lukaku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yes he's been injured a lot of the time hasn't he. Certainly Villareal are better with him in the side. But Everton will never replace Lukaku. Their best striker in about 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
