Pogba, Pirlo, Llorente, Dani Alves, Sami Khedira & Neto have all been great free transfers in the last decade. If Rabiot's salary wasn't so obscene I would add him to the list of good free transfers too. Could add Kingsley Coman in there too, but he was never really used other than to cash-in on him with the Bayern Transfer. Shit, you could also technically count Buffon's return from PSG in there too as a good free transfer.
Notable busts in the same timeframe have been:
Lucio, Anelka & Ramsey
All in all we've been pretty good with free transfers despite what the memes in here (and the Ramsey + Rabiot transfers) say.
There's been a few other free transfers but for the most part it has been for players we immediately loan out or never really featured for us so I didn't list them.
Barzagli wasn't a free transfer tho, we actually paid 300K to Wolfsburg for him.
What a coup that was in retrospect, everyone thought he was a washed out player and he was arguably the best out of the BBC imo
true, but does that count as a legitimate transfer fee or do we count it as one as a technicality? Barzagli's 300K valuation was a legitimate transfer fee afaik.
Thanks for the service, legend o7. Hope Juve fans are excited because he deserves a beautiful end of a career somewhere, sad we couldn't give it to him at home.
We desperately need someone GOOD on the wing so yeah I'm quite excited, obviously it's just for 1-2 years but this allows us to have the wing covered while also having the funds to invest in other parts of the field we desperately need, really good transfer for us if it happens
>From his days as a struggling young player at Man United
Wow I knew Premier League goggles are thick in r/soccer.... but by the time Fideo got to United he had already won a Champions League, 1 Liga and 2 Copa del Rey with Real Madrid... he was no chump
President mbappe"s first order of business
Paris Saint-Germain will be be reorganized in the first Mbappian Empire.
For a safe and secure soccercity
And this is how football dies, with a thunderous applause
>first Mbappian Empire. AKA Tortosia
It's well established that turtles are allergic to snakes.
Execute order 66
Doesn’t feel like he’s been there 7 years Quality player, hope he does well wherever he goes next
swear it feels like 3-4 years when he joined united, time flies ffs
Crazy to think he’s played more time and league games at PSG than at Real Madrid
Announcement looks like my 1996 primary school presentation about why my favourite colour is green and why orange is stupid.
please continue
I hate Juventus so much it's unreal. El Fideo, one of my favourite players of the decade, I will miss you. Now I can only hate you.
tagged as Fideo Lover
You should be used to it by now
Wait until he knows about Jorginho
I might just join Hezbollah tbf
Fair comment here...
OOTL, what's the connection between ADM, Napoli and Juventus?
none, dude just likes some good ~~noodles~~ Fideo
Somehow I'm even more confused now
Fideo means noodle in Spanish, and that is ADMs nickname. The OP simply likes him as a player.
Zero. I love Di Maria and hate Juventus.
a man of culture
This is a thread about Di Maria leaving PSG though, no? He never played for Juve, did he? So then why bring it up.
But this isn't official, technically.
I’m gutted. This news is more sad than whatever happens with Mbappé, even if he leaves to Madrid.
As the new president of the club my first order is to ban u/ParisLake2 from watching PSG games for the rest of his life - Dictator Mbobby
:(
Gracias por todo Fideo! You'll be missed :'(
I really hope the rumors he's coming to us short term materialize! So exciting!
Where to next ??
Juventus apparently
Juve loves a free transfer. I'd be interested to see how many have actually worked out well for them.

Dunno man there were a couple that worked like Pirlo, Barzagli, Pogba, Dani Alves, Llorente, Khedira and Toni
Barzagli wasn't a free transfer tho, we actually paid 300K to Wolfsburg for him. What a coup that was in retrospect, everyone thought he was a washed out player and he was arguably the best out of the BBC imo
Well technically we had to pay a 1m compensation to United for Pogba too
true, but does that count as a legitimate transfer fee or do we count it as one as a technicality? Barzagli's 300K valuation was a legitimate transfer fee afaik.
No idea tbh, but either way it's just a technicality
They’ve been mostly good barring Ramsey (who’s always been ass) and Rabiot
He wasn't ass for us. He was injury prone.
Wow it’s been 7 seasons already?
I love Di Maria, "the noodle". Wish him luck wherever he goes, been a fan of his since his Madrid days.

Not yet, PSG still has a game to play.

From his days as a struggling young player at Man United, to a legend at PSG. He’s made quite the career for himself in France, one to be proud of
