Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Goat]

They move fast, wonder would they give us some pointers

I think being 1 of the biggest clubs in the world helps them a bit.

 

[Barnfred 55]

Think he's already valued £40m+ (I'd still pay that)

Ha ha. Crazy.

I hate football.

All we have to do now is activate Malcom's release clause of 400m

All this fuss over Mina and I've only seen him play two games. No idea if he's good enough.

He looks like he's just been to the corner shop for some milk...this is SO on!!!

 

[Kinky Koeman]

Seems to have gone quiet once again.

Anyone heard any absurd rumours to stoke the fire? x

this is the transfer season...you don't need to have seen 'targets' to get over excited about our signing them....and then fuuuuuming when it doesn't happen.

This tweet highlights why when people say they wish the club was more open about things, they shouldnt be.

He played both and said he might go with 2 DMs depending on personnel, but these aren't two sit there and do nothing #6 players, they are dynamic players like Doucoure.

That's why the Denis Zakaria shouts are VERY encouraging. He won't be cheap and I'm not sure he's better than Doucoure, but he's maybe even a better fit with his height.

I think its interesting if he goes for the 2 players in front of the defence.

If he had a 'star' DM like a Busquets hes said before he would only play 1 there...so it seems like he will keep one of our existing players there and add in another.

Zakaria is interesting. He seems totally different to doucoure to me...more someone who sits back and positions himself to give and receive simple passes. Doucoure is all about power.

Key is that at 21 Zakaria is a long term option who can be moulded into a position.

I know Mina and Digne are 'on paper' very good moves for us...

Am i alone in not being excited about either of them?
