Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Blues Harp]

My football intelligence which is finely tuned. You're probably just as good at understanding Rugby Union.

lollollollol..........keep it coming comedy Dave.....

NSNO doesnt mean "walk away" Dave.

Mina = are you saying he's nothing but the best?

 

[TheNinja]

The fee is because of a relegation release clause.

Thought it was something on those lines...

 

[brieverton]

We need to walk away now from this Mina business.

Plenty of CBs out there...apparently Brands was brought in for just such a search.

I agree, clearly he seems the preferred option though. Sums up everything that’s wrong about how transfers are conducted this, and of course huge potential for us to come out the wrong side. His agent/uncle must be salivating like a hound at a hunt. As you say plenty of CB’s out there, failure to get at least one that’s decent marks this window as a failure regardless.

 

[davek]

Wasn't he in last year of contract at a relegated club?

Bargains are there...if you look hard enough and try hard enough.

Lateral thinking is what we need not some obvious big bids for "King for a month" players who cant get a game at a big club.

 

[Bluelenny1984]

Yep. Trust Koeman to find the worst of them.

Tell you something Dave, I've seen you write alot of things on here some I agree with and some o don't. But by God did you see through Koeman!

 

[billyblue80]

I'd make the final bid and go and find someone else who will be ready for this league straight away. If he/they come crawling back them sign him. Dave is right though he's probably not worth this much fuss.

Im saying hes our first choice, we shouldnt give up on our first choice unless he says no.

As you say, theres other CBs out there, but for now Mina is on the table.

'kin Mina. You'd think it was Pique we were in for.

Unbelievable the amount of fuss over some mush who had a decent World Cup game or two.

...yeah, in your own time like. Only had three months to nail this deal...plenty more time left...

FFS.

Its funny you should mention Pique.

A player who couldnt get a game for United who moved to Barca.

He was an obvious one for me. A complete holgram of a manager. As soon as he came in and started talking about hard work making the most of talent I knew what an utter charlatan he was. Money for old rope he got. He wanted to be elsewhere and didn't he just show it with his contemptuous transfer spending.

 

[billyblue80]

I'd get Rojo tomorrow and he could start Saturday.

Well there is plenty more time left, window closes Thursday Dave.

Enough time to sign 20 players.

Lascelles is literally exactly that though, sat deep in the middle of a low-block for the whole of last season, the Michael Keane of this year if you like. You won't prise him from Newcastle for a penny less than 40m in this market, more likely closer to 50m.
