Summer 2018 Transfer Window

"However, they also needed a striker, a midfielder and a pair of centre-backs, and it took a late scramble to find two of those four players. "

We got three of those players, ffs.



Boring. Better writers out there getting paid nothing or still grafting in Uni. I edit a few who will go on to do the business if given the chance.

They actually fact check too.

It's a tough old gig, mate.

I fact check better on my GOT replies than some of these journos do.

He used to be an editor at FourFourTwo and left to go freelance.

And it grates me, because he's a crap writer, as many of them are for these websites, churning out the same old tosh, yet they've all got their cushty ins and that restricts opportunities for others.

@Connor knows the pain

Let's be clear. He's not a journalist. Read through his articles. Almost every one is titled "ranked... Blah blah blah."

He's nothing but a click baiting, sheep botherer.

Yeah but that's also partly because you're a massive nerd

Well, he's written for one of the biggest sport magazines, in a senior role, so he kind of is, unfortunately.

You should see my Warhammer collection.

Sam allardyce has managed us and england... Doesn't mean he should be respected no matter how much his greasy friends in the media big him up.

Yeh but... he is a football manager, by definition

Window closes in two weeks. We've just seen about 11 through the door and more to come. They dont go for free many of them. We get money off them going. In short: the net spend figure cant be gauged yet. It most certainly WONT be £65M though. You can guarantee that.

I can see this net spend coming right down in the next few days. As predicted.

I reckon we'll see, conservatively, £30M for the sale of Niasse and Lookman with maybe our money back on Besic this summer rather than a loan to buy. Total: £35M. Bolassie's sale would be next summer after his loan I think.

So by the weekend I'd expect the net spend to be circa £30M-£35M - maybe less.

Why don't we instead hold on to Bolasie and Besic, even though they'll never play, and then give Barca an extra £20m for Mina and Digne?

#netspend!

Remember when we gave Palace £28m for Bolasie? That was great for the net spend....

I may no value judgement. I'm stating that the widely held belief on here by people like @MarcelsGoat that we'd have a large net spend will not be borne out.

Where is this Niasse being sold chat come from?

..possibly, but I very much doubt it’s a requirement. If we were in a rush to sell Lookman, then we’d have sold him. I’ve only been aware of loan bids for Niasse, but i’m not sure if Silva is keen to show him the door.

I recall earlier in the window when some posters said we had to sell to buy.
