Summer 2018 Transfer Window

Status
Not open for further replies.
Sorry Zat, but I and a few others were bang on this summer. We could tell Tosun and DCL were not up to the job here. We needed another type of striker in.

It was just as big a problem as LB and CB.

We have a player like Digne who is a superb crosser of the ball who has only really Richarlison to get into the box to aim for...and he's supposed to play just ahead of him! Also Sigurdsson is wasted on the one thing he can do right: swing crosses in.
We also need a whole new midfield, as Zat says, we cant buy a whole team in 1 window.
...midfield had Gomes and Bernard added to it.

Two rubbish attackers we started out with in the summer transfer window - the two we went into the season with.


I think it depends on priorities...

I'm sorry Dave but if youre telling me that CF was "just as big a problem as LB and CB", that simply wouldnt be true.

I think we can both agree that given the choice of Baines/ Robinson at LB this season OR seeing Digne (who impresses you) then you would choose Digne if the sacrifice was Tosun/DCL rotating.

Secondly, it's interesting that we signed Bernard who primarily plays on the left, yet we had Richarlison. Brazil play Richarlison up top, perhaps we will also...which may have been the plan in summer. This negates your complaint about a forward...Brazils number 9 should be good enough.

I'm going to stick to my guns and say Pickford, Mina, Digne, Bernard, Richarlison and Onyekuru are the only (over 21) players who will be safe next summer...

If Richarlison cuts the mustard up top till January then id hope we begin culling the centre of midfield and replacing them with more top additions.

This summer was meant to get the wage bill down? Was it? Says who? Have you just made that up?

WE've had a decade of service out of Baines and Jagielka lol. It's like me saying Carragher and Gerrard left on frees you big daft sod.

Walcott will probably sign a new contract.

We did very well to get what we got for Klassen and Rooney was signed on a free anyway.
McCarthy will sign a new contract for us if he's worth it.
Zouma and Gomes will be heading back? How do you know that for certain? Stop making things up!
Gueye can leave now, not bad for £8m so can't complain but he's holding us back. He's no Emre Can.
Schneiderling, lost patience with him as well tbh. Good player but there's something holdinh him back. Frustrating really.
Coleman cost 60 grand and will be with us for pretty much his entire career! What an player to choose.

Not sure even what it was that that post was supposed to achieve but I don't think you've been successful. Just like Klopp.

Usmanov has already given us tens of millions in sponsorship, he's already here.
Stadium plans are gathering pace.
Big players coming back on a daily basis, Mina, Digne, Gomes, Bernard, RIcharlison....watch us fly.

how can walcott get a new contract, he is a pace player and as we know pace players peak at 27.
his original contract runs out in 2022 by which time he will be 32 and you say he will get another contract to stay here even longer

Well he cost half the price of Fabinho so we got a bit of a bargain anyway. How much was he again? £40m? Ouch! Keita was even more wasn't he? OOft!
 
You were asked to explain why Walcott a pace player will still be pace player when he is 32, when everyone in the football world (i.e. Just you) knows that pace players deteriorate after 27. You know its all hypocritical nonsense so choose to change the subject. Its all great stuff though.

Somebody needs to tell CR7 that hes not allowed to have pace anymore.
