Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Coggy]

Bolasie £28m, Keane £24m, Sigurdsson £45m, lets hope this transfer window clubs don’t massively shaft us again.

Sigurdsson is a class player. We had to pay over the odds to get him. Now the guy is going to get played in his correct position he will thrive.
Compared to the other two he is a bargain.

Just brought a bit of sick up in my mouth!

No doubt there will be a little bit more when you consider Walsh probably walked away with a million or so?

I can't see a place for him in any of the formations liked by "modern" coaches.

What

 

[Andy_Oz]

looks like the average player is going for 70 mil this window (fred, alderweireld, fekir, fabinho etc..)

makes 30 mil for pickford look like a bargain

Exactly.
As ridiculous as it is everyone needs to readjust what all these values mean. Things have quite literally multiplied by 10 since Shearer went for, what, 9mil as a transfer record?!
45mil for Sigurdsson is the equivalent of 4.5mil not all that long ago...
Its all gone Monopoly money.

He played there multiple times this season and was average at best.

He can play in a 4-3-3, as the midfield or a 4-2-3-1 with ease.

I doubt theres a formation he couldnt slot into.

Agree totally. The guy lacks pace, but played correctly, with a "proper" manager / coach , he is class. Set piece delivery also great.

Great first touch, great at playing the killer pass in the final 3rd, can score from outside the box as well as anyone. Play him with Tosun, Walcott, and a proper 8 with pace and we will score plenty.

Any reasonable shouts for center half? Have no idea who we could even be looking for....

Don’t want the Manu rejects.

Issa Diop
Upamecano
De Ligt

Think he’s quality, but not so sure de Ligt makes the reasonable part my friend.
