Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[Zatara]

@BlueToff

Torreira and Loftus-Cheek.

I think Carvalho is lazy journalism. Ozkayup possibly and Lozano the most desired...no concrete links on any yet. Bit of a risky gamble.

I think Caravlho is a big yes, is he not similar to Dacoure in position and a type that Silva uses?

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

We defo need strikers. And defenders. And some midfielders. Couple of wingers would be nice.

 

[Caolam]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if we did put the feelers out for the boy William, Zat

He'd be a good addition I reckon

Don't rate William didn't like The Black Eyed Peas. Just say no.

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

I see he had to have a say on todays appointment

He's a Chairman and we've just appointed a new Coach. Of course he had a say. He's nothing at the club now though, just there to cheer and clap and wave.

Imagine the scenes.

Why can’t we find some sort of dodgy deal like that one that allowed West Ham to sign tevez and mascherano

Bernat is a shout. I could see that happening.

Hope so. Great attacking left back

Doesn't matter how much money we have, some players just will not come to us (Boateng).

 

[BlueToff]

He looked amazing a few years ago and doesnt seem to have changed much...reached his peak?

Issue with him is his turning speed...hes not got the pace and, as weve seen with Klaassen and Keane that is a worry.

Barry was 'ok' (im not a fan) and he was similarly one paced...so may be ok.

But i want better than ok...if we went with 2 centre midfielders out of Davies, Baningime, Gana + Torreira (linked) id prefer another player similar to Torreira in age and potential (who doesnt mess around)

Perhaps the French 21 year old who was linked...thats a good mix.

Think he's just settled at a level but that level is actually good.

The pace thing. Yeh, he isn't quick, but unlike Klaassen he has the strength and power to just brush people off. And when he needs to shift it, he can.

You put him next to a player like Gueye (against the best sides) and there'd be no getting through. Put him next to a more attack-minded, deep-lying playmaker or box-to-box midfielder, and it's equally good.

We'll see. Ideally we could do with somebody who has a mix of everything like.

Doesn't matter how much money we have, some players just will not come to us (Boateng).

If we lobbed £150k a week at him, maybe.

But yeh, it would be doubtful.

It's not out of the realms of possibility though, if you get me. Bayern won't sell for a *massive* fee.

But, I just get the feeling it'll be Juve. Possibly Arsenal or PSG.

..report today that the Hoffenheim Centre Back had turned us down, preferring to stay at the German club.

 

[BlueToff]

@BlueToff

Torreira and Loftus-Cheek.

It'd be a start.

But I think there's four signings that are the priority, regardless of outgoings

1 CM
1 CB
1 LB
1 FWD (striker/winger versatile player imo)

Get those four in as a basis, and then everything on top of that is a bonus.

 

[ijjysmith]

The hunger games.

Hahahahaha YES

Kevin Vogt? Great player, only suggested him last week!
