Summer 2018 Transfer Window

..is Gomes a bit of a controversial character? He’s a great size and clearly very effective.

Just think he struggled with the pressure at Barca mate

 

[Big Fat Sam]

We'd have to throw much more than £30m I think mate

They're in the Prem and even if they go down have no need to recoup the money because they'll have parachute payments

He'll likely stay there next season and move on in 2019

You're right, but it'd be mint wouldn't it?

An actual footballer for the same price as a Bolasie or a Keane.

 

[blulouie]

Can't we just throw 30m at Fulham for Sessegnon ffs. He'll be a superstar. Potential to be as good as Bale. Dangle the dough and see if they bite. Could sort out left back position for over the next decade.

TBF though they'd probably not sell for less than double that, which is fair enough when you see what other English players go for, namely Michael Keane for 30m who isn't even a footballer.

He's not a left back mate.

 

[Lord Buckethead]

Got a man that can do the lot

View attachment 46930

Correct.
...and apparently whenever he wildly balloons it into the crowd, he is suffering from concussion so it isn't his fault he misses.

 

[Ameen]

We should sign Rico Henry from Brentford. Wouldn't cost more than 10 million

 

[Kinky Koeman]

Any links to Mino Raiola players?

Recall he and Marcel had a decent relationship.

 

[navidson]

Was Lascelles a £30m defender when they signed him from Forest?

Do we have a scouting network?

After setting up the goal to get Fulham promotion, it'll be upwards of £30mill.

And he's a winger mostly. Played fullback to cover a position for a chunck of games I think.

I don't think wed have a chance to sign him...but I think we're alright with Lookman who's probably on par with him.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Wouldn't mind that James Maddison tbh

 

[BlueToff]

We had to pay a fine for trying to tap Lascelles up while he was at Forest mate

So yes, we do

 

[Connor]

Not good enough for center mid that C, need a proper ball player

Aye, I wouldn’t mind replacing Gueye with a better all-round player but especially someone whose a better passer.

Willy C - Gueye replacement
Lookman/New winger - Gylfi - Walcott
Tosun/Niasse/New ST

Lookman ain't anywhere near Sessegnon, although he is decent himself and should be around our first team next season.

Imagine Sessegnon... ability to play anywhere down the left. Immense. Alas he'll end up at United or City.

Maybe we should use that scouting network to identify a different one season wonder that costs less than £30m (or £25m in the case of Michael Keane)

 

[SiEdmo]

10 outs seems easy, doubt any other clubs in the Prem have this problem, last one’s I can think of was Aston Villa or Spurs before they sorted themselves out.

We let ourselves go, badly.

yeah its a pity sunderland have gone they could have done another deal where they take like 3 players in one go haha

in fact they did that with spurs too as well as us didn't they, no wonder they are in league one, what the hell is wrong with them

No mate, but also he's taken about 4-5 seasons of regular play including up and down the divisions to get to that level of development he's considered as such.

We had the version of his first two seasons at Newcastle he'd be about fifth choice for us and wouldn't get a game.

Teams with aspirations can't blood young players for three years till they develop enough, just look at half our fans on Davies etc already.
