Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[FTY]

Thankfully we wont be signing him.

Feel sorry for em when this happens

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

Gueye and Big Willy in midfield?

Is this real life?

 

[YoboCopter]

Sinclair from Celtic, come on mate you have to be aiming higher than that. Bolasie would look like Maradona in the Scottish league.

@ breden rodgers

Take note and put a bid in

Liverpool have just got to a CL final, finished top 4 and have one of the biggest managers in the game at the helm, we're not gonna be going for that calibre of player. Liverpool couldn't have until recently

We overreached 2 summers ago (Witsel, Mata, Koulibaly) and got embarrassed, so the utter fannies played it safe last summer and mostly went for players with clubs and agents we knew could work with, hence all the overpriced crap players from this league (or the manager's former club)

Hopefully having a DOF with good contacts and a slimeball of an agent will help us broaden our horizons a bit, but we still won't be competing with them lot for players

Still have to sell 10 players apparently before we sign anyone zzz... Surely we could mix it up a bit. Don´t have to get every single dud off the books before we make a move. Get Lonzano in before his value sky rockets.

I hope we are shopping at a better level than West Ham & Leicester.

They have a habit like ourselves of buying what look like exciting players and they don’t fit, long may it continue for them.

I’m being patient, as suspect it’ll take time to identify the right players to fit Marco’s system.

Don´t think we are. Could be argued they have more money than us to spend this summer.

Can people stop throwing names around of players who are in the Premier League? The value is almost non-existent.

I'm struggling a bit to see anything 'in' before the World Cup ends. Hope to be proved wrong there though.

I definitely think we'll get some in before July 15th mate.

Depends who, though.

If we do indeed go for Lozano, it won't be until after his World Cup has ended, at least.

It's not about the amount - it's about what you spend it on.

We will have enough money to get who we want, but we have to trim the squad and wage bill as well.

Any money from those sales will be put back towards transfers, which is just fine.

 

[Blues Harp]

I believe that the problems of finance this summer result from overpayment on transfer fees and over-large salaries which were sanctioned, rashly, by the board, or by Moshiri himself, in a bid to break into the top four or five clubs in the league table in a single season. (The window Moshiri spoke of.)

Walsh and Keoman made bad choices; the board, or Moshiri, made bad financial decisions. I doubt there is any way for us but slow and steady improvement, and keeping costs in check. (Got to pay for a ground, too.)

This....anyone who thinks one season is enough to repair the damage inflicted on us by the board and our last 3 managers is going to be disappointed. What happens if one of our "dead wood " players doesn't want to move and is content to stay here ?

 

[BlueToff]

For Ake see Holgate/ feeney. For cresswell> Robinson/Gibson
Wanyama>Beni
Sinclair> Lookman/Dowell

Basically I would rather give the kids ago, than waste one penny on that lot

Baningime is nothing like Wanyama.

Ey

Looks like Kamil Glik (Poland defender) is out after he tried to do a bicycle kick and crocked his shoulder

 

[Stephenlloyd]

Baningime is nothing like Wanyama.

I know that. And wanyama is a decent player, my point was that spurs would want huge money and he’s not worth it. And all the four players mentioned would be a waste of money.

You'll have a better idea than me. Just a feeling that the new management team coming in will need loads of time to settle and make their minds up on what is needed, in and out.

This could mean we miss out on a few this summer.

I thought Brands kept mentioning wanting business done by July 2? I'm pretty sure, paraphrasing him, that he said he's trying to get the squad in shape to start work as soon as those who will still be here get back.

Obviously desire and reality don't always mesh but I have faith in the new regime mostly because I'm tired of being cynical about us after last year.

I'd be happy with just one to be honest. No way we're shifting them all out.
