Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[toffeejack]

BBC reporting William Carvalho one of 7 Lisbon players to have now cancelled their own contracts. Probably pick up pace fairly shortly if we are after him.

I think we've got to take a gamble here and not wait to sell players first if we want a couple of these like dost and carvalho. Just got to risk that we will eventually sell some players and go straight in for these now.

Think dost would be a great option for free.

No harm in it. Like Chelsea buying Barkley. We’d always get more for them in the market than we paid, regardless of how they fit.

Problem is (I guess) if they are freebies they’ll expect huge wedge due to saved transfer cost. As we know, if they’re then crap they can’t be shifted due to the wage and subsequently become very expensive and affect FFP etc

West Ham beating us soundly at the transfer rumours. Feels like everyone is on holiday at our place.

Not going to lie I’d quite like us to do something soon.

like the season we’ve had - waiting for a shot on target.

Patience people, rumours mean nothing. We’ll add, it’s going to take time. x

Exactly, I understand we need to trim and we probably are wary about buying before we sell because that's on par with selling your top 20 goal scorer without having a replacement line up... Hmm.

But I think we need to take gambles now when such transfers are possible. Yeah we may get none of them, but we'll sell players eventually.

Definitely, but we'd still be able to shift those players on for about £20m plus so the gain we'd make in that would make up flies such a scenario. Every transfer is a risk tbf.

..believe it or not, I handed my Blackberry in when I retired 2 years ago and haven’t owned a mobile phone since. I do GOT via an I-pad which will be stowed away in the luggage.

To be honest mate, World Cup scouting after just one game is a bit embarrassing

They didn't come off the bench

@Pabbers just knows his footy. They are good. I believe Aleksey is the one who is slightly further ahead in his development.
