Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[bitter-no-better]

The transfer window is only open for just over 3 weeks once the world cup has ended, but we can sell to foreign clubs til the end of August. For me priority should be getting the players in first, we can't wait around for them to sell much longer.

Don’t think we can bring in players for positions we are already overloaded in without selling first. I’m sure we are trying to offload a few even on loan to reduce the wage bill. Once players are back From holidays next week then we should see some more negotiating I would presume.

Clearly it is sell to buy. Back to where we were.

That’s business you goon.

This is a terrible strategy for recruitment.

Although I think one we should adopt in trying to shift Martina.

Im just saying that if Roma wanted him, he must have some quality. Not saying we should buy him based on that, would be a weird way to go.

Barcelona supposedly want to sell centre half Yerry Mina. 23 and looks a very good player. Scored for Colombia last night And he's 6 foot 5.
They signed him for 11 million.

If he’s not good enough for Barcelona he’s not good enough for us
Remember our motto

Has that Carillo lad from Peru been mentioned on here @ zatara

 

[BlueToff]

We're 100% signing Carillo, like.

He was the player Silva wanted to bring with him from Watford

All quiet on the transfer front.

44 days until the window closes.

44 days to go and we seem to be going with what we got, minus rooney and funes mori..

even if we do get some deals done late, the manager will only have a couple of days to put a team together, if 90% of THAT team is last years team then we are in big trouble. they simply will not be able to play as silva wants

Clearly it is sell to buy. Back to where we were.

Signing any more players until we’ve punted the absolute wasters on massive contracts, would be gross negligence.

But sound, it’s sell to buy mate yeah.

 

[Frang]

25 days between the WC ending and the transfer window "slamming" shut

If we get 4 signings in, thats 1 every 6.25 days, now wont that be fun

unlikely. and defo no fun

I don't believe it is back to sell to buy, but, it would not be the worst thing if it was.
Anytime we have money to spend we seem to make a mess of it. David Moyes recruited very well on a shoestring for several years.

I think we have a budget, but I think the signings are carefully being targeted and we are not going to sign players simply because they are available.I believe we could pay a large fee for the right player as I don't believe that Brands or Silva would have come here just to try to balance the books for Moshiri.
We are back to training next week and then I believe we will see movement in the market generally.

Carrillo was with Silva at Sporting. Got 5 goals and 15 assists in 32 appearances in Silva's one full season.

 

[Brisan123]

..my concern with Loftus-Cheek is whether he’s dynamic enough to regularly pick a game up by the scruff of the neck and make things happen. He’s talented but there’s lots of talent out there. I don’t know if he’s the type to positively influence games on a week by week basis.
Oh for a young Alan Ball or Howard Kendall.

We need winners. Players who play like the game really matters.

That’s business you goon.

It's not business in football. There is a clear correlation between money spent and success. A sell to buy approach does not bring success.

But, yeah, let's carry on pretending all is good because we have a DoF nobody had heard of 6 months ago.

This is a great post and a leading contender for the title of the “wet pants award”
