Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[SerenityNigh]

...my fear is a possible lack of dynamism. He doesn’t seem the type who grabs a game by the scruff of the neck, who dominates. He’s big and powerful, he’s talented but I just wonder about his application. Palace were in a relegation battle and I noticed he was substitute for a few games. There might be other reasons for that, but we really need somebody who plays like the game matters.

There’s lots of talent out there, we need attitude as well. If Loftus-Cheek has both, then fine but i’m not convinced.

Another Barkley then?

 

[SerenityNigh]

Dunno. Made the figure up for effect didn't I?

Yanks like annual figures, so $20,000,000 in wages please

...I pretty much gave up on Barkley after very poor displays in Derby matches. We need players who get a grip on such games (dare I say the way Gerrard did). I don’t know enough about Loftus-Cheek but I just have doubts he’s that type.

...29 year old who went on a free in January. I wouldn’t be too disappointed if they got him.

It's standard practice that players on frees generally go for higher wages because normally there will be a few clubs in for them and also they there agents think the club is getting a good deal and so asks for more. Pretty sure everyone is aware of this to be fair.

I guess my point was that what you save on transfer, you pay for on wages etc. to the player so frees probably work out similar to transfers - except you are likely getting a player that (previous) club isn't that bothered about - or they messed up.

ive honestly watched about 3 games in total like, dipped in and out of it.

was too hot after work yesterday to watch anything so i watched place under the sun in bed with the curtains closed and a fan on instead

I watched the cricket ha

He's powerful mate. Strong too. Won't get bullied, but still gifted with agility

A good box to box midfielder. Would work great in the midfield paired up with a defensive player like Gana. They'd complement each other really well. Young with a good upside

Like I said, he shouldn't hurt Dowell but he might prove an issue for Davies

Depends on how much you like/rate Davies on that point I guess. I personally like Davies but I think RLC is better, and the team comes first sadly

@ijjysmith anything you'd like to add?

Can't disagree with any of this but sadly we won't buy him

 

[toffeejack]

I swear in the past 3 or 4 days I’ve seen 3 championship players I’ve never heard of move clubs for £10m+. The fees in this window already

And people think about £7m for mori is good.

 

[ijjysmith]

And people think about £7m for mori is good.

We got £9m plus bits.

Not too bothered about Mori’s fee, he’s no better than he was when we bought him, just 2-3 years older and having had a pretty bad knee injury. Getting back what we paid is fair I reckon.

 

[Goat]

I find it laughable that RLC is currently being sought like a young Zidane.

LAUGHABLE

Decent prospect for sure, I also suspect most people have probably only seen pictures of him.

Happens every year, people fall in love with a name and not actual talent.
