Summer transfer speculative hopes and dreams

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Mertens for £10m would be an absolute steal. More Belgians can only be a good thing.

Shaqiri keeps popping up. Wish there was some truth to it. Was impressed with him when he was at Basel. Huge threat and great shot. If Everton signed him the expectations for this season would instantly go higher. Make it happen Roberto, use your charm!

That would be a terrible deal

He did but he hasn't actually signed permanently for Inter. He was on a 6 month loan from Bayern so technically if Inter don't want him then it's not his choice.

sounds horribly realistic actually.

Every player I've nominated in this thread appears to now be on Spurs' radar. There scouting programme appears to be limited to reading GOT FFS!

15m and Januzaj on a perm maybe.

 

[deipnosophist]

Anybody else hearing the rumour ,Coleman to Utd for 15mio plus Januzai (on loan with an option to buy?). It's appeared in some credible forum threads.

perhaps if you nominated Kone and McGeady as vital players for us next season?

Mate I love your enthusiasm and we all wish what you were saying was true... but sadly we're not.

Howard's done. 2013/14 should have been his last yr. Even at his very best he doesn't come close to Cech, Hart, DeGea or the kid at Chelsea. Not even close!

As for the rest of the squad, I'm sure Martinez would love to show the old guard the door. Howard, Hibbert, Barry, Osman, Pienaar, Kone etc... should have all been long gone. He simply hasn't got the money to make the changes he wants and hence I come back to my original point about McGeady.

Martinez has been chasing him for yrs. He tried desperately to sign him at Wigan and rates him highly. He's going nowhere.

There's no indication at all Martinez has any intention of showing the old guard the door. In fact the complete opposite. He knows that you need to faze those players out over a few seasons not replace them entirely.

Plus all those players can do a job if needed. I wouldn't want to rely on them for any amount of time but if one or two come into the team at a time then there's no issue.

I think our first team is better than what people think. We weren't great last season but the younger players are now a year older and Cleverly and Deulofeu are very good additions. Someone like Shaqiri and a good premier league defender like Dann along with no European football with give us an outside chance of the top 4. With the exception of Chelsea and Arsenal all teams in the league have their weaknesses although the window hasn't even opened nevermind closed so who knows what all the teams will look like.
