Summer transfer speculative hopes and dreams

Konoplyanka has said that he what's to play in england next season. I hope we still have a contract on the table for him I would hate to see such a talent go to stoke
 
Kagawa. Imagine.

Always thought he wasn't given a fair enough crack at UTD. What a statement that would be, a player that would really take us up a notch and make us top 4 contenders in my opinion.

And for those reasons, it isn't happening.

Absolutely agree. He is a great player who would step in to the number 10 role perfectly. Barkley can drop a bit deeper to what should be a more natural role for him driving at defenses.

Liverpool and Everton will find out at the end of the month whether they can step up their pursuits for Mehmet Topal.

The Fenerbahce midfielder is due to hold talks over a new contract with the Istanbul club later this week and Eurosport TR are claiming that he will be offered a five-year deal.

But, according to sources in Turkey, Liverpool and Everton will be ready to pounce should Topal's talks with Fenerbahce stall, while Manchester City and Tottenham have also expressed an interest in the 29-year-old.

Nicknamed the 'Spiderman', Topal made 33 appearances for Fenerbahce last term, helping them to a second-placed finish in the Super Lig.

We've been linked to him in the past

Imagine if we bought another defensive midfielder
 
Still think we could be the shock destination for Firmino, remember the papers reporting we sent scouts out to watch him last season after it was clear Deloufeu was going back to Barca, obviously we couldn't have gone for him that summer with Lukaku being our main target.
 

Yeah, that and it being Talksport are why I put it in the speculation thread.

Some coaches do seem to have weird fondnesses/aversions for certain roles though - Wenger loves his attacking midfielders and Ferguson seemed to stop buying cm's about 5 years before he retired.
Bobby was a DM, probably why he thinks that all the worlds problems can be solved by adding more DMs.

Sadly I think he's out of our reach now. It'll be a CL club that's in for him.
 
Agree his former role probably plays a big part in that.

Never quite understood where Moyes got his fondness for buying young goalkeepers that we'd never see again.
I suppose they are a very specialist position and cheap. Perhaps he was just cycling through them all to find a good one?
plus they will keep moving around until the can find first team football somewhere, not going to stick around long if the are 3/4 choice especially when Keepers tend not to get dropped for being terrible.

Chelsea don't need him neither do arsenal, Utd need 1-2 strikers, a CDM and 1-2 defenders on top of the £25 mil they have already spent on Depay, I can't see them buying a CAM when they have Mata and Felli who can play there, only City could possibly go in for him and that's if they only miss out on Pogba imo, as they will be spending about £90 mil on him and sterling alone. Can also see them going for Wilshere or Chamberlin to fill the English quota

Well I'd love it to be us, I've wanted him for over a year. I just really don't think it will be.
