Summer Transfer Window 2017

orly · June 5, 2017

Good afternoon Frandelinos

Today marks the end of the second week of data gathering for the Weasel Index.

If you are uncertain what the Index is, please see here https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/summer-transfer-window-2017.94428/page-846#post-5473408

A really excellent spread of weaseling this week. Clearly with the good recent weather and fertile ground of Everton not doing the signings, we are seeing many good examples of the species making their first moves of the summer
Remarkably (having essentially rigged it) @Raino85 has been surpassed as the top Weasel.
The window is now technically open - well, it might be, I don't actually know - I would expect there to be a good surge this week

As ever, I would like to thank the excellent Weasel Hunters for their work. This isn't Tory Fox Hunting, this is humane, controlled tracking and we are all better for it.

If you have any complaints about the Weasel Index, please leave them here

Bolasie - Bolaise.

Bilyaletdinov, Fellaini, Heitinga, Mirallas, Pienaar, Calvert-Lewin... The list could go on forever, like.

I hate to make our competitors BETTER, but in this instance, is Rom really an improvement over what they have? I also think if they tried to play Rom with Costa it would be a mess.

I wouldn't class them as direct competition right now to be honest though mate, and if they don't sign Rom they will probably look at either Morata or just stick with Costa and there isn't a great deal between the three. If we demand a world record fee for Rom I can't see them paying it this season - which is good for us as we keep a great goalscorer for another year. Although I agree that a Lukaku + Costa partnership would be useless!

Yeh I was just showing the "we should be able to compete with Spurs/RS, we've spent hardly anything" comment was asinine.

I agree mate. Hopefully we spend bigger this summer

Have to agree, @orly . Nymfrand was just poking fun at someone.

Soap · June 5, 2017

Got a feeling this will be a loooong summer window.

Only club that have done business is Man City I think.

Whilst this is hilarious, you have far, far too much time on your hands mate.

Outstanding work, @orly. Keep fighting the good fight and keep these weasels off our streets.

The average age of our squad will be like 20 next season if we keep going after the younglings.
