Summer Transfer Window 2017

[rochdaleblue]

We only have about 30m left lads so No chance we're getting another 4 players

Have you factored in the sale of lukaku into this? That is what I and others have done. The whole landscape changes if the asking price is not met for Rom, I can see us bringing in just one other forward, if he stays another season.

Just swerve anyone from Scotland please ffs. Il gladly let another club buy someone and say oh we should of I e vvd but let the other club take the chance the Scottish league is a joke to football.

Who heck is Sander Berge?!

Stamford bridge? lol

 

[Lord Buckethead]

Bill Minion!
Get this kid signed, he's good for it.

 

[admirschleck]

It just keeps on getting better and better every day. I love that we are finally in for some world class youngsters rather than 35 year olds.

Sound. Are you on the board? If not what are next week's lottery numbers?

Batshuyai or Giroud for me if we need to replace Lukaku. Likes of Dolberg, Iheanacho, Dembele, etc. should be brought in as competition but would be too big a gamble to be first choice if we want to push for top 4.

YES. We've already got half the england u21, a few in the 23's. Get Girouds hair IN.

 

[when i score we riot]

Wait, which world class youngsters? Surely there is no chance we're signing someone like Dolberg this early.

Nah, if you sign a player of that potential (and already a very good quality) he plays in his proper position.

But we don't have to worry about it. He's not coming here, this summer, at least

Get Sandro in, and he's a player that fills two roles (wide forward and central). Kev is then a rotation option for the wide forward role.

Presuming Lukaku goes, we still need a player who can act as our target man (links to Jorgensen, Willian Jose etc) and then a player who is more of a poacher to rotate as well.

That is basing it on the Koeman template that me and @MorgsGoat like to use that his front three (in either a 4-3-3, a variant thereof, or a 3-4-3) contains a 'focal point' and then a player who has pace to burn on one flank and a bit of creativity on the other (ideally, this will be Barkley. If he goes, probably Sigurdsson). We then obviously have Bolasie to consider when he comes back into the fold, while Lookman and DCL will also get plenty of minutes.

I'm not 100% sure we won't come after Dolberg mate, the uncertainty at Ajax with the manager and then Captain both leaving, rumours of power struggles inside the club, Dolberg himself trying to extricate himself from his current agent to sign onto a big Dutch agency, if we went after him it would be interesting - and right at this minute it looks like Koemans comments about wanting to sign predominantly 26-28yo players was an absolute red herring to throw the media off are actual targets.

Wouldn't sya it was likely, but compared to a few weeks ago it has possibilities right now if we did want him

Vardy would be the choice i'd make alongside Dolberg IF Lukaku did move, Dolberg capable of leading the line in the home games with Vardy one of the wide forward spots with sandro the other side, away from home yuse Vardy on the break - with Pickfords distribution he'd be absolutely lethal

Love playing fantasy footy manager lol

Best mates a celtic fan, and he says he would be cockahoop if they got 30 million for Dembele, he rates Griffiths more.

Being the ever so sensible guy though, i don't rate every opinion my mate has as gospel (he likes Rod Stewert FFS), and has an over inflated opinion on how good celtic actually are.

When i have seen him play he looks a good centre forward, and a lot more aware of how to bring other players into play then he gets credit for.

Id be made up if we signed him

Realisticly though, i think the lad has a sensible head on his shoulders, he went to celtic to get game time and to improve his game, i can see him wanting to stay there for maybe another year or so to prepare himself for a big move

 

[bluestevon]

Absolutely. Though I'm not sure we could get Dolberg yet. Id happily have Iheanacho and Dembele in though, ideally with Batshuyai as part of the swap!

Simple fact is that Dutch teams will sell any of their players if the bid is enough mate

I'm saying we are already spending the Lukaku money

Around 80m

 

[Ernie]

We will stop spending at the 80-90m mark

Lukaku's transfer fee

and judging by how happy they are to wish Klassen good luck, they are more than happy to see there players move on to a different league

Got to factor in Dembelé's age. Very rare for a striker in any league at his age to be scoring at that rate.
