Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Ernie]

We will be fighting the likes of WBA and West Ham for players whilst the top 4 bring in proven quality

 

[JLW]

Some people aren't happy unless the potential new signing isn't English.

Vardy?

 

[navidson]

Robertson and Siggurdson, any other relegation scrappers you want to bring in? So United cast offs aren't good enough but we'll gladly shop from the bottom 3 of the table.

Sigurdsson has the most assists in the league this season (11) - He's exactly the sort of player we should be going for, attainable and improves us

And? Its always been like that

 

[Groucho]

Sorry just to be clear, I'm not sure I'd want Shaw either.

 

[Pienaar'sdisciple]

No, no, maybe, no.

We need that level of quality if we're serious about breaking into the top of the English game.

Have mercy on the physios.

We need to take risks. with that attitude, Sir Alex wouldn't have bought RVP and his last season would've been very different.

jack wilshere, the man who currently can't get in a dire bournemouth central midfield, you think we should buy him? Given our options?

One of those strange scenarios where the manager loses the plot. Head over to the Bournemouth forum, and you'll notice that they all rate him as their best player. Our options are one dimensional. Lots of centre mids, not enough creative mids with extremely high levels of technical ability so that against teams like pool, we don't need to sit back and take it and can actually do something with the ball.

Luke Shaw, Jesus Christ.

Both LVG and Jose have publicly had pops at him, massively overhyped English player. He'll fit in nicely with Pickford, another one that people seem to get hard over

Yet Pochettino, someone who works his players harder than both those managers seemed to love the lad.

2 of them are completely injury prone (Sturridge-Wilshire) one is error prone (Hart) and Shaw who i like when i have seen him play obviously has an attitude/fitness problem..

 

[mightymoyes]

He's had one decent season, And now we are willing to stump up 25m for him

It's like those lot over the park when they lash 20m+ on lower end players who are the flavor of the month

you mean like mane, lallana and clyne? wish we had lower end players like that in our squad

 

[davek]

I think Hull paid about £5M for hm?

Bargain. Now he'll possibly fetch as much as £15M.

Edit: £2.8M.

Nice.

Like when we went up against west brom for lukaku and morgs?

 

[Deco]

Think it was as low at even £2.5-3m which seemed brilliant business even back then.

They apparently accepted £10m from Burnley in January but it didn't go through, so £12-15m is probably realistic for him.

With fees the way they are I would be all over that.

 

[maccavennie]

He is ok like, just not good enough for Spurs.

one persons rubbish is another man's treasure though Pabbers! In fairness to him he has Kyle Walker to get past who they love down there.

Not that he will have it easier up here once our Seamus is back!!

Let's give Kenny a run first imo and see if he can be the one to really give Seamus competition

Was this prior to him breaking his leg and struggling to regain his general fitness, along getting to grip with his weight issue

A fully fit and firing Wilshere puts in performances against Brazil, Bayern and Barcelona's of this world that none of our players are capable of. Heck, only this season he put on a great display vs the champions elect. We all know what Sturridge is capable of, and he'd suit our team more than Pool cause we don't press and work hard like they do. I'm not saying there's no risk associated with these signings but we need to take risks or accept mediocrity cause otherwise, we aren't going to be catching up anytime soon. Hart might be a bit error prone, but he's a level above any keeper we've had at the club in a long time. As I've said, Shaw didn't seem to have those issues under Pochettino.
