Summer Transfer Window 2017

God no please don't sign this brozovic

Agreed. I can't see what he's brings to our side that we already have?

 

[Abraders]

Not keen on prices mentioned for Siggy either.

 

[jackyboy]

I really like Evans. Don't think we will go for him though.

Jansen from spurs when rom leaves would be worth a look imo

I literally don't care what Sigurdsson costs. Or any player for that matter.

Do they makes us better? Good, get them in. Money in football is completely broken, the days of worrying about fees and wages are long gone. Just concentrate on building a team and a squad.

Leeds, Portsmouth and countless other teams say "Hi".

I don't know if we need Gana every game. Feels like overkill sometimes having him and Morgs and the balance hasn't really worked away from home or in big games.

I think with the addition of 2 quality centre halves, hopefully ones with some pace, it lessens the need to play 2 holding players.

Wonder why we're not in for Ake. Very good young player, left sided, Dutch so a good fit with Ronald, the right age to start taking over from Williams.

Ake himself has been quoted as saying he sees himself as a CM. He's a little short for a CB, but he has looked good every time I've seen him (which is about three times). I just don't know if long term he is actually a CB or not.

Zouma would be of interest, if we're looking at young players at Chelsea....

Pre season is now just around the corner.
I think we will see quite a bit of activity generally this week.
After all , will Lukaku and Barkley really want to be back training at FF ?
Because of the Europa Cup we will want players settling in as early as possible and we know that Pickford, Holgate and Sandro won't be training for another 2-3 weeks.

I don't think it's an advocating of spending money we don't have.
In any event, Richard Scudamore ended the worries over money about 5 years ago.
So yeah, they aren't really relevant case studies any more.

When's our first game of the pre-season?

 

[Tree13]

We've had a £27m bid for Gylfi rejected apparently.

I appreciate they play different positions, but that's more than City are asking for Iheanacho. I would tell Swansea "Cheerio!" and move on.

Look at where our squad is currently weak:

Bolasie out until Christmas;
Lennon out until who knows when;
McGeady out in a week (hopefully);
Deulofeu possibly out in the near future;
Valencia returning to WHU;
Kone out on a free;
Niasse hopefully out shortly;
McAllen off to Fleetwood July 1st;
Lukaku presumably leaving;
Does anyone seriously expect anything from Tarashaj or Rodriguez?

We have Mirallas, Lookman and DCL. That's it. We need multiple players in, and quickly. Sandro is a must-have, and I'd like to see Celtic's Dembele AND Iheanacho come in as well - I'd say they are more important than Sigurdsson at this point because they all fit better in a 433 than Sigurdsson does, and I think 433 is the way we should be going.

 

[sheedys left foot]

Has anyone kept a list of the players that we've been linked with since the season ended? Must be at least 100 by now. I'm only going to get worked up about a new player when I see him on twitter signing a contract beside a suited "where's wally".
