Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Stephen Gibson]

Not giving you that one. I class him as a midfielder. You get Neymar as Barca play with three out and out strikers.

Ok so I did a quick view of the big websites & I will withdraw my Rodriguez statement. The majority agree with you. I was winning, somehow I still lost... Wasn't even my thing to argue!!!! Stupid brain.

 

[mccole]

With our new signings, I think we could move to 3 at the back with Coleman out and Baines getting on, so Williams, Keane and Jagelka/Holgate/Galloway OR another central defender with Van Dijk, Manolas and Koulibaly linked in the past.

 

[gonetomorrow]

i'd rather keep lukaku than spend £60m on that carthorse (i've never actually watched him play properly, i just don't vindicate paying that sort of fee for a centre back who, well hasn't really done an amazing amount in his career yet). I'd be all for spending that on a striker who could replace rom's 25 goals because i think that's a brilliant ROI. I just don't see how van dijk can be worth 25 goals a season.

Correct.
Every defence bar possibly Chelsea and Spurs was vulnerable as hell last season. Southampton's certainly was. So paying that kind of money for their main man sounds insane to me. We'd be as well with what we've got at the back plus maybe Keane and spend big cash on a top striker.

get through this season with what we have, jagielka will want off next summer, williams may possibly need replacing also, but our stock will be a lot higher you'd think. Someone really top drawer like koulibaly who is a lot more proven imo may actually be gettable for a similar sort of fee.

The best part is I genuinely don't care who leaves now.

Something is happening here, and anybody who doesn't want to be a part of it is best to get out of the way of it.

they only thing i don't like about 5/3 at the back is that it negates pretty much all of the wide players we have. You would either have to play a striker alongside rom, okay, with sandro that could work well, or you would have to have a great playmaker ... we don't have any of them.

With that formation it renders bolasie, deulofeu, mirallas, lookman, lennon all useless and possibly to an extent ross. We only have 2 strikers now as it is as well, where if we're going to play 2, you would need 4 or 5 good ones. I suppose it's a decent option for some games, but well, with coleman missing the first few months and the season and baines not really the energy he once was bombing up and down the wing, there's also issues there with wing backs. I think it'd help accommodate kenny better whilst he starts off, but it is a formation which may have been better for us 3/4 years ago as opposed to now.

[jonnyboy316]

honestly no idea how it'll plan out. I myself, still wouldn't sell lukaku. But yeah, if we sell him as well as those who you mention, it's hard to net spend massively, if we keep him though we can still offload about £45m worth in sales, which is great seeing as we're not selling anyone who had any impact whatsoever on last season.

I would love to keep Rom but I am pretty sure there is a deal already in place hence our spending spree

 

[Deco]

Pickford £25m
Klaassen £23m
Keane £25m
Sandro £5m
Giroud £20m

= £98m

Lukaku

= £100m

Net spend -£2m

Senor Gerald has left the stadium.

 

[Goat]

Like a new signing.

yeah i know ... well, i don't know if it's been finalised or not tbh, but yeah, ummm makes henry onyekuru useless.

 

[Deco]

On a serious note assuming the above is the bulk of our business, and that we either keep Ross or he leaves and we buy someone like Gylfi, that's top business.

As a squad we'd be improved all round - you could even argue Giroud being a better fit for Lukaku with his general play.

Pickford £25m
Klaassen £23m
Keane £25m

Erm, Henry cost 7-8m mert.

I've never actually watched him. Just drop your phone in the bog lad
