Summer Transfer Window 2017

[mightymoyes]

Well we all knew Rooney was going to join us really.
I would have expected a more physical striker than rooney or sandro though if Rom is leaving.

thats giroud

 

[Hangleton]

Ron knows we need to buy in some top level experience. Of course the players we can attract are getting on a bit, but if they can help to bring through the young talent we are stocking up on - then they are more than worth it.

 

[mightymoyes]

Get Wazza on koeman you fat headed git!!!

off will be the shout but with more industrial language

 

[Gardocki]

Jim White at it again, saying on talksport we are trying to get a big signing over the line.

In some ways Neymar. Welcome home.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Of course you are correct but , for me there are a number of factors ( by no means conclusive !) pointing to this deal being done;
1. the lack of noise coming from Lukaku and / or his agent
2. the indication that Costa may be going back to Atletico and is content not to play for 6 months
3. the lack of rumours linking Chelsea with another striker
4. the amount of money that we have spent to date.

I suspect that if this deal was not advanced and / or done that Conte would be making public statements to put more pressure on the Chelsea hierarchy .

All very good points but it's not a done deal as there been no bid.. if there had been it would be major news.

2nd we won't be spending the Lukaku money as if we were we now spent 85 mil spent and we only have 1 striker, well 2 with DCL an only 10-15 mil left.

3rd Chelsea have been linked with a few strikers

4th Lukaku is not a Conte style of player

5th and final Chelsea won't pay 100 mil for him and we won't sell for less

 

[Wat Tyler]

Why would we sign a player on the decline who will be our top earner? Makes no sense at all.

Steer well clear and let him play out the rest of his fading days in the MLS or some other rubbish league.

I agree, but Koeman is on record as saying he would like to sign him. Would be a big mistake imo

They will announce him when he is back from his holiday.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Koeman likes to play with a target man, aka Pelle. Giroud would have the same role in some games, except much better.

I personally think Lukaku will flop at Chelsea, he's too lazy to flourish in their style. If he uses his head instead of his heart, he'd be better off at Utd imo.

Side note, until this summer window, I admit I've seen very little of either player, but from YouTube videos, I am failing to see the hype about Lacazette. Is he actually that good? He didn't seem too different, quality-wise to Sandro really. Or did we just get THAT good a deal?

A Madrid want Sandro badly and they are the 4th best team in Europe, so he must be decent. We were very lucky, if it wasn't for A Madrids ban he would be signing for them

 

[MrGrumpy]

Yep, big pat on the back for Kenwright and Elstone this transfer window.

There both tide up in the boiler room at Goodison, well out the ways of transfers, otherwise we still have only offered 2.5 mil for Sandro

 

[MrGrumpy]

They will announce him when he is back from his holiday.

Got to bid for him 1st and they haven't. They would have announced him on sat with there new kit as he be a world record signing. It's a far from done deal

If we get Rooney, Sandro and Giroud that'd be pretty cool.

 

[kenada_blue]

Soz

Welcome home Wazza

 

[Nymzee]

I trust Koeman on Rooney.

 

[bluestevon]

Cmon Jim baby!
Been saying this for months. Just what we need.

Myers tweeted today the same and all but said it was Rooney mate.

 

[Smig1878]

I can't wait for Rooney to come back and lead this squad.....oh happy happy days!!!!
