Summer Transfer Window 2017

So it looks like Schmeichael over pickford - not sure on that one.
Michael Keane could be the first deal done - happy days.
Rooneys return is a possibility - again im happy.

So if we can get Gylfi too then that is four quality players in, with about 10 possibly leaving.
The big question is this, what if we bring in them four then rom leaves ? Do we buy a decent forward to challenge Rom, only for him to leave meaning we need another big striker late in the window ?
Them 4 would be great. All very decent players with a lot of experience in the prem. I think this is what Koeman is looking for rather than some risky signing from abroad.
 
I disagree, I thought we've not took shiz off anyone as highlighted by some acts of snidery and referee harassment in the last two games.

True for the last couple of games possibly but prior to that and before the signing of Schneiderlin we were a soft touch: never complained to the ref, never acted snide. I hope we have turned the corner in that respect.
 

It's a nice problem to have of which the answer is probably already sorted. I want to keep Lukaku by all means, but who's to say his replacement won't get 20 a season?

Although not literally, Lukaku leaving means that we would have money to reinvest in the squad, it reminds me of the rooney/bent transfer, we strengthened other areas of the squad to improve the team.

Now of course if we sell Romelu, then a £750k forward would not be good enough. If we spent £30-£40m of the fee on another forward, then then say £20m on a backup, with the remainder on a future prospect in the squad or cover for Sheamus/Bainesy, then I feel we would accelerate our climb to the top 5.
 
We need: GK, CB, CB, ST, ST - then arguably cover for RB, LB and CAM. Gonna be a lot of money :(...That's if Koeman is happy with Mirallas/Lookman/Bolasie & potentially Deulofeu as the wingers...

No we dont, we need quality! Martinez went with the cover for every position approach and we ended up with so much dirge in the squad ronnie has done great to replacement. 2 or 3 top quality signings that improve the 1st team like we did with Schneiderlin in the summer and maybe a top prospect centre forward and the RB. LB cover etc can be down to the likes of Holgate, Kenny, Connolly, Walsh, Dowell, Williams etc
 
All clubs have to sell players
Even the really rich ones

Yup some clubs just do it better.
Chelsea for example have tapped int ot he china market and got huge money for Oscar (a player they didnt want), and will get top top dollor for Costa, more than anyone in europe will pay
 

He didnt look so mentally strong when Leicester were getting battered week in week out this season.

If Joel didn't play for us and we saw him as often as we do Schmeichel we would probably think he was a good option too.

I get trying to improve on Robles if possible but it has got to be worth it and I really don't think Schmeichel is. He is a fine keeper but so is Robles.

Robles is a horrible keeper, not ability wise, just concedes weird goals like origi or mane vs Liverpool, just watched them like he had a brain fart. Yet against united I thought he was superb !

Definitely need to invest in a top keeper, look at the Lloris/Friedel situation. Really good move from Spurs.

Friedel was about 50 at the time too to be fair.

Yann Sommer or I am not interested.
 
Careful now. His own words: "Don't take both of these as gospel as there is plenty of time to mess them up"


I love that comment from the ITK's. Don't take this as gospel cos i am pretty much just using percentage guesses here so if i am wrong you will still think i'm well ITK
 
Hahahaha not true at all. I love Ronk and Sir Farhad.

Don't have anything against Schmeichel, he's just not very good.

Beg to differ like but footy is all about opinions.

Personally reckon he's in the top five keepers in the league, though there's a huge gulf between the likes of Lloris, De Gea, Cech and Courtois.
