Summer Transfer Window 2017

[toffee-L]

It does make LB cover interesting though.

I think loaning out Galloway is a near guarantee that we'll be looking for a left back this summer, not a chance we go into next season with just Baines as an option.

It does make LB cover interesting though.

I would imagine Koeman intends to bring a left back in. Love Baines, but he's sadly not getting any younger, and can't be expected to start 50+ games next season.

 

[crezza]

What if he's intending on playing 3 at the back?

 

[Stephen Gibson]

What if he's intending on playing 3 at the back?

Still need more cover.

I predict the rest of our business will go like this :

Rooney
Giroud
Martina
LB

Lukaku sold

VVD in

If Barks leaves Sigi will be brought in.

No Weasel, just thoughts.

ermm, wouldn't we buy another striker to replace lukaku as well?

i'd want rooney, giroud, sandro and one other (worth north of £30m, and no, not that spurs reject at celtic) if we're going to sell rom. Rooney and sandro can play behind the striker as well, before i get cascaded with "we don't need 4 strikers" shouts.

I predict your prediction won't occur.

 

[crezza]

I wonder which release clause Steve Walsh will find next...

 

[bitter-no-better]

I predict your prediction won't occur.

i predict a riot if it does occur.

 

[bluesb1970]

I predict your prediction won't occur.

I have a concurrence of occurrence

 

[a bell maul]

What if he's intending on playing 3 at the back?

...suggesting we're buying another quality defender?

 

[sharkey1001]

Where's the marquee signing?

And NOT Wayne Rooney.

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

So our attacking options could be the following -

Strikers - Giroud. Sandro. DCL.
Wingers - Mirallas. Bolasie. Lookman.
Attacking midfielders - Klaassen. Barkley. Rooney. Sigurdsson.

Would people be happy with that? Would prefer a Dembele type over Giroud.

And in an ideal world we get a shiny new attacker in place of Mirallas.

Who would you start out of that?

keep Mirallas and Giroud would be boss...maybe Dembele instead of Siggy if Ross stays

I'd prefer to keep Barkley, not sign Rooney and sign a fast striker who likes to press

I can live with the above though, but in an ideal world I'd sell Mirallas and bring in a really fast wide player as I think we're missing that in Bolasie's absence

We've been linked with Bellarabi. He'd be perfect.
