Summer Transfer Window 2017

[toffeejack]

if no-one goes we need -2 centre backs, a left back, poss a right back , a goalie , a magical boots player and maybe a young striker

i dont think we will get all of these...

think we need two strikers myself. ideally 3 because if lukaku got injured we'd need to probably play two up top to compensate. I'd like the chance to have a partner for lukaku, as well as being their backup so we can actually go two up front at some point. We'll be sending valencia back, niasse will be sold and surely kone will too. I suppose we have DCL to come in and that leaves us with just two strikers start of the summer, so yeah, two would be alright i suppose.


3 is just me being greedy. Don't ask me what happens if we sell lukaku because i cbb to think of that ha.

its convincing decent players to come to be back up...

We can't sell Barkley and Lukaku in the summer.
To me, that is completely unacceptable.

exactly, that's why we've got to show a willingness for them to at least play some part as a first XIer, what needs to be remembered, a fairly highly touted gabbidiani was happy to come here when he would have been pretty much, just that. I like someone like giroud, arsenal fans dislike him a lot, but he has a very good goals per minutes ratio last couple of seasons, yet still doesn't get trusted. his only issue is not always showing up in the massive massive games hence why arsenal fans seem to dislike him, but we're not at that stage yet, i think he'd be a great option, because he has that bit of arrogance about him which would mean he'd fancy taking rom's spot off him. Would be a great partnership too i think.

Alternatively, it gives us tremendous depth at cb for a push in all competitions, and allows us to loan out a higher calibre of young player to higher calibre teams.

Vvd and Keane would be as good a cb pairing as any in the league, our cm is up there too as is our striker, would give us an amazing spinecto the team.

Any relation to Serpico?

It's a good job we aren't then.

Think Gibson also seems a bit quicker across the ground as well.

What are your opinions of Maguire, big lad that can play a bit, or an accident waiting to happen?

You might be right there on Gibson. He's my preference of the 3.

I can't make my mind up on Maguire. Part of me thinks he's an ale house defender. He looks like Rochard Dunne and uncultured. However he seems to run powerfully and has played with a lot of heart and bravery. I wouldn't be aversed to us getting him. Ultimately I think Koeman has shown he can improve most lads. He's less rolls Royce than Keane or Givson though!

Ale house defender?

Well played Josh.

You are flying up the jarg hipster football charts.

Who is a good young prospect from South America we can sign.

I fear we will mate.

I fear we will mate.

Could see Koeman walking if both went.

 

[ijjysmith]

Could see Koeman walking if both went.

Doubt it. He'd have even more gazzilions to spend.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Dont be daft we wont be losing both.

Ive actually started to feel both will sign.

 

[Niapper]

Maguire is better than Gibson.

 

[Connor]

Is this a WT type situation?

Nah. He's a divvy who sits in a bed sit with an owl.
