Summer Transfer Window 2017

Max Meyer would do nicely, the lad Arnold for Germany has always impressed aswell

WRD has posted but cant get on the site.

He says:

Think our interests have cooled in Bas Dost due to the ridiculous amount they want but I hear we've taken an interest in Max Meyer. Had a scout over there on two occasions last year to watch him.

Also hear we are about to enquire about Sigurdsson's availability and price in the coming days, if the deal is right for both clubs then we will get him.

Benteke is nothing put papers rumours from what I know. Looking at another centre half but no names as of yet.

Last season we had a smaller net spend than before Moshiri tipped up.

Reaching back into previous windows, looking desperate now

Lol

Lucas Perez has lost his shirt number and isn't on the tour. Definitely going back to Spain.

And by Spain you must mean Walton.

I am pretty sure we will sign a striker from the Premier League before the window closes. Might cost more than we think it should but it isn't our money. Be nice to find a Mahrez/Kante type bargain if we can.

Yeah. What's the bet we'd all be fuming saying WTF have you bought him for?

 

[Barnfred 55]

Buy more Germans

Arnautovic is Austrian mate. That close enough?

...looking desperate with this now. You cant reach back into previous windows mate.

Lol.

i like Arnautovic - he's proper snide and with Geri gone, Bolaisie out i'd start him ahead of Lennon and maybe Kev.

Hope to never see that beaut pull on our shirt

I hope he had the worst year ever. He turned us down last minute for that make believe world that is arsenal

Long season with different team challenges.

Some games will require delivery into the box. Others will need playing through.
Ideally we will have a squad of 25 who can exploit weakness in any opposition.
That was why Man United won the EL last season. They where not the best team in the competition, but they where able to look for and capitalise on the oppositions frailties.

We should be targeting that competition.

Yeah I agree on all points, but my point was that if we pay £35m+ for a striker, it would seem rather foolish to be unable to play to their strengths. A lot of people are saying Giroud or Benteke would get you 15 goals a season but I don't think they would in our current team, because we don't have the players to supply the crosses for them. In the right set up they're good players, I'm just not convinced that set up is available to us at the moment.

One thing I would bear in mind as fun as the shouts are.

Teams above us are unlikely to want to sell us their quality squad players i.e martial, sturridge, batshuayi whoever.

As we spend more and raise our profile we start to become a threat and the top 6 would rather we stay a distant 7th and not make things more complicated.

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

Wait what? so I can't look back at moshiri's previous windows even though you said judge him on them.

Here are some facts. Since last summer (moshiris first) we've spent £170m, £94m of that this window

You can't argue with him mate. He changes the rules as he goes to suit his pathetic agenda.

I'm suspecting we have turned his head, will be a decent bench warmer.
