Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Zatara]

We've got seven CMs atm Zat - not including Ross and/or Gylfi.

Even if one leaves, which isn't a given, we're well stocked in that area.

Ross isn't going to be here and plays attacking left...Gylfi I think will be in an attacking slot...

Weve got 4 centre mids + 2 inury prone + an old man.

That old man will still play. And still be very good for us.

McCarthy can get over his injury troubles, as can Besic. It's not an area we need to target in the slightest.

Why didn't they get over their injury troubles last season?

Barry can still do a job in Europe and games we're gonna dominate possession.

A lot of nonsense being talked in here today. You can't overhaul a squad in one window. You get the most important areas first and work on the rest in January and next summer. Too much change isn't a good thing.

[Can't buy class]

Off topic but Ruzomberok just scored to make it 1-1 on aggregate with Brann!

True, but the salaries of the three of them must be well over 100k. Drop down a transfer fee and sign someone to improve us who will stay fit...

 

[Zatara]

That's just brilliant.

That's a good tactic mate, you can just say that every single year and you'll never be able to be proven wrong then.

Tbf, considering we're talking about how young players will do/how players will be seen in the future, and our predictions on that subject, I'm not exactly sure what else you suggest we do...

The Tammy Abraham I saw play for Bristol City a couple of times last season was decidedly average, confirmed by my brother who is a STH at Ashton Gate. He's good at goal hanging tap ins but little else. In light of this, it's a swerve from me.

We're not actually in for Abraham, he's gone to Swansea on loan, I just mentioned him as a shout for the future. Soz for the derail.

 

[Kal El]

That's just brilliant.

You're right, if we offload him it'd be excellent

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

3 targets regardless of sales - Striker, attacking midfielder, left sided central defender.

Then depending on outgoings I wouldn't be surprised if we were busy towards the end of the window.

 

[Zatara]

I do wonder why no one has made a bid for him...he scored a few goals last season for hull and u23s.

Surely were not asking 10mil..

 

[bluestevon]

Keita Balde would be a cracking signing. Unfortunately I believe he has his eyes set on CL footy.

He's going to inter mate. Who aren't even in any European competition

Tbf they've already had a crack at it, the turnover is massive in comparison to previous years and save for cuco most players coming in have been hailed by both press and supporters.
We are moving forward at a rate of knots but there has to be a balance and not in net spend but in terms of player bond, knowledge, trust and dependence on each other.
The big shift has been made in the young market already to give those players time to bed in anyone else now coming in will be older pros with big league experience I think.
