Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Carlito]

As far as centre backs go, I'm positive I'd rather have someone like Smalling than Shawcross or Dann.

I don't get the prevailing opinion of Smalling. He's a good player; certainly better than Williams.

He was being raved about as England's best defender this time last year, he's absolutely a level above Jagielka, Williams and Mori.

 

[Abertonian]

Wouldn't take Sissoko for free - loan or otherwise. Utter no mark that took a wage at the horse punchers and did nothing. Had a decent tournament in the Euros, that is it. This clown turned up for less than two months of decent football in the last god knows how many years.

Swerve even before you factor in the disrespect he afforded us last summer.

Iceland and Giroud please.

Oh christ not Scott Dann again

 

[devogue]

He would be cover for schneiderlin. He was supposed to be very good at Marseille but hasnt kicked on.

Another CM. Is he an improvement on what we have?. Never watched him so genuine question. Only averaged 15 games per season @ Juve but shouldn't use that stat to judge him

Personally prefer us to go after players where there is a gap in the squad. Hopefully just more paper talk.

Couldn't agree more mate.

His reputation nose-dived after Mourinho called him a little fart for getting injured.

Guess or itk?

guess, i think he would be good cover

I've already posted this on TEF but may as well put it on here.

We're interested in Scott Dann and they want 14m.

*awaits abuse* - not arsed, it's true.

I like Dann, he's better than Williams and can play left sided CB but can't cover at LB...

I know it's the echo and they usually spout tripe but their claiming Koeman wants a utility player that can play CB, LB and DM. That's why it seems we made a last ditch bid to try and hijack the Riedwald bid as he covers all those but off the top of my head I can't think of any other players with all those capabilities?!

It wouldn't surprise me if we went and got a left footed CB that can play LB and then got a CM in. Makes you wonder IF Koeman sees Sissoko as an ideal player for CM? It does seem like he's not convinced by Besic for midfield and I think he's had enough of McCarthy with all the goings on with Ireland when injured so it looks like they could be shown the door?!

And links to Lemina have resurfaced again today. He's a CM. Apparently us & Valencia have offered 15 & 16 millions euros, not sure who as offered what, but Juve want €20m?!....

...another one; according to reports in Turkey (Fanatik), Everton are making a move for midfielder Badou N'Diaye who plays for Osmanlispor. West Ham have had a £7m bid rejected.

 

[MasonLeeEFC]

Scott Dann? A right sided centre half? No. We aren't after him.

Even though he's right footed, he's generally played on the left at the back through out his career....

Think we were vaguely linked to him very early on in the window?!

..I think you're right, Matey.

Just hurry up Ebepton and sign loads more footballists. The natives are getting restless.
