Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Thomasc]

Going of league goals,
Shane long at Southampton is a 1 in 4, iheangasho is a 1 in 4 at city, and he's got some of the best playmakers in the world behind him.

They have obviously been lurking on here then.

Football journo's! one of the easiest and biggest blag jobs ever.

A combination of using fan forums and football manager and the job is a good 'un.
Surprised they've not tried to link us with Luuk de Jong as an 'in case Giroud doesn't come off', same as they did with Bas Dost.

 

[carolinablue232]

Klaassen? He was heavily linked with moves to Italy and other European clubs.

Pickford had the top six looking at him as well, and other Prem clubs.

Keane was supposedly on the verge of rejoining United or Liverpool (in fact, didn't plenty of articles from reliable journos say he turned down Utd in favour of first team football?).

Sandro was highly touted and Atletico Madrid were seriously interested.

Henri was a target of several European and PL clubs.

The only real player that 'had no other option' that we have brought in is Rooney...

So that first point, my apologies for being blunt, is nonsense.

The playmaker thing is in the process of getting sorted. The ball is in Swansea's court as much as it is ours.

The Giroud thing I'm sure will come to a head sooner rather than later but if we're wanting our no.1 target I don't care if we have to wait another two weeks to get him. He's a player, like Gylfi, good enough to slot right into any side without needing too much bedding in time.

Think there were quotes directly from Henry that had had a contract literally in front of him from PSG but didn't sign it as well.

[blue to the bone]

Echo, Hoedt from Lazio £12m CB.

Be a signing that makes sense. Young Left sided centre back that can cover left back and not overly expensive

Yep right you are!

He completed a medical at PSG but they only gave him a short window to decide/sign a deal. We came back in for him then I do believe.

 

[sageyefc]

Hoedt isn't Williams, for that reason I'm in


Sign

Anderlecht's sporting director quoted - offers as low as 22M would be accepted for Dendoncker.

Rounding error in today's transfer world, no?

 

[Nymzee]

Says in the Echo article we're looking at Hoedt but ideally Koeman wants someone that can play CB, LB and midfield.

In world football that's literally only Blind.

Or Cuco Martina.

But no, theres MILLIONS of players who can play CB, LB and midfield.

I can, also up front

 

[bluestevon]

Hmmm.

Not sure on that matey. I think Rom will do well.

Rom will bag plenty this season. In fact I can see him being the top-scorer.

I don't think that'll be enough to win United the league, though.

He'll score goals. But will he be able to drag United through the big games. I suppose that's the question.

Rom tends to fill his boots on more open teams mate, he will face much less of those playing for untied when teams will set up more defensively.

Please name 5 players that can perform in all 3 positions at an acceptable level to crack the Top 6 this season

That's central midfield btw.

I agree. Less than 20 for Rom this season. He'll cave under the pressure just as he did at Chelsea, in big games for us & tournament football for Belgium.

He's that striker in your 5-a-side league that smashes 30 past one crap team and doesn't show up against the others.

Less than Tielemans which is a surprise. Said €25-35m on the quote. Not sure why you'd give people a price range. Who's going straight in with €35m?
