Summer Transfer Window 2017

Leno. Goodness knows if he's any good, but he fulfils the boss name criteria.
Put me down now @chicoazul

Nearly Bravo bad?

Love the stats and follow up. Fair one mate, well i want the Forster if 2 years ago then lol

 

[Mosh-pit]

Why not?

We should be aiming big, we have the money now and a new world class stadium on the way. Our owner has big time connections in the game and Usmanov is there in the background, we're big time now and we should act like it.

I'd have said the same a couple of seasons ago.

If you want a slightly more in depth character assassination of Forster from this season, try this : https://differentgame.wordpress.com/2016/12/31/fraser-forsters-failings/

Gylfi Sigurdsson

Prem 16/17- 8 goals 11 assists (so far)
Prem 15/16- 11 goals 2 assists
Prem 14/15- 7 goals 10 assists

Over the last 3 years he has clearly delivered. His running and sprinting stats are right up there as well. In my opinion he would massively improve our team and if it was a choice between him and Rooney I know who I'd be buying.

He will also be 28 in September so we'd be getting 3-4 peak years from him.

I agree with most of that but i wouldn't want to stick with Robles, i was impressed with how Burnley keeper commanded his back 4. Always telling them to push out and to stick on players etc something i don't see Robles doing

...too small for me and the wrong side of 30.

An attacking midfielder who can score will be vital if we lose Lukaku, however he could be shoehorned onto the wings where he doesn't look like he has the pace too beat a man and not good enough at dribbling too do anything of note

He would have to play central and with this normally being barkley's position there maybe a case of Barkley sold and Sigurdsson replacing him.

Neither Barkley nor Sigurddson have been playing centrally since they kicked on a gear this season

I'd really like to see us sign a high-quality left winger, I think it's been a position that's could be quite easily improved. Would love to have a look at Perisic from inter for that position, as I think he would really improve us in that position

I agree to an extent as Barkley starting position is on the right but I don't think it would be wise too start Sigurddson on the left and barkley on right and allow them too roam around.

Mirallas is starting on the left recently and he's tracking back, that would be a disaster for me as Sigurddson should stick to mid of pitch and can press well, don't need him as a winger and we also need structured shape.

We've not had a competent left winger since Peanuts and a solid winger would also help the fullback massively

I'd take shaquiri from Stoke if we could get him,
Quick, beats people and is that wierd kind of winger/forward that Koeman seems to like

Hot and cold and injury prone.

I want gray

Why are we only allowed to sign British keepers from the prem????

 

[Tel001]

I don't think so, the penalty was a real show of his level. He has been poor in three of his last four matches now. All from poor decisions and positioning. Yes when a keeper makes a mistake it always shows, but I am sure he is just not good enough for a team with our ambitions. I'm not sure he is even the best keeper we have?

You are right that Heaton isn't brilliant, but solid. I think all the keepers I have mentioned are that way. The brilliant keepers are already taken by top clubs.

I thought we should give him time to grow into our #1 but the Spurs game and that stupid decision against burnley has made me want another keeper NOW... mainly because I would keep rom regardless of what he wants for another season and go out and get a keeper , CB etc and really push it next season before rom goes.. basically next season is the big push... koeman and rom will be in the last year of their contracts when next season finishes and it could all go to pieces .... no time for Robles to develop IMO.. we need the players THIS SUMMER
