Summer Transfer Window 2017

[CynicalBlue]

2 centre backs, a left back, a winger and back up striker.

Hope and pray Cleverley and Niasse leave permanently.

Only with player sales will we spend over 30 mill

If reports are true about lukaku's contract, then he has been given assurances about the way the club is going and the players we are going to sign. If that is the case there is no way he would put pen to paper on an investment in the playing staff this summer of 30m.

Apparently Steve Walsh was at Craven Cottage on Saturday to watch Sessegnon. Looks a great prospect, starring in the Championship at 16. Would probably cost a bit more than Lookman though.

Then 100% swerve.

Not good enough for where we want to be.

Hasnt he only played a dozen or so games? Bit early to for him I reckon

...Michael Keane article. I didn't know he had a twin brother at Hull, we'll have to make sure we sign the right one;

We got a tonking anyway in all but scoreline.

Whereas Arsenal played OK last night, but got a tonking.
We lost by a goal. The way it's reported is different. The way players and fans think about it afterwards is different.

Like we did with Funes Mori you mean

If our players are honest they know it was men against boys versus Spurs on Sunday. 3-2 flattered Everton.

...could have a CB pairing who have twin brothers. Funes Mori's brother truly is identical.

No argument there, but can you see that the mindset from a 3-2 defeat, particularly on the back of a series of very good results is far more positive than a battering score-wise?
Spurs are a stronger squad than ours atm. That's just a fact. I think there was an element of damage limitation in the selection and perhaps it worked to a point.

I think our twin thinks he's a centre forward too at times.

TBH, my preference would be to replace one twin with another

....I'm sure it was a team set up to nullify Spurs strength in their top third but it backfired. Barry was off the pace and his inclusion unbalanced the Schneiderlin/Gueye axis that has been working so well. I wouldn't use Sunday's game as a true comparison of the teams. Whilst Spurs are superior, we got it wrong tactically and it's better putting a line through the game.

Possibly it does work that way with many players.

My overall point though is that we set up for the draw and still got a chasing. Better to have gone for it and really measure yourself against these teams. I dont think we put our best foot forward on Sunday and if I were a player in that team I'd feel frustrated that we as a team hadn't had the chance to go for it and show Spurs what we had.

The manager obvioulsy doesn't believe in his own work thus far with these players else he'd have taken the leash off and gone for it toe to toe.
