Summer Transfer Window 2019

[The Penny Blue]

Have we got transfer scouts engaging in a battle royal here?

Roshambo for the right to stay.

Zouma
Gomes
Quality RB
Sosa
Gaich
ST (Mateta?)

So Zouma/Gomes doesn't improve us, although in theory, Gomes could get better with a full offseason and a better understanding of Silva's tactics.
Sosa/Gaich, while tremendous potential, doesn't really improve us next year.
Mateta helps give an additional option and he's probably a bit better than DCL, especially against certain teams.
If the quality RB just pushes Coleman and doesn't improve us on that side, do we not think the top 10 aren't going to improve more in their offseasons?

We still would have the same weaknesses in central midfield. In addition, if we are spending that much, we are selling some players. Are we keeping Schneiderlin? I'm assuming we'll sell him. If so, we will badly need another CM/DM. You throw Ibrahim Sangare in there for 25M and I'm a LOT happier.

Now for the future? I like Sosa/Gaich/Mateta. If the RB is younger and still developing, that could also be interesting.

The players have had 12 months of management under Silva so there should be some improvement from the get go, especially if we can broker a deal for Zouma.

The transfer deals are being kept very quiet. Other than leaks from Argentina, Brands is going about the transfer business whilst papers feed off scraps and guess work.

An intriguing window which will hopefully see us strengthen wisely.

So, it’s looking like Man Utd are going to offer more than £40million for Wan Bissaka. That’s right, a right back from a mid table London team. May as well pack it in lads, the transfer window is officially ruined..

has bambi legs anyway nea

Poopooing is just a colloquial English verb - probably hasn’t been Americanised yet.

The only yanks who don’t know this idiom are bad Tory meffs.

We've lost Zouma and Gomes.

People keep forgetting this. We are going to have to spend the majority of our budget just to stand still this summer.

How do you know what the budget is?

I feel around 70m will be the majority imo. Happy to be proven wrong as long as it is not a repeat of Summer 2017

You think defensive mid is our biggest weakness when we have DCL, Niasse and Cenk up front????

WOW

Big fan of this talk from you @Nymzee

Interested to see how much people think we will spend this window considering Gomez and Zouma will cost circa 70m to keep?

Can people see us spending much more than that?

Yes.

Outs will be very important again tho sadly.

Yes.

The complete lack of proper outs will really hinder us.. For the next 3 Windows minimum

Yes we've already pruned the wage bill. Jags, Williams, and JJK already gone. Wages saved. Others will follow. Then we reinvest that. I'd say we will spend 120m and bring in about 50-60m in fees/wages savings being hopeful.

Finally, some clarity, well done Frank.
