Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Raino85]

I wonder what today will bring?
Time to bring in our 'other' targets. More than one position (not just an attacking winger) needs filling and has done all window.
Lets at least make some progress this week and then maybe a couple on the last day or two (loans maybe).

What happens if we bring our 'other' targets now but our main targets become availible closer to the window closing

I heard Chris Eagles is up for a return to the UK. He ripped us a new one back in the day. Worth a punt?

Ahhhhhhh
The Bolasie approach

You don't get your main targets.

Never liked Zaha, and you know, with VAR, and especially if he were to join us, he'd instantly stop being awarded penalties.

And without that he's a waste of space as he barely scores goals, which you need to as an attacking midfielder.

30-40m would be about right for him, but I genuinely hope we do not sign him. He wants a top club, and if he ends up at us it'd be seen in his eyes as a stepping stone at best.

Brands is supposed to be one of the best in his field, I wish he'd start to show it.

The problem is the sell on clause with Man Utd, they get 25%, so I think Palace are trying to get 25% extra. For me I would rather we spent £45m on Malcom than £80m on Zaha. If we could have got Zaha for £55m and Mccarthy going the other way, that would have been OK, but there has to be a point where you say, that's enough and walk away. It doesn't mean it's over, because often with the window, selling clubs change their mind as it gets closer to the end of the window and they need the money from selling 1 player to buy 2 players they want

All down to Zaha to push for the move now that it is all out in the open. I think £60m would get it over the line if he gets into a strop over it.

I think it is generally bad if players think management is tossing them in offers to other teams without letting the players know it is happening. It's probably for the best that the entire squad thinks Brands is being 100% up front with his intentions. I know I do this a lot but it is a pretty common thing in American sports where player for player trades happen more for the front office to put guys in offers and deny it with full force if it ever comes up in the press.

Think about if your boss was offering you to company's in London without asking you about it. Personally I'd be livid.

But Everton have made a statement saying it didn't happen. Someone, probably sky, made it up.

Signed for Oldham this week.
MISSED OUT AGAIN.

BRANDS OUT

I think he scored against us back in the day, didn't he?

lol

Yep, sure did.

Its their last contract years. McCarthy will go to palace or Scotland, Besic to the Championship, Niasse probably after the window to like Turkey for a few million, etc. We aren't getting big fees for these guys so not sure with the possible exception of Tosun, who isn't awful, and McCarthy that it matters if they are still here after the deadline.

Totally agree, also have to remember that the premier league deadline day, is not the only deadline day, we can still sell and loan players out to teams abroad after this date. I think Tosun going will depend on who comes in, he is not first choice, but without him there is only DCL or Richarlison as CF

........is more likely.

It was all going so well back in June with the early signing of Gomes. Getting players in so late is bad for Silva with just 10 days to get them integrated. Has he commented at all about the state of play re transfers?

 

[blulouie]

Well that was fun last night

If you all thought it was tough getting some info on transfers its gonna be 10 times harder from now on.

Roll on the 8th August.

...sounds like it’s over, Matey, i’m sure the club know his feelings, Hodgson confirmed Zaha and the club Chairman are very close and in daily contact. He’ll get his move, it’s just a matter of when and where. Also, he won’t want to lose 10% of the considerable fee by putting in a transfer request.

Suspect £60m and McCarthy would do it if he threw a wobbly, only thing is I doubt he’d go nuclear for us. For Arsenal he probably would’ve done, but for us? Seems very unlikely. I say we move on to our next target.
