Summer Transfer Window 2019

Are we actually being linked with Calvin Stengs, or just FM scouting at its best?

Just trying to wake Orly and his grassing agents up with a speculative left footed right winger

Delph second fiddle to Lemina and Gbamin? I don't think you know how good Delph is, he'll surprise a few, good little player Delph, he'll play more often than not when fit.

He’s a cracking little player with gritty style of play, he’ll win fans over in the first 5 games.

I find it a bit odd people think we bought him as a reserve. If he'd not gone to City with all their superstars I'd have bet he'd have been one of the standout midfielders of recent seasons. he's a good all round player, who has good technique but not afraid to battle hard either, that in itself will win over the dars

I totally agree with you, Ijjy, but you can't educate pork.

We all do it to be fair. We all call players crap and the like but even to get a professional game anywhere you have to be half decent.

Except Niasse of course. And Ali Dia.

Aye, it’s easy to forget since he’s been a young player coming through he had a lot to his game. He’s arguably on a par with Gomes in terms of experience, probably more so. The time with City seen him develop other areas of his game whilst not looking out of place when playing central midfield.

Before he went to Villa I really wanted him as he offers what all midfielders in my opinion should and that’s defensive and offensive responsibilities.

Looking forward to seeing him create a partnership with Gomes and taking some of the responsibility from him to help us go forward. He’ll also be able to cover ground that Gomes at time struggles when players put on the after burners against him.

I think Gbamin looks a bit wild in what I’ve seen and I think we may have to ease him into the team, but Delph gives us options that we’ve not had.

Rakitic link is way out of left field. He's not the kind of midfielder we need, is he? And he's 31. If there's ANYTHING to it at all it might be that Barca are shopping him around and came to us as we have previously hoovered up their fringe players. Can't see it happening.

Yerry Le Mina

 

[Lelouch]

Can’t see an RB on loan challenging Coleman at all.

Rakitic just replaces anyone anywhere in our team except in goal

Loan would make more sense, we don't want to buy too many players. Coleman will be first choice anyway.

And Martina

And Martina

I actually feel a bit sorry for him in a way.

28 year old Rakitic, maybe

 

[toffee66]

If the RB on loan is Santiago Arias from Atletico as rumoured then Coleman will be challenged and the Colombian party nights at Yerry’s place will be epic!

Really? a loan could be Ideal. What if we get Arias on loan with an option to buy?
