Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Bluebonic]

Isn’t it nice to be excited about a transfer window

This is mad smile Monday

It would be great to get three but I'd settle for RB / CB at this stage. It's difficult on the last day as things can break down just as quickly as they develop.

I'm confident that we still still go on to do good deals and have further confidence that we won't sign anyone for the sake of getting bodies in - that's the big temptation on deadline day to appease fans but in terms of incomings at least both this summer and last its been hard to argue with Brands so far.

The operation looks targeted, disciplined, and co-ordinated so credit where it's due.

I wouldn't mind Smalling TBF. Please god, not Jones.

Hasn't Jones agreed terms with the horse punchers?

BBC have reduced the payment we got for Lookman to £16m. That is in an article with a background of how much we have spent as big spenders.

I don't understand why we would go for Gary Cahill after letting Jags leave. Something bigger (cough cough Zouma) must be ready to happen.....

We aren't going for Cahill. He isn't linked anywhere other than his mates suggesting we bid for him.

Nah they don’t need a CB

Rumours were last night that its agreed. Which could indicate lascelles or schar leaving. Their fans seem to think lascelles to leicester to replace maguire

No mention of Vlasic being sold (and to a lesser extent Robinson and Williams) perhaps 18-20m right there

We haven’t even been big spenders either.

They know very little. I suspect we got out 25 million, but we'll never know as it won't be published.

Seems there are a lot of similarities with Doucoure and for whatever reason we are not ruling out another midfielder. (I do wonder if this is to cover fro Schneiderlin if he were to leave alongside McCarthy & Besic).

Kessie may well have a higher ceiling than Doucoure, but with Doucoure you are getting a very versatile player who knows the league inside out. It's a hard balancing act. I'd be delighted with either (but really like Doucoure).

the thing is, if we get rid of schneiderlin, we don't have any defensive midfielders for if we'd want to play like that. Been well documented silva had capoue to do that job in his 4-3-3, would he want two powerful box-to-box midfielders alongside siggurdsson in a middle 3?

2 of Doucoure, Gbamin, Gomes and Delph? That's quite a lot of strength in depth, too much for me. I mean Siggurdsson has to play in the 3 surely? Otherwise there's no goals in that middle 3 and not too much creativity tbh. We won't be shoehoring siggurdsson out wide either, surely, so where does our most creative player then play?

I think if we buy any of the united CBs it will go from a great window to an OK window.
