Summer Transfer Window 2019

Dont like the sound of that.

It's a Barca press briefing. All about putting pressure on so they know what they have to spend/make up elsewhere in other sales.

 

[Simon Buttle]

You heard that from?

Sport Witness im guessing as that is where it is posted at the moment

Cool. Lets hope the player will have some say in his destination, even if we go over the "asking price"

 

[Tez]

Barcelona want to bring in fair few new players this summer so they need to sell. Gomes is their Klaassen so they'll be happy just to move him on. The only problem we've got is if other clubs come in for him who will drive the price up.

I still think he'll end up here regardless but you want to pay as little as possible.

Agreed

U wot

They were trying to offload him to Arsenal last summer for 20m. If that was euros then £17m is about right.

Luckily he had that crap spell over the winter so hopefully that would have put a few suitors off

 

[Nymzee]

I think I'd take Andre for £17m

Take him in me

I know what it is, will wait till the summer myself as other clubs are interested but hopefully we will be sensible and tie the deal up before others move in.

Dont like the sound of that.

It’s pretty much the case with every transfer that’s ever been done.

 

[Lelouch]

A footballing world where Dominic Solanke and Yannick Bolasie could cost more than Andre Gomes

 

[ijjysmith]

I think Brands has this summer planned out and sorted already.

I think Silva alluded that they already know who they want.

Which is a good sign.

 

[Eggs]

my guess the 23 are:-

Certs:-

Ashley Williams
Cuco Martina
Maarten Stekelenburg
Philip Nikodem Jagielka (hero) (pls give testimonial)
Kurt Zouma (return to Chelsea from loan)
Andre Gomes (return to Barcelona from loan)
Leighton Baines (hero) (pls give testimonial)
Shani Tarashaj

Will leave if a buyer can be found:-

Cenk Tosun
Sandro Ramirez
James McCarthy
Matthew Pennington
Yannick Bolasie
Oumar Niasse
Muhamed Besic
Luke Garbutt
Kevin Mirallas

Unsure:-

Theo Walcott
Nikola Vlasic
Ademola Lookman
Mason Holgate
Antonee Robinson
Callum Connolly
Henry Onyekuru

Gueye will not be sold unless big money is offered and his contract doesnt expire until 2022 so we have no need to sell him either

I imagine Dowell and Beni will have long term futures and won't be sold although its worrying that neither are first team starters for their championship clubs and Beni has barely played any games

In:-

I imagine Zouma and Gomes will be on the shortlist to be signed permanently

i imagine a top quality striker and right back will be big priorities

i imagine a backup for left back will be needed

i imagine at least 2 centre halves for cover will be needed as well

i also imagine he will be looking to bring in a young winger and a central midfielder to boost numbers

....I reckon Dowell, Holgate, Robinson, Onyekuru and Vlasic are in the shop window and will be moved on if possible. Anthony Evans is another young professional who could leave. Could be a purge of the U23s with those Silva doesn’t want to use being sent on loan (Hornby, Feeney).

 

[ijjysmith]

They need to sell a lot this summer because of their awful transfer dealings of recent years but it still a ridiculous hit.

Sounds familiar

 

[Barnfred 55]

Take him in me

Are we having an Arya Stark moment here Nymzlol
