Summer transfer window 2023

[Goodisongang]

He's hardly young. He's 26 in January.

He's been here for what 4 years now as well? And he's genuinely getting worse each season.

 

[Simon Buttle]

Right winger who is a goal threat?
Pacey and skilful?

Entering the last year of his contract so available on loan/free/reduced fee.
Point to prove

Scored 22 league goals in one league season before moving to the premier league for a large fee.
Didn’t work out for him but was directly involved in 48 goals in 3 seasons in the premier league (68 starts, 50 as sub).
Scored 6 in 19 league games on loan this season.

Step forward….. Nicolas Pépé

Started off as a complete joke but having looked at him it’s now only 80% a joke

Darian Meles of FC Basel only 22 years old, can play RW, ST, AM, 4 goals 9 assists.

Was being sarcastic with the reply but I also don’t much like blanket statements.

From Leeds, I’d take a punt on Gnonto and maybe Harrison if they’re cheap enough.

Re the Americans, Adams was good which is why he’ll move. McKennie came on loan and very much underperformed. Aaronson to the championship is probably where he should’ve started his career in England anyways.

66% were below par then ?

The articles from the last 48hrs suggest we’ll only have 20-30m for transfers - before anyone is sold - and considering we need additions in every department it’s obvious we’ll need to target some free transfers, so any actual money is saved for a centre forward like Gyokores.

Dyche said in the post-match press conference he wants players who understand the club/Premier League, and the Mark Douglas leak that they’ll be targeting power and pace.

Left-back https://www.transfermarkt.com/trans...ion_id=4&altersklasse=alle&land_id=0&yt0=Show

My pick - Ryan Manning. This could be an excellent piece of business. 26 yo LB/LWB and Swansea’s player of the year

Right-back https://www.transfermarkt.com/trans...ion_id=5&altersklasse=alle&land_id=0&yt0=Show

My pick - Joel Veltman. You could argue Patterson & Coleman is enough, but both have fitness issues. Veltman can also play right of three man CB defence and he brings the experience we’d lose if Coady goes back to Wolves

Centre-mid https://www.transfermarkt.com/trans..._id=alle&altersklasse=alle&land_id=0&yt0=Show

My pick - Jefferson Lerma. Nothing spectacular, but has tonnes of PL experience, is a nasty sh*thouse and has weighed in with a handful of goals this season. Would also allow us to move on Onana without too much damage if we need to sell-to-buy. If things are really desperate I wouldn’t be surprised if they took a 12 month punt on either Ramsey or Barkley as well.

Winger https://www.transfermarkt.com/trans...on_id=99&altersklasse=alle&land_id=0&yt0=Show

My pick - Ryan Kent. I fear Thelwell will go for Traore due to the Wolves links. Kent seems to be a safer though. From the area and at a good age. Shame about the Kopite connections.

None of the above are meant to be anything other than realistic suggestions. Of course I’d rather pick the likes of Kamada or Ndicka, but it’s just not going to happen. At least this would leave the actual money towards a striker. Then hopefully they can get some cash for Maupay, Gomes & Keane to add a bit more

We're going down

Prolific.......in a farmers league for one of the better sides. Worth a punt though. Can't make us worse surely ?

[badloaf]

I’d keep Godfrey. He’s been unlucky with being played out of position constantly, or having a different defensive partner. Still only young, great pace.

Everyone else I agree with

Is he any good at baking? If he can do a better job on the pies then he can stay. That’s hard cash straight in the coffers every match day.

Belongs to inter Milan from what I can find

Sure. But I don't put much weight in a sample size of 3. Tim Ream and Antonee Robinson were two of Fulham's best this season. So 60% of the outfield Americans were quite good. Stats are largely just manipulated to make them what whoever is presenting wants them to be.

Who was the Swiss lad that Martinez thought could be a superstar and never played for us?

For a minute then, I read that as Roy Kent.

He’s here, he’s there, he’s every….

Every player is a superstar according to Martinez.

A Phenomenal Superstar !!
