Summer transfer window 2023

[Zatara]

I don't mean as a direct replacement. I suspect Palace would look to bring in 2 or 3 if they get that money. Palace will do what Palace always do and identify good young talent. But they are also light on numbers. Reckon they could get Iwobi for about £8-10m with a year left on his deal. Adds a bit of experience to go alongside whatever young talent they buy this summer.

Just always felt I could see Iwobi playing for Palace one day.

Keep Branthwaite and bring in Ilings-Junior and I'm almost optimistic about our prospects

Id be very happy if we sold Iwobi and Gray and replaced with Iling Junior (permanent) and Sulemana (loan with option).

Also Holgate + Godfrey/Keane and bring in De Winter.

Some great business there leaving us just needing an additional CM.

The spirit of Kanchelskis will be with him….. always…..

one of the saddest days as an Evertonian when he went there.

still coming to terms with it TBH.

Agree that they are the sort of players we should be looking to develop over the next few years as part of the general financial recovery pack!!

As always I'm just going off your daily round up. Any more Chermiti style surprises are also welcome

I wonder what today brings, another load of regurgitated rumours or some actual progress on signings?

I know but without them we'd never hit that 2000 page target

In principle yes. The issue for me is that Iwobi is our only player who is capable of playing through the middle (low standards, I know). If we build the kind of team above, we'll be a handful on the counter and probably deliver a few more Brighton style results to better attacking sides, but we'd really struggle against sides that sit in against us.

Think we need a bit of guile too tbh.

Newcastle haven’t spent as much money I thought they would but they have got Champions league money now and will no doubt get a lot through Saudi sponsorship.

Villa are the ones to look out for re FFP. They have spent a lot in transfers and wages and look to me to be gambling on making the top 4. If they don’t then it might become very difficult for them

Top 4 there's no way they're gambling on getting in the top 4.

Yes I'm hoping your gut feeling is wrong about an Iwobi sale. We need him next season...not a popular view, I know...but we also need to stop playing him on the wing. (Where he will almost definitely start against Fulham)

I think they might push hard for it but whether they actually finish there is a different matter. Emery is a bloody good manager and he has Monchi there now with him. He is a hard task master and one of the best tactical guys about, Villa will surprise a few imo but yeah I'm not 100% convinced they will finish there over 38 games more flirt with it.

Spent nearly £100m last season and £80m so far this season plus Tielemans on a free who will be on big wages

 

[rochdaleblue]

Tottenham getting Ashley Philips for 2m is a kind of deal we used to be all over....

Mate whose a rovers fan rates him very highly. Far more potential than Diaz he said.

Talking to Villa fans yesterday who were very confident of a top 6 finish. They're not going to be far off

If we could move out Gray and Iwobi thats a big step in the right direction.

Iling Junior (perm) and Kamaldeen Sulemana (loan with option) and we have real pace out wide and players able to put a cross into Chermiti.

IF we can build a team of majority u25s then we wont need to have a scattergun approach any longer and instead can put all funds into say 2 players a summer.

Thats when we bring in a super 10 to open teams up.
