Summer transfer window 2023

[davek]

Might as well go for Ortega at City then. Looks as good as Edison

There's no way he'd come here.

Someone like Kelleher would.

'someone' sounds like wishful thinking to me. Would be amazed if any club offered anything more than nominal fees for those players - we'd probably accept but the players may not want to go.

Forest & West Ham's transfer targets will have changed now they're safe, Eddie Howe isn't signing relegation-threated EFC's 4th choice defender Holgate for Champions League Newcastle, and Godfrey is Championship at best. "Slabhead" is club captain of one of the biggest names in the world and England's first choice - that alone gets him a move to a top-half-ish team (despite being garbage). We could be stuck with these jokers for another season.

I’m not saying that these clubs still want them, I was simply pointing out that we have had I terat in these players previously and therefore can do again

 

[Tel001]

Godfrey has been badly found it. People need to remember we are among the poorest in the the league. If you are not good enough for us it is Championship or abroad which means no fee

We are but saints were the protest and they will be selling players … we took 2 of burnleys and westham took another .

10m for a prem player is nominal in todays market.

Due to the media’s perception of him the Pickford name is dirt in the minds of supporters of the Traditional CL qualifying clubs. He would never be accepted. Both United and Spurs want Raya instead of him

Fans don’t care once they sign.

Richie wasn’t exactly popular with other teams fans yet spurs were happily gloating when he left us.

Gordon had an awful reputation for diving and Newcastle fans gave him loads of grief when he was with us. Signs for them and all off a sudden they start banging on about him being a world class potential.

Fans are fickle.

If we could get say £100m for Pickford, Onana and Keane, we could sign 5 or 6 new players. Brighton should be the inspiration.

MacAlister, Sanchez, Caciedo and Estupinian and Mtioma all signed for a combined less than 50 million quid. They all walk into our team except Sanchez.

Been told to leave by his international manager as well.

If we only get 100m for then 3 we have done bad business.

 

[God Benfrey]

Think Spurs will sign the Brentford keeper. They have already signed a replacement

Thought United were getting Raya

 

[God Benfrey]

Would be nice to have a decent striker signed soon.

What's a "striker " ????

 

[davek]

Been told to leave by his international manager as well.

Would suit Liverpool probably. If he turned up at a rival for a European spot and did well there it'd be an embarrassment.

 

[riddick]

Totally disagree, Ederson and Allison are head and shoulders the 2 best keepers in the league by some distance and 2 of the best in Europe.

Ederson is a bit hoop but Alisson is the actual best in the world imo sadly. It’s nothing other than rivalry bias to write him off as average.

I think Alisson is a terrible keeper but that's because he plays for them lot not because of any footballing metric.

 

[Blue peter]

Based on a easy story made up by the press, because the Spurs keeper is leaving, so easy lol

I suspect they have known for a while that their GK was leaving this summer. If Pickford has to go he has to go….but I would refuse to sell those lot. They got a deal on the cheap for Richarlison and I am convinced they only intervened in the Dan Juma deal knowing there was a good chance that could relegate us and weaken our negotiation position - they didn’t need to him when they had Richy, Kane and Son. I appreciate that may sound far fetched, but it’s the sort of thing I would look at.

 

[Librarian]

Pickford is England keeper + our player of the season and as such it should take a monster offer to consider his departure.

Best strategy is to name a high price, otherwise he’s staying.

 

[Blue peter]

They hijacked our loan player in the 11th hour and tried to relegate us. Wouldn’t do any deal with them.

Absolutely this….they knew what they were doing…..we invited them in by being a shambles of a football club, but they took full advantage with one eye on availability of our players this summer.

 

[DayL08]

Aren’t Davies and Townsend out of contract and gone?

Gbamins agent has already said he isn’t coming back and is looking to go to Russia.

We are also losing begovic, Coady, Mina and Vinagre.

We need money from somewhere to replace them.

60m for Pickford allows us to bring in several players to fill the squad.

Ultimately it’s likely Pickford or onana who we will sell.

It has to be Onana. It’s not even close. You don’t mess around selling a good keeper unless you have to. Much easier to find another centre mid. A 29 year old keeper is about a 24 year old outfield player.
