Summer transfer window 2023

[sandybrownsbighead]

So just the following out the door

Pickford
Branthwaite
Holgate
Godfrey
Keane
Davies
Gray
Maupay
Simms

and these have already gone

Mina
Begovic
Coady
Townsend
Vinagre

It's a good job Sharp has left the board as we can now register him as a player.

And Iwobi....I imagine Dyche is already having the conversation, "there's going to be many more starting opportunities for you this season, Tom..."

£5-6 million quoted here is ridiculously low when we are known to have rejected a £15 million offer from PSV.

If he was available for 5-6m he’d have stayed at PSV.

Dutch media used to talk about €12m as the price to take him to PSV

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Would have to be paid up front and therefore never happening

 

[billyblue80]

Very good on the ground and driving forward, some good goals didn't see many headed finishes though. Would definitely take him if we can rustle up the dough

 

[riddick]

Any potential Pickford deal shouldn’t involve Henderson. I don’t rate him that highly and we’ll end up over valuing him in the deal. If we have to sell Pickford rinse them for cash and buy a different keeper.

Remember United are the club that screwed us under Silva when we were ready to pay a lot of money for a CB either Smalling or Rojo and they left us in the lurch on the last day and then let both leave for absolute pittance rather than strengthen us even though we’d always dealt with them fairly for Rooney and Lukaku.

We shouldn’t deal with United Spurs or Chelsea unless we absolutely have to.

We shoouldn't deal with ANY of the Scab 6 honestly.

Very two footed and even managed to score one goal with his knob. Get him in.

 

[Dharma]

Why is Maupay still here? Would have thought he would be a good fit at Marine.

He's class and they were going to sign Maupay and Keane before Lampard was sacked.

Two for one deal ?

Exactly. 12m for PSV and half that for West Ham? The media are jokers

 

[Bebeto]

The story about West Ham is bobbins, Branthwaite is worth 20m plus and that's even without a few solid PL seasons. Keep him we can't afford to lose him with Mina/Coady gone. Develop him and he will probably be worth more in the next year or two. We need to be shifting a Keane and Holgate at least Godfrey has pace and can play left back as an emergency

Has only 2 year contract remaining and looks to me that he is not willing to sign a new contract as he is probably thinking he is too good for us.

In an ideal world we shouldn't have to be involved in the disgusting business of top flight modern day football...but what can you do?

Various posts in various threads relating to the sale of our best assets, Pickford for example, and reinvesting in the squad. Sounds simple doesn’t it until you look at our past record of recruiting crap players and the uncertainty of whether any funds raised from sales would even be made available for recruitment. The way I look at it is sell your best players and you are weaker. I see another long season ahead

When WE sell our best players we become weaker. Other teams seem to get by alright as it’s part and parcel of football. We’re still run like it’s the 90s though.
