Summer transfer window 2023

[HalfTimeSayers]

I like Traore. We’ll be playing on the counter plenty and while his stats aren’t the best he’s also been dealing with a death of quality strikers to actually get on the end of things. Jimenez and then a 58 year old Costa aren’t great. Solve our striker problem and get him on a free if we could.

For all his scattergun crossing and shooting, if nothing else he makes opposing teams and opposing managers think, and usually change shape, just in case he picks the ball up from a cleared corner, motors easily all the way to opposing box and puts a half decent cross in. The fact that he rarely manages this doesn’t mean managers can ignore him. It’s happened to us!

Can’t remember the last time we had a player that would even be written on our opponents white board, we are always worrying about them and their danger men, they just turn up and play how they want to play. We haven’t even had a stable formation for a few years, it’s always bent around who’s not injured, and how best to stop the team we face just running right through us.

He’s a pretty awful footballer and I’d rather not given the cash he’d want, but it is another weapon in the armoury, one that we don’t have.

We don't even have a right winger, let alone enough players to field a full squad for the first preseason match, but Adama Traore isn't good enough to come in on a free transfer?

Situation is

Beggars can't be choosers

We'll be left scrapping with Salford City for players

The club has been so ridiculed it cannot compete

Love to be a fly on wall when everton pitch....followed by laughter

Club is rock bottom

I thought Saha was crap outside of about 4 sporadic couple of month bursts of form scattered throughout his time at the club.

Didn't he go literally a year without scoring?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Not too fussed about missing out on this. Big, big fee for a 25 year old who hasn't proved anything above the Championship, especially with one year on his contract. Coventry have played a blinder.

Have to question his temperament to want to go to Portugal too.

Scored in fa Cup final

Snuff said

 

[Tony1985]

Decent striker apart from Lukaku?

I present to you - The Yak

Proper natural number 9, still only 28 so he might be an option.

Maybe because everton are mediocre

Portuguese based used to come over here

Mention everton?

Apparently we are after this guy, a LB, he is 25 and will cost between 10-15M:

better chance of European football for one

I was thinking we were going to get Joel Piroe. Now I think will be stuck with DCL and a midfielder playing the #9 role again. Thing’s definitely need to shape up because I don’t think will be so lucky this time around. We need players soon.

Sporting have good scouting and a lot of talents come from there aka Ronaldo. I believe they got a gem in gyokeres and this will be proven with time

We arent beggars, we have sold around 85m pound of players the last 6 months.

The inaction is down to sheer incompetence of The Chairman and The DoF, plain and simple.
