Transfer Window Thread

I wish we had Manuel Fernandez, he's exactly the type of player we need and we know he can cut it in the Premier League.

My guess is Martinez will try loaning a player from Barca. No idea who, as I'm not up on their players but there's no way Barca haven't got some kind of creative player in one of their teams that could do a job for us and as Martinez gets on well with Barca it seems probable.

I would go as high as 6m.

You're obviously kinky and enjoy being raped and pillaged by Spurs then ?

 

[TippEverton]

And where does it leave Kagawa?

I'd guess on the pitch with Dortmund, he's started the season very well there.

Barca have a very small squad at the moment, and they've shipped a lot pf their B-team talent elsewhere already.

For some reason I cant help feeling that if we do get a playmaker in. It will be a loan as we've left it too late to haggle over anything permanent as we are always slow as hell on full transfers

We signed McCarthy on a permanent deal in the last few hours a few years ago.

Phil knows the score.

On the mark. How can we even start to justify to stones we are still a big team and can challenge for top 4 with a summer transfer spend of £4.5m. If we don't get another couple of players in there has to be serious questions asked of the manager and the board, every one of us can see if we don't bring in a playmaker an other strike option its going to be another inconsistent season.

Looks like we're in trouble then ...

Januzaj is a replacement for Kampl, who has joined Leverkusen from Dortmund.

Blaszczykowski is very injury prone and at 30 would be a risk - plus I don't think he'll leave Dortmund. He's a club favourite there.

Kagawa has been given a new lease of life under Tuchel playing as a proper No.10 - he's playing superbly.

I'm sure we'll be fine. This whole thing about 'RM has a good relationship with barca' is nonsense. We've loaned (and now signed) one player from them.

 

[sportbillyblue]

Hopefully Dortmund get him

me too. I don't understand the clamour for him.

it all seems quiet, very quiet. I get the impression that the likes of Lennon aside, we've done our business. Anyone see the car park at Finch Farm ? it must be quiet.

 

[BoredSaint]

Is it a concern that there are like 0 links to anyone decent....

 

[BlueToff]

Hopefully Mori will be confirmed today. Maybe more difficult with it being a bank holiday - paperwork for permits etc.

I'll happily see Lennon come in but he's not what we need IMO. We need a creative outlet and, while Lennon offers a lot to the team in other areas, he isn't that.

Comfortably the best photo I've seen this transfer window.

 

[AndyC]

My guess is that El Bob is still working hard at things, I know it's hard, but we have to remain patient at least for another 24 hours.

I thought it would be Sergi Roberto, obviously that is not happening now...or is it ?
