Transfer Window Thread

[Mogwai]

I wouldn't be surprised to see media reports of a £30m + Victor Moses bid this week.

Any idea what % Barnsley would get from a Stones sale ?

15% to 20% according to a Barnsley fan

My head is hurting with all this. Make it stop.

I dont know mate. I suppose all you can do is gauge it by activity and there is none. It's all guesswork on our part, but if we get to the end of the window without a player sale of magnitude I'll be pleasantly surprised. I'd be staggered if we had anything approaching a spend of the tv cash plus cash from a player going.

My concern is more that we do business asap. If we do and we buy players in the positions we all know we need to fill then that'd have to do. We know what we're stuck with here at this club, we have to get on with it.

Keeping Stones and Barkley is huge IMO, but for the right price I'd sell the likes of Coleman and McCarthy.

We need a big cash windfall to buy the players we need, but it'll be a huge shame to lose our best players.

I'd say £20M, we're consistently looking for a CD for around £8M and have been linked to several Playmakers (realistic or not) around £12m

True, and I guess there's got to be something in that as we've been linked to plenty of players around those prices.

I'd say 15m left is about right and that Martinez knows he may struggle to get permanent deals for a centre half and a creative midfielder in within budget. If he can't get both in within budget then I'd guess he'll be looking for a loan deal to fill one of those positions. In an ideal world we'd loan a centre half with a view to Galloway and / or Browning stepping up a notch in 2016/17, but life doesn't always work out like that.

There has to be some loan defenders about - I'm unsure who but a playmaker is so important for us and if Bobby doesn't buy one we could be in for another tough season.

Can we loan Ramos please Real? lol

It just gets worse , Yarmalenko closing in on 13.5 mil switch to Stoke , hopefully this one ends in tears like Konoplyanka and Shaqiri. We really do need to get a move on for this creative player.

FFS like Shaqiri all over. And see how that worked out. Again, IF Yarmalenko was THAT good all the top clubs would be in for him. And, who's to say we're not? People need to chill the fock out !

 

[Mouth of Martinez]

On his day Mirallas is easily our best player, he can turn games in our favour by himself, when he is 1 v 1 I bet he will score, great finisher. However the problem is that he blows hot and cold and doesn't have a level of consistency. I feel as if Deulofeu pushed him 2 seasons back and he performed slightly better and I hope the same happens this season, especially that Deulofeu is supposed to be better this time around.

Mirallas needs replacing if he is to go and it's seeing as his potential replacements are all moving or speaking out early. Mertens (Stay at Napoli) Shaqiri (stay at inter) Perisic (move to inter) Konoplyanka (Sevilla) and Yarmelenko (possible Stoke lol)

 

[bluestevon]

Would take Yarmolenko in a heartbeat for anything under £16m, we'd still need the playmaker type though as him, Del and Mirralas are all make something happen types rather than providers, but would make a bloody exciting lineup

Mertens is the one playmaker we have been linked with who is natural at the role, Shaqiri is another of those types i stated just before rather than a natural number 10

 

[Greek Fisherman]

If a player of Yarmolenko's quality is genuinely looking to sign for a club like Stoke.... Martinez will have written his own epitaph if we miss out.

Martinez rumoured to be mulling over his character , same said with Shaqiri too

Isn't he a winger, we need a attacking central midfielder

That Belgian journalist on Twitter said we enquired nothing more.

 

[meagher94]

Any chance we can actually be linked with someone today rather than our players being linked with moves away?

 

[barneygumble]

It's just boring now.

McCarthy £15m, Stones £20m, Mirallas 12m?

Are they having a laugh? I know the stones story had some legs, but at least make the rumours credible, we were going to pay £8m for Evans who's in the same boat as Mirallas, but will let him leave for less? Please.

 

[Jags..class]

Miralles will be sold this summer unless he about to sign a new contract.

 

[Lee Smith]

Has Mirallas got 1 or 2 years left on his contract? I thought it was 1, but that we had an option of an additional year, so effectively it's 2?
