Transfer Window Thread

[BlueToff]

Imagine if Deulofeu plays anywhere near well enough to inspire Barca to consider taking that buy-back option... to play his way into contention for a starting place in Barca's midfield...

Yeh we'd have to have got top 4 and him to have scored 15 and assisted about 20.

It is not about the player they have bought, it is about the money they have spent. How can Crystal Palace be spending more money than Everton? It is a joke.

ah sorry mate my mistake, you are right. didn't realise the window had closed.

August 5th is my fume date.

I'm concerned now!

Or they buy him back and sell him on?

I think we'll move for a forward on loan. Probably on deadline day.

But he has a lot of faith in The Kone Man , sorted.

Surly even if the sky money isn't due we could still spend as it's guaranteed....

 

[By god I'm blue]

I'm concerned now!

we have had all summer to improve the squad, 1 week until the first game, not good enough, no ambition.

Just the same as waiting for your giro and lending on the strength.

this is what i always though. i don't know enough about finances and i don't think martinez is desperate atm when he feels we desperately need to spend £25m etc. right now.

let's be honest, our team right now should be good enough to beat watford anyway, so as long as we have that playmaker by the 2nd game i'm happy.

 

[TheCount]

Jesus, you are Bill's wet dream!

Nar, I don't like him.

I'm saying spend whatever we have on a striker ( who could poss play number 10). Hopefully about £15m.

 

[Nymzee]

Pato is still only 25 - not even in his prime yet. Take him all day long me. Anything that isn't "Lukaku off, Kone coming on".

Almost 1 in 2 for Milan that lad so can do it in Europe.

Yeah we can, it's not as if we transfer the money instantly to the selling club as soon as a deal is agreed.

 

[Furey1878]

I can't wait to see us sign Pato, the crowd fuming on him when he doesn't challenge for headers, he scores a worldy, then gets injured.

I'm struggling with your thinking here chaps. Galloway and Browning would surely benefit from being out on loan: making 40 starts in the Championship has got to be better for their development than sitting on our bench every week, getting ten minutes every fifth or sixth game. To facilitate this, we need to bring in a 3rd CB. If the 3rd CB is going to be useful, and is intended to play semi-regulalrly, he needs to be better than Jonny Evans. Equally, if the 3rd CB is NOT intended to play much at all, then why the fudge would you spend £8m on him?

Evans on loan as 3rd CB I would be ok with ( presuming Stones stays). Evans as a starter? No thank you. Evans as a permanent transfer? No thank you.

Distin / Alcatraz played almost 40 games last year didnt they.

Say one of Browning, Galloway gets 20. Would that be better for their development than 40 championship games?
