Transfer Window Thread

[Alex17]

Just said on Talk Sport that Palace had a bid accepted for him..

They just signed Wickham

 

[Raino85]

I agree with the healthy dose of skepticism here, as should be applied to any everton rumour...

...but the Premier League managers' summit was several days ago.

Bobby said to the summit you will have to be patient for me to arrive

Why are people speculating on Austin being a backup or even playing alongside Lukaku.

If we signed him he'd be competition and on rotation...

 

[navidson]

Why would we spend 15m on a backup striker?

Ever heard of competition for places? Lukaku shouldn't be a guaranteed starter

Maybe Martinez will throw a real curveball and play 2 strikers at some point during the season rather than 2 defensive midfielders in EVERY GAME

That must've got a phenomenal reception.

 

[evo1878]

Are we actually thinking we are going to sign Charlie Austin because someone put up a photo of Martinez supposedly in London?

Martinez was in London. But then so was every other PL manager cos they all have a meeting every year just before the start of the season. So I reckon by that logic it means Austin could be going to one of 20 clubs?

So we'd bench rom for him? We don't have nearly as many matches as last year

Well, he was in a good moment

For Roberto nah, dont believe that

 

[marty mcfly]

I was sure he will end up at Newcastle, but since they signed that Mitrovic fella, I don't know what other options he has. What other team really need a striker? Possibly Man United, but I think they'll go for a bigger name than Austin. Spurs or Southampton perhaps?

Chelsea need a backup striker.

Finally realised Kone isn't good enough?

 

[Zatara]

Of course, rotation to keep all in top form.

[Kantareller]

Maybe Man Utd want to buy Lukaku?

Don't think they're too interested in that giant blob.

 

[bitter-no-better]

We got a good deal for 3.8m British pounds.

 

[Great Dane]

Austin would be fantastic - keeping my fingers crossed.
