Summer 2015 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

[Benjamin]

Mayuka left Southampton.

 

[Boltonspur]

expect most deals in and outside to be sorted by end of day but possible announcements tomorrow.

Seeing as the window closes at 6pm tomorrow, it's a fair bet he's right...

leverkusen fan was on here saying that Son is not the strongest in holding off defenders and never played as CF (they have Kiessling)

N'Jie has always been a wide forward and just look at the lad he isn't built to play centrally he's skinny as shit

Chadli was always an attacking midfielder or wide forward at twente and with us

So please some of you that are saying they can play there back it up with something.

• Fuck me. Whos left for the DM role?
  and also why the fuck can't I fix my post 2 be normal?

 

[Murphy]

I think it will -- another Ben Davies effect. Force an obviously talented Walker to up his game.

Naughton is pony and everyone except Yedlin could see that Yedlin was never going to get a game, so having an actual alternative is surely going to either have an effect or force him out of the team. He hasn't exactly been on top form so far though...

Loving the bullet point mate. Don't change it.

 

[Joe Clash]

It kills me when people say that. Given that service to Kane has been an issue it might not be a bad idea to play Trippier right now, but that doesn't mean that he's better than Walker. So many people fail to understand that certain people do better in certain systems. Right now Walker isn't doing remarkably well in this system, but there's no way I'll concede that Trippier is a better all around player.

He gets a lot more crosses in than Walker. I think that's why people say that. I don't think anyone is failing to understand anything - Kane is an excellent header of the ball - it makes sense to get more crosses in to him.

Deadline Day: [refresh][refresh][refresh][refresh] fuck, god dammit [refresh][refresh][refresh][refresh][refresh][refresh]

It looks like you are about to tell us your opinion as a Powerpoint-presentation.

 

[gibbs131]

But.. it's deadline day and we have ONE recognized, dedicated CF

This has become your "Two points from eight games".

 

[Buggot]

One of two groups of Son smileys. Admin


1. I call it :sonyoudontsay:

Use it when someone speaks teh obvious

2. :sonnotagain:

Used when sammy starts an argument again (no offence)

3. LAstly, :sonrage:

Used 24/7 by TFC Melts and when we lose on a rainy day away at Stoke. I'll make about 2 or 3 more later.

[Audere]

if that joke is anything to go by, im not certain you are capable of shitting your own pants without any assistance, let alone buying a ticket

Ha ha. Love it. You reply to my joke saying its shit and come back with your own jokes.

Top bantz

Brilliant stuff mate. Keep it up!

 

[Crockett]

WTF? 10 goals a season doesn't mean someone has scored 10 goals some random season, what is wrong with you?

George fucking Best scores 10 goals a season then. Jesus.

His liver was the size of a walnut when he died you know.

No, I've had countless people tweet me saying things along the lines of: Walker really isn't very good at all.

 

[Benjamin]

Odds for Sunderland to sign Townsend have gone from 6/4 to 6/1.

 

[Joe Clash]

No, I've had countless people tweet me saying things along the lines of: Walker really isn't very good at all.

Well that's as maybe, but there is a very good case for starting with Trippier for the reason I stated. I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say you will never concede that Walker is inferior to Trippier - his crossing is vastly superior. Why so dogmatic?

 

[gibbs131]

Walker was a phenomenon when he had his breakthrough season and had each and every one of us dreaming of what could be. He hasn't been able to follow through on that potential IMO. A lack of a credible contest for his position and a run of poor injuries have really affected him, but he looks a liability to me every time we play.

Player v Player he probably excels in each aspect against Trippier, but the lad created loads of chances for Burnley; and that's something we could surely benefit from. And if nothing else, it might make Walker up his game.

With Dembele out, I think both should play. Trippier had a dozen league assists in one season. Last season he had more assists in the prem than our wingers. He also had some of the top crossing stats in the prem last season.

I think Poch is missing a trick not playing Rose and Trippier as wingers.

 

[SouthStand Billy]

Day off tomorrow.. Watch all the over hyped fun from start to finish.. Reckon we'll get 3 in.

Wonder what time we'll see that attention seeking Prick Jim White and his stupid fucking yellow tie..

 

[Crockett]

Do you also see 3 points from 12 as a a good start to the season

And do you also see the existing squad capable of challenging the top 4

Also, I`d be interested to know what you would have considered a poor transfer window

Think of it as 1 point behind Chelsea after 4 games.

Son has played as a striker for Korea, N'Jie was used as a second striker behind Lacazette, although he was more often a wide forward, and Chadli has been used as a second striker by us in a 4-4-2 this year, for parts of matches, and was also asked to play as striker in a friendly, which is not the largest amount of evidence. The point being more that Pochettino has an idea of these guys as being versatile, and that he values that. He also has said that he wants another striker, but that he doesn't know if he can get one.
