Summer 2019 transfer thread

[snowkarl]

Surely I’m not the only one thinking the lion knows his stuff and we got something lined up for 7pm? ochfacepalm:

If anyone believed a word he said they should be thrown out in the wild for a month to prove they deserve to continue living in civilized society

 

[nigel6305]

Son and Dele not strikers then?

No they are not LMAO...

 

[Totti]

Unless I missed something Liverpool didn't bother strengthening? So we should at least cut the gap down on them this season.

Pretty much.

We got absolutely lambasted by pundits last season for not strengthening our line up or squad - yet Liverpool have pretty much done the EXACT same thing this year. (Bar goalkeeper depth) yet will probably get the likes of:

"How do you strengthen this team?"
"Who do you replace?"

etc etc

 

[sammyspurs]

I don't get this issue with the full backs. We have 3 left backs including 2 full internationals and an England under 21 international (ok Rose might leave but I hope not). Two of those play good attacking wing back roles and Davies is a good solid left back. At right back we also have 3 - a young full Argentine international who clearly has convinced Poch that he is good enough, the Ivory Coast captain and a good young England under 20 international. Two of these also play in the attacking wing back role and (hopefully) Foyth will be a solid right back.
Personally I like Aurier - if he stays I hope he gets a run in the team to prove that his early potential can be proved. If not then I seem to recall the oft repeated mantra 'give the youngsters a chance'.
The strength we now have is in depth of squad and quality in that depth. If we keep Eriksen so much the better. The only one position where we struggle with depth is a true Centre Forward - but Kane isn't a true centre forward and whoever we had bought in would have required a shift in tactics to replace him in games. So why not stick with the mix of Son, Moura, Alli that we used successfully last season .
A good transfer window that has increased our squad depth and quality in my view.

We are definitely weaker at RB as we sold our best RB.
Having said that though, full backs are a myth.

Name one world class full back in the PL....there are no Marcelo’s or Lahm’s in any of the top 6. It’s an extremely average bunch and none of big PL clubs would struggle overly if any of their full backs got injured, possibly Liverpool due to the absolute dog shit back up they have there.

 

[Fattynomates]

so Anyone else booking tickets to Turkey in May?

 

[Tottenham Sean]

Really. We don't need a right back or striker... you can really be happy with either aurier or kwp..

Whilst he's a bit young to put a lot of pressure on, i think Parrot will feature more than most realise this season.

 

[Bazali]

About 110 mill actually. We are loaning Lo Celso for 15 mill until next summer

And if we sell Eriksen for 50 mill and add that to our other sales we will have a net spend this window of around 20-30 mill.

he's done it again

He’s brilliant

 

[Oracle]

Where’s that Ezequiel cunt?

Just realised this meme actually looks like him

 

[Fattynomates]

If anyone believed a word he said they should be thrown out in the wild for a month to prove they deserve to continue living in civilized society

Called the Ndombele with exact figure months before anyone else, said we we get lo Celso and Sessengon months ago....

 

[Bazali]

1 City
2 Spurs
3 Pool
4 Woolwich
5-9 some combo of United, Chelsea, Everton, Wolves, Leicester

Go 4-9 with that combo and we will be close to Shitty

8.5/10 for me.

Addressed the biggest issue from last season by signing Ndombele, who we all wanted, and Lo Celso. Sessengon is very exciting under Poch. Would have been a 10 if we had got a top draw right back in.

Happy with the outgoings, as long as Eriksen and Alderweireld stay. But easier said than done with contract situations.

Keep forgetting we signed Ndomebele

 

[scott]

Now the top two left backs in England are Scottish

Typical Scotland luck. You only got 2 good players & they both play in the same position.

 

[Fattynomates]

He is alive!

 

[Larry David]

dumb question... Sept next month? as in he'll sign a contract to play next season? is that within a window or can he do that while playing for us?

As in Spain, Germany and Italy windows are open till 1st sept I believe

 

[Bazali]

Welease Woger.

Bwing out Bawabas
lol

 

[The Mercurial No.10]

Heavily linked with a loan to Charlton, which could still happen AFAIK.

 

[snowkarl]

Wow he echoed the most common transfer rumors.. he also said 10 other players had already had their medicals

 

[VAR]

7:00 announcement

 

[Bazali]

Not replacing Lukaku, who despite being a bad fit still scored almost 1 goal in 2, is going to come back to bite them.

But they’ve got Slabhead for £80 million
