Transfers Summer Transfer Thread 2023! - Closed (Maybe)

[Richard Arlison]

Strawman?

Yup.

Whatever…

Fact is, there is nowhere near enough movement on the same deadwood in the squad that have outlived 4 managers now.

Enough is enough.

Sell them or take the loss and cut them loose. The squad needs a full rebuild. Ange has had a look, the tour ended and the season started but they are still here preventing the club from bringing new players in…

 

[Starks]

I'd say he could play in similar way to Bernardo Silva at City, who even though not a winger, does play on the right for them, or sometimes in an 8 role. Kudus is a really good dribbler.

But he's not a winger we need in this system.

He'd be competing with Maddison as the 8 almost exclusively.

The likes of Doku, Solomon, Nico Williams etc are the right profile for what we need. Not Kudus. And I like him.

 

[Oracle]

He wants a release clause

Fine by me

 

[TomHotspur]

If Brighton want him he must be good.

He’s very good. And Ajax are willing to sell.

I think he’d be a great signing. Absolutely no solid links to him though unfortunately.

Yep let’s get Kudus and Orban . In January and February both of those and Bissouma and Starr will be at ACON.

 

[nicoclaesen]

Apparently he has 3 cells combined, cuts garlic with a razor blade and has regular deliveries of tomato’s, meat and Parmigiano-Reggiano, whilst listening to Pavarotti

Where have I seen that before

Orban, I can understand. He actually suits the system.

Kudus really doesn't. He's pure Football manager fantasy. We aren't going to sign anyone to compete with Maddison whilst we have Lo Celso (and yes, Kudus is better than Lo Celso)

 

[Murphy]

I was just kidding. I really miss the Moose. Getting him back would be a dream come true.

He retired mate

[Aimson]

Other teams don’t charge over the odds when they need to shift players.

Levy is doing this as an excuse not to spend more this window

Click to shrink...

Some strategy that, keep deadwood on the books so he doesnt have to spend the money they would bring in on players who most likely would be on lower salaries aswell.

 

[To Dare Is To Do.]

No-one's "pretending" anything; but you seem oblivious to the connotations of the tweet you posted and what your re-post suggests of your opinon.

..............Not a million miles away from when you quote me and use it is a platform to say something else.

Hardly a cardinal sin; but no-one's to know that you're on your own tangent, mate.

Click to shrink...

I would have wanted Caicedo or Rice if either had been open to the move, but it was unrealistic.
Thus I think targeting a few quality signings between 40m-60m makes sense for rest of window.

Atm we’re still on -£2m net spend on new players. Rivals spending hundreds of millions.

Doku's clearly going to City, and there's been zero noise on Williams, so either he doesn't want to leave Bilbao of their price is prohibitive.

 

[Airfixx]

Whatever…

I responded to your silly conspiracy about purposely not selling players to avoid spending.......

What do you want me to say if all you respond with is a generic Levy-moan that doesn't do anything to substantiate your OG claim?

Regardless of any line in the sand that you (as a fan) wished to draw; you may have convinced yourself that's what's happening, but the simple fact is we have 2 1/2 weeks left to complete our business.

 

[Hampshire Spur]

Apparently lukaku will snub us to go to juventus according to corriere dello sport. Thanks lukaku, we really appreciate you doing that. We can breathe a sigh of relief.

I know that.

Just pointing out the profile we need as our wingers. Neither of which are in any way similar to Kudus.

Gnonto however, is a pretty great fit.

I didn't contest the idea that we should sign more players.
