Summer Transfer thread - 2024

[Zomb]

Son and Richy definitely aren't complete but unless you are aware of some upcoming new R9, then that's probably 65m less for 2 new wide players and a 10

That Lisbon 9 is a player, great touch and strength

 

[Starks]

Always looks dangerous to me. Lightweight but glides and opens the game up

I think he's a good player, liked him at Leeds.

But he's not much of a dribbler. Which is something we desperately need.

 

[Richard Arlison]

And then people moan about him being reckless.

Not me.

But you can be a mean bastard and not reckless. Right now he’s nice and that’s much much worse

That's still north of 50m so wouldn't be a priority for me

 

[Zomb]

50M+ is cheap for a 9. If we can get him for 70M, do it. I think you have to balance priority positions and high potential players. Shift Richy for 40M and 70M is fine….. even if he doesn’t score 20 PL goals, that touch and strength add a lot IMO

I do concur it’s not a priority position

We've got to interested in Toney. The boy has a bit of everything and defenders must hate him. He's strong, reasonably quick, great technique, can rough up defenders, great hold up play with vision to play in others and scores all sorts of goals. Would even be good at set pieces both ends.

He’s the best all round centre forward in the league. He’s very good at everything and centre backs will hate playing against him. I think he is different class.

 

[Cranston]

With Woolwich supposedly ruling themselves out and Toney adamant to leave, I do wonder...

He isn't going to go United. He isn't going to go City. Liverpool don't need a striker. Who the fuck would go to Chelsea?

Where else is there for him? Abroad? Can't see it.

Newcastle?

 

[nicoclaesen]

W don't need a striker that can drop deep though. i do agree he's better than Watkins but without penalties he's never been a 1 in 2 striker and never scored 20 league goals in a top league. He's what? 29? Has never been and never will be an elite striker. He's a very good one but that's as far as it goes. Plus he's complete weapon and is likely to bet against his own team, even when he's playing.

He’s just turned 28. He can drop deep,peel off into wider areas and play on the shoulder. He’s an all rounder that would score and create for us. That’s the missing link along with better wide players

 

[Starks]

Newcastle?

If they sell Isak, maybe.

 

[nicoclaesen]

Williams
Kvara
Leao
Are the wingers we should aim for to take us up a level

Frimpong for the rwb option for his pace is solid. Isn't he homegrown too.

For cm we need someone who can hold the ball and whip in good passes that wolves midfielder is solid the brazil one gomes or eze

We won't get all of them but a top few will change us

We won’t get any of them. Every one will be £100 million plus and we all know we won’t spend that on one player.

 

[nicoclaesen]

Wonder who the perfect no6 is for us.

Any ideas?

Kimmich

 

[Airfixx]

Newcastle?

With FFP; that would pretty much guarantee they had to sell Isak.

Forgot about Isak. Good player.

I don’t like Toney. I think he’s a complete bellend. But he’s obviously very talented. I suspect our interest will be entirely dependent on his wage demands.

According to popular opinion; Ange STs need to be quick and press loads.

If that's true then we'd just be targeting Toney thru convenience which would be a question-mark in terms of our scouting.

Don’t think Isak is a realistic target even if Newcastle has to sell.

There’s still a lot of work to do with this squad. Son and Richy are more than capable to handle striker roles.

The priorities should be LW, LB, and RB.

 

[Zomb]

He still finds space and creates chances. Him or Doku (who is a dribbler)?

 

[Airfixx]

Don’t think Isak is a realistic target even if Newcastle has to sell.

They'll seek to sell in other ways and probably just ship a few fringe nobodies out to Suadi for 100m.

There’s still a lot of work to do with this squad. Son and Richy are more than capable to handle striker roles.

The priorities should be LW, LB, and RB.

When you look at who's likely to leave it's clear what our focus should be:

Perisic (already gone)
Gil
Solomon (?)
Werner (may not renew)
PEH
GLC (?)

 

[Brian Fantana]

With FFP; that would pretty much guarantee they had to sell Isak.

I think he’d go up a level instantly in our team. Bit concerned the scum are sniffing around him to be fair.

 

[Kaz Hirai]

What's Amadou Onana like on those?

Definitely someone we should be looking at

Was thinking the same, decent attributes, good work rate. Young enough at 22 to improve
Could be cheap if Everton are relegated

Ultimately though hopefully pat finds a gem from one of the other leagues
