Summer Transfer thread - 2024

[Matt1882]

I recenty found out that Norman Hunter died of Covid in 2020.

So did Deebo
Sort of. Like most people who died from covid it was the straw that broke the donkies back.

If you're not a 90's kid, Deebo is Tommy "Tiny" Lister. One of the last people you'd expect to die from nasty flu.

This account called a bunch of things early. Especially on the Gray/Rodon deals

Maybe this is BS, maybe there is an offer and the club and player aren’t fully against it

I could have predicted this tbf. All the public apologies etc are just for THFC. The players may feel very differently to the words they spoke.

Tell me the striker market sucks without telling me the striker market sucks.

Already talking ourselves into players like Toney and Solanke.

Lol I get your point but Solanke has improved so much the last few years. I think he gets 25-30 G/As in this team.

 

[Richard Arlison]

I think for those prices for those player, I'd rather just stick with Richarlison until someone great becomes available.

If we sign another WF then Son will be the striker again this season imo with Richy as the rotation

I don’t see a world where we sign a senior WF and 9.

 

[Cranston]

If it's guaranteed then it's not earned

It’s earned by their performances to date and a commitment to develop them.

I obviously get your point, but an exceptionally talented player has every right to expect the club, including the manager, to see the player as part of the first team and immediately involved.

This doesn’t have to be an arrogant assumption. Simply an upfront commitment by both parties.

It’s one to watch.

I doubt this is Son or Lolo pushing a transfer because they fell out over it.

More likely Bentancur has offers and we are considering them because of his contract.

If Bentancur does go then we go hard for Ramsey imo

I think we’ve clearly told Gray and Bergvall they are part of the first team and they will be involved.

What they haven’t been told is they are guaranteed to start. I guess there is grey area (sorry) in the space between what is implied and what the player believes they can get based on who is in the squad.

If I’m Gray I look at our CMs and RBs and I like my chances

 

[Richard Arlison]

Bentancur

 

[tommyboyspurs]

Bentancur

Ah gotcha

 

[Richard Arlison]

Lol I get your point but Solanke has improved so much the last few years. I think he gets 25-30 G/As in this team.

Been thinking about this. I like Solanke for us better than Toney.

I don’t like him for that price at that age.

On balance, I wouldn’t do it.

Laugh Out Loud. Out.
Lou Only Lived Once?

Only if we sell Solomon and/or Richarlison. Its still why i dont get the logic in bringing Werner back. We currently have 7 players for 3 positions and other than a 32 yr old Son are any really good enough?

I can hold out on a striker if we want a really good one but the options being shit this window is delaying it till next season perhaps.

think we need a winger more personally this window

 

[Richard Arlison]

Completely agree. But Sonny at 23 wasn’t a few levels above Johnson. Let’s see how Johnson develops.

We still doing this huh?

You know that I agree with you on this mate

 

[Richard Arlison]

I have no issue with a young player looking to move to a team that will guarantee his development.

There are plenty of PL teams where playtime is not ‘earned’, rather given based on who is in favour with the manager.

Guaranteed development is a 2 way thing and doesn't exist.

We signed Sessegnon with him having prioritized development but thanks to injuries and his performances, ut didn't work out.

I would say Bergvall and Gray are like Udogie and Sarr in that they have been told their development will be prioritized by us. Nobody is guaranteed anything at a big club.

I guess that grey area in the language is where the 2 of us can be saying the same thing but a player could hear different things....

 

[punky]

I bet U DHgate ones will

Will make the knock offs easier to spot

I like the new training kit and it's a shame about the sponsor. It looks a bit plain without it, like it's a knock off, ironically.

 

[The Mercurial No.10]

Skriniar wanted PSG

Player won.

Player transferred to PSG years after we were 'in' for him.

 

[Skippa18]

Been thinking about this. I like Solanke for us better than Toney.

I don’t like him for that price at that age.

On balance, I wouldn’t do it.

I think he's at a good age as he's matured as a player, Still should have a good 4-5 seasons at this level. with good planning we should be having a good young striker contributing too in the coming years.

I think 50-60m is the rate for good CF. The next level up and we start hitting the 80-100m forwards and we all know we ain't paying that.

 

[punky]

The market is bonkers now sadly.

Remember when Bale to Madrid for 80 ml was seen as hard to top?

That was 11 years ago. Even with just regular inflation that's worth £109m now
