Summer Transfers 2014

[Section_31]

Really?

 

Nobody?

Bueler?

[Aldonose]

To pay £20 million for a striker he would be someone who you'd expect to play a fair bit. If Bony played for us, we'd have to totally change how we play. I just don't see it happening. The manager bought Lambert as a plan b. I just don't see us signing him unless we're about to change how we play.

[JermainePennant]

I see everyone is desperate for a striker but I think a top attacking midfielder would be a bigger benefit to us.

 

If we don't get a proven one we are relying on a young player in sterling to continue his consistency from last season, coutinho to start showing some and markovic a young player to hit the ground running.

 

Sanchez would have been the perfect option and I would like us to keep looking for this kind of player.

I think we've already bought our idea of a top midfielder....Adam Lallana.

Sanchez is not a 'top attacking midfielder', he's one of those that is ideal as one of the wide forwards in a front three. I agree that we need to look for somebody in that role who can offer a goal threat, and ideally I'd prefer that somebody to have a bit of experience rather than be yet another highly talented 20 year old. Younger players will develop better if they have a few more experienced heads around them. Not an 'old' player as such but somebody approaching their so-called peak years. Remy wouldn't have been my top choice but he does fit the criteria I've mentioned.

We still need atleast one top proven one Imo.

 

Markovic Coutinho Sterling

Lallana

 

I rate Ibe very highly but I think a loan is best for him next season, Suso I also think the same.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

We need a forward.

 

If they're cheap-ish, it doesn't matter if they're limited to playing as a traditional number nine as they'd be rotated in as cover for Sturridge. However, if we're paying £20m  - as touted for Bony - you'd expect someone who'd be playing most games and capable of slotting in anywhere across the front line.

I should have said attacking midfielder/wide player whichever we could get that's world class,agree with everything you said and someone like Reus would be the dream but very unlikely.

[Red Banjo]

Reus.

 

It's just too obvious.

 

Which means it will never ever happen.

Prices are nuts now though. 20m for a striker who can score 20+ goals a season is cheap these days. Ross McCormack was 11m ! Sunderland want to pay us 14m for Borini.

[El Dangerous]

With Origi to come in next season there's no way we sign two strikers, at a push we might loan one but I'd say it is more likely that we get an out and out striker and maybe a wide forward if an opportunity presents it's self.

[Paco]

we ll make a move a move fir someone that only a few will have heard of like diego costa or mkitaryan last summer or konoplyanka in january. hope we get another attacker. sturridge lambert and remy I woulda been happy with but sturridge and lambert I should say oy brendan no.

I would rather have that than one player who can play a couple of positions. Bony and someone like Konoplyanka  would do me.

[magicrat]

There seems to be an assumption Moreno is a done deal and it's all about a striker now

I want to see Ayre nail that deal first

[Lee909]

We should have been all over that deal Imo and if we end up with bony Ill be devastated.

 

Tony bellew posted a pic on twitter the day Everton signed him with a list of players and their league goals by the age of 21, Lukaku leads the list ahead of some top players like neymar, eto and I think even messi amongst other big names.

 

When 33 of them goals have been in Belgium compared to the likes of Fowler,Owen etc that scored in England and the fact the list was current players only id take it with a pinch of salt

 

Lukaku 65 in 149(33 in Belgium)

Fowler 65 in 108

Relax, Ayre's got this ;)

True, prices are inflated, and £20m for a striker capable of 20 goals a season isn't a bad deal. The issue with Bony is whether he suits us though. We'd be paying for a player who arguably doesn't match our style of play, wouldn't get the games centrally to hit anywhere near 20 goals, and doesn't operate well enough out wide. In that light, £20m looks steep.

[JoeyJones65]

If we are paying at least £20m for a much needed forward, surely we should be looking for a better option than a guy who by his own admission "doesn't do running"?

 

Can't imagine a worse buy given our style of play.

Any quotes for this?

[Major Tom]

Cloggy, are you related to Bony?

[cloggypop]

No mate. I have just seen him play.

 

Who should we buy Tom?

[Red Banjo]

These Hummels rumours are pissing me off. If it's true Dortmund will only do business if we loan them Llori, I hope to God we are working on a deal to loan him to Spain immediately.

 

Big players only go to Champions League clubs. Yeah. Fuck off.

[Captain Turdseye]

What was that story about Shaqiri earlier, favouriting a tweet in which someone said Rodgers should be looking at bringing him here? I'd be fucking made up with that, he wouldn't cost too much either by the sounds of it. Boss little player.

Hummels isn't going to Man U. Both him and Kopp have said he isn't leaving.
