Summer Transfer Thread 2015

[Horus]

I concur if he was swimming you wouldn't do it nonces.

 

You wot mate?

[Harry Squatter]

Looks like we aren't getting Kovacic, off to Real Madrid for 21 million. Might get irralamendi now though.

[Paco]

Kovacic to madrid

Kovacic to madrid

 

 

If he starts ahead of Isco, Kroos or Modric I'll be shocked. Terrible career move for Kovacic.

Modric is 30 and picked up a number of injuries last season.   He'll get plenty of football.

[Trumo]

Brad Jones has signed for Bradford on a one-year deal. For a club claiming to want to be amongst the elite, we don't half have a track record for filling our squad with players who are of no interest to clubs in the top 2 divisions.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Must be tough to judge a back up keeper who rarely plays thoughs.

 

His highlights reel probably includes school matches.

[Bjornebye]

How many top class Norwegians have their been in the last 50 years?

Our best ever left back was Norwegian.

 

Ahem.

Riise was shit and ginger

He was always ginger but not always shit.

Was a joke.

 

Still pissed on stig

[Gym Beglin]

We'll regret not getting Kovacic, he looks fucking boss. That said, it does beg the question about the future of Isco, Kroos, Modric and Rodriguez.

 

Kovacic is nothing like Illaramendi.

[El Dangerous]

To be fair other than sketchy foreign newspapers there's no indication that we were even remotely interested in Kovacic or Illllllaramendi. It's super Joe Allen or bust.

[Harry Squatter]

One.

Anders Breivik was good at long rang shooting and close finishing.

[skend04]

Sakho may well be off according to The Guardian. But not to panic, we've got Lovren.

[G Richards]

If Sakho goes that will be a shame as he is much better than Lovren. If he does go it has to be for good money. No loans. Then perhaps bump Ilori up the batting order and hopefully get a look at him. And Gomez looks like he's been playing at the top for a long time, even though he's only had two Prem games. This assumes no other central defender comes in. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I've said it before, but when you overstock in one position, it's rarely the best player who accepts the rotation, and it's them rather than the worst who head for the door.

 

It happened at AM with Sterling, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Sakho go this window.

[Dr Nowt]

Sakho's gone, for me.

 

We obviously need to recoup some more money and it's the same old same old of not being able to shift the shite, so we will end up selling a player or two we need in the squad.

 

In Sakho's case, one who should be in the team.

[magicrat]

If they sell Sakho they should be fucking shot , Lovren is a complete spastic that should be nowhere near the team 

[Turkish Delight]

If Sakho goes I hope we have someone lined up or we will regret it. We were fairly solid tonight but got too deep at times and better teams will punish us.

 

We don't have a defensive leader and that needs to change especially with young players in the team.

 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Whether replacing Sakho this window, or just projecting forward 12 months, our next few signings need to be top drawer experienced leaders.

 

Goalie, centre half, central midfield. Add some steel and some serious quality into the spine of our team.

We ain't going to be able to replace Sakho this window.  Decent CB's are at a premium as Chelsea's pursuit of Stones demonstrates. It would be absolutely mental to let Sakho go at the end of the window hoping Gomez can fill in when the inevitable happens and Lovren shits his pants.  Alternatively we could rely on the 73 year old Kolo Toure to roll back the years .I am genuinely angry at this prospect . Normally at my advanced age I can manage a few short rants before forgetting what I was pissed about but the club have really touched a nerve if this is true. FSG out.

[The Golden Eel]

Sell Sakho?  Why don't we just throw in Coutinho for free while we're at it?

[billypilgrimnz]

Maybe Rodgers can finally get Ashley Williams in.

[El Dangerous]

I'd take that cunt Williams in place of Kolo even though I do have a soft spot for the big bear but no way would I replace Sakho with him.

 

If we sign another CB, which I doubt we will, it'll be a youngster with potential again. Personally, I'd keep Sakho until January at least, if he's committed to leaving, and give Ilori a go then see what's on the table in the next window.
