Summer Transfer Thread 2015

[Major Tom]

Having seen what 20 mil gets us, god only knows what a bargain looks like.

Speaking of fucking abysmal hair, I wonder if Griezmann went into the barbers and told them he'd like to look like an agitated Snowy Egret.

Given that I still like Griezmann despite that, it's impressive.

[Cardie]

Fair comment.

 

With good fortune on our side, we can tilt at the top four and title, but normally we will be FFP victims, not beneficiaries.

 

Our money needs to be in top scouting and a manager with a global reach, not annual punts on Carlos Kickaball.

How does a manager prove global reach?

 

Your assumption seems to be that a young manager from England will stick primarily to English players and players they know while young managers from elsewhere will search every corner of the world for players.

 

I've seen Frank De Boer's name mentioned in this context yet you look at his transfer record and it's overwhelmingly in favour of the Dutch league with the odd Scandinavian player thrown on for good measure.

Is Depay better than Sterling? I haven't seen him play...

[El Dangerous]

A forceful transfer approach? Chedwyn is imminent.

[chrisbonnie]

I reckon I have a bigger chance of suckling on Kelly Brooks left nipple than we do of signing this Dutch lad.

 

Pure paper nonsense.

[eeyore]

What other strikers are out there then seeing as we are probably missing out on lacazette, dybala and vietto with no champions league

 

[Phoenix]

Depay flying into Manchester Airport to hold talks with us apparently. I imagine as soon as the Mancs make an offer he will jump at the chance.

Danny Ings....

Danny Ings....

Spiffing

[Paco]

depay sounds a bit like balotelli.

 

apparently he drives about in a flash motor with his big pitbull type dog in the passenger seat.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Feels good knowing Ayre has got this.

[eeyore]

Anyone watch much of paco alcacer? Seems to be the only rated young striker not linked with any big boys

[Phoenix]

Shame Angel Correa has been out most of the season due to his heart problems. I think he would be perfect for the premier league. 

 

He is going to be a star  if his injuries dont get in the way.

[M_B]

So that article states that Depay flew into Manchester and met up with Ayre. That doesn't sound right - what is the point in that? His agent can meet Ayre, the player doesn't need to.

What's going on with Morata and Icardi? Or even Jese?

I think you may have made a contemporary cultural reference, and therefore I do not know what you are talking about, sadly.

The Dutch league has fuck all money in it so Ajax's best bet is their Academy and the Dutch/Belgian/Scandinavian market. They're hardly going to attract players from the top 5 leagues.

 

If we've got £100m+ to spend in a summer why waste half of it on mid-table Premier League players? The Premier League is a really shit market to buy from, unless you're Barcelona or Real Madrid and buy the best player in it (Suarez), or you're buying a player clubs want to sell and get a good deal (Sturridge).

Icardi strong linked with chelsea

[Lee909]

Dont worry we are neing linked with another Italian who is gailing elsewhere.

 

Cant remember the lads name Immobile or something at Dortmund
