Summer 2017 Transfer Thread

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Salah has come on as a player and has added an end product. Doubt they would sell and he plays mainly on Mane's side.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Oxlade-Chamberlain just went off with a injury in the game vs Southampton. Looked like the hamstring. If he'll be out for 4-8 weeks I doubt we'll go for him. It's just too much risk in paying 20-25M for someone that looks to be injured most of the time.

This is sort of how I feel too.

 

Unlike others, I am actually a big fan of AOC, I thinnk he'd be perfect for us in that Wijnaldum / Lallana role, giving us pace and power and a physical presence. Not such a fan of his further forward though.

 

My brother had an interesting observation of the lad too, he said he's got all the attributes you could wish for in a top player...but his passing is crap. Not sure tbh.

 

For the prices quoted though, I'd pass.

[Ne Moe Imya]

salah is not as good as mane. where the comparison comes from i don't know. but i haven't seen salah seen he left chavs to be honest.

 

So he's not that good, but you haven't seen him play.

 

Thanks for checking in, I guess?

[Jairzinho]

32 goals in the last two seasons, playing out wide.

 

We could do without that kind of rubbish thanks.

AOC even sounds like an injury.

[stringvest]

certainly an appellation

Someone seems to have hacked Pearce's twitter account.

Hmmmm. Nothing to say that they won't read faxes.

[Mascherano]

I like the pace and width they have at Man City. If we can get someone as close to Sane to go on the opposite flank to Mane it will do us the world of good. Right now it gets a bit too congested and slow though the middle all the time.

I have been looking at Asensio, admitedly on highlights clips etc. He looks technically gifted and important to me, left footed, so he can use the space on the left without needing to cut back constantly.

Decent set piece delivery also.

Asensio coutinho mane

 

Behind a striker in the 3.

If we get CL, we should slap the money down on the table etc.

[Mascherano]

[Ne Moe Imya]

Asensio is going to be a huge star.  If it's true that we really offered 50m euro for him that's a great sign that we're after the kind of player we should be looking at, but I think we probably should have known they'd turn it down.

 

The fact that they're seemingly willing to sell Gareth Bale to make a place for him tells you everything.  He's brilliant.  We probably made the move a bit too late, if we had offered that for him in January before he really exploded they would almost certainly have taken it, but then again, it would have been hugely risky before we saw him play much in La Liga.

[Bjornebye]

Now Bale would be a statement of intent. Get in the Cl and lash 50 million down for him and that's the title next year.

[G Richards]

I would imagine Bale would go for closer to 100M and his injury record would be a concern. Not at Sturridge levels yet, but still a concern. Great player though.

What the fuck are you smoking.

James Pearce did an AMA on Reddit. Says van Dijk and Keita are our top two targets, we're definitely interested in Oxlade-Chamberlain and Salah is under consideration. Reckons we'll have about £120-130m to spend, including sales.

 Have you added an extra couple of 0s on there by mistake?

[El Dangerous]

Vdv- £50m

Keita- £30m-£40m

Brandt/Salah-£30m-£40m

AOC- £25m

 

£135m- £155m

 

I know that's highly speculative but if Pearce is right then we won't be signing any centre forwards.

[Bjornebye]

We need a left winger. No point forking out big money on a right winger when we have Mane. Especially Salah if he will be off to the acon as well. 

[Joe Strummer]

No Cup of Nations in 2018. Mane can play anywhere in a front three. Salah is the type of player we need.

So January 2018 we'll have no wingers. Sweet.

But we have £200,000,000 to spend. £45,000,000 to £55,000,000 to spend all on a centre forward.

 

That'll be the day.

I love the smell of net spend in the morning.

If that's close I'd drop AOC and put that money, along with money from the sale of Sturridge, to getting the best striker we can get, to go with the others listed.

 

As for Brandt, I like him, and would be happy if we got him, but I think we need someone with blistering pace to get around the outside and open it all up. Salah fits the bill, and I'm not sure if Inaki Williams does, but he might be worth a look again.

Magnificent news, we certainly don't need one.
