Summer 2017 Transfer Thread

[Dr Nowt]

We're going balls out for Mbappe, gentlemen. We intend to pose a clear and present danger to the rest of the Premier Leagueship.

 

If we can't convince him to join us, for a fee which adds 50% again onto the current world record amount for a football player, we'll just tell Madrid they can't have Ings.

[Harry Squatter]

Ings got driven into the same toxic waste vat as Sturridge and the ginger fella off Robocop.

[Captain Turdseye]

As stated already Ferdinand was bought for 30 mill 15 years ago. I bought a house that year and it's on the market at the moment (not by me) for 2.5 times that.

The games has been dominated by money for a long time now.

You bought a house that's now on the market for £75m? You've just outed yourself as an FSG creeper account.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Exactly... Milan Baros 9 goals 2005.. goal machine lol

Baros is Ings, Ings is Baros.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

I think we're all dreading the "Klopp can't get his first choices and he's willing to wait until next summer for them" stories.

2 days to go before the official opening of the summer transfer window. Prepare for lots of announcements and signings! Oh, wait.......

[Russ Atmosphere]

Current front 3 options:

 

Mane

Salah

Firmino

Coutinho 

Sturridge

Lallana

Solanke

Ings

Woodburn

 

[Jose Jones]

I do agree that we would be better off swapping Sturridge for someone good and fit.

But I also reckon both Origi and Firmino will be better than last season.

[setreal]

What an investment Dembele will have been for the BVB if they sell him to Barcelona now. I wonder whether he still would want to leave if Tuchel was still in charge. Reportedly they were pretty close.

[Jairzinho]

Chutzpah can go in the summer.

[Gym Beglin]

Current front 3 options:

 

Mane

Salah

Firmino

Coutinho 

Sturridge

Lallana

Solanke

Ings

Woodburn

 

Of these 7 I would anticipate that Sturridge will not be available for at least 50% of the games going by previous form.  Ings is a worry, two major injuries in a row (and one in his younger days at Burnley IIRC) means his joints could crumble at any time.

 

Solanke is an unknown quantity and Woodburn hasn;t shown enough in his Cameos to convince me he's good enough to start in PL games if he's called upon.

 

That leaves us the same options as least season + Salah which I don't think is enough for a League campaign, Champions League (assuming we qualify) and a couple of cup runs. 

 

I'd add Brewster to that list.

 

Also think we'll end up with another FW, just not another striker.

Yup. £65m each for Van Dijk and Keita in this window will probably be seen as small potatoes and a shrewd investment in 12 months time.

 

How old ? 25 and 22 respectively, fuck it, we can't lose. Spend the money and bring them in.

Ha completely forgot about him

As you say, Origi and Firminio should improve.

 

Problem we may have is Arsenal, Spurs Chelsea, United, City and possibly others are likely to improve to a greater extent

Big season coming up for Lloyd Jones and Kevin Stewart?

[Russ Atmosphere]

Ha completely forgot about him 

 

Easily done.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Big season coming up for Lloyd Jones and Kevin Stewart?

Elsewhere I hope. Never gonna make it here.

[rondeco]

Divock Origi will be a beast this season.

 

 

 

*Just maybe not for us..

[Red House]

Sounds like we are back in for Andrew fucking Robertson.

[Lee909]

No issue with Robertson

 

We are not soending 40ml and 200k on Mendy. Not many great value LB around and if it around the 10ml mark he is worth a shot,we are not going to loose money at that price

[Paulie Dangerously]

Andrew Robchesky

[Caramac]

I think we're all dreading the "Klopp can't get his first choices and he's willing to wait until next summer for them" stories. 

 

 

[Grinch]

Just keep Moreno. No point buying a shit left back and playing Milner all season again.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Meh. Average fullbacks with a decent midfield wins more than the opposite. This summer should be all about the core of the team and adding quality there.
