Summer 2018 Transfer Thread

[El Dangerous]

If we're going to stick with what we have I hope Woodburn gets a fair chance. See what he can do with a proper midfield around him.

[Red74]

I think relying on the fitness of Henderson and Lallana in particular is a worry. Despite the money spent it still feels like we're just falling short and there might never be a better time to strike while the iron is hot.

I don't think any major player is leaving this summer, fingers crossed, but that could change over the next year and we'll be back in transition.

I reckon Klopp’s waiting to see who leaves now before buying again. Ings, Sturridge, Origi & Markovic go then we’re short of depth up front and Fekir comes in.

Ryan Kent said to be heading to Rangers on loan.

The exodus begins

Time for some Friday afternoon fun with Spurs ITK's.

 

Yesterday's update.

Martial off the menu!

 

Oh well, you know football. Not new to us is it?

 

And today's.

Clarification on Zaha. As papers are saying; only player/s exchange and cash. You can imagine the list of players. We have our minimum value on players we are prepared to let go, either straight sale, or exchanges. We value Zaha around 55m mark.

 

I can’t see it myself happening, due to past negotiation tactics and history our end. Going to the wire won’t cut it, and likely to fail (opinion) as Palace holds the cards. Poch wants the deal. It was either Martial or Zaha. We did explore another option, but very difficult to deal with agents of a certain player overseas.

 

This is where I wonder how it will play out if Poch does not get his player, seeing Martial and another in that department hit the buffers.

 

Over to you Daniel

I am a passionate fan, which exceeds 50 years, and I have seen a lot first hand. You can put it on a biscuit tin Poch was given assurances, to which I won’t recycle, as we know what they were.

 

I understand the comments about not paying what we deem OTT in players like Zaha. I stated that our kitty is what it is, but inflation is seen nowhere like our sport. Now if Palace want 65m for him, and 1 or 2 players are thrown in, with us paying say 40m, then pay the farking thing on instalments agreed. And that is how Parish operates.

 

We have been farting around too long. Announcement/s Monday-Wednesday still stands. I wait with baited breath. Yes! I was optimistic earlier, but less so now. I am not going to bs anybody. You deserve to know the truth.

 

Hopefully this leaks, and club gets wind, and up there game. And anyone who believes that a certain person is ‘belly happy’, you are then deluded. Many things I would love to say but can’t.

 

Supposedly De Ligt and Pulisic were top targets too, but have gone quiet.

[Anubis]

Flashscore say Mane has signed his new deal.

[Dr Nowt]

Won’t believe it til Tony’s Ma tells me through a mouthful of custard creams.

If Spurs get Martial I will be upset.

 

If they get Zaha for 60m+ I will laugh myself silly. That would be brilliant. Who is he supposedly keeping out of their team? Son? He's nowhere near as good. I'm not sure he's any better or offers anything different than Lucas Moura who's hardly been a raging success.

[Greycellgreen]

Spurs won’t spend fuck all this window, I’ll be amazed if they spend £40m in total without selling someone.

[sir roger]

Lukaku and Rashford not back at Man Utd until a week before their first match so would be surprised if Martial went anywhere this summer.

[Gym Beglin]

Fabinho and Keita are bruddy ruvvry.

Ward completes move to Leicester, £12.5m

Money FUCKINBALLL!!!!

[Harry Squatter]

Chelsea allegedly interested in Fekir now.

[sir roger]

Don't tell me - Arlarse ?

[El Dangerous]

Arlarse: "hmm... Well it worked for Roma "

[sir roger]

Jean-Michel Arlarse ?

[Section_31]

Looks like we've finally consigned moneyball to the bin. Proven quality, players who are ready now - not in two years.

[El Dangerous]

Not entirely. I think we're just high end money ballin'. I feel like the owners have realised that if we spend £70m on a player we can get £140m back if they leave. Which is fair enough. I'd sooner do that than spend £100m on Ronaldo for a couple of good years, at least our way ensures a future.

[Harry Squatter]

Not much opportunity for Grujic now.

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see him leave as we should get a bit of cash for him.

Thought he’d already agreed another loan spell with Cardiff?

[El Dangerous]

His agent was holding out for more money according to Colin Wanker.

Stupidity from his agent IF true.

 

He should be playing every week in the PL this season.
