Summer 2018 Transfer Thread

[Johnlj]

Sessegnon is already playing as a winger.

I'd happily see us do a deal for him. You dont score that many goals as a winger at that age unless you are special

Hope it's not Lovren " special " 

 

Do we even have a chance with him ? didn't he reject us once, or was that just rumors ? I'd love him here, but unfortunately it smells like Tottenham in my book. Hope we can convince him otherwise though.

[Ne Moe Imya]

De Ligt is absolutely ace, but he's a few years away from being ready to start for a title-winning club.

 

I mean, I'd love it if we bought him, obviously, because he's already pretty good and he's going to be tremendous, but I really don't see it. How much do people think we're going to spend, total, this summer? £150m? £200m? Surely not more than that, and I think we're after at least 3 starter-quality players and maybe a few squad players.

 

One is Naby, with Leipzig looking unlikely to make the CL that will cost £55m. We're also after a midfield 6, rumours of Jorginho who will be around £50m. And we still need a Coutinho replacement, or at least another attacker capable of playing AM and wide forward. That will surely be the big-money move, because those kinds of players always cost huge money if they're any good.

 

I don't think we're going to have another £50m to spend on a young CB, as much as we might like to buy one. I can see a committee special for £15-20m at centre back, maybe, and a backup goalkeeper, but I don't think we're talking anywhere near £50m for either a CB or GK this summer.

If we're going to fork out 100 million besides Keita I'll be pleasantly surprised. We know how tight those bastards are. Aren't we in a 4 million plus on transfers since Klopp came here ? 

[Carvalho Diablo]

"Groove is in the Heart" was a great track, but it was a long time ago.

 

Let it go man.

 

Hey, I wouldn't spend on another...

[lifetime fan]

Are footballers in general really so shit nowadays that that's the best people can get for centre back? Both quite bang average centre backs. What next, Shawcross to Chelsea for £40m?

 

Kids playing more fifa than football has lead to this sad state of football talent imo.

 

I wouldn’t want any of them but Evans as fourth choice CB cover and home grown for £3m would make sense.

[TheHowieLama]

 for £3m

 

 

You have left out a zero, at least, here

[Captain Turdseye]

Yep. It’s madness to even contemplate us dropping £150m in one summer. Not happening.

[3 Stacks]

 for £3m

Evans has a relegation clause of £3m, which is a terrific bargain. Every club should be looking at that. 

[TheHowieLama]

Ah -- makes sense.

 

Well not really but...

[Captain Turdseye]

No manc rejects.

[Dr Nowt]

Matip is a bit of a defensive Lallana/Sturridge though, isn’t he.

[3 Stacks]

No manc rejects.

 

I don't understand that mindset. Shouldn't we want to see one do well so we can make fun of them after?

[Captain Turdseye]

I don't understand that mindset. Shouldn't we want to see one do well so we can make fun of them after?

Nope. They can all get to fuck.

[Lee909]

Nope. They can all get to fuck.

 

Especially that ugly fucker peter Beardsley. Should never have bought him the bloody manc reject bastard

[lifetime fan]

for £3m

Nah, when West Brom are relegated Evans has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave for £3m.

So it's a maybe from you?

[Boss]

Have we slipped into some internet black hole where TLW has been replaced by The QPR Way circa 2015 or something?

[G Richards]

De Ligt looks a very good player. Wonder if there’s a chance we can do a deal but leave him where he is for the next year or two?

 

Keita

Jorginho

Sessegnon

De Ligt

Back up goalie

 

Midfield transformed. Two young players who are very highly rated? One to come and make an impact now, the other to stay where he is for a while?

 

I change every day! Apart from Keita coming, obviously.

 

It will be interesting to see what happens this summer.

[joe_fishfish]

I'm still on the Rabiot train personally.

[Aventus]

I'm still on the Rabiot train personally.

Me too.

[TheHowieLama]

Good train.

[G Richards]

The friendly with Napoli, plus the links, make me think Jorginho.

The social media stuff about us from Rabiot, plus PSG’s need to raise cash for FFP, tilt it that way.

 

If it’s one or the other, plus Keita, the midfield for next season is way better, Can or no Can.
