Summer 2019 Transfer Thread

[Lee909]

Makes sense at that price but having not watch him much the past 18 months his scoring record for a wide forward and at international level is shite

[Red House]

I was happy for us to pay 40m for Brandt in the summer. 25m is a no-brainer.

He scores 10 or so a year - not bad

He creates as well - would prefer Werner but there are worse options, especially for the dosh

 

It would be nice to ratchet up a notch and have a player like this be next years Shaqiri - not a punt but good value for a player who can probably earn playing time while also spending big on another position.

He's not a forward, he's a creative wide midfielder. He's even played mostly in central midfield this season. That's more the type of player we lack anyway. 

[Boss]

I'd rather have Nabil Fekir with one knee than Julian Brandt. 

[Lee909]

Been talk Fekir is signing a new deal. 

Could just be their chairman chatting shite

[Pidge]

Brandt looks to have put some muscle on, used to be excellent with space to run into, hopefully that's helped him deal with deeper, more "pragmatic", defences as well.

 

Get Ayre on the case.

Mbappe is quite good and may have a future upfront for Liverpool.

I'd rather he proved himself at Southampton or Leicester first.

Hehe. Funny but not entirely fair. Mbappe is already world class. Julian Brandt struggled last year and looking at the stats he’s only been decent this year. Have a look at Max Mayer. His name was mentioned frequently as a possible target in the past and he’s been largely disappointing for Palace. Or even closer to home, Keita was apparently the best midfielder in Bundesliga, yet he’s only just starting to show his quality for us.

Prefer Nicolas Pepe to Werner personally. That said, there really aren't that many quality alternatives available (Jovic?). Worst generation of strikers that I can recall.

Check your sauce mate -- he was much better last year in the statto circles.

I think he's off, maybe not to Madrid as I forgot abut Hazard, I know he he's top scorer but he hasn't seemed right for a while now and he never looks happy.

 

I reckon Henderson will be off too, i know no ones happy getting subbed but its not the first time he's been stroppy getting hooked this season and being dropped for games. With Rodgers going to leicester, I wouldnt be surprised to see him and Lallana follow him there in the summer.

i am alright with players being pissed off when they get taken off. emotionally they should be on the edge when they play and i would like to think when they're playing (except when they're having "one of them"), they think they're doing enough to stay on and they can still win us the game. as long as when the moment passes they are good with it and uderstand the manager has a decision to make and just like them on the pitch, he is just trying to do his best to get a win, then i don't see the issue.

i don't know much about germany, so this is a serious question, is 10 in that league a big deal? that lookman at everton scored 5 in half a season and he can't get a game for them and they're fucking shite. would brandt get near our team or even get ahead of Shaq? 

[TheHowieLama]

No idea, but we can give him a shot -- basically he costs less than Markovic. I will go out on a limb and say he is a better player.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Brandt is a good player. Would be like a new player.

Another goal for Jimenez..... I'd get on the phone to Benfica pronto.

Jimenez would be perfect if we were aiming for 7th place.

Cost seems irrelevant to me. Our issue this season is the players after the front 3 offer next to nothing. I see no value in bringing in someone else who will do the same. Origi and sturridge will both likely leave. One will be replaced by a kid, that's gamble enough for me. The 2nd player should be of quality to put the current 3 under pressure.
