Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

[TheHowieLama]

Jota is going to be able to slot in anywhere in the front three and could probably do a job in the midfield - good engine, great feet.

 

I might have a little more time for Origi but out on the left he is abysmal and Klopp must have decided that he can't play the role in the middle of the three for us so he is not really that useful.

Is this a case of Brewsters millions?

The thing with Sheffield United though, is Brewster is going to have to be brilliant to look good there. Wilder generally knows what he's doing, but that is a tough style of play for a striker.

I'm not sure it will be quite like that. They're all surplus to requirements and if bids come in for all of them, they'll go. 

I don't think we're choosing to hold on to him, just nobody will pay for him yet. He clearly won't get playing time in the CL and PL, but we have to appear we're happy to use him or it devalues him. We're about to head into panic season in the last few days of the window and Wilson scores a few, so someone will stump up I think. Perhaps Burnley are waiting for tarkowski to go before they can afford wilson?

Yeah, I know what you mean, they're not going to come out and say we have no use for him. That is the truth though and I'm sure other clubs are able to work that out themselves. If he stays, I'd say he'll be lucky to even make the bench five times all season in either the PL or CL.

Wilson is only going to be any good playing on the right wing - I think Elliott is probably ahead of him there in Klopps plans.

If Burnley offered us a bag of balloons for Harry Wilson I'd take it.

Diallo, from gorgeous Brest, heading to the Saints. Best player from the big town in Finistère ( beautiful area, you should all visit).

 

15M€, a bargain nowadays for a young player and a bright prospect, une pépite as we say down here.

I'm surprised Dyche wants Wilson, he doesn't seem to fit the Burnley ticket. 

Maybe all the Burnley grocks and Dyche just want to watch him shower.

The midfielder? When I saw that I thought it was the striker at Metz.

[Arnaud]

Yep, the Brestois one

Hearing the club are asking for more detail on this potential offer, such as the range of colours and whether some long, sausage type balloons that can be twisted into animal shapes are included.

Grujic won't have done his chances of a good move any harm at all last night. Thought he looked composed and effective. If we weren't fully stocked with holding midfielders I don't think he'd be going anywhere. 

I actually think we should keep him. Thought he did well last night and with his extra height it would be useful.

A shame to let him go really but he is directly competing with Fab and Thiago for one spot which Hendo, Milner and Gini could cover for if necessary.

He can take a free kick and Burnley don't have much of that. He's probably half a dozen goals a season for them from free kicks they wouldn't otherwise get.

That's some shit music.

 

23.5million buy-back option for three years and a 15% of any sell-on fee. 

 

Do we get 15% sell-on fee if we buy him back...  

 

Edwards gaming the market.

[Arnaud]

One match does not make it ! Sell Grujic who is not going to play much. It’s M’Bappé money.

They can fuck right off with sausage shaped balloons the cheeky twats

In

 

Jota - £45m

Thiago - £25m

Tsimikas - £12m

 

Out

 

Brewster - £23.5m

Lovren - £11m

Hoever - £10m

 

Out - £72m

In - £54m

 

Not sure if those figures are 100% accurate but they’ll be close enough.
 

It seems we’re expecting no more incomings while Shaq or Wilson and Grujic are expected to leave before the window ends, so we’re likely to turn at least break even. 
 

So we’ve taken a squad 97 point European Cup winning squad and a 99 point Premiership winning team, signed 3 new players, sold 3-5 fringe players, will at least break even and, on paper, we’ve significantly improved our squad. 

No doubt I’ll be accused of being on FSG’s payroll or whatever by some miserable bellends, but you can’t argue with facts - the club is in a great place.

One thing thats slightly overlooked though, once we sell these other fringe players we are getting down to the bare bones of players that will be surplus. Barring Origi, I can't think of any other players we could sell to fund other transfers without letting a big hitter go. Which means next summer we say goodbye to some core players if we want to invest.

Is anyone gonna be that mad if we sell one of the front three next summer? Seems like a pretty natural progression of the squad to me.

If we sell Wilson, Shaq and Grujic we'll probably be £30m in profit for next year's kitty or (If you prefer)  for a new yacht.
