Summer 2023 Transfer Thread

[Barrington Womble]

I don't think we'll buy another right back. And we likely won't have milner. If he can stay fit he will get time on the pitch, especially if we're in the uefa cup or conference thing. And if we need a loan, maybe Blackburn come up and we seem to have a good relationship over there.

I hear Lavia was meant to have been good for Southampton last night.
 

What a daft move to take him off in 86. Then they concede in 88 & 90. Like taking off Hamman in Leverkusen.

I was really impressed with him last night, comfortable receiving g the ball in tight areas and not panicking. Was able to turn and beat the press on numerous occasions.

 

Would prefer he has another season at Southampton progressing his game than made the jump too early. 

 

Looks a player but the wrong move could scupper that. If he were to move this summer I think Brighton to replace caceido would be the best place for him.

If a club doesn't try to sign him this season then City take him next season for 40 million to replace Phillips.

Or we spunk 50m on a kid that has made less than 40 pl appearances

I'm just pointing out that as a player who moved to Southampton from Man City and has a 40 million pound buy back clause that kicks in 2024 a club (i.e any club) that has eyes on him as a player they would like will have to move a year earlier than they may want to because if not he almost certainly ends up back at City in summer 2024.

 

In fact I'd be surprised that, if it looks likely he's going to move this summer, City may go early just to protect that investment at the expense of a few million extra.

And Philips doesng seem to have worked out. The rumours are that they'll also lose Gundogan and Silva this summer.

We could spunk more on Caicedo who has a similar number of appearances !!!

What a waste of money Phillips is / was.

I know, that £45m down the drain, will haunt them for years to come. It has thrown their planned budget out of kilter.  What shall they do? 

 

Utter cunts

Makes no sense whatsoever as they already had that Lavia kid who could have played the 7 minutes that he's has played. Oh well 2 years of free transfers for them now...........

 

Oh, that's only us. Bugger

[CapeRed]

Lavia would be worth a gamble but we will not do it.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

The problem is Lavia would surely cost more than his reported buy-back. Not sure we should be taking that kind of gamble.

Sky gave him rating of 5 which is supposed to be an average rating but it's SKY so will give him the benefit of doubt.

We should never have sold Neco Williams. Would have been perfect at right back with Trent in midfield.

 

Short sighted tossers.

Aye you're right, he'd fit right in with us if he stayed given his 1 assist and playing as part of a defensive line that have conceded the second most goals this season.

[Elite]

Yeah he's pretty crap.

I'm not a big "complain about the budget guy" but if we sign him it will be a result of needing a cheaper alternative because we have to sign a bunch of other players and he was a promising player once. Not good.

He's 20, and by once you presumably mean last summer?

Was he ever that good at Ajax, though? The Eredivisie is one of those leagues where any player with a modicum of talent and professionalism will excel in. You have to be dominant, like Gakpo was. 

 

Gravenberch basically got a big move because because he'd be cheap and has proceeded to do nothing.

according to you 6 minutes ago he was

he was a promising player once. 

 

and as we've just established that was a massive 9 months ago.
