Summer 2023 Transfer Thread

[3 Stacks]

Almost like it's not easy replacing 4/5 players in one position group in a summer.

[Jairzinho]

I wonder if, only with hindsight obviously, we could have considered signing central midfielders before this window.

The Lavia thing won't end well. We're fooling around with bids. Don't think we want him that bad.

Mild signs that after a long hard fought battle, Stacksy could finally be coming down with an acute case of hysteria vaginus, commonly referred to as mewling quim. I’m gonna need to hear your views of FSG before I give my full diagnosis.

Ox is still a free agent, if its only numbers we want, bring him. Sure offer Bremen a mars bar and I'm sure they'll gift wrap Naby and send him on to Singapore. That's 6 senior midfielders, Arthur will fly out if they're are still concerns.

Have to laugh at people rubbing their hands with glee because the two midfielders they don’t rate are leaving for Saudi Arabia, yet whining about the difficulties in bringing replacements which itself is a direct result of Saudi Arabian money distorting everything else in the transfer market. The wood and the trees are absolutely identical to some.

there’s plenty of time yet.  And we’ve already improved.

I know you’re joking but the longer Ox stays a free agent the more nervous I become.

Been linked with 3 Bayern midfielders. Hopefully they need money for Harold.

Kimmich please

Brighton watched Chelsea fold and eventually pay Benfica their asking price for Enzo Fernandes, why wouldn’t they adopt the same hard nosed approach to selling a PL proven player who looks superior to the player Chelsea paid over £100m for just 6 months ago? That Boehly tit made his bed and will now have to lie in it.

Agreed.

How would people feel about Max Kilman signing for Liverpool?

2 years of being a starter at 26 makes you wonder how good he is. Will be 27 by the end of the year. I'd rather get a younger player but when the back ups are Gomez and Matip maybe its makes some sense. Still feel we need 2 CB

 

Just read that FIFA says he can't play for Ukraine because he played futsal for England. What a stupid fucking decision, makes perfect sense for FIFA though, probably couldn't afford the right envelope that the oil states can

Does anyone know how Thiago and Bajcetic are getting on? 

 

There's a bit of an age and experience difference but the shared Spanish language could help build bridges.

Probably just spend most of their time taking about how their dads played together for Celta Vigo.

Napoli apparently tried to sign him and had a bid of £30 million rejected. 

 

It sounds like Wolves have got themselves in to a bit of a mess financially though, so we could probably get him for around £35 million.

Kilman is a decent player imo but it’s a bit of a climbdown compared to Colwill. 

[BeefStroganoff]

Two weeks to the start of the season and the squad rebuild is on a knifes edge.

 

still no lavia, we need another midfielder too. No centre backs touted.

 

undercooked is an understatement. Let’s hope there’s no injuries in Singapore.

Looking at other clubs transfers, and it seems that most of the top six are struggling to get players in.

 

City have only got Kovacic in so far.

United only have Mount and Onana.

Chelsea only have Jackson.

Arsenal have Rice, Havertz and Timber.

Newcastle only have Tonali and Barnes 

Spurs have only got Maddison and Vicario (New GK)

 

I think the Saudi Arabia deals have thrown a bit of a spanner in the works for European clubs.
