Summer 2023 Transfer Thread

[Saucepan]

I wish Allison would shave down to a mustache again AND only wear a Sixpence hat...

 

Wait, did that come out wrong?

[Red Phoenix]

Maybe if we'd have just offered the 50mil we'd have got Lavia quickly.

 

No idea what the point in this is, if true :

 

 

[George Costanza]

What is it with mega rich football clubs putting in low ball bids for players?  The buying clubs will know the asking price so unless there's any major situation change why would any selling club accept 20% lower than what they were asking.  Its not just us, the whole Bayern/Spurs/Kane saga is tiresome.  West Ham/Arsenal/Rice was a fucking joke as well,  Chelsea & Caicedo likewise. I'd actually like to see a rule introduced that you can only make one or two official bids for a player within a 3 month period.  There's far too much fannying around.  If we really want Lavia then pay the £50m asking price that everyone has known all summer.  Maybe the only negotation should be the terms of the £50m such payment installments & bonus structure.

To be fair to Southampton, their season starts on Friday. 

They won't be doing us any favours.

And he'll likely be playing.

 

The twist in the tale of this cuntery is Lavia pulling his hammy in the first game, leaving us up shit's creek without a DM

[TheHowieLama]

Soton would probably be chuffed as well.

They need to do themselves a favour to balance their books. It's different when you're buying from another prem team who can afford to say no.

Fuck it, if they want 50 mil, lets go for Barella for 63 m mil, and get that brazilain andre the giant in too. 

[BeefStroganoff]

Hate transfer windows with this lot, it’s like a scratching nails down a chalk board. 
 

We never get our business done properly 

We are always short in some area

We always try and piss of the selling club

We never seem to have a plan

 

Maybe if they stopped trying to build Fenway Corners and concentrated on the fucking Clubs they own they all wouldn’t be struggling. Fucks.

Saints are in a strong financial position for the first time since old chairman Liebherr died, so they have the luxury of holding out for big money, despite relegation. According to a Southampton supporting mate anyway.

[Torvald Utne]

Just slap £100m down on the table for Lavia.  That's how it works right?

[bizzle10]

Liverpool is a giant of the European game yet when it comes to the transfer market our owners act like we are Everton

Throw in Henry's wife as some kind of Indecent proposal' scenario. Might get it over the line.

[Lee909]

Fluminese play Argentinos jnrs in the Copa Libertadores last 16 tonight. 1st leg tonight,2nd meeting week. If they go out might make any deal easier

They've lost money in the last 2 financial years. Last financial year they turned over 150m. Their revenues are going to be down £30m minimum. They've spent about 10m net this summer, which while that doesn't sound a lot, it's something they couldn't manage in the premier league. And their owner, no matter how willing to ensure their stability, has very little capability of putting money in to cover losses. They might well have been sound in the PL, but they're a championship side now. The profit and sustainability rules in the EFL are just £15m loss over 3 years (5m per year) or £39m loss over 3 years if the owner puts in the money to cover losses as equity, this cannot be a loan. And as points deductions show all over the place, the EFL stick to these rules and punish those who don't adhere to them. It's not the shit show we see in the PL. It's why I don't believe Southampton hold all the cards here. The only thing they had going for them was interest from arsenal and Chelsea, neither of which seems serious.

 

This is why instead of playing games for a month, we should have put a bid in quickly and been ready to move on quickly, because Southampton would have seen their arse. 

 

 

 

[KevieG]

Getting Reddy and co to start leaking the Andre stuff 10 minutes after Southampton reject the latest clearly not going to be good enough offer is embarrassing. That's some bluff there lads. 

 

Can really see Southampton falling for that. Everton level amateur.

"What would Everton do?"

[Torvald Utne]

The only thing this lad has ever done of note is to set up Jota 

[sir roger]

Seems Soton have jibbed off West Ham over Ward-Prowse, wanting £40m.

Probably only looking to sell one of the two at most.

 

In other news, Chelsea are looking for £45m for Chalobah !!

£45m for a guy who can't even spell Trevor.

Sadly if they were the 3rd richest club in the world according to turnover the Mosh would do more than our owners to keep us at the top 

[Creator Supreme]

Had a quick gander at the squad as it stands before. 23 players, 4 of whom are goalkeepers.

 

If we don't bring at least 1 defender and 1 more midfielder in that squad is not going to be near good enough to challenge for Champions League places. Ideally we could do with at least 4 more players to give the squad a decent amount of depth!

[BeefStroganoff]

Jurgen needs to fucking grow a pair. He could walk into any job in football. He’s the golden goose to fsg. Fucking speak up man!

[Lee909]

Argentinos Jnrs 1-0 Fluminese in the Copa. 

 

could do with them winning comfortably and making the  trip to Brazil easier next week. Fluminese go out and it should be far easier to get the deal done at a lower fee
