Summer 2023 Transfer Thread

Think it's how forcefully they tell you what position they play.

 

Maybe Mac Allister is less decisive because he said 'well I can play 6 or 8 or 10'  

[Carvalho Diablo]

We get too hung up on numbers. We need someone who's young, quick, a decent passer and who's a good tackler.

Well in that case we should resign Fabio Carvalho.

The most decisive of decisive 10's.

[El Dangerous]

I still think he can do a job as an indecisive inside forward.

Fabinho transfer in jeopardy according to Ornstein. Great news in my opinion, think we’re fucking bonkers to try replace Fabinho and Henderson with a 19 year old from a relegated team.

£40m for a guy who cannot run?

 

All day long.

Wanted Hendo or Fab off the books first, perhaps?

Probably, because Lavia wasn’t our first choice by the looks of things.

Fab was never lighting. It was all about positioning and anticipation at his best. The alternatives are fucking shite so just keep him.

[El Dangerous]

Be depressing to see him go to Bayern for half the price though.

Well that’s where we put on our big boy pants and take them for every cent or try to get Kimmich. We hold the power here.

Is right....or pass, or tackle, or sense and snuff out danger....

 

Watching him give away foul after foul last season because he was always arriving too late - think it was in cup v brighton he put in some absolutelt laughable attempts at tackles because he was just being destroyed and should have been red carded - no malice in them, just too dozy and too slow.... Plus often not even arriving at all was some of the most depressing shite of last season.

 

 

 

Plus as he clearly wants to go he should be shipped out ASAP.

I agree he should be shipped out but I don't think he's burnt his bridges. Even if the dog story is shite it still gave the perception that he's not stone cold and would sacrifice money rather than abandon his dogs. He could even sell it that way, offer was amazing but money isn't the only thing in the world. Donate 100k to local dog charity and most will move on and accept him back.

 

Ideal scenario is we sign someone like Lavia and keep Fab for a year to bed in Bacjetic and new guy.

JohnnyH doesn’t like this.

[Megadrive Man]

Any idea what the problem with the Fabinho deal is?

 

They've managed to get Benzima and Kante done?

The story in the Athletic gives no clues. All sides want to get it done but there’s a delay.

 

Probably greedy fucking agents.

[bizzle10]

How come we seem to be only ones struggling to deal with cash rich Saudi’s Fabinho for 40 mill is a no brainer 

[3 Stacks]

If Fabinho stays, we have to sign Lavia, or someone of that potential, and if we do that, its the best solution for us to be competitive next season. 

 

If he stays and we dont sign anybody, its a disaster.

Because you're only looking inward and are only interested in whats going on with players related to our club while a general noise is happening around us about players falling over themselves to sign for the Saudi League.

 

Not a criticism by the way, just the what happens where everything is magnified when it's in relation to the club you're interested in and everything else that happens appears insignificant to point you don't register it happening.

Dogs. Allegedly he owns a couple of banned breeds. Or not.

 

heard rumours Bayern are interested so maybe Fabinho prefers sauerkraut to camelfoot

Yup, was one of the games vs Brighton as both bad tackles happened about 30ft from me, guy came on, got the immediate run around and within two minutes should have had a red, the second tackle he put in was absolutely awful.
