General Transfer Rumour Discussion Thread

Bullet said:
Watching the games yesterday, I was struck how good 2 newbies from the Championship looked... the Bournemouth striker Wilson who got a hattrick and the Wolves winger Sako who signed for Palace and played instead of Bolasie.

These are the types of players I thought Mitchell 3b (black box bloke) would be identifying.

I don't think Sako is brilliant or epic, but he seemed a bit like Bolasie i.e. an energetic explosive "typical African attacking inside forward type" that burst forward, had 6 good shots, 5 on target, got his rewards... so easy to identify players at that level. That is why Palace don't mind selling Bolasie. They also have Puncheon who was excellent at times last year, just as good as Bolasie flavour of the month.

So I don't want Spurs to splash out £15m or whatever on someone like Bolasie when there are plenty of others available just as good for very little cash (e.g. Sako).

I don't watch The Championship but it must be easy to identify the top 10 players and sign some of those on freebies/last year deals on the cheap, rather than splash 15m on someone like Bolasie or Rudi Gestede.

It was also interesting to see West Ham capitulate, the full backs were really awful... yet Cresswell and Jenkinson have looked really good at times, the latter was the standout man at the Euro U21 for England, but was embarrassed yesterday by another stereotypically pacy African guy that just kept bombing forward ruthlessly Max Gradel, another we could have snapped up easily...

I do understand the Spurs way of not overspending, not splashing the cash, being canny... but seems like we are missing some key players and then identifying EXPENSIVE options who are no better than the cheapies... I am yet to be impressed by a surprise deal identified by 3b.

West Ham had no idea how to deal with him, I expect that says more about west hams scouting operation than it does the player

Ar5ena1 apparently going to be announcing Benzema tomorrow. Prolific striker for £50m whereas we are struggling to sign a player worth £20m who isn't very prolific.

Just goes to show you how far behind Ar5ena1 we are now.

Only been trying to buy him for how many years now?

I see a report saying that he was left out of training during the week for injury reasons, so hopefully it is that and nothing else.

fingers crossed

as for Asier Illarramendi don't think will happen been more talk of going to the bin dippers than us
 
I have to say Illarramendi never impressed me much playing for RM, not that he got that many minutes. I'm guessing he was playing to high level before his RM move as he must have done something to attract their attention.

He was instrumental for Sociedad the season they reached the CL, and was maybe the player of the tournament in U21 Euro i 2013. Real paid 32 mill euro for him.

All evidence points to him moving to Arsenal this week. :( they move further and further ahead with every passing year, don't they? Bloody lasagne gate, bloody Fulop, bloody Bayern Munich!!

I'm watching Sporting Gijón v Real and I think RM are badly missing a focal point in their attack. They would be mad to sell Benzema IMO.
 
Gijón are doing OK in this match. I read somewhere they might be interested in taking young Veljković on loan there.

No thanks. Not sure how it would benefit Veljković, we need him playing in the Premier League/Championship, rather than abroad in a league within which players have arrived & proven to be totally unsuitable for our league.

Im watching to. I don't understand it myself why would they sell him although they have plenty of goals in the side no striker seems mad to me.
How lazy are the front 3 getting back will be in trouble against better opposition.
Benzema scored plenty of crucial goals for them last year.
