Summer 2018 transfer thread

[El Guepardo]

He is so good and seems to have a great attitude, we need to sign this lad. Two seasons with us and he will be a 150m player.

Two seasons with anyone and he will be worth that much. But I agree that we need to sign him. He’s going to the very top.

WOuld he not effectively overlap with Son in our squad?

You can't have too many good players. One problem with Martial is his personality. He seems a bit moody. Does he want to swap the utd rotation for one at Spurs?

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

I cant say Ive seen him as moody, rather a victim of Mourinho.

I like him as a player, I just wonder where/how he fits in.

He and Moura either side of Kane is a speedy attack in a 4-3-3 as an option.

But, much like people still wanting Malcom, I just wonder why we would when we already seem to be covered there.

That was my thought as well. Martial is just a second rate Son.

 

[DeleHarry]

I see Brereton scored another cracker yesterday. Can't see him remaining at Forest much longer

We ideally want a youngster as our 6th AM. Like Sancho, or even Sessegnon for a year or 2 while we mould him into a wingback

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

Someone like Sessegnon makes more sense to me, but I certainly wouldnt be disappointed with Marital, I just wonder if its necessary.

 

[Cochise]

If UTD come on for Alderweireld (and if we cannot resolve TA's contract dispute), do we insist on trying to get Martial in? We could release Llorente for him and be alright.

Ah yeah, Sessegnon. Martial, Sessegnon and a new CB to replace Toby to come in.
Janssen, Llorente and Alderweireld out?

Well into speculation, but if that was the scenario I think going for Rashford might be a better option. More natural backup for Kane whilst being able to play as an attacking midfielder like Martial. I do like Martial though, a lot.

We have to be smart in planning ahead for all eventualities. We don't know how much longer we can hold onto Dele and even Erikssen. How much longer do we have to wait for Lamela to finally deliver for a whole season? In a couple of years time Martial, Moura and Malcolm might end up being our first choice three attackers behind Harry

 

[Cochise]

Do we need to be going for Malcolm if we already have Sessegnon?
Unless we lose someone like Son or Lamela, it wouldn't make sense to buy another AM now that we have Moura.

But we don't have Sessegnon , and if Fulham come up I'm not sure he will necessarily leave in the coming summer.

Also Sessegnon is a left back too. If he joins we don't know what poch will do with him.

True enough, but the lad has been playing as a midfielder/inside forward of late. 13 goals so far as a 17 year old in the Championship.

I know. He has always had the ability to do both. Like I said it depends where Poch would see him as the right fit in our side

I’d tell them to Feck off and sell him to Bayern or Madrid

 

[P.D.]

Don't forget Son might only have a couple of seasons left if he has to do military duty.
