Transfer thread

Interesting and somewhat predictable too. Would the player want this? In the Conte system, there is no natural place for him - even less so than at City I would say. If Kane is fit he starts, same for Son.

Not an obvious starting position for him at first with Son, Kane and Kulusevski performing well.

There's a really good player in Jesus I think though. And I think he would fit better in our quick and direct style than in Pep's possession focused fairly congested style.

Not sure he's the best we could do for an attacking upgrade or that he will be particularly good value for money.

Let make this thread interesting, predict the number of players we are linked with before the window closes. I go for 237 of which I've only heard of 21 of them, but I'm totally ignorant of world football.

And how many of them we decide are the best thing since sliced vases based on a two minute YouTube video of actually doing very little - but it has a soundtrack, so must be good!

Cl and 5 subs next season. He can play any of the 3 roles up front. So we can rotate.

With lots of vowels in their name and possibly 3 different names to put on shirt.

Brazil don't think he's too bad given he has 55 caps....

The other similar option who we were linked with last year is Lauturo Martinez. Similar age, similar size, similarly mobile and versatile

Would city even sell to us? They have to think if we strengthen, with conte we might be a threat next season.

City fear no one

They should.

And quite right too. Conte will expect to challenge on possibly 3 fronts, we need to be at it from the off.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

They should.

I agree
But it’s not their way

This was doing the d media rounds days ago so nothing (unsurprisingly) novel from Dan KP.

Except for the deliberate flimflam attempt to add some anti-Levy spice to it.

I'd like to see us finish the summer with a squad looking something like this:

-----------------------------------Lloris(Johnstone)

-------------Romero(Sanchez)-Dier(Tanganga)-Bastoni(Davies)

Lamptey(Royal)-Bentancur(Hojbjerg)-Locatelli(Skipp)-Sessegnon(Reguilon)

------------ Kulusevski(Moura)-----------------Son(Dybala)

--------------------------------------Kane(Brereton)

 

[AjaxDeSuperYids]

So within the next couple of weeks I am expecting the following:

Conte new contract for 3 years
Kane new contract for 4 years
Eriksen signed for 3 years with an option for 1 extra year

This will then give us a nice platform to do our main business this summer.

Ah the old Lamptey link
The guy who really hasn’t done anything but they want £50m for …

Who else is there? Both Livramento and Bogle have long term injuries.

 

[metalgear]

I don't watch keepers much, just seen a Fraser Forster rumour - Johnstone vs Forster thoughts?

Spence and Aarons for a start if we’re only talking English ones
Maehle if we’re looking furthe4 afield
There are plenty and most would be half his fee and have done a LOT more

Back ups
Won’t play much
As long as they are homegrown it’s fine
