Transfer thread

I don’t think Hackney is anywhere near as good as Wharton. I don’t see him becoming a top level player, perhaps a mid table PL player or rotation option for a 6th to 8th type team. Gray has a much higher ceiling.

I do think a proper DM for now could be transformational for us. If, for example, we threw £350k a week at Kimmmich on a 4 year deal that could be the best £70m we ever spent. Of course I doubt he would consider joining us but I’d be giving it a try.

Samuele Ricci is probably the best not too expensive, youngish but ready now player we could attract.

I thought Gray is meant to be our big DM signing, deserves some games in midfield to show what he can do but I don't think we need another hot prospect there when we already have Gray. Someone young like Wharton who is a little more proven with scope to still develop would be ideal.
 
The Phillips / Devine moves seems a bit premature to me. There's indications that Wilder will lose his job so surely Sheff Utd would wait for their new manager before deciding on additions. I would think Frank would also want access to them for the first part of pre-season.

Ironically, Phillips and Devine could be the 2 players that can bolster both PL and CL squads without impacting the A-list numbers. Still not sure on that because of the UEFA wording on loans, but they seem to have been registered for more than 2 years.
 
I thought he was with them the other season as well? did they just make it perm?

Yep - 14 appearances last season and 1 goal. So its not a debut. They just made the transfer perm.
 
There's still talent there - I'd take him for £15m.
Not a fukking chance would I take him for £15m. Levy has just said the Europa League is not enough, he wants the league or CL. That means we need to buy some proven quality, maybe someone like Eze.

Chelsea paid £5m to send Sancho back.

My concern about Philips is technical ability in the premier league. I do not think he is ready.
 
Not even going to start on who I want us to sign. That Aussie w*nker has destroyed so much of my love for football this season.

But I will start on the players I want gone. Forster, Davies, Romero, Porro, Bissouma, Bentacur, Son, Gil, Maddison, Richi
Was he really worse than the Portuguese and Italian who came before? Methinks not.
 
55 million British pounds for Romero is dreamworld imv - will be around 30m euros. Richy will be around 15m
If someone offers €30m for Romero then they can foxtrot oscar. And as for Athletico Madrid, suffice to say if they were able to cough €127.20m for Joao Felix then they can fukking cough up between €60-70m for Romero if they want him.

He was my dream pickup for last summer. Player AND teacher. AND winner.
