Summer 2018 transfer thread

Think we need to upgrade on a host of players if we don't want to be left behind. Only Kane and maybe Eriksen are the closest players to being irreplaceable.

We need to replace a few but not too many urgently!
We will only find out who it will be when it’s announced, we don’t have enough info to make a considered judgement.

Wow!

I dont see how we could afford:
- a better GK than Lloris (taking his current form as unusually erratic)
- better than Dele
- a better LB than Rose
- a better back-up LB than Davies
- a better back up RB than Trippier/Aurier (granted the first choice could be improved)
- a better DM than Dier (or Wanyama)
- a better back-up DM than Wanyama (or Dier)
- a better CM than Dembele
- better value than Son
- (probably) better value than Moura

Granted we could probably get a better fist choice RB, need to replace Toby like for like (but thats a one-off, zero cost change), and could probably afford a better 4th choice CB than Foyth but he's great value long-term...I think we could upgrade Lamela, though some disagree, and obviously Llorente and Janssen have contributed zilch so could be improved....

I dont think there's that many that could be easily improved though
 
We need a couple of project buys, Maddison and Sessegnon type signings.

Sounds like we are scouting an eventual successor to Dembele which is a good idea.

Poch has never been one to do whole sale changes and I do not see it happening. I would not mind us spending biggish money on a forward player but hopefully Moura will play more next season so that might not make a forward signing that necessary.

Tell me your joking? we need to strengthen in one or two areas but " upgrade on a host of players" is over the top ( imo).
 
We will pick up a couple of projects, but I believe we will pick up one or maybe two "big" players to energize and reinvigorate the squad. They will be Poch-mode players but I believe we will see a couple of big boys arriving. It only needs one or two to tip this project into silver IMO...

Maddison would be a great signing

The championship isn’t as far behind the prem as it was (hence why no promoted sides are going down now)

I really like Henry the left back at Brentford. Would actually suggest Fredricks would be a good right back, back up if we had a clear first choice right back.

I cant say I've seen much of Maddison but agree that the bottom 14 of the PL and top say half in the Championship arent that far apart...in fact they're closer than the top 6 of the PL are to the rest of the PL

Maddison is brilliant and progressed massively this season

He plays like eriksen, head up, makes time and can create and score

And I agree with the comments about the comparison with the championship levels
