Transfer rumours - summer 2021 edition

[kendoddsdadsdog]

Southamton are going down.

What the heck is going on there? I really feel for their fans, even though they hate us.

 

[alekaras]

Think Sarr is an absolute brilliant player.

Kessie and Zakaria both having 12 months left on their contracts should make them gettable.

Sarr is one we should have signed in 2018. He was brilliant for Senegal in the WC. But yeah, we don't sign players off a good tournament...

Milenko Acimovic says high

Zakaria is outstanding IMO

Though he did suffer a pretty bad injury last season and not come back the same player. Palhinha is also a very good CM. I would be more than happy with either player.

Quality player. Reads the game well, reliable, takes a cracking free kick. I'd take him for a reasonable fee and send Skippy back to Norwich for a season to become an absolute Premier League boss.

Of course, I bet much doubt it'd happen, and there are plenty of other positions I'd rather see sorted out first.

I'd have him, Skipp and PEH to create options in a solid CM and allow the front four lots of freedom.
All three can operate defensively and forward looking, especially with a passing range.
Ward Prowse reminds me of Milner.

I don’t know if we’d be able to cope with the excitement of having a genuinely good FK taker, it’s only going to alienate Kane further after all..

I’ve not seen enough of Paulinha to have a view. What I have seen of him he didn’t shine

 

[Kandi1977]

This is the player I've wanted for a while now. Maybe questionable with PEH and Skipp, but he is quality.

Gil getting free kicks, Ward-Prowse putting them in the top corner. What's not to like??

Could be a good blend in midfield - PEH in the middle and JWP and GLC either side of him.

The fact that they all have 3 initials should also make them bond even better

This guy would be great for us.

 

[IulianSteaua]

This guy would be great for us.

We are busy selling the best player in the league to the competition. Maybe some other time.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

This guy would be great for us.

Agreed
He is class

 

[AdamB]

This guy would be great for us.

Good player - my only question is balance in midfield. If we were going to sign one midfielder, I'd prefer one who gets up to support the forwards more (I don't rate Dele as a mdfielder)

 

[JerusalemMan]

Apparently not.

I don't think we are busy selling him at all. But if a big enough offer eventually comes in, I think we have to sell.

So it feels like, from what’s been talked about this summer, we’d ideally still like to do this business before the window’s done:

Outs:
- Aurier, Doherty or both
- Sanchez, maybe Dier
- Maybe Davies
- Winks, Sissoko
- Kane (regrettably)

In:
- Tomiyasu
- Kounde / Lacroix / Torres
- Valhinha / Ward-Prowse / Zakaria
- Damsgaard / Madueke
- Martinez / Vlahovic

Any other strong links I’ve missed? Feels like we’d get close to a zero net spend there and be potentially stronger, striker changes pending.

If we could get all that business done we'd be a lot, lot stronger in my view

I actually think we'll get a lot of it done - certainly a RB given Tomiyasu seems advanced, and probably a CB given there seem to be a lot of options. I think we'll also get CFs in given the necessity and probably a CM too. I'm a bit sceptical about the Damsgaard type - just wonder whether we'll have the cash and there won't be many alternatives
