Transfer thread

[Gazza Dazzla]

Just saw this on the BBC, it’s my concern from the last 72 hours or so as well, feels like we are being a bit chaotic.


The Observer's Rory Smith believes Tottenham shortlisted "three completely different profiles of players" in their search for another left winger.

As reported by BBC Sport's Chelsea reporter Nizaar Kinsella, the Blues have accepted an offer for Mykhailo Mudryk in the late stages of the summer transfer window.

"This transfer chain between Cody Gakpo, Iliman Ndiaye and Mykhailo Mudryk is interesting to me," Smith said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday NightClub. "They are all forwards who have played Premier League football, but that's literally the only thing they have in common.

"They might like the same soap operas - I have no idea - but other than that, it is really hard to see a pattern.

"Tottenham drew them up as their three contenders for the left wing spot, but they are all completely different profiles of players.

"These clubs spend so much money on analysts, data, information and expert scouts. If I was an owner, I would be asking: 'Have we not spent quite a lot of money on these smartest people in the room to spot bargains?'

"Fans have a different reaction to a player coming in for a bargain fee and doing well compared with a club spending a seventh of their entire revenue on a left winger.

"Nobody seems to be thinking any more, apart from the usual clubs."

A no brainier, but absolutely no chance Forest sell MGW on the last day of the transfer window to us.

Yeh not with Mr M in charge

We won't get Xavi or Odobert back until the Spring unfortunately, and even then they won't be back to full match fitness and sharpness.

I'm not expecting either to contribute anything significant this season.

I hear Xavi late Jan but he thinks December and is working for that. I agree, late Jan feels right and I think we'll have to restrain him frankly!

Oderbert is 3 months ahead of Xavi. Possibly be in consideration for the Jan squad list.

Xavi had acl surgery on 5th May. Might see him by March 27

Bergvall to Chelsea rearing its head.........would be a poor deal all round given the last 24hrs

Depends what it allows it do. If it allows us to buy a CF for example, not a bad thing - Osimhen

If it is just to reduce net spend, well that’s just a different story

De Zerbi said this about Odobert

“[Wilson] Odobert is injured for a long time. Before February, March, he is not available.”

And Xavi Simmons.

“Xavi Simons… before March, April, he’s not ready.”

So with a fairly full squad as it is, it does seem questionable as to whether or not we will re add them to the squad list in January if we won't see either until maybe Feb but more likely March and thats assuming they both rehab well.

I'm gonna suggest the criteria are:
-PL experience
-Available
-Interested in joining the club that finished 17th twice in a row and could have very easily been playing Lincoln next weekend

(I'm also not convinced Mudryk counts as PL experience.)
