Summer transfer madness thread

[Sexual Ealing]

I'll pm you my bank details.

[cdbearsfan]

Sorry, I've cut up all my bank cards and stabbed my bank manager.

It's was Sexual Ealing's fault!

Come on, Lynn. Let's go to Sprowston.

I hate 352. I like wingers.

We are fine at centre half. We sign a centre half.

We have loads of right backs.  We sign a right back.

Our most promising youngster is Green. We plan in a formation designed to exclude him.

This season is going to be fun.

Bruce wont last til Xmas if we go with three at the back. There is no way Terry was signed to play at three at the back, then again Bruce has previous here back in Jan. Hate to be cynical but this signing is straight out of the Redknapp/Chimbonda school

I like Elmohandy and think he's an ideal overlapping full back for the coming season. I also think that there is still place for a back 4.

Keeper
Elmo
chester
terry
Taylor

In midfield I like to see Grealish in a more advanced role. I'd also be in the minority and would replace jedinak and think Whelan is a better placed to o the protection job as well as keep the ball moving which is where jedinak falls down significantly. I'd only play one up front and that would be Hogan. Hourihane and Hansbury are fine but I don't really rate the latter.  I think the lack of pace is going to need to be addressed which is why I'd improve on the Adomah/lansbury/hourihane trio.

A pacy wide player or attacking midfielder is required. 4-1-3-2 or 4-1-3-1-1 is best suited to the players that we have. I'm also struggling to fit Kodjia in.

[Matt Collins]

I'm really set against 352 too.

Doesn't suit Terry. Definitely doesn't suit Baker who just doesn't have that mobility or quality on the ball. I remember him playing there against Ipswich last season and repeatedly giving the ball away. Also think doesn't suit Taylor

I don't mind Elmohamady at all - but I'm worried it's a signal we will play 352 and I think this will be a big mistake

Hopefully I'm wrong one way or the other

Hull fans appear to think Elmohamady leaving will strengthen their defence 🤔 Also say he has been rubbish the last couple of years because of his messy divorce 🤔

[The Edge]

Amarvi looks like he's out of favour. We need a decent left back and that's it for the defence. Obviously we need a quality keeper. We need to concentrate on midfield. I think Jedi is a great enforcer but too slow. A player with his defensive qualities coupled with pace and a great passing range would make us a team I could start to feel genuinely excited about.

Might be true or it might be classic football fan response once a player looks like leaving a club. I thought he was instrumental in their promotion a couple of years back.

I hope we sign Elmo.  St Elmo is reputed to cure abdominal swelling.  He can get to work on Gabby and McCormack.

[ozzjim]

He is not a right back in a 4 4 2 though. He will either play wing back or right midfield in a 4.

You only have to consider the wide range of opinions on here on players to know that comments such as "Hull fans think.." should come with a massive health warning.

I've always thought Joe Hart is massively over rated and over hyped, including by the England management.  Pep knew it and it didn't take him long to ship him out.   If he was anywhere near as good as some people think he is he wouldn't need to be considering dropping into the Championship.  He may be ok at Champo level but then so is Scott Carson, another former England Keeper who was massively over rated for a while. 

[cdbearsfan]

Scott Carson was only ever overrated, briefly, by Liverpool. Everyone else agreed fairly quickly that he was shite.

He's nowhere near the class of Joe Hart.

Is it just me who thinks Elmohamady is crap and a really lazy signing?
