Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

I'm really trying but I don't get it.

You'll see. You'll all see.

There was chat on the Totally Football podcast about the best player outside the top 6.  Nearly everyone said Grealish but there was one pundit who picked Buendia despite him being in the championship.  I recall his stats were very good for a period in the season Norwich were relegated and has seemingly improved.

If he only has 12-months left then £40m is crazy money but he’d definitely be on my list to look at (along with Pereira and Van de Beek at Man U) for the number 10 role.

Id rather Hertz Van Rental than de Beek

Wrong, he's really talented, he was just bought with no plan for him by Newton Heath in a blatant act of player hoarding.

No plan and signed for the sake of signing someone rather than because he filled a particular need in their squad. I agree he's a good player and the way they've used him is pathetic.

When Manu bought De beek last summer there was a pisstake going round where they compared his stats at Ajax with the stats of Mason Mount when he was on loan for Vittesse at 18 which hammered De Beek. Overrated

Think we're all forgetting that we have a mandatory allocation of players signed from teams beginning with 'B'.   We excelled in summer 2019 with players from Brentford (Konsa), Bournemouth (Mings), Burnley (Heaton), Brugge (Wes and Marv), and Birmingham City (Jota).  However, last summer was a complete disaster, with only Ollie Watkins (Brentford) coming in.

I'd be willing to put that down to the change in recruitment team, with the clearly under-researched transfers.  I mean, come on - from the schoolboy error of signing Bertie Traore and Ross Barkley because their names start with a B, all the way through the complete fuck up of Emi Martinez (signed from an 'A' club), and to be honest I don't know where Matty Cash came in to the equation.  An adjacent letter from the wrong name?  I mean, that's just amateur hour scouting.

I want to see us sign players exclusively from Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund this summer to make up for the clusterfuck that was the last transfer window.

What a load of baloney/bollocks/boulderdash. But brilliant.

So now we need Haaland, Lewandowski, Messi, Kimmich, Bellingham and Sancho?

Lewandowski and Messi are a little old, but 'yes' to the rest...

[ADVILLAFAN]

Linked with Flamengo Uruguayan Winger Giorgian de Arrascaeta (or George to his mates).

26 years old and was voted Uruguayan player of the year.

[Dave P]

Imagine us signing Messi and he wont even be the best Argentinian in the squad?

[Hookeysmith]

I’d rather take a look at Dan James as a speedy winger with potential. Although I’m sure there’s better out there.

Maybe his confidence is shot but any time I saw him this season he reminded me of a faster version of Trez...

I would not want any fecking shithouse from them as they would think they were doing us a favour

I'd normally say you evaluate on an individual basis, but fuck it, you're right.

Paul McGrath worked out ok for us...

James, you would think it's to Leeds he will go, they made a mess of signing him previously and is a good fit for the high pressing Bielsa wants. I just can't see what else is to his game bar running around a lot...

I'd take Tuanzebe back from United, though he seemed to get a few more games from them lately with Maguire out.

Thanks, Yoda    (see bolded bit).


I think Tuanzebe's boat has sailed unless they want to offload for free.

And Hogan.
