Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

If I was looking at a forward at Chelsea i'd be going for Pulisic. Now he can play wide of Watkins and do Watkin's job if he was injured. 50m should do it.

yep he is awesome

Pulisic is obviously unavailable but he is the right sort of player we should be looking for. Get that right and then add a quality defensive midfielder and I'd be pretty happy with where the squad is, maybe just looking for a cover player or 2 then, depending on how far along Smith thinks the U23s are.

Is Dean Smith the kind of Manager to pull in top names? Just a question as genuinely interested what people think.

Worse output goals and assist wise than Bertie, in a better side.

Think the talk of Tammy being a mid table or even Championship striker is odd. Self-evidently he can hold a place down at a top 4 team, since he did pretty well at Chelsea under Lampard. He'll also settle in quickly, you'd think.

He's an odd one. If we were bringing in 2 or 3 players I'd probably not have picked him out, but - like Ashley Young - he's such a low risk signing for us that it might make sense. We could have a fairly busy window yet still keep a settled squad.

I dunno, I was a skeptic yesterday but I'm kind of coming round to the idea that actually, if we're planning on gate crashing the upper echelons of the league this coming season then he makes perfect sense. And right now is the time to do that - FFP will be relaxed, but very few teams in the world will be able to take advantage of that. And we're one of the few that can.

No. He also won't get us promoted, won't keep us up and he's taken us as far as he can.

I like Tammy and he is  capable of playing for a top 6 side and delivering, because he has dome exactly that. But, I think a more versatile 2nd striker type that can switch wide or deep is probably more what we need.

Arsenal having to sell before the can buy. 3 players potentially on their way out and they cannot afford to pay up front what Brighton want for White.

Take our money for ESR you skint rats.

At 40 mill i don't think Tammy is low risk.

[sid1964]

I agree the players we have signed from the Championship have done well and taken us to 11th in the premier league, to take the next step so we are challenging regularly for a European position in the league we will need better quality than top Championship players.

A quality player is a quality player. It's self evident that Konsa would fit in anywhere in the league, he's exceptional. He came from Brentford, but a Championship player is not.

Christ, I'm glad we signed Konsa from Brentford and not Mepham, he's a right donkey.
