Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[sickbeggar]

Still not convinced by Alvarez. I watched that showreel against my better judgement and its the first time I've seen one for a striker which is made up of runs and passes rather than goals. His goal scoring record as it is entirely depends on his Copa liberatdores goals that seems to be a third rate CL (6th placed teams? teams with the best season aggregate?) However, at 10m you can't complain really. Worth a punt.

I don't think he has played as a striker much, seems to be a player that has yet to settle on a position. Like Barry when he came through, he had obvious skill on the ball but it took a while for us to decide he was a midfielder and not a fullback or centre back.

It seems he has plenty of talent though, so if he is available for £10m and he can focus on being a striker then pretty low risk.

Think you might be confusing the Copa Libertadores with the Copa Sudamericana.

yeah, 10m is peanuts really. so if it doesn't work out i'm not worried  Can't be worse than Davis/Samatta anyway.

[SoccerHQ]

Would make no sense to loan out a 10m signing when we've had Davis needing a loan spell for over two years now but denied for numerous reasons and you could make a case for Wes going out somewhere on loan up to January to get his fitness really up.

He'll be eased in like Traore who only started games around December.

I think it depends on how fast he settles in as to how much we'll see him. He'll have a couple of buddies that he knows assisting with that.

That can only help

If James Maddison is available, I'd like to think we'd stand as much chance of getting him as Arsenal, given he's a bestie with Jack and we have the money, upwardly mobile and basically going to win the FA Cup next season?  Either that, or there is movement with ESR and Arsenal have finally come to their senses, realising that we are dog with a bone and a better bet than them?

I do wonder why Leicester are prepared to let him go, seems strange as he is a great player and does not seem to have been tapped up by a 'superleague wanker club'. But is a great player and would be a statement signing if we could get him, as would Deli Ali or Raheem Sterling who also might be available. None of them older than 26 either so still young.

Sterling FFS no

[Steve67]

I would imagine Sterling would want to be the top earning player at the club and that role belongs entirely to one Jack Grealish.

I miss the lad/lass that used to post about medicals being booked, always caused a bit of excitement.

Vinnie's still about.

Is it our own Vinnie Chase?

I’ve not taken to watching planes just yet 😂
