Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Yeah I'm not keen on those suggestions other than JWP, As a Grealish Replacement I want a proper statement signing such as Maddison, Brandt, Marcos Asensio, Draxler.

We can't replace Grealish with one player but we can replace the type of service he provides by bringing in players that have those traits.

[N'ZMAV]

Smith Rowe going in the other direction probably!

Reiss Nelson

Buendia is the Grealish replacement. We need a brilliant Barkley replacement and someone that can compete with or play alongside Watkins.

Buendia is the barkley replacement. Bailey seems to be a mix between a replacement for Grealish and competition up front.

Who plays on the right, Traore?

[Monty]

All about the replacements now. More like Leon and Emi, yes fucking please. If it's Todd, Bess McNeil or a benchful of Tammy, heaven help us.

For now yes but I think we will sign another 10 and Buendia will start from the right more often than not, I think Bailey will definitely start from the left to begin with.

[SoccerHQ]

Get JWP, Damsgaard and Abraham in. Make a statement.

Not sure those names are a big enough statement to be honest.  That looks like 'consolidation' to me

I'm not sure on Ward Prowse but the other two would be good surely, Damsgaard excellent in euros and up and coming young player and no Grealish means we could rejig to two strikers at times next season so perhaps Tammy becomes serious option now.

We don't really have enough goal power in key areas so Tammy would help that more.

Doubt Toronto Villa is up yet but interested how Yefferson Soteldo is doing for Toronto fc. Love watching him and he has Grealish qualities of being able to beat a man but he's barely 5ft so would be a gamble but you could probably get him for 15-20m.

Think we need a busy few weeks. Pressure going to be ramped up if we struggle in our first 3 games now which looks a given considering our general form without Grealish from Feb onwards last season.

[Toronto Villa]

I’d like JWP and Damsgaard next.

[paul_e]

Would anyone have been interested in Damsgaard if he was linked in May on the back of his record in Serie A? Yes he had a good euros but we can't be signing a player just because of that.

Yes that's fair enough then. I'd still love a goalscoring midfield in the mix so we can improve goal output in other ways which is a must considering our attacking play has been built around one player for last 4 seasons, said before but Milenkovic Savic from Lazio would be dream signing for me for that.

We need to be in position by end of window where Traore and El Ghazi are the options off the bench from 60th minute onwards rather than starting most weeks so that's the metric I'll judge next 3 weeks on.

[Toronto Villa]

Soccer; Soteldo is a very exciting player. Thing is he’s 5ft 2 (I know we shouldn’t judge by height alone) and he’s already 24. He was excellent at Santos but I think it’s why he didn’t get a move to a bigger side in Europe sooner and ended up in the MLS. To us he’s the second coming Giovinco. Has all the same attributes. It’s hard to say whether or not her be good in the PL, and I think we have Buendia now who is a better overall and will much of the same things but on the other flank.

Read that West Ham can’t agree a fee for Zouma of Chelsea? We can!!!

Problem is they will now want £100m

It does smack a bit of a John Jensen signing.

Yeah I would be very sceptical of Damsgaard. His stats looked poor for last season.

[Monty]

I watch a lot of Serie A and always liked him, though he wasn't necessarily in the right system to shine. Can't say he registered as spectacularly as Chiesa or Vlahovic or so, but he has always had a bit of something about him.
