Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[Risso]

If we continue loaning players from Man Utd (and possibly Chelsea) that says to me that we’re still small time far more than having to sell our best player to the league champions for a record fee with it seeming that we’d rather not.
I thought our scouting network was meant to be the dogs bollocks and the best we can come up with is another loan from Man Utd. Fuck off.

Indeed.

[Monty]

Cantwell's fine. Not for £40m. Not for a team who want to get into Europe having just lost their best attacking player. I don't expect Grealish to be replaced directly, but that doesn't mean that we have to be content with just anybody. We've just signed this Bailey chap, there must be more proven, exciting and available options.

[London Villan]

433 with the 10 being a deeper player maker, Cowans-esqu rather than an attacking 10, would be my preference.

I know there's a bit of a downer on Cantwell, but I rate him. Granted I don't watch much of other football these days, but whenever I've seen him I've been impressed. He has a sureness of touch and a bit of arrogance like some other ****** who's name I've forgotten.

I don't get it at all. He's a really good player who is only 23. He has excellent movement and certainly won't have an issue linking up with Buendia. He's not Grealish, so everyone needs to stop thinking we will be replacing him like for like. What we need to do is ensure we play like we did when we had him, so buying players to fit that system makes complete sense. Dean Smith likes a high press so these players are fast on the counter and can keep the ball higher up the pitch. Our goal will be to move up the table and be more consistent than we were when Jack was missing. That's all that matters now.

Yay, lets progress into the top 6 in Europe by playing like we did in the championship and bringing back the players we had then, could probably do deals for Whelan and Hutton as well.

I like Cantwell

He’s a bit of a showman with skills
He gets my vote

[frank black]

So just buy a proper DM instead. We have the money.

Calvin Philips would be ideal.
Very Dean Smith . I think he was very close to joining few years ago and was given one more season.

? Really, maybe we should go for realistic targets

Problem with Phillips is he's actually loyal to his club

I reckon we’d be paying north of 40 mil after add ons. A risk for sure and whilst I believe it would work out well, I can’t see us taking that risk.

Yes more the Yorkshire Mark Noble than Pirlo

[Drummond]

Now favourites for Danny Ings...

[SamTheMouse]

Loaning Tuanzebe? Improving cunty teams' players for them?

Have I fallen through a wormhole and ended up back in 2018?

Assuming he'd be content to be backup? That would be a bit strange, but he would give us something we don't currently have - just a ruthless goal arsehole.

he provides good cover, he's familiar with our setup and style of play etc, can't see the problem myself.

Will be with a buy option. Smart move

[Drummond]

So now we're linked with...

Ings
Abraham
Cantwell
Alvarez
JWP
Tuanzebe
Damsgaard

Already in
Bailey
Buendia
Young

Various academy players too.

We can't say it's not interesting times
