Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

[cdbearsfan]

Tuanzebe signing new Man U deal before joining us on loan. So we will literally be paying to help develop a Man U player. Mickey fucking Mouse.

We need back up.  If smeone puts their foot through Konsa's knee in the first game of the season we need someone to step in.

Preferably somebody of a Premier League standard who won't be injured. He has been injured for over a full year in the last three seasons.

We aren't limited on funds, in any case. We spend well over £100 million a year even when we haven't sold a player for the highest fee in British history. Suggesting we couldn't acquire a better option than one that requires us to pay for a Scab Six player's physiotherapy suggests a lack of imagination.

After Axel, two midfielders and a forward (plus 3rd keeper)

Vinne,Is that what we're after or what you personally would like to see?

I really rate Phillips but we won't be getting him. Rice is excellent too and they both had good Euros IMO.

Thought Phillips was ok but Rice was dreadful. Neither were unable to grab control of any game and pass the ball consistently forward. Sitting on top of 2 or 3 centre backs was all Rice did or pass to his full back/wing back. Both are much better with their clubs to be fair.

Absolutely.  I'm baffled by the critisism of Philips and particulalry Rice - they're both outstanding players.

Wasn't it mainly people just stroppy that we weren't shoe-horning eight attacking midfielders (including you know who) in, and they were seen as taking up a spot from a more fun player?

I don't think it was anything personal to them.

England did well to make the final considering that seemingly all but one of their players were shit, and he only played about half an hour in meaningful games. 😁

Reading between the lines, I would suggest that Axel signing a new contract with them is just to cover them if we decide not to pay the likely agreed fee at the end of the loan.

It would mean they will get some money for him from another club rather than him potentially walking away for nothing.

Engels played no minutes last year for us. So I'd imagine Tuanzebe is first cover CB and an option for full back if Cash is injured.

Like others have said we seem to like the idea of developing Bogarde. So this is a relatively cheap and v decent squad option.

Ash is cover for Targett

Further evidence of Villa seemingly accepting their place in the pecking order. Sell players to Man City, develop players for Man U.

Vinnie is to the point and passes on what he's heard. It's much appreciated.

I hope that’s right as I think that’s what we should be looking for, a better striker than Wes or Davies, a replacement in Jack’s position, a defensive mid a right sided cb and ideally another GK.
Like I say though if Man U won’t sell Alex outright they should be told to go and get fucked, we don’t train their players any more.

WTF - We've just signed Danny Ings?!!
