Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

Jonathan David is who we should be going for.

Hard to get no doubt, but I'd go all in for him.

We have been linked iirc?   Not sure by who though.

I’ve read it too but purely in speculative terms. Would love it to be true.

A minth or 2 back there was a story about the defenders who make the most mistakes,  Tarkowski was level with Mings.

[algy]

I don't think we'll be in for Tarkowski. He's a decent enough defender, but doesn't strike me a being particularly suited to Gerrard's system, and isn't an upgrade on what we already have.

I could see us bringing in a defender, but think it'd be more likely to be a big upgrade on Konsa, or a player to replace Hause - and I'm not sure Tarkowski is either of those.

With Spurs signing Fraser Forster from Southampton we should look at Sam Johnstone who is available as a free transfer as our back up keeper

Joe Gomez has been linked for a long time now.

That's not the worst idea I've heard although I thought Olsen did ok overall against Man City (second goal apart which he probably should have saved).

Olsen is only on loan though, but I'd guess at Johnstone would want to go somewhere and be no.1.

Maybe we're going 3 at the back. ...😉

A 3 1 4 2 formation....

Woah there! Let's not fall out. ☹️

Perhaps, but then I'd have thought the same about Tom Heaton.

Heaton was in his mid-thirties though, Johnstone is only 29.

I think Tarkowski on another 'free' would be good business. Experience, leadership and a bloody good defender, what's not to like? Not really a gamble with no transfer fee to pay.

We need a ball playing centre half, One that can distribute the ball and has a bit of composure on it
The most frustrating part of our play has been our centre halves fucking around at the back with no idea what to do with the ball that’s turned into a boiling hot potato

I don’t know that much about the fella from Burnley but he Plays for Burnley so I’m not sure he will make the fit

[LeeB]

Might make us more of a threat at set pices though, he seemed to bundle the ball home for Burnley a lot more than he ever probably actually did.
