Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

Maybe once he’s cleared out all those whining wingers that can’t get a game, we’ll be all fine and dandy.

Disappointing you didn't go for "whinging wingers".

[Brazilian Villain]

Maybe.  I get the impression we had a chance in Jan.  I remember saying if we don't get him now we'll have no chance in the summer.  If we baulked over £10m it feels short sighted to me - we would probably have made most that back in league placings.

If I had to bet I'd say that the player and his representatives decided they were happy enough to wait till the summer. That way they could see which of the suitors could offer CL football as well the fee/wages. Looked likely to be Arsenal in Jan but ended up being Spurs. I'd also say the 'London factor' helped them.

My view is that we should be pretty chuffed we've managed to get Coutinho, Bouba and Diego Carlos for a paltry 40m (despite only finishing 14th) rather than looking for negatives in who we didn't get.

Perhaps Bissouma didn't want to come here.

You can never get all of your transfer targets.

He's talked about like he's the reincarnation of France's magic square, where in reality he's a decent midfielder for a mid table team that we humped twice last season.

We'll live.

... and he was largely anonymous in both games against us, being made to look average by the midfielders that are so often called shit by people on here.

That was my take on the VP game, he was ok but didn’t look any better than our midfield, I would certainly hope that we could have scouted as good from abroad

[Hookeysmith]

Rshford way too expensive for a player tha looks broken

Ox neer rated him and his injury record makes Bailey and Bert look like Captain Scarlet.

Jlingz.......need I say more. Plenty of on line clips of him being Billy big bollocks plus like any cnut from them they will think they are doing us a favour.

As for Phillips..I have not seen anything to justify the ridiculous price tag suggested

It's not a great idea judging players for or against based on a couple of matches against us though. I watched the highlights of Brighton against Wolves with my Doghead uncle and he was exceptional.

I reckon I've seen ful lgames with him playing about 6-7 times over the last couple of years, I can't recall him standing out in any of them and, because of how highly rated he is by some on here, I've paid a lot more attention to him in a few of those. I don't think he's a bad player and I think he could do a good job with someone like Kamara behind him, but I don't think he was ever an alternative to Kamara and I dont think signing just him would've transformed our midfield.

[Risso]

I was hoping to see something like this:

Martinez
Cash Carlos Mings Digne
Kamara Bissouma
Buendia Ramsey Coutinho
Watkins

[eamonn]

Sounds like he was holding-out for a top six/seven team,  so don't think he wudda come. I'm glad we got Boob-a-car instead.

[RamboandBruno]

Ive seen Bissouma a handful of times and thought he was decent, not a world beater. I do think we might be in the realm of rating him highly the way some other clubs fans rate McGinn.

[RamboandBruno]

And to add, im more twitchy about the forward options than midfield, now we have kamara. I dont see us getting into europe with Watkins and Ings as the only options, think we need someone else with pace.

Exactly this.
Archer maybe?
I would still want to move either or both on and replace.

Gone right off him, no way Leeds are getting anything like what's being quoted for him either.
