Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Risso]

Wasn't it £3m plus Onomah they reportedly offered? Hard to see that the new owners would have accepted that even if it was a million quid more.

Very Daniel Levy.  The reason Richardson was signed, on the day he was signed, was because Everton needed the cash in this year’s accounts.  Whilst the qualities of Richarlison can be debated you just know Levy was treating the deal like a fire-sale trying to squeeze Everton in every way possible.

A bit like us with Coutinho! With FFP our owner's biggest limitation in getting us up the table, you have to take every advantage you can in the transfer market. Spurs have done this really well over the last ten years which has enabled them to stay up in that top 6.

Linked with Konrad Laimer. Reading about him, he sounds really good. Going into the last year of his contract too so the talk is of a £20m price tag.

Never heard of him but Google suggest Bayern are keen so must be decent.

The article I read said he’d agreed personal terms with Bayern but Leipzig want to sell abroad. Described as a Number 6.

If we sign two of them this window then surely we must sell Marvellous? Or does SG want a double pivot with Ramsey/mcGinn playing with less handbrake?

[OCD]

From what I read, Bayern have had to pull out.

For the full-backs to provide the width, there's more defensive responsibilities for the midfielders so I think a lot of time that will effectively be a double pivot. Protect the centre backs better and retain the ball better.

[WassallVillain]

It's not that he's bad, he's just not particularly good either. I genuinely have no idea what he does well.

Anyway the press have linked us to him so I have no doubt what so ever that we are not in for him. We've proven time and time again that very few people out there know our next move.

agreed
from the games I've seen , a poor mans Douglas

Whenever I’ve seen him play he reminds me of a poor man’s Gareth Barry but that does set the bar quite high IMO.  I know it’s not a popular viewpoint but I quite like him.  As earlier poster said not bad but not good we’ve had plenty of those over the years who made great contributions to our successes. The steady Eddie water carrier should not be dismissed.   

[Clark W Griswold]

Yes, but we've got plenty of those already. We have no bite, i mean McGinn has a go but can only really be compared to a Jack Russell, we need a Doberman Pinscher or a Pitbull. Luiz has about as much bite as a Chihuahua with no teeth.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

The Luis Suarez deal to River Plate has collapsed so we may go back there if we were every interested. Not really the type of signing I'd have hoped for but owt's better than nowt.

[cdbearsfan]

Fuck Suarez. Has Lewandowski gone anywhere yet?

[LukeJames]

I love Lewandowski, £40m for a 34 year old though. No wonder Barcelona are in Financial ruin.

Rumours that Winks is having a medical this afternoon

Well seems like it’s a good day to bury bad news

Thankfully that appears to be a load of horlicks.

Good, I can sleep better at night now

Signing any players during or after the Australian tour isn't ideal, and if signed after, there's the risk of a settling in period.
I would have been delighted if transfer changes had been made prior to this commercial preseason tour.

It may do more harm than good in the long run and may be used for a reason if the season starts slowly or if any new players arrive and are not integrated as well as they could have been.

I agree, Footy.  I think a good part of Smith's undoing last season was down to having Grealish leave and Bailey and Ings join all so close to the start of the season.  Think both Bailey & Ings will look much better this coming season, purely through having a proper pre-season in them.
