Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[villadelph]

I only want to see players coming in that are a significant upgrade on those they replace.  Buying for buying sake is a short termist philosophy that has landed us in the mire before.  Raul De Tamudo, is he a massive upgrade?  Channging leagues, time to settle in and find his feet etc etc.  Unless it's a sure fire scorcher I think we're going to create ourselves headache and upset good players already in the squad.  If it means waiting until January to sign the player you really want, just wait.

I assume you mean Raul de Tomas?

He has much better footwork and touch than Ollie, and can drop back to get involved in possession and build up. de Tomas is just better with the ball at his feet. He's can also take a penalty and I think he would link up well with Coutinho through the middle.

Depending on the price I wouldn't be opposed to him joining the team.

I wonder if Conor Gallagher could come here now Chelsea have signed a new midfielder.....

[N'ZMAV]

hopefully.

Watkins, Ings, Archer.

Given the past history plus the inexperience of one of them, there’s not nearly enough goals there for me.

Leon Bailey is essentially a wide forward who plays up
front either side, right or left. Perhaps if we include his potential goal contribution as well there's more optimism.
Things are looking up further still as we introduce Buendia and
Coutinho and Ramsey to the goal scoring pie.
They'll all be eager to have a slice and let them feast!

Well the past history depends where you draw the line - if it’s last year then yes, but the year before then that’s a fair few goals. Now clearly they can’t play together, certainly not regularly, but it’s possible there’s goals in Watkins and Ings.

More on Carney Chukwuemeka deal. Been told player will travel to London tonight, fee around £15m plus add ons. Chelsea will seal six year deal, valid until 2028. 🚨🔵 #CFC

Medical scheduled on Wednesday for Carney who’ll be unveiled as new signing later this week.

Big surprise.

Good money (with add-on) we need to get 5 more out the door

I would be happy with

Bertrand Traoré £7 - £9m
Marvelous Nakamba £2.5 -£3m
Keinan Davis £6m with add-on
Anwar El Ghazi £1.5
Frédéric Guilbert £500k

The Key issue is getting people out now not waiting to get higher transfer fees for them.

Then we can look to bring in two at the end of the window

Update
Carney Chukwuemeka: Chelsea agree deal to sign Aston Villa midfielder for £20m

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62398766

£20m is incredible business at this stage of the player's development. Just for extra context, that's £4m more than Brentford have agreed to sign Mikkel Damsgaard - one of the starts of last summer's Euro's who just turned 22.

Damsgaard is so cheap beacause he has arthritis

Ah. That would explain it.

Also speculated that they will sign De Jong ahead of Newton Heath
In which case Connor moves further down pecking order

[andyh]

I quite like Gallagher, but isn’t he just an over exuberant John McGinn……..on steroids?

[sid1964]

If we could get Vardy for a good price he would be ideal for us (it would also mean that he would not score against us!!)

[Ads]

Looked past it on both occasions against us last year.

He is impacting games in the way I was hoping that SJM would.

Not really. He's much younger, a better passer, and scored 8 goals last season where McGinn has 9 in 3 seasons.
