Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

Hopefully it means we’ve got more coming in and this is the first of a couple. If not, it’s a strange one on its own.

Based on the way the team is set up it’s bonkers.

It's a strange one regardless. Unnecessary.

I don't, I'm sure he can drop in to cover Cash, ffs

[Clark W Griswold]

Yep, no idea why we’re signing Sarr when we already have Watkins, Ings, Coutinho, Buendia, Bailey and Archer for the front three and can’t accommodate them all.
Central midfield still the biggest issue.

[aj2k77]

Dog shit signing this one. Another bloke to stand out there watching as we get over run in midfield and out of position in defence. We need a big, solid mobile bastard to play with Kamara and replace Mcginn in the team, who's shite.

[brontebilly]

Our continued efforts to replace Jack Grealish are shambolic. It started with Ings and now Sarr.

Agreed.

[Beard82]

No idea why we’re signing Sarr for 24m - doesn’t suit any formation SG plays - feels panicked.

Not as good as Bailey, probably not much better than Bert. 

Our midfield is shite, Mings seems to be our only functioning CB - we have no
Cover for left or right back.  So let’s sign a winger when we don’t play them

Something needs to start making sense before we start looking like Everton

[Smirker]

At least he's got resale value and it adds strength in depth.

The downside is we probably won't need strength in depth when we fail to qualify for Europe again.

[Footy-Vill]

With the late dash of the window and way we go opportunistic then Harry Winks would be one wouldn't he.
No game time and a certain pedigree.
I draw the line at Bednarek and Barkley coming in.
Gallagher is at a push depending on Chelsea business

[CT Villan]

Sarr will be competition for Bailey and nothing more. There is no masterplan.

[eamonn]

Can anyone give a decent anaylsis of Sarr? Hopefully he at least has pace to burn and can carry the ball comfortably.

[Paul.S]

Can he play central midfield?

[ozzjim]

Winks is too lightweight ffs.

We blatantly need a couple of bigger,  stronger players. We are way too lightweight.

Matt Targett certainly can, was totally taken to the cleaners on opening day of last season by Sarr. Also set up the goal Watford scored at VP.

I think this is more a club signing than Gerrard but then he can hardly complain can he? Digne, Coutinho, Carlos and Kamara all signed on his request in last six months.

Sarr is very easy to drop into front 3/ 4-2-3-1 once we change the manager so amongst all the bemusement I think a long term viewpoint needs to be adopted to this.

He's only 24 and has good experience in european leagues now and 25m or so is reasonable price for that sort of profile these days.
