Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

Re the Soton thoughts on Bednerak:
"He ball watches, he gets caught on the ball, has no physicality and is out muscled way too easily. No pace either. Not a great advert for a PL CB."

This sounds like a perfect advert for a PL CB. I'd say about 80% probably fit the description. A handful at least have pace, but the rest of the description still stands. And herein lies a problem in how you improve on Mings for example. Defenders can't defend anymore. The ones that can cost 80 million quid and play for title chasers. We certainly do need a body in for numbers, but it's our organisation and coaching, particularly defending counterattacks and set plays, that need to improve and wtf happened to our high press?

I’ve been out all day… anything to be cheerful about yet? Or put the phone down and go back to the Wine?

I vote for the wine. Always the wine.

Doesn't matter, with all the doom mongering on here atm they'll convince themselves we've signed Jan Ragnarök.

Wine wins. A superb New Zealand Pinot Noir tonight… and why not?

It looks like I have my promotion course finally in October, so Wine is naturally required! Just need to pass the bloody thing and not turn into a knuckle dragging idiot with a brain full of mush. Which is something I’m incredibly capable of doing…

Cheers!

Cheerful that you've been out all day.

Ahh you must be great fun at dinner parties.

Just to qualify… that’s an attempt at humour. If taken the wrong way, I’m sorry. I’m glad my absence makes people happy.

It’s what my wife says to me too. So it must be true

£80m bought Man United Maguire a couple of years ago.

Noooo I meant you should be cheerful you've been out all day and not been enduring the misery of a Monday after the football weekend.

Oh it’s been wonderful! I’ve not had to think about football once today…

Sorry for misunderstanding!!

Apologies for the lack of clarity originally.

I actually blame the aforementioned wine for the misinterpretation in the first place!!

Wonder what tomorrow will bring? I’d love some good news story out of the club, but fear it’ll be stony silence again.

[Drummond]

We'll beat Bolton and Gerrard will be chuffed and feel vindicated.

Wonder if Bailly going to Marseille will free up Carr to come to us m at 6"4 and having some reputation to be able to pass out from the back I really hope so. Bednarek looks completely pointless.

Interestingly,  Carr is off the same agent group as Ratboy,  along with Kalvin Phillips.  They must be raking it in. They also have Auoar and Raul De Thomas that we have been linked with on their books,  so someone there is peddling their players well.

[eamonn]

Who is Carr?
