Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Mister E]

What about Coutinho, Buendia, Bailey, Ramsey, Digne, Cash, Ings, Martinez? I don't buy the argument that the manager is getting the most out of a group of limited players, he's nowhere near doing that as things stand. This is the strongest squad we've had in a decade and he needs to get them playing better.

This is where I'm at - yes, I believe we need another good CMF to give Kamara support, but we need to sweat the considerable assets we have.

If we were to spend £60m on a striker I'd be a bit underwhelmed if it was Isak. He'll average 9 league goals a season for Newcastle between now and 2025. They'll ditch him then for their first £100m+ player. Just hope it won't be Cam Archer.

But then if we sold Watkins we would want 50 or so million, so not sure the fee is that out there.

I am more worried about avoiding relegation than missing out on Europe as things stand with the current team and set up.

We have spent money over the last few windows, but some of the players signed simply aren't good enough or their faces don't fit. Lange surely has to be under some sort of pressure?

Surely, we’d want more than 50 million? If Gordon is that, then Watkins would be more like 65/70mill, wouldn’t he?

I think other fans/clubs/pundits really rate him.

I heard from my Chelsea contact Callum Hudson-Odoi will be an option to go.
.

I heard from my Chelsea contact Trevoh Chalobah is in talks with Inter over a season long loan.

My Chelsea contacts says We have the right to work.

Ha! You're showing your age, Chris.

Fun fact - that wasn't the down with the kids rant about unemployment it sounded; Gene October was complaining about not being able to get an Equity card.

75m for a player who struggles to trap a ball? I know there's an English premium but come on...
Also, in Gordon's fee there will be a large chunk based on his potential/ceiling. Watkins is a few years older and has less room for growth.

Didn't know that.

West Ham are pushing for Lucas Paquetá . He's someone Lange should be negotiating for.
Class player and would be welcome in midfield here.

I'd imagine he'd be very costly.

When he was linked with Newcastle earlier in the summer Liverpool fans were complaining that he was someone they should be after so he must be pretty decent.

He’s an attacking midfielder isn’t he? I know you can’t have too much of a good thing but we struggle or are unwilling to play Buendia and Coutinho in the same team without adding to the mix. Good player by all accounts but not what we need.

Not in our side.  We are too weak through the middle already.

Lucas Paqueta’s reps have held conversations with 6 English clubs during the current window.

"Hello?"

"Oh hiya, could I interest you in a Lucas Paqueta?"

"No, fuck off"

"Thanks!"
