Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

Once we ‘lost out’ in January, we were never in with a chance of getting him. Very disappointed, he would have been brilliant.

Yep, should have got him in January. Him and Kamara as a two in front of the back four would have been amazing.

I agree, with 5 subs this season 4231 to get a foothold in games especially against the better sides can work particularly if the 2 have the ball playing ability to step forward ie what Nakamba can’t do well. 

Getting that spine of keeper, centre halves & centre midfield right will let full backs bomb on and creators like Coutinho / Buendia freedom to roam.

Would guess signing Bissouma this summer will be a huge financial investment for Spurs with 25m + a salary that is probs as big as Kamara’s.

At the reported numbers it would have been a bit mad and especially the allegations at the time being fresher so to speak and probably much more unclear than they might be now. Plus Brighton had no reason to sell, and now he gets to the summer and as a player he gets to see who wants him and in Spurs case gets to play CL football. Doesn’t have to move too far from where he is now. It’s a very good deal all round of it works out and he is cleared of the legal issues that are hanging over him.

Now we've got Kamara in to do the defend and transition role I want another midfielder that really drives us forward (like ramsey does), sometimes to play with Ramsey and sometimes instead of him. Bissouma would've been a decent option for it but he was never the DM that we've been desperate for.

[OCD]

We were being linked with Connor Gallagher in the last day or so, he would be a good signing if Chelsea will come off their ridiculous valuation.

I can't imagine Bissouma's pleas for Arsenal to come and get him will go down well if he does go to Spurs. Pretty clear that we set a price we were prepared to go to for Bissouma in January knowing that Kamara was a possibility and when that happened we decided we've got Kamara and Nakamba with Iroegbunam coming through.

Yep. Ultimately someone to come in and immediately be better than Luiz or McGinn in the third midfield spot.

Gallagher could do the job (but plays a bit higher up the pitch) but I'd really like Milinkovic-Savic (who is seemingly available for about £40m this summer) or someone very similar.

[Risso]

Just to say we haven't really been linked with Gallagher, it's just the usual shit sites like Football Insider quoting some nobody saying he's the sort of player we should be interested in.

Yep, seems a very 'loose' link with no real substance to it. I think he'd end up being competition for Ramsey more than anything though, and I'm not sure that's what we need in this window.

Of the more substantial links I've seen Sangare from PSV is my favourite.

Gerrard said when he bought Kamara that he was looking at playing him as a central midfielder and not as a defensive midfielder so not sure why people think he will be used as a defensive midfielder.

Probably because he plays there and we're fucking desperate for one

In Gerrard's preferred 4-3-3 where else would he play?

[Jon Crofts]

Apparently we pulled out of the Bissouma deal last week so have to assume someone (better) is in the pipeline?

[Marlon From Bearwood]

Apparently we pulled out of the Bissouma deal last week so have to assume someone (better) is in the pipeline?

Or maybe we discovered last week that he was going to Spurs

[Drummond]

Probably wanted London.

[Drummond]

Matic gone to Roma. Suggests to me that they can't afford Luiz.
