Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Brazilian Villain]

Is this the transfer thread or a reminisce of all our yesterdays

No concrete bids yet for McGinn or Luiz so now it looks as though they're here to stay.

[Toronto Villa]

I thought Newcastle were meant to be signing Mbappe, Neymar and the likes

I think we're looking for cash only

[Rudy Can't Fail]

A few rumours linking us to this fella..Ibrahim Sangaré of PSV. £30m buy out clause. Maybe we could throw in El Ghazi if their coach, Ruddy Horseface wants him.

Shouldn't be a problem, only Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle also reportedly interested in him.

Liverpool don't want him, Chelsea don't need him, Man United can't afford him and Newcastle think he's too boring.

[OCD]

Man United and Atletico wanted Kamara but he chose to join us.

Not putting it through the books save on the VAT

Savo got an unfair reputation. I think it’s also forgotten he was young guy away from home, where home was somewhat geopolitically unstable at the time.

Agreed, I also seem to recall the Sunday Mirror running a "Missalotevic" headline on the morning of the league Cup Final '96.

Think the problem with Savo was that we were all expecting him to be a prolific goalscorer, which he never was (at least not for us). His control, hold up play and passing could be sublime at times.

This is it. Especially when he took on the number 9 number, replaced Deano and announced himself in the premier league and said he was going to get 25 in his first season.

In that great team though, he was the player I looked forward to seeing most every week.

My grandad thought the world of Savo - he'd wax lyrical about him to all and everyone who'd listen, and a fair few who were trying not to hear.

[Dave]

I think that he was always going to be an overall disappointment when we were told all summer that he'd be playing in a claret and blue bandana and he never did.

[cdbearsfan]

I'm still angry about that. To make up for it, Lucas Digne should be made to play wearing a beret.

Is he a Winger? If so, Gerrard doesn't seem to like playing them much.

PSV are on the verge of signing someone from Man Citeh on loan.

From memory didn’t he have one on when he made his VP debut and took it off before KO. Never to be seen again

[cdbearsfan]

Just Googled the bandana, can see him wearing it on the pitch but I seem to remember he just wore it pre-game then threw it into the crowd before kick off. May be wrong, though.

Not sure if the article below sheds any light on it? (It's behind a paywall).
