Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Dogtanian]

So that's the left-back cover sorted, looks like it's just another central midfielder to go.

[algy]

Sinisalo's gone out on loan to Burton Albion.

[Percy McCarthy]

It must be something off the field because every time he's played he's looked more than good enough to be a regular.

Could well be. Gerrard said he was going to be a big player for us when he first got the job, so I think he was strongly encouraged at the interview to get the best out of him. So I think there was no lack of willing from Gerrard.

Sanson for me is like Bailey.

Needs a full pre season and a new start.

[Clark W Griswold]

I've not really seen anything from him to make me think he could help to push us up to the European places even if he finally got his shit together, and i really think that's unlikely as we're 18 months down the road already with 2 different managers. I think he fits into the category of most of the players we've signed from France in that the talent is there but maybe not the physicality and possibly even the right attitude. Being in direct competition with Luiz last season you'd have thought he'd have had more chances but didn't which is odd.

[Toronto Villa]

starting midfielder now for me to replace one of McGinn or Luiz, or at minimum challenge them for one of the spots. And ideally a better striker than what we have on the books. That's it really

Head coaches, both past and current, do not appear to be overly fond of having players who are of high quality but are not their first choice or imposed upon them

Sanson was an old Lange signing.
Guilbert.
Like Augustinsson and Olsen.

It was interesting we held talks with Burnley defender James Tarkowski. Would he have been SG or Lange preferrence?

a new club?

That doesn't stand up to even the lightest of scrutiny.

Buendia? Gerrard loves him. Bailey? Seems to be a fan, too. What about all the other players with us that he didn't sign? McGinn and Luiz who must have started 95% of games under SG?

[Steve67]

I'm looking forward to see who the central midfielder is, when we make our move. 

[Footy-Vill]

When I refer to imposed players, I refer to those who have been signed by non-footballing people.
Those recommendations and signings are frequently doomed.
I didn't mean to refer to previous regimes' signings not being embraced because they weren't signed by current manager. And yes I do feel some transfers are favoured by sporting directors and coaches don't particularly embrace them all for one reason or another.
SG has been wise to embrace some players, but I stand by what I've been meaning to say about players not signed by the coach . Signed under last head coach, Sanson is an example of this as he isn't getting a look in.

[pauliewalnuts]

Non footballing people?

Like Lange, the acquisitions bloke Gerrard still works with?

Okay, I'm not sure what the best English is for this non-football coach.
What I'm trying to say about it as a possible factor with Lange and our past and present coach.
Other managers at other clubs have been disgruntled, disillusioned and undermined with such interference when comes to playing staff.
So I was putting that in as what I was trying to put across.

[Steve67]

Louis Barry off to MK Dons according to er, reliable sources, such as Newsnow. Loan deal.

[PaulWinch again]

Think it’s quite an important season for Louie, I hope it works out.
