Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Percy McCarthy]

I see Roma are getting Dybala, could Tammy and Luiz be a potential swap with cash?

Has there been a swap deal since 2004?

Milner/Ireland?

*shudder*

And I was in a good mood as well, ta

Plus £20m though...wasn't it? Probably wasted on N'Zogbia, mind...

They must have been laughing their heads off when we agreed to take Ireland.

He did have an amazing reef tank though so that mitigates it a bit

I read that according to the B'ham Mail - Chelsea have offered us Ross Barkley (Norwich have supposedly already said no to Ross)

You could not make it up (well the Mail probably did!!)

If only we'd accepted Onomah and his pocket money for Ratboy.

I think Barkley is a bit of a cautionary tale I’d be looking at if I were Carney. Different situations, but Barkley is ridiculously talented, but for whatever reason he hasn’t put it together. He’s made poor choices too.

[pauliewalnuts]

Remember that game at Arsenal where Barkley (and Grealish) were absolutely brilliant?

I'd jump at the chance to get that Barkley back. Unfortunately, we'd probably get 1 or 2 of those a season, followed by 20 or so Danny Drinkwater tribute act showings, with the rest of the time being spent on the treatment table.

His stroppiness at being substituted most games was embarassing to watch. Big sulky head on him.

It does indeed, there’s no way on earth he looked after that himself. Very nice.

Yep, he was great for 2-3 games, and then a 50/50 split of mediocre/shite for everything else. Plus in Coutinho/Buendia/Ramsey/Bailey/Traore we're not short of attacking players.

[Clampy]

From memory, Barkley was doing really well until he picked up an injury early on in a home game and was never the same after that. Shame really as there's a decent player in there. On a free, there wil be a few takers I would have thought.

[Gareth]

Would imagine if he wants to match his Chelsea salary he will have very few options but if he has reasonable demands and Chelsea don’t want huge fee then it would be silly for a few teams not to take a punt on him.

As long as it’s not us !
