Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[ChicagoLion]

Probably but in the same way that even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut.

Is this thread not about discussing transfer speculation though? I didn't realise that any transfer talk had to be vetted and qualified before it could be posted.

Let’s rename the thread total blocks then.

Didn’t it used to be called ‘Transfer rumours and total boll*x’?

[Dante Lavelli]

He was linked or suggested a few months back.  He only has 12-months left on his contract so the price quoted was about £20m.
Looks a bargain (although the inoffensive soundtrack maybe meant I watched more than i usually would).

I'd watch more of these things if they played say Minnie Ripperton singing  'Loving You' over them.

Uh-oh, brace yourself Mrs B.

Peace in our Time by turkey necked Cliff Richards in 9T3. That was the high water mark for music and the human experience in general.

That and Dave Clarke Red 1.

Gerrard, Purslow and Lange were at a PSV game towards the end of the season. The speculation was that they were watching Madueke but I think it was accepted that it was more likely to watch Sangare. Gerrard has since gone on to say in an interview with the official site that he would still like another centre midfielder if he can. So I think there's a bit more to the story than it being complete bollocks.

We need another (proven) striker and Ings needs to go but if suitable money were offred for Watkins - we probably should consider selling him. Have Archer + new proven striker + one off Ings/Watkins

[Steve67]

I hope so OCD. If we want to free up the likes of Bailey, Coutinho etc, I'd like us to play one striker with three attacking midfielders behind that one striker. 

[Richard]

I like the idea of the 3 - Buendia, Bailey and Phil - behind one striker but that requires 2 defensive specialists behind - Kamara and Tim perhaps, not sure the others fit the bill.

[CT Villan]

I think Kamara can sit whilst allowing the other Luiz/Sanson/McGinn/Ramsey to play box-to-box. In other games where we don't want to be so expansive, we can remove one of the 3 AM's and add in another #8, or as you suggest another #6.

There are a lot of PL teams that are looking to trim their squads of unwanted players, look at the players that 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' Chelsea Arse Spuds Leicester are trying to move on. The secondary market  has contracted as Championship and European clubs are struggling financially.

I was looking at the net spends in the Championship this very morning, and it’s woeful.

Exactly this. It may look like we took a haircut on Trez for instance, but it's the reality of the post covid market worldwide.

[Smirker]

I think we will announce a decent signing this week.
