Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

If we are looking for a striker Andrea Beloti, formerly of Torino is a free agent. Apparently, Newcastle, West Ham and Dortmund are all looking at him. Proven goal scorer and still only 28 years old.

He has three years remaining on his contract. If he is surplus to requirements, sell him rather than loaning him. Save loans for up and coming youngsters or players we can't get rid of. I'm sure someone would be tempted to part with cash for Hause, he's a solid performer.

[algy]

I guess it's a case of being able to find someone with cash to spend.  You'd think Watford would have a reasonable chance of coming back up ... maybe a season's loan there - if they get promoted, he'd be a bit of a no-brainer for them because we'd most likely let him go for a few million, and they'd get a solid player who was already settled on the cheap. If they don't go up, we'd still be able to flog him for a decent fee to one of the newly promoted teams on the back of a decent season with them.  As you'd said, he's a pretty decent player and I'm fairly sure we'll find a buyer for him next summer anyway as long as he plays a full season

Don't really want to help them out

why not? They are in the league below us.

I think he would be a great buy for Norwich.
Certainly better than what they have at the moment

They only seemed to try against us last year. Also don't like the way they change manager every 5 seconds.

You can't trust a team that ends in "ford". I've largely kept it to myself, but I've taken a real disliking to Brentford in the last few years.

Why do we struggle to sell players for decent money ? Grealish aside it's terrible business. We've basically give Targett and Trezeguet away and struggling to move any fringe player on , it seems we have to end up loaning out players + paying a big chunk of wages?

Terrible business. You'd think some Championship clubs would be after some of our players,at least??

Perhaps you can point to all the clubs that are receiving top fees for journey men and non elite players.

Have you looked at what Championship clubs are spending? Twelve of them have not paid a penny this window. And two more have spent less than a million pounds...

Didn't we have a discussion about this only a couple over pages back?

I am sure we did and I am also sure he didn’t respond to any of the points out to him then either.

Not even just the Championship - if you look at the players leaving the Premier League for non-Premier-League clubs ...

• Raphinha  - Leeds to Barcelona - £49m
• Sadio Mane - Liverpool to Bayern Munich - £28m
• Steven Bergwijn - Spuds to Ajax - £26.5m
• Takumi Minamino - Liverpool to Monaco - £15.5m
• Mattéo Guendouzi - Arsenal to Marseille - £9m
• Ruben Vinagre - Wolves to Sporting - £8.5m
• Pedro Porro - Man City to Sporting - £7.2m
• Cameron Carter-Vickers - Spuds to Celtic - £6m
• Brice Samba - Forest to Lens - £4.3m
• Leo Østigård - Brighton to Napoli - £4.2m
• Ben Davies - Liverpool to Rangers - about £4m
• Mahmoud Trezeguet - Us to Tranzonspor - £3.4m

For Championship clubs, most haven't spent anything - Norwich have bought someone for £9.45m from the Brazilian league, and there's 3 or 4 transfers around the £4m-£5m range, all for players from places like the Belgian or Hungarian leagues where presumably the wages are significantly lower than what a squad player would get in the Premier League, so not really comparable.


Basically, we ain't shifting anyone for more than about £10m unless it's either to another Premier League side.
