Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[ozzjim]

Gallagher and Sangaire in, Chucky and Sanson out would be a great end to the window for me. Our midfield has been our weakness for too long, get that sorted our attacking players should improve their output. If they don't, next summer all in on a striker.

I think we'd be better keeping Sanson and selling Luiz.

[ozzjim]

Maybe. I'm very shrug on either. I think Luiz has more potential and is more versatile. Sanson is a bit of a nothing player every time I see him. Best and tidy, but offers very little either going forward or defensively, without ever getting into the game.

[Risso]

I don't think we've seen enough of Sanson to say one way or the other, whereas we've had three years of Luiz and he's never been anything other than ordinary.

[Dogtanian]

What I think Sanson gives us over Luiz at the minute is a bit more directness and a bit more tempo. We have a tendency to play quite slowly and we give teams a lot of time to prepare. Sanson, Buendia, and Bailey all move the ball quicker and start attacks quicker and sometimes we need that when we struggle to break a team down.

If Gallagher is really in the mix/ club's thoughts, then surely the time to negotiate would have been while the CG transfer was taking shape  - or is that too simplistic?

FWIW: I rate his contribution to games and wouldn't mind seeing him pitch-up at Villa (but not to take penalties though!)

Yes and that’s why it’s bollocks

Looked past it on both occasions against us last year.

Still did better than Ings and Watkins despite being injured for a fair chunk. 15 league goals in 25 games, a few penalties in that lot no doubt but he's still one of the best strikers in the league.

He seems pretty injury prone these days.

I agree, although Luiz may well have that in his locker too.  He's played very few games so far at 8 and Gerrard is obviously seeing something he likes if he picks him above Ramsey.

I doubt players wives would be particularly happy having Mrs Vardy becoming part of their circle.

Maybe we could ask him to divorce her as part of any deal.

Agree with that although yes, not fussed if it's Luiz or Sanson either way really.

[Des Little]

We should try and get that Chukwuemeka from Chelsea on loan, by all accounts he's the next big thing.

[eamonn]

Too soon.
