Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

I’m surprised we are still relying on either Ollie or Ings when they have struggled for so long for any kind of consistency. I’d really give Archer a chance to shine, what is there to lose?

absolutely nothing.

"say it again"

[Gareth]

I’m probably One of Keinan Davis biggest fans on here but he gets injured too much and can’t be taken seriously because of it

One of the better runs he had was at Forest but he still got injured in the end
The fans loved him and wanted to sign him but Forest looked elsewhere in my view not because he wasn’t good enough but because he can’t be relied on

He’s the best we have at the club at holding the ball up bullying defenders has a good touch and plays people in with good linkup play but it means nothing if you’re sitting at home with a injury.
I mean he couldn’t even make it through the preseason tour without pulling a hammy, Like I say I think he is a fine footballer but injury prone

Agree with this, watching him at Forest he had a lot to offer but he broke down and in pre-season he did again.

My concern at the moment is other sides are starting to fix their issues (even Everton are trying to plug their gaping midfield and defensive issues). I do think Carlos and Kamara are excellent signings, but our midfield simply doesn't work, we lack pace and have little movement up front. We are 2-3 players in the squad short at the moment of the right quality.

Bailey and Archer together would give us plenty of pace and movement up top. It's not that we don't have pace; it's that SG picks Coutinho above all and plans the tactic around him.

Gerrard been saying  'we need bigger, better quality" after our defeat to Bournemouth.

It's the standard refrain of the British manager when under pressure. Not another cent he should be allowed spend without improving the group he already has.

The idea that picking Coutinho means you can’t use pace is nonsense.

True, and I didn't mean my earlier comment to sound that way.

[OCD]

I've said it before but I can see Coutinho dropping deeper and more so as he ages. Not sure how that fits with Gerrard's tactics though.

Gerrard may have no choice but to modify his tactics and there may have been signs of that in pre-season.

Linked with Ross Barkley and still no fucking strikers today.

The only way this works is we buy another 6 and play a double pivot as neither Luis or McGinn are good enough for a top half team as they both flatter to deceive and McGinn being captain is a joke!

Christ, if he comes back here I think I'll switch to following Walsall.

[Footy-Vill]

Due to SG system we're going to miss out on Mikkel Damsgaard, Maxwell Cornet, Dwight McNeill all players who would provide attacking thrusts and would provide competition for the squad

[john e]

O’Neil.   - Harewood
Lambert. -  Holt
Bruce.  - Samba
Smith. -  Drinkwater

They’ve all got a ‘ I fucking give up‘ signing in them Barkley would Be another

[LeeB]

I'm going for a shock deadline day £30m deal for Chris Wood being Gerrard's.

I take it you mean have missed out.
I flagged Cornet but was laughed off the site.

He's too flakey.

[Risso]

Dwight McNeill, a winger who scored no goals last season and had one solitary assist all year. Yes, I'm devastatedl at the thought that nasty Steven Gerrard has made us miss out on him. Won't somebody think of the children? Damsgaard spent most of last season out with arthritis, and scored two goals the season before that.
