Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[Brazilian Villain]

Sounds like they've identified the need and will bring in a No. 8 if it's the right player/deal/quality for us but won't if it's not.

We needed a holding midfielder for 2 years plus before actually getting one.  Early days for an 8. No flaws in their approach at all.

Liverpool showing interest in Jacob Ramsey apparently according to Twitter

[PaulWinch again]

Sorry Footy disagree I think Bednerak is decent enough, again as back up. Michael Keane on the other hand, no.

The flaw is that by the time you get the player in that position at least one of the better players has left "because we aren't competing for trophies or getting in to europe". Then that player needs replacing and the cycle continues

Bednarek and Michael Keane. The epitome of statuesque defending.

For those slagging off Wesley, Keane made him look like Thierry Henry.

Bednarek is in a team that takes a 9-0 thrashing each season. Keane has the speed and turning circle of the sea container that got stuck in the Suez Canal a couple of years' ago.

Taking players as a decent back up, why? those are the kind of players we can never move on.

Hopefully just a loan to cover for the Carlos injury.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Thing is, Hause is a much better player than Keane or Bednarek.

[RamboandBruno]

Im really not sure Bendarek (or Keane) are better than Hause. Southamptons defence can be dreadful and whilst id admit i dont watch them closely, anytime i have seen them, Bendarek has been poor. If we’re going down this route for a year until Carlos is back, id rather keep Courtney

I think this is our risk - emi1 won’t be heat for long if we don’t get a wiggle on.

Fortunately rest of our players have been out of form For about 12 months so won’t attract interest.  But I guess as we have bought some older players like digne, Phil and Carlos if we don’t make progress they will be past there best and need replacing

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

If we sign another centre half it needs to be either on loan to cover DC injury or a significantly better player than what we’ve already got otherwise just keep Hause as cover and promote from within.

[ADVILLAFAN]

I'm guessing Hause is on lower wages than the other 2 as well.

Agree. Emi has already stated he wants European football and trophies. If we finish bottom half especially and even outside the euro places this season, he'll be looking to move on quite quickly.
