Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

Because Percy said so 10 minutes ago.

Looks like player demands,  probably watched us on Sat and thought I'll hold out to go to Palace at the end of the window.

We need a centre half and a good midfielder,  but having genuine pace in the side would have been nice and allowed us to sit and counter more.

[PaulWinch again]

I think we still need pace in attack, but a proper centre mid is essential.

Was excited by Sarr.

Getting really fucked off with how things are going at the moment

[Ian.]

It does seem a strange singing based on Gerrard’s ideas on how to play. But then again considering we was in the understanding when we appointed Smith as head coach we was going to adopt a model that if we replace the manager the identity on the football pitch would remain the same. Then Gerrard rocks up.

When did they ever say that? Frankly I think it's a load of rubbish as all managers have their own ideas. When Smith was sacked, he'd used 4 or 5 different formations in his 11 games, which one was Gerrard supposed to copy? Let's say we hadn't appointed Gerrard but somehow we'd managed to get Pochettino. Do you think he'd have come in and set us up in exactly the same way as Dean Smith?

Wasn’t it the change from having a manager to head coach and a model like Brentford? I’m sure I remember this?

[Gareth]

Not going to cry over Sarr being off, he’s a good player on his day but his record suggests those days are 1 in 3 or 1 or 4….we don’t need another inconsistent winger.

What is good is this should shut up the ‘stopped investing’ gang as there is clearly money there to spend still…just would be handy to spend it on what we need not another vanity winger….strong centre mid who can tackle and pass / centre half better than Konsa and a striker who can hold up & head a ball would be way above a winger on the list unless he is planning on switching his full backs be actually defending not bombing on.

[Smithy]

BBC now saying the Sarr deal is agreed, with the player to undergo a medical, and lots of speculation about Archer going the other way on loan.  Not sure I like the second bit unless we have another strike coming in?

[cdbearsfan]

The Sarr deal is off.

[PaulWinch again]

It is - we need to crack on and strengthen the squad.

Are you with it or really not with it?

Well that still is the model, as is bringing through lots of highly rated kids from around the country. There's no way you're not going to get a change of style from one new head coach to another though.

I dunno, I read a bit of news over breakfast, head into a meeting and it's all changed when I come back to my desk.  Clearly don't listen to me. Ever.

[ozzjim]

Tommy Jordan just confirmed a medical didn't take place. All appears very very odd.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Maybe it's a distraction bid. Also heard he was holding out for Leeds.

[PeterWithe]

It wouldn't have done if personal terms weren't agreed. Seems fairly straightforward, bid accepted, we talk to the player but wont pay him what he wants. Deal off.

[ROBBO]

I read he already had the medical and the problem was wages. I can see someone getting the boot and it may not be Gerrard.
