Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[brontebilly]

How about that Turkish (?) fella at Leicester who isn’t getting a look in at the moment? Looks like Terry Hurlock. Is he still there?

Whenever I saw him last season he was shocking. Ball playing CB he ain't. Soyuncu that is not Terry.

Obviously the injury to Carlos couldn't he helped but Gerrard is now completely reliant on Mings until the WC break. Just shows as a manager you can never fully burn your bridges with a player. Letting Sanson go considering the state of our midfield is a nonsense too, if Luiz isn't signing a contract then surely he should be the one pushed out.

With Hause gone we must have someone lined up unless he really believes Feeney can step up

Ryan Kent stares at phone...

[ozzjim]

Ryan Kent I thought would be first through the door when Gerrard arrived,  so having missed Sarr it's hardly a leap to Kent.  He's a very hard working player too,  so would help with the press.

I heard from my Chelsea contact Callum Hudson-Odoi will be an option to go.
.

[Drummond]

Is he the one you said we were after though?

[Footy-Vill]

No the contact said Villa were after one of the players who came on in that first game.
For a loan.
And we weren't the only ones
And that it depends on what Chelsea got in

Loftus Cheek
Christian Pulisic
Connor Gallagher
Armando Broja

But things change! No Frenkie de Jong and injuries Midfield issues for Chelsea saw RLC and Gallagher get roles since RLC unvaccinated so hard to shift. Chukwuemeka has to wait in line!
Big name attacking players coming in at Chelsea which Broja the striker told about and hasn't been involved since and he'll go same.
Same with if Forfanna deal gets done Chabolah would be available.

Reckons Everton and Leicester will take the money.

Permission to be underwhelmed please as we wait for others rejects.

[Footy-Vill]

Is he the one you said we were after though?

Because of the football pyramid, Villa is frequently sounded out for opportunistic moves by clubs' player agents, but we also have the prestige of both the club and the manager. In addition to the perhaps cynical knowledge of football, we have wealthy owners.

The Jan Bednarek stuff arose after he had a falling out with Husenhutal and fits the profile of international, premier league, and knows one of our players. The idea being he settles in straight away. Chambers was the same.

Odi, the Chelsea player, is on the radar, but it's the standard operating procedure of having previous in dealing with a club, then dealing again for another. As an example, consider Watford and Sarr, as well as the loans we did them.

I don't know all the facts and I don't like to always ask I just get told how things work and it's very interesting how people are viewed.  Though it's opinion more than anything. That's why thou since news I heard I've been underwhelmed by Lange's approach over this window . Despite the fact that it is a classic networking and keeping your contacts.
Of course, we hear about ambition, but its simply like you have to wait for the big boys to do their thing, especially on the domestic front, unless you have a very dynamic or connected recruitment team.

Loftus-Cheek was abysmal against Leeds. He’s a big useless lump, so I hope we go nowhere near him.

[Footy-Vill]

Remember we went after JWP but ended up signing Danny Ings.
There's nothing wrong with it, depending on who a club signs in the end. The issue would be any club's departure from its initial transfer strategy.
Lange still got the contacts there. That's normal though. Even if there was no first intentions this summer to deal with Saints but things happen as Carlos gets injured. And opportunities arise.

Sure there are loads of examples it's just this sports business practice
Its the pro active vs reactive way approaches

[Drummond]

Loftus-Cheek was abysmal against Leeds. He’s a big useless lump, so I hope we go nowhere near him.

He'd be a squad-filler. So precisely what we don't need.

[eamonn]

Cheers Footy. You and Vinnie Chase's contacts are appreciated.

[ozzjim]

We need a proper leader in midfield,  not a continually half fit Chelsea reserve.

Not an improvement on anything we currently have, not even that good. I've never understood the hype surrounding him.  Another reason...double barreled surname, we should stay well clear.
