Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[SoccerHQ]

Ryan Kent works hard but can't say I've ever watched him and thought he'd be a standout wide player in premier league or whatever inside position he plays.

Aribo would've been more logical if we hadn't signed Coutinho, had a decent start for Southampton.

Brereton Diaz would only make sense if we sell one of the senior strikers otherwise he'll just be getting minutes Archer really should be getting, he feels ripe for Everton deadline day move.

After a few years of making logical moves in transfer mark it does feel worryingly like we've lost our way in last 12 months and now it's just a scattergun approach with little long term planning so can't say I'm confident as to what is going to turn up in next 8 days.

I think signing Morelos would be the end of Gerrard.

No chance were after him

Thank god for that.

If we are after Diaz from Blackburn and a reserve defender from Spurs, could we not have signed these players during June if they were our top targets or are we now just trying to sign squad fillers who have no real chance of making the first 11?

The defender from Spurs - Tanganga, my Spurs supporting friend tells me that he did well on his debut under Mourinho but since then has not improved, but he may be good if he can get regular games in a club like Villa, where there is no pressure and as long as you stay up that will be okay - his words

Knowing Levy he will want us to pay £40 million for him.

Not seen enough of Diaz to know if he’d make the step up, or turn into another Gestede.

he will be an improvement on Watkins and Ings

Peak Spurs fan right there.

Tanganga has played a fair bit at right back as well....


I'm not a fan of the loan, particularly from clubs like Chelsea and Spurrrrrrs where a large fee might be involved. And if they're involving players like Hudson-Odoi (who appears somewhat self-entitled), RLC (just underwhelming) or Tanganga (now 3rd choice at Spurrrrrrs) it doesn't look great.

Not sure that’s true.

[Clark W Griswold]

Loaning Tanganga would be a small time move if that’s what’s happening. I thought we were supposed to be competing with the likes of Spurs very soon, not borrowing their surplus and even more importantly he’s not really very good anyway.

[ROBBO]

I thought we were passed the stage of loaning players, give our young kids a chance.

[PaulWinch again]

Where on earth has this reference to Tanganga come from? I can’t see it anywhere.

We are miles away from competing with Spurs, as sad as that sounds.

After the initial early signings its all got a bit flat to say the least.

Fingers crossed I'm surprised by the club going under the radar and signing some good players no one was expecting. Can't see it this late in the window though but happy too be proved wrong Mr Lange.

[ozzjim]

I would sooner pay Feeney than loan a Spurs player. Unless it's Son. I'd happily loan Son.

That other bloke up front is ok, Harry someone…

Not against loaning players in they’re better than what we have.
