Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[pauliewalnuts]

Yep, at this moment in time we’re 1 very promising young French midfielder better than last seasons 14th squad, although they have had bad luck with the CB situation admittedly. I also think the squad is capable of better than 14th, but if the ambition is really as great as we’re led to believe they need to work hard in the final week.

Absolutely agree.

Very unlucky with the injury but it has happened and left us looking like we’ve not improved nearly enough.

If we don’t see a couple of seriously impressive signings I reckon it’s another year of poking around in 14th.

They MUST surely be on the verge of signing a cb though. Otherwise Hause would still be here.

Re Feeney who a few have mentioned. He looks very promising but he’s a kid - just turned 17.

The owners stated ambitions are not currently being met by the level of the limited number of players we are linked with.  We should be fishing in the same pond as Newcastle and West Ham but appear instead to be competing with Brighton and Palace - two sides already better than us on current form.  Yes top 6 places can be achieved without top players but that takes top class coaching which is something even Gerrards own mother would be hard to name as a quality he has.  I think Sunday will tell us whether he has lost the dressing room.  WHU are currently very beatable.  If we roll over again I'd be looking for a replacement.

If that's Jan Bednarek I think poking around 14th is nailed on,  with some nervous looking over our shoulder.

I personally don't think we can expect the club to splash out silly money to replace players who get injured,  unless it's critical. A loan to replace Carlos would suffice I think for now.

I didn’t mention anything about silly money for a centre back. I just said that they need to do a lot of work and we need to hope that they make us stronger in whatever way they can. They might need to spend a bit on a midfielder though, if there is a worthwhile one that we can get.

I'm not saying you did. My post was just a general one.

The owners possibly want the manager to be getting something out of the players they've already shelled out for. Can't say I blame them.

[Footy-Vill]

Just keeping abreast of other centre halves being transferred out.
France international centre back Sammi Umtiti being loaned from Barcelona to lecce. I feel Villa could have gone for him.

[sid1964]

Listening to a football pod cast and it seems that Gallagher if he leaves Chelsea on loan wants to stay in London

Expecting much more from limited players like McGinn and Watkins is only going to lead to disappointment I feel.

Thing is a kid of 17 will make mistakes and develop and learn whilst on the job and we will say he’s not ready yet
 
but a short term cheap replacement will also make mistakes and look dodgy at times and we will say he’s not good enough


I’d rather go with developing but it’s not an easy choice

What about Coutinho, Buendia, Bailey, Ramsey, Digne, Cash, Ings, Martinez? I don't buy the argument that the manager is getting the most out of a group of limited players, he's nowhere near doing that as things stand. This is the strongest squad we've had in a decade and he needs to get them playing better.

The owners didn't make McGinn captain and seemingly a permanent fixture in the first XI.

I guess my distaste for the manager clouds my judgement, but I really don't see the point in giving him any more players when he'll inevitably be sacked before the year's out. Save it for the new guy. Unless the new guy is John Terry, obviously.

[Footy-Vill]

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

I heard from my Chelsea contact Trevoh Chalobah is in talks with Inter over a season long loan.

My Chelsea contacts says We have the right to work.

My Chelsea contact said she's up for it if I can travel down.

You've left a hostage to fortune with that statement.

No muff to tough, you dive at five, as they used to say.

How crass.
Seem to attend different gala dinners to I.

Regards latest on Odi he has chosen to go elsewhere.
So no loan from Villa.
My only news was that we were enquiring and interested.

[ROBBO]

Where are the Bednarek rumours coming from? The only youngster that we have called on is Ramsey and that hasn't turned out at all bad.

And rightly so, doesn’t look promising seems as though we struggled with the main man, Mick Beale, in the building and he’s buggered off to pastures new.

What I would say is that SG has mentioned upgrades in midfield previously so can’t be happy with what we’ve currently got. Now is that a case of they won’t come or the owners saying enough is enough, time will tell.
