Summer 2022 Transfer Thread

[ozzjim]

West Ham are pushing for Lucas Paquetá . He's someone Lange should be negotiating for.
Class player and would be welcome in midfield here.

I'd imagine he'd be very costly.

When he was linked with Newcastle earlier in the summer Liverpool fans were complaining that he was someone they should be after so he must be pretty decent.

Lucas Paqueta’s reps have held conversations with 6 English clubs during the current window.

How can anyone actually know that.

West ham and Newcastle bidding £33 million and £58 million for players today. These are teams that already finished above us in the previous years. This just reinforces the points I was making over the last week. If we are going to compete in the market then we should reevaluate our ambitions and given we publicly said that we should be going for Europe then this announcement should be public also.

Premier league is getting more competitive than Champions league with amount of money and calibre of players being signed.

Well it's all reported though I have no idea on Villa having any talks.
Lyon president confirmed bids have been made as well as talks with various Arsenal , Spurs, Man City, Newcastle, West Ham maybe we are the 6th club. As we keep our business quiet.

Abdou Diallo, 26 from PSG linked.... 6'2 CB

sounds good

I'll raise you 6'4  Caleta-Car
Bailly has now moved to Marseille so the Croatian can leave

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.

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

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.

Well according to reports Villa will sign three players by September 1st.
I pray to God that these aren't the young players who have promising futures as academy players but rather those whose goes  in first team line up .
Signs look good and 3 in would be fantastic.

But then if we sold Watkins we would want 50 or so million, so not sure the fee is that out there.

Surely, we’d want more than 50 million? If Gordon is that, then Watkins would be more like 65/70mill, wouldn’t he?

I think other fans/clubs/pundits really rate him.

75m for a player who struggles to trap a ball? I know there's an English premium but come on...
Also, in Gordon's fee there will be a large chunk based on his potential/ceiling. Watkins is a few years older and has less room for growth.

Who mentioned 75m?

 65-70m would be about right for an England striker, I reckon, and we should be talking our prices up not down!

I wonder if Marseille is beginning to love us or hate us.

Caleta-Car is a big lad. Puts in a tackle and positions himself well to offset his lack of pace. He does look a bit cumbersome and loves a long ball. If it were to go through, I would like to see us be a bit more direct with Ollie and Leon's ability to fly, and let Coutinho trail the play with his magic wand.

Do have the feeling on that one it was more him or Carlos
Villa have scouted him before though so will know the player.
All the signs though seem Bednarek is 1 of the 3 coming in and he's the transfer for the center back.

Sorry, 65m. But 65/70/75 whatever.... the point applies. And he has made the England squad a few times but he's never going to be 4th/5th choice at best.

He's probably got two years left on his deal at Villa now, too. I think we'd do very well to get £45m for Watkins.

Sold! To the man with the excellent taste in music in Highgate!

We are being left behind - not just by the top 6 - but now by Newcastle and West Ham. I don’t see us competing with the top 8 at this point.

Depressing

West Ham have finished ahead of us the last few seasons, their finances have been greatly assisted by murky at best stadium swap. Newcastle have a rogue nation state bankrolling them like Man City. I know I'm happy with what club I'm following. If that means finishing behind them in the table, so be it.

It's all very depressing

womp womp..

Could just loan Jack back like Inter have Lukaku and let him get back to being good.
