2023 Summer transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

[Richard]

Some people have no patience. I trust in Emery to bolster the squad over the next 2 months.

[Drummond]

This is one of the summers where there’s flux and it’s an opportunity for us to potentially take a big step up. It is a bit concerning that we’ve only made one free transfer so far. Pre-season is only a couple of weeks away and Emery would want players to join up for it. We didn’t spend much in January because we were apparently going to have a ‘big summer.’ Let’s see if that happens.

It's not concerning. It's that thing where someone, somewhere starts to panic and everyone else joins in. Hardly any team has signed anyone, and the piece of business we have done is very smart indeed.

Everything we've heard is rumour, there's no other football, like a World Cup, to focus minds so everyone is clamouring for news.

Every club is jockeying for position right now, and they are all, agents included, testing the waters and working out what could happen. It'll all kick off in the next couple of weeks I reckon, when teams start returning from holidays etc. The young players are still at their tournament and the senior players are on holiday after the stupid international games.

Happy to come back to this when the summer transfer window closes.

Great I make that over 8 weeks away, and we're only 2 weeks in to the window officially opening.

I imagine were just moving through our targets - the players we have been linked to are next level - and its great that were having those chats - maybe 1 of them come off.

I would imagine we have backups, and backups to our backups.

Still think Harvey Barnes will be a Villa player when the transfer window closes too

that’s true, and lets be honest the A-Grade targets will be waiting to see if Liverpool (or whoever) come in for them, so wont sign for anyone this early in the window.

It’s usually end of August/early September from memory.

ACR is the one we all want. Imaigne him doing a reverse moonwalk while stretching the shirt.

We get this every window, it’s déjà vu

Someone with wet pants comes on and says they’re worried we haven’t signed anyone for a while
Then the Billy big bollocks appeaser shows up telling us all to calm down the windows only been open for xx and a number of big clubs xx haven’t done a business yet either
 
And on it goes until the next window
I’m not judging i myself have been in both camps before now

[N'ZMAV]

some Twitter fool is suggesting Johan Lange is at Spurs. Maybe trying to nail down Lo Celso?

To become there new DoF?

he gave Jedinak a lift

That's twice in a month, Chris. You're more than old enough to remember this..

[Anthenagin]

Love that tune

[Bad English]

Plus we have Wesley and House to come back from loans - they'll be like 2 new signings :-)

I saw Wesley score with my own eyes; we'll always have Everton at home.

We've come a long way.

I remember watching that game while on holiday in France - wish I had been there - it sounded electric
