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

[pauliewalnuts]

Just been looking at an Udinese forum.

Mrs came in whilst i was looking:

"what's that you're looking at?"
"an Udinese forum"
"what or who is Udinese?"
"an unsuccessful Italian football team"

*look of sheer bewilderment*

Anyway, to say they're not happy at signing Keinan is the understatement of the window.

I've got to say I smell a rat with the Saudi's putting a bid in for Salah on deadline day. Of course it could be just a coincidence & maybe they couldn't get the player they wanted for £150m, so switched to Salah.

Any word on Couthino?

[AV84]

Zych won't be able to take a spot on the bench. He's going back to Poland in a loan move.

How many is that we have out on loan now? Sinisalo, Zych, Sanson, Azaz, Kesler-Hayden, Barry..... is that everyone?

One’s gone today. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

The one you're referring to is Chisom Afoka going to Bradford.

That's 7 then, which I think, but am open to correction, is the limit for how many a team can loan out now? I wonder if that had any bearing on us selling Ramsey, Archer etc.

[OCD]

The limit is 7 players for this season (6 for next season). However, players aged 21 and younger and club-trained players (those who have spent three seasons with their current club between ages of 15 and 21) can be loaned outside of the limit.

If Liverpool get 150m plus for Salah, their owners are going to pocket a nice chunk of that rather than make it available for transfers, I suspect.

Shay Given saying Salah’s move to Saudi could secure his kids future.

Because the £350k a week he’s on now can’t do that?

Fk off.

That's pretty fucking insensitive stuff from the moron cossetted former footballer.

Wolves now in for Che Adams. They must be dying over there.

Jesus Mary, imagine that, watching your club desperate to sign Che Adams, and looking at the clock thinking "please please please make the window end before it goes through".

Ha ha ha, how do you like them apples, you mind the gap wankers?

Less of a gap, more of a trapdoor, towards relegation.

I always find it odd when footballers justify themselves or colleagues with that rationale.

Looks like Felix is getting his wish to go to Barca. Was really hoping they would cock it up and he would end up at VP

Trap door?

More like Valles Marineris...

As said earlier though it might free up ferran torres to move and, if so, I think I'd prefer him in our squad.

[AV84]

Torres seems to be working his way back into the Barca squad and playing quite well 

[pablo_picasso]

Some Barca fans are turning their opinion of him to positive & started nicknaming him "The Phoenix", so I don't think he will be going anywhere...

Apparently that Abde Ezzalzouli one might still be a goer according to various Spanish outlets.
