Summer 2024 Transfer Window - hopes, speculation, rumours etc.

[algy]

I’d be horrified if we signed Calvert-Lewin.

Made of glass and not very good.

Don’t forget his dress sense.

That too, the perfumed ponce.

Written in some moment of drunken sincerity?

T'interwebnet and the Birmingham Mail talking about a move for Lamare Bogarde to Nottingham Forest - £4m.

He spent the last 2 seasons on loan at Bristol Rovers.

Going on the valuations of our other two nippers Bogarde has to be worth at least £30m of anyone’s money!

I'm loving all the crying on Twitter about us operating as we are. "Booooo, it's not fair! They're complying with rules that are meant to weaken them, that aren't actually weakening them!".

Get fucked Tarquins.

They're fuming on RAWK as well. Apparently, we're a 'horrible club' like Chelsea now.

We have to be careful though as we’re probably increasing our wage bill and these transfer fees will be on our books for five years.

I’m not saying that we’ve made mistakes but we are kicking the can a bit and relying on our revenue to keep increasing in order to become sustainable.

Are we forming a Claret and Blue Cartel with man city and Chelsea to take on the establishment...

[cdbearsfan]

I don't get this obsession with right and left sided central defenders. They should all be able to play either.

Bogarde looks a decent player in the making but every time he played for the u23s when he came back from loan he still had a rick in him….needs to play to develop, can’t do that in top half of PL

[Beard82]

FFPa is in its dying throws.

It makes no sense and is blantey unfair and has nothing to do with affordability or sustainability.

We’re having to find way around it despite being a well run club with no debt.

Good…suppose they thought we’d lie down and let them sign our better players this summer….newsflash guys, your manager left because you aren’t able to buy the top notch players…we are competition now now one of those making up the numbers

[AV84]

Given the comment that Unai made after the last game of the season, something like, 'let's get the PSR stuff sorted first' and the other one about 'there are no limits to our ambition', I suspect we are happy to take the young prospects like Illing-Junior and Barranechea, as we are still in the market for a couple of bigger names, including, for example, Matteo Guendouzi and Alex Baena.  Unai will improve the two Juventus signings even more and if it means losing players like Duran, Kellyman and Iroegbunam, to 'sort the PSR stuff', so be it.  They may turn out to be really useful players, but I think none will be as big as Unai's ambitions.   

Emery's also basically said that he doesn't believe in signing players for the sake of it. I think we can safely assume that the 2 Juve kids will be part of the squad.

I mentioned it before but we were linked with Iling Junior back in December/January time too. So seems likely he's someone we did want to sign anyway, we've just used the Dougie thing to get another player off them.

We seem to be getting good money for our yoof which makes it all the odd how we let Finn Azzaz go for  a couple of mill.

[jwarry]

It’s pretty clear now that we have had no choice but to raid our academy to  capitalise on our top 4 finish.  I’m sure the owners don’t like it but there is ruthlessness to us that I have never seen before.  We are going to the top no matter what it takes to get there - and when  we get there more and better kids will want to cone to our academy

[VillaTim]

It's from a Michael Kors runway show at New York Fashion Week. Can't speak for the other guy, who just looks daft, but I think on his own DCL looks quite stylish there.

Both look stupid. Too much money and no sense of style.

I’m pleased they’re irritated, but Klopp didn’t leave for that reason. I think his stated reasons - primarily exhaustion - are the truth of it.
