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

I hope we don't get rid of Duran. I didn't think I was going to say that a few months ago. The lad has something, I'm not even sure what it is yet but you can feel it.

Same here, though I've been keen on him from the start. Like the way he adds a bit of chaos to proceedings when he comes on.

[Demitri_C]

According to the BBC, Crystal Palace have put price tags on Olise and Eze of 60 mill.

Offer them 50m and add ons and maybe that might be enough for eze. If he plays exceptionally well against us final game maybe unai might take a interest

I don’t think we’ll be spending £50m in total let alone on one player unless UE decides that he needs to sacrifice Martinez or Luiz to get a few players in.

Im not sure about that forge. If we are in CL we will need to spend money as we wont do very well in that competition with the current squad.  Its gonna be very difficult.  I think we will see a sale. If kuiz doesnt sign a new deal he will be sold (but i wxpect he will if we get CL). I think cash or JJ will be sacrificed

[Demitri_C]

This is gonna be very unpopular on here but id take darwin nunez on loan as i think liverpool will let him go in the summer.

His finishing isnt great but i think that can be coached. He is a real handful and always seems to get opportunities. I think he is a very good player.

[Dave]

I think he is a very good player.

Of course he is. And he cost them £70m and has scored 18 goals this season as their first choice striker.

Why not just ask Arsenal if they'll loan us Saka as well?

I like the way you made sure you got the Ø in Ødegaard correct, and didn't worry about the rest of the sentence.

Given how we have done without Buendia and Mings this season, I believe that selling one or both of them would be the best course of action if required. They both have 18 months remaining on their contracts.
Mings at 31 and Buendia at 27, both will command decent fees.

If developing a champions league squad it requires improving and acquiring elite players with Champions League experience
We were after players like Asensio and Felix in the summer, but they want to be in Champions League football. As we look to reach that stage, and to be competitive we will undoubtedly have to make a move for one or two established Champions League players so if it requires selling players that can guarantee us some fees then ruthlessly but with best intentions and wishes Buendia and Mings should be the first consideration for sacrifices.

Not after being out for an entire season they won't.

[AV84]

Probably nothing in it but BBC gossip page says Olise is open to moving to Man Utd in the summer.

You'd have to question anyone looking at Man Utd as a good move at the moment. I'm sure they'll sort themselves out eventually but there's still a possibility they don't get European football next season.

As long as they prove they are fit and able and god willing they both are fully recovered it's with a heavy heart to move Mings on and regrettably to an extent Buendia.
Those player sales make the most sense - if required .

Nobody is going to pay big money for them without knowing they've definitely recovered, is my point. Same with Jacob Ramsey, if we did want to sell him this summer. The injury plaqued season he's just had probably reduced his price tag a fair bit compared to last summer.

[Footy-Vill]

I don't know if it will be reduced fees and hopefully they are neither damaged goods but longer they are kept their value would decrease anyway so maybe it's best to get some value sales for them if player sales are required.
I still think could get around 50m combined for selling both whereas before injury it could have been 75m
I rather that than selling Ramsey at 50m
I would sell Cash at 50m though.

I can see Olise or Eze going to Man City especially with the talk about Grealish being sold

Football 365
‘It is believed that manager Pep Guardiola is not completely convinced by the winger and he is considered dispensable despite starting the majority of the team’s big games this season.

‘No final decision has been made by City chiefs but Grealish, 28, is internally regarded as a star who could be sold for a big fee and raise funds for other purchases.’

So we won't be saying tartar to him then?

[Lastfootstamper]

I suggest we'd be better with Mings. Compare the number of clean sheets with him in the side to without. The bloke won us points.
