Summer transfer window.

Ill flip if we sign Stones, a real mark of a lack of ambition:

1. His career is winding down - i dont see him arsed here beyond a pay packet waiting to retire.

2. We have enough centre half's.

3. His fitness cant be relied on to play professional PL football.

Be the most stupid of stupid signings.

….indication is Stones is asking for a big signing fee, Ake seems more likely to me given Branthwaite’s fragility and can cover at LB.

If I'm honest, Stones a few years ago I would have jumped at, but we would be behind a very long queue, now I wouldn't touch him, injury prone in my view. Ake at 31, too old and has never really stood out for me, that money could be better spent on a younger version.

We're gunna have the oldest squad in the league once Moyseh gets his way

It’s his long term planning preparing the foundations for our future.

 

[Neiler]

No to Ake as well - i dont want lads who can fill in at full back - i want actual full backs - so tired of that BS.

 

[Bluepablo]

If we sign Delap we deserve to be exactly where we are as a club.

Unfortunately this has Moyes name all over it

With Moyes record of developing strikers what could go wrong

Only if you believe every rumour that is being made up about our "potential" signings.

100% football has moved on two of PSG's best players are attacking fullbacks.

 

[Zatara]

I think Kayode will have higher suitors than us Zat and Lewis-Skelly isn't a natural left back despite playing there for Arsenal as he's seen more as a central midfielder though he'd still be decent at left back so I dunno what I'm on about

A pretty predictable list of players, hoping it’s just media talk.

Is it that difficult, with all the technology and resources, to find a natural, quality right back that can greatly improve our defence and not having to rely again on a “ that will have to do” attitude that has set us back so many times over the years and yet again having some fans trying to justify it with the “it’s fine. We will be fine “ routine?

I thought there was a sort of restructuring of the recruitment? It doesn’t look like it to me.

100% football has moved on two of PSG's best players are attacking fullbacks.

Jan 2025 we could have had Wesley or Kayode for right back and Truffert at left back at £15-20mil each.

I hope that whatever the budget is we bring in two full backs who can hit the ground running and the positions are taken seriously with budgets of £35mil for each.

If we can bring quality in for less, super. If we need to spend then spend on clear top notch players.

Exactly, also domestically years of pundits banging on about TAA, a fullback and how amazing he is.

What a match that was against Bayern, proves that the game itself isnt totally a bore fest these days after all

Compare that to the other semi final bore fest, of course Arsenal were one of the teams.

…..and Max Aarons is still only 26

 

[Quadvod]

I think there’s a player in delap - particularly as the striker market appears really difficult.

I did think Sandro was going to be a success mind

 

[Somerset Blue]

Delap is a strange one for me, on one hand he’s been an abject failure at Chelsea but it’s been such a weird season for them especially as he was new to what looks like a toxic squad and really hasn’t had a settled run. He showed promise in a poor Ipswich side and I think there’s a player with much more potential than Barry(not a high bar I know). There were a lot on here who wouldn’t have touched Strand-Larsen but he seems to have settled with a better more settled team around him. Still not sure on Delap myself but I wouldn’t write him off just yet.

Great to see Bank Holiday meltdown has already started over the most repetitive links in world football, from the most high profile sites..
