Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Papa Shango]

He'll want CL football, we don't have it. The fact he left Barca to play first team shows he's not motivated by money. He wants to be first choice at the highest level, we can't give if to him.

Thats where you attempt to make the players buy into our "vision" for the future.

Or we can just forget it because he wont want to play for someone crap like us. We need to show some ambition if we are to push forward.

Looks like Pickford is joining.

This comes from (strangely enough) a West Ham ITK (exwhuemployee) who said they were interested but he's off to us. He's actually spot on usually and was used multiple times as a source for sky transfer stories etc.

When this happens im claiming ITK status

Now that's proper random transfer thread gold

Think you have got it in the wrong mode mate...

Mirallas 20 million, probably 8/10 maximum, hopefully McCarthy stays, great back up when fit, and fits into Koemans pressing style of play.

Heard also that Barry is off to Villa on a free

Coming in, have heard Jose wants 10 million for Rooney, Koulibaly is a wet dream and won't come

Looking at Ghezzel and Willian Jose, do you think they are good enough

 

[RomanReigns]

Brendan Dickenson would have been a good replacement for Baines in the long term but after his injury he probably won't be the same player again now. Shame. Reminded me of Baines in his prime.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I'd take a peak at Ziyech while we're at it with Dolberg

Ffs even in FM land that's tosh. No one is paying anything for Barry and Mirallas would be a lot less than 20.
Ghezzal doesn't want to come here and Koulibaly won't either.
Jose wants cash for Rooney too

Colchester?

Ziyech would be perfect for the role tadic did for Koeman at Saints. Looks a better player too.

 

[Darren Higgs]

What's the general consensus on Deulofeu?
Assuming Barca don't activate the clause I'd like us to keep him as I think he'd be brilliant for us in Europe.
I think we should keep him and sell Mirallas. He needs a new challenge now, his games gone stale.

Its a shame we changed the system after loaning him out. Id have like to have seen him in one of the free roles behind lukaku. Maybe on the left cutting inside.

#WelcomeDolberg

Dolberg would for me anyway be as good as any Marquee signing we chased last summer, with the right move next the lad could go on to 've an absolute superstar, rarely been as impressed by a lad of that age, loads of talent obviously, but it's his decision making and poise he has which marks him out as something really special.

Keep Rom, get him and Rooney in for likely no more than 30m total, would really give us options up front.

Would take Ziyech as well whilst we're at it. Need to hit up the Dutch and Belgium market, both leagues we can buy from without breaking the bank, and whose players we can attract.

I am trying to be positive about this window but remember Elstone and Kenwright are still involved

Yup, just once before the window opens id love to see us pre sign some one.
Get it done and dusted straight away.
Instead i feel we are going to dilly and dally again.
We were lucky there were no other suitors for schneiderlin, and he wanted to get out of united. As we messed around with that until koeman kicked off
