Summer Transfer Window 2017

[EFCccc]

I can see a loan deal for Remy coming off in a blind panic.

I don't normally agree with you, but you could be right.

Sigurdsson is a Premier League proven player who was the difference between Swansea going down and staying up last season.

How much is the Premier League worth to Swansea? I'm guessing more than the £45m we just paid out.

My point is that £45M deals between non-elite clubs for a player is highly irregular.

I cant think of another instance when such cash has changed hands between such clubs.

Can you tell me when the last time every club in the league was given 150m by Sky?

That's a very interesting measuring stick. Why not choose Messi as well?

Not every player develops the same. Not saying DCL is "the answer" but still.

20 is age enough to lead a team. Dolberg is 19 and leads Ajax's attack.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Isn't there a Jan Koller type knocking around Eastern Europe or Scandinavia? Would love a monster up front.

 

[PeregrineT]

That's no excuse. Rooney did it when he was 17.

And James Robertson is 15, is there a point in wasting our time with random peoples ages?

 

[davek]

But its only you that thinks we overpaid for anybody.

Every signing we have made we have made the market price.

That's just not true. There is no range of data you or anyone can turn to that shows a non-financial elite PL club like us spending £30M with regularity for players in this window...and to other non-financial elite teams. The elite are in a position to exact such huge fees, but not those clubs.

Anyway, that debate is now I suppose for next week once all deals are done and we can see what's what.

Now is time for wondering who the hell we bring in as a striker.

Remy isn't even of the type Koeman is after. Slimani or Pelle type on loan if we go down the loan route.

 

[COYBL25]

i cant even think how much he would cost but it would be an absolute fortune

A flat back lorry, a caravan, a cement mixer, a couple of champion grey hounds and a permanent pitch for the caravan just outside Widnes should do it

 

[trueblue10]

Yes of course that's your call you are the mod. I am sure you are aware of I was not the only one but you're absolutely right about staying on topic.

I don't mind Slimani he's not as bad as some made out. Rather spend it on a striker who does not need time adjusting to the English game.

Is this the same Salami who has struggled to get in the Leicester side in front of Vardy and Okazaki????

WHY?????????????

 

[jolteon101]

I hope we sign a left footer or two, squad is seriously lacking since Lukaku and Barry left us.

 

[cromofo]

Brilliant

You know the lad who got the PL golden boot last season and the season before?

What was he up to at 20 Dave?

 

[billyblue80]

You can get loans on deadline day when clubs are more eager to move out players to free up space.

 

[davek]

Christ. I've seen his name a couple of times in here and each time I've forgotten he existed in between.

I don't normally agree with you, but you could be right.

Southampton in for him too. I can see Koeman taking great relish at beating them to the punch on this. Unfortunately.

His goals per game record is woeful.
