Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Goat]

To be fair none of the Ajax boys have joined a club worse than us.

Sanchez went to Spurs
Kluivert went to Roma
De Jong will go to Barca

So its not like the really good players would have even joined us and Klaassen was their best player at the time we bought him like.

WE should have a ban on signing slapheads - never seems to work out for us since the Carsley/Gravesen days...

What if they agree to a Rooney style transplant.

Or wear a Fellaini wig.

From a "players to watch" point of view, which Europa League game would be worth watching tonight?

Sebastian Haller - Frankfurt
Ismaila Sarr - Rennes

There's a lot of talent all over but namely:
Tsygankov for Kyiv playing against Chelsea
Haller up top and Da Costa at right back against Inter
Young lad named Schlager who plays in midfield for Salzburg has looked very good the few times I've seen him
Benfica have a lot of (probably too expensive) talent (Joao Felix/Grimaldo/Fernandes) and they've got a young centre back called Ruben Dias who looks the business
Fornals at Villarreal is deffo worth a look at, I think he'd be gettable for us too, especially if they get relegated
I'm watching the Frankfurt/Inter game now and probably the Napoli/Salzburg game at 8

Benfica vs Zagreb for me right now. Salzburg game later on!

Finally getting round to watching Dani Olmo in the EL - he’s quality.

I guess we are all slapheads underneath! Rooney tried to reverse his but he will always be one to me.

Out of all the players linked Bruno Fernandes is the one I really hope we go for.

Fernandes
Lozano
Meunier
Gomes

Them 4 and a good CF and we are in business.

If I am being honest, I know the positions we need to address this upcoming window... but I haven't the faintest idea who we should target and who is likely. Would any of you give me some player recommendations so I can research who they are?

March’s Target List:

I rank the players based off value, form, future outlook, and how well I believe they’d fit into the team. 1 player at each position listed is needed in order to break through into European competition, over the next 2-3 windows.

List will be left as a spoiler to prevent wasting time of those who don’t care for it. That being said don’t read it and moan about too much FIFA. It’s purely a thought provoking post to build conversation on.

Agree with everything he said but also watch Lautaro Martinez the young inter striker. Seems to be built in the exact mold as tevez. We won’t ever get near him with Icardi’s issues and him being their preferred striker of the future. Nevertheless great talent

Brands will have an entire database of players he's monitoring. I can see us looking at emerging players from the French, Dutch and German leagues rather than paying the Prem premium.

Sarr from Rennes just tore the Arse a new one

 

[ijjysmith]

I wonder how many of the 8 million players mentioned in here so far will join us.

Let’s have a guess everyone.
