Summer 2018 Transfer Window

Im starting to think hes not quite 'IT'...doesnt appear to have the athleticism needed against lightening fast players...

Good job the league doesn't really have many lightning fast strikers then really.

He's 23, massive, great in the air, and strong/aggressive, and not hopeless technically either, if he was the complete player elsewhere with those qualities then he'd be at Barca for life

Announce Batshuayi

Absolute donkey

 

[mccole]

Max Meyer - is agent thinks he's better then he is?

The German Ross Barkley

DAS RAT

 

[trueblue84]

Richarlison + Meyer and we have some really class attacking options...

If hes available its a no brainer but he wants £140k a week?

Seems to be thr Ross Barkley of Germany. Talented but a bit dim. His agent is behind him running his contract down and is potentially going to ruin his career.

Beat me to it. Literally posted the same.

8m a year, 5 year contract, surely if hes really good you would pay 40m for him?

How good is he on the turn...another Keane?

Thats the danger

Thought it was 8m?

Yes 8m i read too. Still, £150,000 a week isn't so bad when you consider you save on the transfer fee i suppose

Signing on fee and agent fee will probably be massive if he wants 8m a year.

£20mil + £70k a week makes sense.

But you cant simply pay £140k a week to someone as others will want parity.

Meyer would walk into this team

I prefer that he would run

The worry would be if he decides he doesn't like playing for us. Left with a £150k/week ornament. We've already got enough of them.

haha we're being fed some utterly horrific names at times, but if we get richarlison, we won't be getting any other wide men. I don't really understand these stories of welbeck, shurrle, iwobi etc.

When we get richarlison that'll be him, walcott, lookman, bolasie, vlasic, mirallas, sandro, siggurdsson (at a push), dowell as well as onyekuru on loan for two wide positions. We don't even have europe yet we'd have 10 wingers on our books, we'd have to offload about 5. Bolasie seems the only one who'll be off atm, would be hard to shift another four in a couple of weeks.

Lookman, Vlasic, Sandro, Sigurdsson, Dowell are not wingers. Onyekuru is not at the club and don't be for at least another year, yes all can and have played there, but for none of them is it there best or natural position.

Leaving us in reality with three natural wingers, Bolasie and Mirallas who the club is actively trying to move both on, and Walcott, who doesn't exactly have the sturdiest injury history.

Must be something bad going on if everybody is swerving him for now.

I suppose he can take his time like, so theres no rush from his POV.
