Summer Transfer Window 2017

[GwladysBlue]

That donkey that was assisting nearly every game.

Crap player.

Was he?

Everyone I know, and many on this forum, thought he was a bang average player. They money we spent on him was insane.

No he wasn't. And yes he is.

 

[BlueToff]

Sorry mate, which bit did I get wrong?
Are you saying
1) he doesn't look like a gormless albino footballer impersonator?
2) he wasn't Ajax's captain against ManU?
3) he wasn't terrible?

1) The only comparable thing between him and Naismith is they have blond hair.

2) He was, yes.

3) He wasn't terrible. None of the Ajax players had a great game in fairness, but Mourinho knew how to set up against them.

He's been consistent in delivering goals, assists and general all-round good performances for both club and country now for two seasons. He's 24 and would provide our midfield with some extra potency that it needs should we get him.

Where did the Echo get figure of £8m for Pickford from?

Seems incredibly low.Is that his buyout or something?

If he had a buyout then there would not be any of this we want £30M shenanigans!

 

[Bally8]

Oh look the first clear signs this summer is going to be like all that have gone before.

 

[Nymzee]

Why are people trusting something from the Echo

 

[BlueToff]

Completely embarrassing.

Who do we think we are offering that sort of money?

We supposedly went up to £60m for Koulibaly, but are baulking at Sunderland's asking price for Pickford?

It was £10m at the time so I don't know how or why it's now gone down £2m.

The Echo know f all. So stop stressing.

They were still linking us with a player that had already played his first game for Leverkusen back in January.

Musacchio would of been a great buy at 15 Mil

The thing is this 'news' came out earlier in May (in the Mirror, I think) and it was a £10m offer that had been turned down, not £8m.

 

[BlueToff]

He wouldn't. He's not been that good for two or three years mate. Not a regular starter at Villarreal for the past two seasons now.

 

[Brisan123]

It's open mate.

But only to let the smell of damp mattresses escape

 

[BlueToff]

Everyone I know, and many on this forum, thought he was a bang average player. They money we spent on him was insane.

We spent £23m on him.

Barring a top four finish, we're never paying £28m.

Plus, Bolasie is good and would've made a big difference in the second half of the season.

But it's all hypothetical.

Anyway, this Pickford stuff. Nonsense. The fee just keeps chopping and changing. Joyce, Hunter, Bascombe, King. OR, the trusted north east journos are the ones who will have info on this.

Not the Echo, who have been out of the loop for over a year.

 

[Moomin]

Bournemouth getting stuff sorted early, want to be prepared early for that qualifying game in the Europa league.

 

[BlueLlama]

Musacchio would of been a great buy at 15 Mil

Behind Mori in the Argentina pecking order.

 

[Peanut94]

Being linked with Diego Lorente from Real Madrid, was one loan at Malaga this season.
Stoke already bid £8.7 million but they want £13
