Summer Transfer Window 2017

[bluestevon]

I think he's sticking up for Jags.

But "lies damn lies and statistics" etc. You can make figures say pretty much what you want.

Jags had made 3 errors with VVD making 1.

Depends what perspective you take.

There's also no stat for being completely left for dead such as has happened a fewctimea with jags, does anyone need stats to show vvd is a million miles better than jags though, you just need a pair of eyes.

It's gonna be too much of a big job money wise to fill all our desperate positions this summer if we want to keep Rom for another year.

We're at the point now where we need to spend big in them positions to play catch up on the top 6 and realistically how much are we gonna spend if we keep Lukaku? 60-70m??

A new keeper is imperative (Pickford, Hart, etc 15/20m)
Centre Back we're pretty desperate (Van Dijk, Koulibaly would be nice but looking around 50m) Realistically we're looking at players like Keane (20m)
Att Mid is what Koeman wants (Sigurdsson 30m)

That's without adding much depth to the squad, gonna be a busy one next season and we'll need to add a few body's to beef the squad out to cope

I'd love to see us in for Keita from Lazio if there is anything left in the tank, looks the business

He's a real talent and has majorly stepped up this season. That said I've read articles about him arguing with the manager and asking to leave multiple times at Lazio. His attitude might not be what we need

I think we should focus on players like Kara Mbodji, De Vrij or Keane at most.

We're not getting close to VVD or Koulibaly.

I'd take Balotelli here as a second striker, nea

What's gave you that impression? Don't think he likes him that much he's just not had many options this season.

I just think he rates him, he has a mistake in him but all in all he's not a bad defender, he's a good age and has a goal in him, I think he's as good as Lescott was and a lot rated him.

I've seen worse posted.

The supposedly seriously call for a 300-400M transfer spend being today's winner.

I am not sure that, besides the Man United match, that you have watched Kara a lot. It is correct that atm he is playing well, but look a bit further back.

Positives. He has very good strength, good header and good elbows and a lot of confidence.

His previous trainer was happy that he left Genk because he was a toxic influence in the dressing room (he thinks he is the king; his words not mine). Everywhere he goes he has issues with the fans. He is one of those defenders that is prone to making mistakes (bad passes to the keeper, lacking concentration ...), his most recent idiocy was 16/04 in the game against Oostende - it's on youtube I think. He has an issue with his knee, for which he's supposed to have an operation but they have been postponing it for two years. He has no speed, as a result he constantly has to make stupid errors.

Oh and a lot of the time he's physically present on the field but his brains are absent. This all happened in one match: http://sporza.be/cm/sporza/videozone/programmas/extratime/2.49405?video=1.2948030 . Got to love free-kicks in the feet of the attacker; or even better who doesn't like CB's who try to dribble attackers and lose the ball. His nickname somewhat ironically is King Kara.

Besides this, he's an excellent player and who knows maybe he'll suddenly start playing better in the PL.

Are there any other players in the Russian league we should be looking at mate?

I know people will be scared of getting burnt after Niasse but there is surely some decent pickings there, and a host of South Americans, one or two might be worth a look?

Some decent ones but nothing imo who are stand outs, promes is having another good season, very, very fast, but overall think he'd struggle to make a huge impact here. Some ok younger players coming through, but again nowhere near the quality as yet.

Probably been mentioned but Defoe has to be a good shout, no?

As you are clearly having a laugh I will not even dignify that with a response.
