Summer Transfer Window 2017

Just as I thought.

What ever happened to the other bloke we had at the same time. Turner was it?

Davy Klaassen anyone? Ajax captain?

Bears similarities to Naismith, more of a goalscorer than a creator, even looks like him as well.

Davy Klaassen anyone? Ajax captain?

Looks decent enough

Who is buying these players?

Robles 10 million?
McCarthy 20? (After his latest injuries, no club is risking that on him)
Lennon 6mill? (Wrong side of 30, has barely kicked a ball in a year)
Mori 15 million? Rank average Prem defender.

Nobody is paying money for the likes of Rodriguez either.

Newcastle bid 20m for McCarthy 4 months ago mate, hardly think his latest injury would effect massively his value - if at all
Lennon - proven premier league player at a certain level, look around at the value that puts on a player - even at 30 years old, 6m is very achievable
Mori - 15m - rank average premier league defender he may be, he is also a starting centre back for Argentina, who has had interest from both Spain and Italy in the past according to reports, 15 is very very achievable for him
Robles - 10m, yeah will give you that one, no chance on earth he'd go for that much, probably more like 5m or so

Think there's a touch of the Naismiths about him

Good finisher, gets into goal scoring positions but fairly one-paced and not especially creative for an attacking midfielder

 

[bluestevon]

I reckon we'd get more than £15m for Mori to be honest.

So we probably should.

Roma and a few other Italian teams have apparently had an interest in him in the past, let's face it, he's a starting cb for Argentina, and that probably matters a fair bit more in Italy or Spain than we seem to give it

 

[toffeejack]

Somebody will fail to strengthen. Remember when Arsenal needed a defender and keeper to win the league? And look at how many players City rely on that were prominent during their first title. The real risk is us not strengthening

Arsenal have needed a good keeper, two centre backs, a defensive mid, a box-to-box centre mid and a top striker for about 7 consecutive seasons. Cech and Mustafi have been resonable signings, but it was hardly cech in his prime, they bought xhaka who's a loose cannon and probably sanchez could have been the top striker they needed, but they've played him mostly in midfield. It is a bit laughable, but i'll be interested to see their summer dealings vs ours.

 

[bluestevon]

He isn't mate, sorry.

Can't see him leaving Inter and, if he did, it wouldn't be too us.

Plus, he's a bit of a well, erm, loose cannon. Not a Koeman-type I wouldn't think.

Think the words you are actually looking for is ' a prize bellend'

 

[bluestevon]

Seems to me to be the sort of player we'd go for, waste all summer trying to sign even though we have no chance of getting him, and end up with Valencia again.

IF we keep hold of Lukaku, then we should go for someone like Dolberg (actually not someone like him - just him). can play up front or dropped off like Bergkamp used to be able to do, and his best qualities seem to be ones that are Lukakus weak points.

Also someone who just came out and said he wouldn't move yet to an elite club (City, Chelsea etc) as he needs to be playing to further develop.

In fact, that mentality is what we need to look for in a player - basically the same mentality that Rom had when arriving, only we are hopefully now in a position that we can progress to the level they want to aim for before they get fed up and want to move to a team already there.

lets hope they keep wenger

 

[bluestevon]

Mertens and Dolberg, probably cost a fair bit like, but both probably gonna be on the move and may be just about within the range of player we could realistically get to come

Brighton or possibly Fulham/Huddersfield might go after Joel

Newcastle would go in for McCarthy

Lennon I reckon would fit in well back at Leeds

Funes Mori to Bournemouth? They're in dire need of a CB like.

..surprised at Cuco Martina links with the emergence of Holgate and Kenny;

I think it would be a major blow to Kenny if true.

Reminds of Bergkamp in many ways, obviously not the finished article ye6t, but looks like a real star in a few years time
