Summer Transfer Window 2017

[Raino85]

Simply go in for them right now with offers a decent way over their valuations by Ajax

Have pretensions about being a big club, we need to start acting like one

100% agree with this mate.
At the moment if someone is a top target of ours we need to go in early and over the odds.
Show we arent messing

I keep getting mixed up with Das Boot.

I think Ross needs to start showing us what he can really do. Seen glimpses of a world-class player, but also glimpses of an over-hyped English player. Which one is he?

I don't think even he knows.

...Jonathan Cafu. We are linked with lots of strikers;

Just simple facts, we can't afford to get involved in protracted negotiations - because we do that other teams will eventually come in - we struck lucky that didn't happen with Schneiderlin in reality (probably helped by United being unwilling i guess to sell toa perceived top4 rival)

The only option we have is either to find a real gem whose gone effectively unnoticed (amazingly difficult with modern scouting networks in truth)

Or do what the likes of Chelsea did when they got De Bruyne, Hazzard, Lukaku initially and go in with a huge offer very early - one that the selling club will realise won't be topped and won't want to mess around and lose that fee should they delay a decision. Other teams have done the exact same thing when they really want a certain player or two as well.

Short term it may cost us 25-50% mark up on certain players, but long term it may be the only realistic option we have to bridge a ever widening gap in terms of quality of player/squad.

Would Ajax honestly turn down 30-35m for Dolberg with a healthy sell on % attached, or 20m for Ziyech or Klassen for example

Get the feeling Lukaku will be sold myself this summer

..no links with you know who, but perhaps no news is good news.

At Malega - celta vigo.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Koeman and Walsh, wonder who they are looking at. Anyone we have been linked with play for these two?

Edit: Sandro Ramirez?

 

[MasonLeeEFC]

Walsh and Koeman at the Malaga game tonight....

Probably watching Sandro Ramirez but Camacho is a very good player and the young lad Fornals is a talent!

 

[ToffeeDan]

If Ron and Steve are there to see Celta Vigo he's picked a funny day - for one they are at Old Trafford on Thursday and for another, apart from the keeper and centre-half (Cabral) Celta have made 9 changes from the side that started at home to Man U. I'd think he's looking at a home player. If it's Ramirez he's on a streak at the moment. Seems he didn't make it at Barca (no surprise). He's 21.

Edit: Sandro Ramirez?

Malaga: Sandro, Juanpi, Ricca, Pablo Fornals, Camacho, Llorente, Ontiveros

Celta: Sergi Gomez, Bongonda, Johny, Hugo Mallo

 

[MasonLeeEFC]

think Babacar might be an option as the leading striker if lukaku goes.

Naa, I'd rather have Kalinic from them!....

Just an hunch mate, but I think they might be there to watch Malaga?!....
