Summer Transfer Window - Credible Rumours Only Please

If he ends up being the 'number 10' that Roberto has mentioned he wants then the fume levels on here will be extraordinary.

I'm sure I will have something to say about it..

1-- i've already clearly stated MANY times on this forum that my phone puts the cursor at the top of the reply so i'm just replying "normally". If you 'fix' it so that when i reply it's 'underneath' the quote then the issue is solved. If you are unable to adjust this 'function' then i'm not sure what i can do here, happy to listen to instructions.

2-- The issue above has led to inbox messages, messages within forum threads,threats, abuse and also 'reputation' points removed on numerous occasions. However the ongoing peadophile comments dont seem to lead to people being banned or reported to the authorities which i suggest is a bigger issue and doesnt seem to be treated as such. If comments in that vein were made to say women using this site then i imagine it would be a different outcome.

3-- How am i speculating in the post stating Navas has done his achilles? A simple google search will tell you that 3 days ago it was reported. Or are you saying that discussion in here is solely to talk about the player linked in a newspaper (e.g heaton) and we cant compare that player to anyone else -- meaning only comment on how we rate him?

If so then most of the posts in this thread are offtopic? Its quite clear i have responded to a previous post and not begun any 'speculation

The other thread seems to be about speculation yet you are warning me about a threadban for speculating in there?


I'm not sure what ive done wrong here from replying to a message with a fact.

Well, I didn't know that, but scrolling down to the end wouldn't be be that hard to do and would stop everyone reading your replies from having to either read twice or to try and get our brains to see your name and automatically read from the bottom up. It's plainly an issue with the browser on your phone so I'm not sure what you expect us to do about it. Perhaps you should try a different browser ? If it's an issue specific to the browser / phone / website combination then try googling the problem with Xenforo included in the search. You might even find an answer.

If you scroll back up to the latest peadophile comments then you'll see that people have received infractions for them. Given that you spent a bit of time on here bragging or fantasising about your sexual conquests and your various girlfriends I'd say a bit of p. taking of you was fair game

I quite plainly made a point about talking about other players outside the ones we're linked with, which you chose to ignore. Obviously it's not speculation to say he's done his achilles, but it is speculation to link him with us because someone on here prefers him to Heaton. The other people I quoted don't have a problem with that request so it's basically just you who can't step back and see a reasonable request for what it is.

It's also not the first time you've brought a totally unrelated player into this thread and you plainly understand the guidelines so you're getting thread banned from this one. I might have been a bit harsh telling you that you'd be thread banned from both, so I'll leave you able to post on the other one.

Doubt he would be. More of a winger than anything else.

so not the backup striker?

 

[marty mcfly]

If he came in it I guess it would be in the number 10 role that Roberto was talking about? reckon Gibson will want to go regardless, if he's fit (yer I know) he will want to play, can't see him getting much game time with the other options we have in the squad.

I know Roberto has done very well as the deeper CM position towards the end of last season but was always considered more a replacement for Xavi and I think he would be perfect as our No10. Lovely dribbler with the ability to glide past players. Can play anywhere in a midfield 3, great movement and defensively excellent. I would be delighted if he came however I can't see Barca letting him go. He's on the fringe of the first 11 and with the transfer ban in place not likely to be allowed to go but with Pogba or another probably being brought in it wouldn't surprise me if he wants to go.

 

[marty mcfly]

Maybe as the playmaker? When we signed Arteta he was considered to be a CM in Spain but for us was a creative outlet, a 24 year old Arteta would be perfect for what we need now, I've not seen a lot of Roberto maybe a similar situation, I'm sure others on here will have seen more of him.

I've seen him play loads. He's good and unlike Del more than just potential. While its true creatively he hasn't got the best stats everything at Barca goes through the MSN trio. He could be another Arteta like signing.

 

[Robertor]

Can play there but he isn't an out and out striker. Would imagine him being the Mirallas replacement. (If he is to go of course).

If Mirallas is leaving, and that's a big if, then with his fee we should have over £30m to spend this Summer.
Can't wait to see the real quality we are going to spend it on....

Yeah, I am a huge sucker for signing largely unknown players for small fees and then them tearing the league up.

 

[LinekersLegs]

I'm sure I will have something to say about it..

Why, have you seen him play before?

Everton have made a £3.6million bid for Cesena striker Gregoire Defrel, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Defrel, 24, scored nine times in 31 games in Serie A last season but couldn't stop his side from finishing 19th and being relegated.

The Toffees had reportedly previously enquired about the striker in January, who has also been linked with QPR and West Brom.

Sky Sports.

Fair enough. I prefer buying players who specialise in one position myself. A striker is a striker. We need another one. It appears going by those reports he is a striker and not a Mirallas type winger.

MInd you, anyone but Kone will do me at this stage....

I'm not sold on Heaton really, unless he was coming to compete with Robles for a starting place. Howard isn't great but I'm sure there's better options out there than Heaton?

It looks like Payet is off to West Ham which is a shame IMO. We really need a 10 with a track record of creating chances.


I know transfer windows for us are unbearable, but this thread is almost a warzone at times over nothing lol

All I can see at the moment, assuming some of these Heaton and Defrel rumours are true, is that we are going for the low fee signings initially. Are we saving for 1 big signing in the £20m range?

Probably not

 

[kithnou]

Probably not
