Transfer Window Thread

[Alex Hindmarsh]

I'll tell you what it means. We where in for him.

Ah I see. Thanks for clearing that mystery up.

Who has mentioned £10m?

Completely random number to put a cap on other potential targets that could theoretically emerge over the next few windows.

 

[hktoffee]

Why did he mention Everton in public? He can thank BK privately. It seems he used Everton to get his wages up.

How weird...

 

[granter79]

[AaronTheBlue]

[TheFinnFan]

Weird but I'll take that.

 

[Goat]

Strange comment.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

we we're probably close to signing him, but he pushed for the london thing near the end and we were sound with it

 

[Jags..class]

Abit of bad news we have lost out on out first target for a cb

 

[Goat]

I sent him a little message on Twitter.

 

[Moomin]

Well it means he has held some negotiations with us but picked West Ham instead of us.

Wait till they get into the new stadium, they will blow us out the water on other transfers as well.

Thats precisely what i started a thread on though see it as 3 years left of a 5 year martinez plan when he joined.

Why? We have a team that in 5 years time with no investment in transfers will be better than it is now. Don't look at Villa, look at us instead.

Robles - 30y/o
Baines - Replaced by Garbutt
Stones - 26y/o
Jags - Replaced by Browning / Galloway
Coleman - 31y/o
Barkley - 26y/o
McCarthy - 29y/o
Besic - 26y/o
Deulofeu - 26y/o
Rom - 27y/o
Mirallas - Replaced by Henen

Even if Henen, Browning, Garbutt or Galloway don't work out we could still sell a player like Barkley or Rom and buy a cheaper striker and a replacement for any of them.

If any of those players leave their transfer would more than cover their replacement.

In 5 years without any investment we would have a better side than the one today. That's the reason the time is right to build the stadium. Squad players have always been cheap or frees for us.
