Transfer Window Thread

Austin and Lukaku would get a fair few goals, I'm firmly on the bandwagon

If we can get Austin for a decent price as in reflecting reality. Sub 8 mil. I'm in.

Hes better than Kone

The actual quote:

We are looking for that area [up front], the number 10 position, and I think we need a centre-half; the three areas are quite clear.

Without being too nasty, ABOUT BLOODY TIME.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Still got my fingers crossed on Zlatan

Good luck with that, Bobby has a good record managing 30 something world class footballers

 

[ijjysmith]

True, but I'd much rather pay that price on a winger or a creative mid, then pay a bit less on a striker. Each to their own I suppose

I'm not too arsed about prices mate. If that's how much they want for a player then that's what we pay.

We're a Premier League team so we should be able to spend what is necessary on all 3 areas.

For me anyway.

I'd pay the money for Austin, not even arsed. £15m isn't outrageous in the current game for a proven slotter. Whack £10m-£15m on a playmaker and a further £5m-£10m on a centre back, as well as £4m on Lennon deadline day. Job done. Worry about the cash next year.

I think Carroll might be perfect, at risk of sounding like a broken record.

Good age, unplayable in the air, out of favour at West Ham, not a terrible touch and a hell of a strike.

Also incredibly injury prone and played for the RS.

Honestly think he's not as bad as it seems.

But seriously, we have enough injuries right now. Dont need Andy fn Carroll being in the physio room as well.

15m is far too much. Double his actual value

I have a fear that was our tactics last year in pursuit of Lukaku which is why we haven't got 2p to rub together this window

We'd need to bring in 3 physios as well and our transfer budget probably wouldn't stretch to that!

 

[TrixyStevens]

Imo there's no way kenwright & co will give Martinez the funds to buy 3 players

 

[Pabbers]

The irony of some people saying other clubs players are not worth what they want for them....

"..Want Stones do yers....8 billion lad....easy...."

So you're saying he's not worth as much as Wickham?

In the current climate, being an English striker who has scored a lot of goal in teams with very little creativity, he's worth it.

That's his price mate. If we want him we pay it.

Comparing John Stones to Austin are we?
