Summer 2014 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

[VillageYidiot]

There could be truth to this, when Sandro was injured he went back to Brazil for treatment and Vertonghen was in Amsterdam for physio during his last spell out (according to his insta). Baffled me as to why this treatment couldn't have been carried out by our own team? Maybe people are more comfortable being told these things in their own language?

 

[cahspur]

The evidence is overwhelming that our training staff is rubbish.

 

[jimmyriggle]

People will always hark back to muamba and they should always be remembered and respected for their actions that day. But first aid and treating a long term sports injury are two very different things. I they aren't up to scratch they need to be replaced and hopefully given the sort of severance package that will set them up for a long time

 

[Ledknee King]

The fact we have so many players who get injured for 3-4 weeks, and are then out for about 3-4 months, is embarrassing.

Severance package, you say?

If we go 4-2-3-2, we are gonna win the quadruple next season no matter who our manager is or the players we sign.

Keepers:
Lloris
A new signing

I agree completely. I want a young one who plays similarly to Lloris and can learn under him.

Left Backs:
Rose
A new signing

Very much needed. Probably selling Fryers because he is getting too old for U21s and isn't good enough, at the few times i've seen him, for us.


Right Backs:
Walker
A new signing

Why? Naughton is a fine RB backup. I see no problems with Naughton. I do not want him backing up LB, but he is very servicable as RB. If we sell him we'd get at most, imo, 4m. That 4m cannot buy a current better player and we don't need a young one for the future because we have Walker and young RBs in our own system.

Defensive Midfielders:
Sandro
Capoue
Central Midfielders:
Paulinho
Dembele
Bentaleb
Attacking Midfielders:
Eriksen
Holtby
Caroll

8 Midfield players for 3 spots? That's a bit too much... I don't know how to deal with this, but i cannot see this lasting. Maybe Carroll and Bentaleb get loaned out to PL teams next season? I don't know.

Right Wingers:
Lamela
A new signing

A bit harsh on Lennon. Hasn't been great this year, but he is still pretty young at 26 (turning 27 in April). I'd rather we bring in a left winger than a right winger. Between Lennon and Lamela i feel like whatever is needed for that particular game or for our particular style one of them can cover it. Two totally different options.

Left Wingers:
Townsend
Chadli

I'm okay with this, but our left side will be far weaker than our right.

Strikers:
Soldado
Adebayor
A new signing

I'm hoping for the new signing to be the number striker instead of the number three striker.

Capoue will be sold. This is on Carlito levels of ITK.

Is this not an admission of tapping up? Such a classless bunch of cunts.
(Mugging of his own keeper here a bit too)

[Melspurnian]

Is lamela dead? For fucks sakes, he's been out longer than what rose was...be like a new signing

Spoiler

wait a minute

 

[Thelonious]

out until March I've heard

 

[Smoked Salmon]

March?? FFS. So basically our record signing will pretty much not have contributed to 80% of the season by May.

 

[Ledknee King]

More proof of my point earlier, club makes initial assessment. Initial assessment waaay off.

Fuck sake.

 

[ArcspacE]

Awesome

Fuck knows. He's only going to go and pull his calf after 20 minutes anyway.

True dat. I just hope that he gets back to his old self.
