Summer 2014 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

[Norwegian Jim]

A mix of both then, perhaps ... But I'm just saying, we have actually bought pretty decent players overall, and so I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Broomfield was a strong factor in it. That fella has a really good eye for talent, with keeping price in mind.

Hopefully all our main guys are in agreement on this. Agree with you that Broomfield seems like a great scout.

Yep. Apparently Poch didn't know about Dier so our scouts are on the ball this season.

I bet Poch regretted wearing tight tracksuit bottoms watching Diers first training session.

The problem with selling Paulinho is we have basically no goal threat from any of the other central midfield players.

One other odd detail -- Saphir Taider, who Southampton took on loan from Inter 3 weeks ago, and was assumed to be a natural replacement for Schneiderlin, has just been loaned to Sassuolo back in Italy instead. Utterly bizarre, but probably a related consequence too.

 

[Norwegian Jim]

Remy to Chelsea it seems. He should give Demba Ba a call first.

I'll never understand the outsized love afforded Dembele and the outsized loathing afforded to Paulinho. Forced to sell one of them, I'd sell Dembele every day of the week.

Lamela, chadli and eriksen who operate as the three behind the striker in pochs system score goals and not sure I want paulinho playing in bentaleb or capoues position.

Well at one point, Dembele was our best midfielder.

You can't get the ball off Dembele, he glides past people like they aren't there but hardly scores.
Paulinho doesn't do much but does chip in with the odd goal.
Personally I feel like Dembele has a lot more to give - depends if Poch can get that out of him.

*should* - only Eriksen has shown he can contribute there consistently really

I have felt a great disturbance in the transfer window, as if millions of ITKs suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

He's on record saying he will need to leave to get regular football. A shame but there are always casualties after a new regime is installed.

I wouldnt actually call Paulihno a goal threat

What, in that game against United before we bought him?

It was the bicycle kick last night wasnt it

ochlol:

 

[ChiTownSpurs]

Paulinho can score, Dembele can take on players, what is more important for us right now? (actual Question)

 

[Mensa]

Its about who can play on a cold day in Stoke... hang on thats the one game Paulinho played well wasnt it? DOH!

I'm a Dembele guy, would love to see who would win a 1 on 1 against those two for their place in the squad, I think Dembele would outmuscle him

 

[Raiders]

I can't even believe this is being discussed. Dembele is the fucking better player...there is no fucking more to talk about on the matter.
