Summer Transfer Thread 2023! - Closed (Maybe)

[vibes_guy]

Might have been a mistake on their behalf. Maybe they were expecting bids from us and Chelsea to drive the price up even further. Unless they get Brentford back in the game the price may have gone down

I think Johnson prefers Spurs over Brentford.

So Daniel looking to sell/loan sanchez, Dier, and Tanganga, and leave Romero, VDV, davies and phillips to manage the entire season without suspension or injury.

I assume we're bringing in someone if we're selling Sanchez. Probably Tosin if Sanchez is going to Monaco.

I think Johnson prefers Spurs over Brentford.

So do I, but if we offer £38m and Brenford offers £46m then he'll only be offered the chance to go there

 

[Carl Johnson]

These two donkeys move fairly well, something we can't say about Højbjerg and Skipp

Sissoko used to move fairly well, he was still a donkey, a moving donkey.

Proper competitive clubs like Man City prioritize player's technical quality above all else when scouting, thats why they are always ahead of everyone.

Still think we have a striker lined up come deadline day. We have kane cash to blow.

You don’t need an outright no.9 in Angeball

 

[Airfixx]

Mail online saying we want eze. Reckon we could chuck in a few rejects as part of the deal. Also think we should go for Calvert-lewin and offer richarlison as part of deal. Let's be honest hes been a flop.

DCL is constantly (and currently) injured and shit.

Get a grip.

 

[Get in!]

If that happens I honestly think Levy won't survive the season.

It would be as shocking as it gets.

Do explain how that will happen. I'm all ears.

 

[Doc]

Why are we leaving it so late to bid for Brennan Johnson?

Tabs are being kept. Bid being prepared. Laying the groundworks for a potential
deal. We are monitoring this player to within an inch of his life. Hook my veins up to the transfer ticker, these updates give me breath.

10 more people get added to the protest

Not if Johnson was set on moving to Spurs. Brentford could have bid 100m, but the player has a say too, you know.

 

[Matt1882]

Can't believe how confident some people are we're bringing in players.
Despite decades of failure.

 

[Get in!]

That is exactly what Juventus is , literally

Good one. Touche.

Still, he wasn't stealing from them. He was stealing for them.

 

[Distaste for scouse]

You know you can take a day off from being a cunt right?
It's allowed

 

[Get in!]

Doesn't mean he'll want to go though. And if Forest need to sell, they may end up having to take our 38m, rather than hold on to him.

 

[peter merison]

Are we dragging our heels regarding recruitment yet again or what.

 

[Doc]

Meh he’s a bit better than skipp, I don’t think the two are worlds apart and Gallagher can’t play as a DM which we’re going to be fucked with if anything happens to bissouma. I also wouldn’t want him taking minutes from Sarr who is already probably better and has a much higher ceiling and then when bentancur is back, I don’t see the need for him at all. Would much prefer us to go after a DM to cover Biss than another box to box man.

And with Johnson I just don’t see it at all, I’ve watched him plenty of times, he’s quick and has very good movement but I really can’t see him turning into anything that special to warrant his price tag. Would love to be proved wrong but these really do seem like mid table level signings to me.

Would say Gallagher could end up
sinificantly better than Skipp as a 6/8 or any position if Skipp keeps on as he has done over the last 18 months. Actually think he's in need of a loan to get his career on a steady course again, because his play has been brutal over his last 20 or so games.

 

[Airfixx]

It's not how football is, that's how we are. We are chasing after two players who will cost altogether 100m on the last day of the window. We employed a head of recruitment, he's seen taking a holiday with the team, no one has a fucking clue when this guy is supposed to start work, meanwhile we are still consulting a former DOF done for fraud. What other club is doing this?

The almighty Man U have been scrabbling around for loans for LBs & MFs all week ffs!!!!!

Liverpool have been failing on targets all summer.

 

[Ulrikacoglou]

If that happens I honestly think Levy won't survive the season.

It would be as shocking as it gets.

Why? He owns the club. You think he’s gonna sack himself?

 

[For better or worse]

They turned down 43 million with add ons from Brentford.

Doesn't mean he will go for more. If they need cash to hit FFP etc. then they might be forced into lowering their expectations. Also we don't know the structure of the Brentford offer.

Brentford called their bluff and moved on, if there are no other suitors and they've found a replacement, then what?
