Summer 2018 transfer window

[Airfixx]

Fair point. However the Bale transfer is probably one of the deals that forced the market to rocket in the first place.

Am I right in saying it was a world record at that time?

Nah, he only broke the record by a token couple of million...

Neymar deal more than DOUBLED the record overnight.

 

[Airfixx]

That's true and he did break the de Ligt news to be fair, but 90% of what he says you or I could just as easily come up with.

What is De Ligt "news" you speak of?

 

[SchmoodSpur]

I really, really want Milinkovic-Savic.

But it seems he's United bound.

------------Dier------------
-----Eriksen---Dele-----
Bale-------------------Son
------------Kane------------

Looks nice. Relying an awful lot on Dier to do all the defensive work. But you're right, teams would shit it.

What I worry about is two players as greedy as Bale and Kane working alongside one another. Bale cutting in and smashing 25 yarders all day is gonna effect Harry I think.

This is why Winks is so important. When in form he can play where you have Dier.

Not saying we should play without a CDM but Winks showed he can be the lone pivot vs Real

If Winks were fit, I'd actually move Eriksen to Son's position, bench Son and have Winksy next to Dele.

Dele... most assists last year and second most goals year before... and people want to move him deeper?

We haven’t been the most clinical/ruthless team. People want to find a way to get another attacking player on the pitch.

I’m talking about a total football formation. By saying we’d use it a lot but against teams that park the bus, Winks has the ability to cover the back 4

 

[Stanley]

Switch to 4-4-2 anyone?

If Lewandowski goes, I wonder who Bayern will replace him with, at least a world class striker I reckon.

Wherever he goes, it will set up a whole chain reaction of strikers moving!

Glad we already have our world class striker

 

[RocketRonny]

You'd think someone of his reputation at a club like Stoke would have a relegation release clause.

Someone of his weight*

 

[Totti]

All for backing Poch but fucking Shaqiri?

He's not my type....but you go ahead if you want. Scented candles??

 

[Totti]

It's a big plus that he's Swiss.

 

[TheSpurEst]

It's a big plus that he's Swiss.

Only significant plus about Switzerland is their flag

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

What about haidara from Salzburg? Looks like the real deal. Could be a good option to the “number 8” spot. And not very expensive yet

I think I speak for many when I say...

...who?

Someone didn’t watch Europa league
He’s the new Keita. But not yet at Leipzig.

 

[Oracle]

Levy obviously thinks Shaqiri is worth his weight in gold.

 

[ShutUpPatrik]

Shopping out of France is going to become much, much more expensive once their new domestic TV deal is in play. Third most expensive domestic deal behind the PL and the bundesliga.

Decent, too young and rough to roll into our team. Dabbur from RBS could be a decent back up striker
