Summer Transfer Thread 2023! - Closed (Maybe)

[LEGO Boy]

Lloyd Kelly has got it ALL.

Left foot. Right foot. A head, arms, fully functioning torso and genitals.

Get him in. Get the Go Karts sorted.

Set your ringtone to the CL theme.

We’re fucking back boys.

That did make me chuckle. This club reduces people to gallows humour

Yeah, the Tanguy thing really just confirmed for me that I don't know know anywhere as much as I think I do, and how little past performance really guarantees the quality of a player as they transfer.

At least some of you are admitting it at last.
The amount of bedroom experts on here makes me crack up.

When people all realise they know fuck all and just wait and see, the better.

Is Johnson happening / happened?I

The only player from Bournemouth who caught my eye was Semenyo

Nice to see David Brooks back from his battle with cancer as well.

 

[tommyboyspurs]

and of course we get defenders for it the same as the ones who thought rodon was mustard

 

[Spaniel]

Let's see what the price is.

Youngish left-footed and ball playing, we've seen what the market for those guys is, it's possible this is a deal worth doing.

It's a Levy Green Shield stamp buy....

 

[Pedders81]

Best not look at Kelly’s injury record… he’s in a league of his own.

He’s missed nearly double the amount of games he’s actually played in for Bournemouth

Are you trying to tell me that we cannot attract and sign a reasonable replacement with that 100m plus kane fee. Or are you suggesting we just say fuck it can't get anyone as good just forget about signing anyone.You won't replace kane which is why I didn't want him sold. But now he's gone you need to put an adequate player in his place. If the club can't do that then they're not fit to run a football club.

I'm not saying it's impossible to get a CF, but who would you want? Even if we were prepared to break our record transfer fee tomorrow, who would you want, bearing in mind that:
- the player needs to be willing to come
- his club needs to be willing to sell him

It's a weird market this summer - loads of really good midfielders going all over the place, but very few CFs...

(To be clear, I'm not trying to make excuses for the club, I'm genuinely interested in who people want and think we could realistically get).

He's 6'3 and decent in the air.

Actually I have no idea what his height is, wikipedia and transfermarkt give wildly different numbers.

He is most definitely not 6'3.

Penny pinching?? The glazers have spend 100s and 100s of millions

That’s because they earn hundreds of millions more every year.

 

[Starks]

Has any footballer named Lloyd been good?

Seems quite nimble.

No. We're not doing this. Please. Not the compilations to convince ourselves.

herc says hes a good player so theres your approval

 

[FOK]

You'll get there eventually. When you've suffered 2 decades of ENIC and ridicule just for saying you support a once successful club.
You can't be a long standing Spurs fan if you don't hate them at least as much as you love spurs.

I’ve been a spurs fan since 1992 people are welcome to support spurs in whatever way they see fit.

So is my dad for his age, but I don't want him for our CB position either.

 

[JDefoe]

Lloyd Kelly reminds me of a budget VdV.

we desperately need VdV cover and I think he could be that. At least there's some thinking in that move, he suits Ange's highline well as he's a CB/LB hybrid with some pace.

I watched him play Salah really well vs. Liverpool last year, he was quite strong against ours at the end of last season. While probably distinctly average overall, he's still young and as a PL-proven rotation option we could do a lot worse.
