Summer 2021 - Transfer Thread

[KaneDomBadBoy]

I'm fairly certain Di Maria was sold for less than he was bought and obviously Lukaka wasn't sold at his peak either.

Those transfers are more often the exception to the rule for those clubs. For every Coutinho sold at the right time, there is a Phil Jones staying far past his best by date.

Fair points. But....

Selling Eriksen for 17 million when we could have gotten 70+ million for him was a colossal failure

Holding onto Dele when we could have gotten 70+ million for him a couple seasons ago is also proving to be a disaster

Regarding Kane - had we put him on the market after he made it known that he wanted to leave and held an open bid for him, we likely could have gotten 125+ million for him. Who knows what Kane a 29 year old striker with injury histories will be worth next year?

I guess hindsight is 20/20 but you've got to acknowledge that big mistakes were made and its costing us today.

Clearly one horses head wasnt enough..

 

[AndriusTH]

From what Ali Gold said, it's pretty unlikely there'll be any more transfer incomings apart from perhaps a cheap back up striker to challenge Scarlett.

I think this will roughly be our first XI in PL and ECL once players have settled in:

ECL XI:

Are people happy with this, or do you feel Levy didn't do enough?

Feels like we’ve tweaked the squad, it’s definitely an improvement but still need two first teamers to have a chance of top 4

HAHAHAHAHA

At least you didn't draw some 5-man defensive unit monstrosity.

I bet he was a right fucking snake at school . Miss , Miss Juan just said mierda

Wish I knew how to type the whole sentence in Spanish, although Pep would grass in Catalan no doubt

 

[James78]

It's a decent side, but surely Levy , even with his most rose blinkered glasses on, must realise that it's not a top 4 side.

Haha well it's certainly clear mistakes of all kinds have been made since 2018.

 

[Mr Buttons]

Quite similar. Moriba is a bit more physical than Gravenberch, but Gravenberch is a bit more technical. If you'd tell me to pick a player that resembles closest to Dembele, I'd pick Gravenberch.

I think you have those two mixed up. Gravenberch is big, 1.9 m and bigger over the shoulders than Moriba.

 

[Chadwicks]

We haven't signed a CF on a permanent deal since August of 2017 with Llorente.

If a CF isn't brought in on a permanent deal this window then the window can't be viewed as a success. Kane is injury prone, Son isn't a CF and Scarlett is too young.

 

[TonySoprano]

If Don Paratici has been sending horse heads to all the players we've been linked with, there's a bigger story brewing at Tottenham.

He should be calling up Utd and asking them if they can let Cavani go now they've got Christiano.

Cavani would be great for us for a year or 2 as backup.

 

[Axel]

His point is we shouldn’t be terrified of selling a player at his peak if the team can fill the void and we can use the money to address weaknesses in the team.

Obviously selling Kane at any point would have been a bad move, but dele and dier are two examples of players that we could have sold at peak and probably found a better replacement with.

Hindsight's a hell of a thing though isn't it. Can you imagine the melting that would have gone on here (including probably from you) had we sold Dele and Dier at their peak, especially to rival PL teams who would have been the most likely destination... 'Small time Charlie club', 'fucking ENIC, all they care about is money' etc etc etc.

[Airfixx]

They should have just made Ronaldo a player-manager.

Pogba already has that job.....

Shit just got real for Ole now though... That's 2 cars to clean every week!

Which is why melts should not run the club. There were many ppl that suggested dele or dier should be sold.

If Cavani joined us we'd need to use him more than just as a back up. He's still too good of a player, particularly when you compare him to the quality we have on our squad.
