Summer Transfer Thread 2023! - Closed (Maybe)

[Shadydan]

Wonder when Levy gave any club permission to speak to Harry? Don’t believe everything.

This isn't the 90s anymore mate, that's how teams negotiate nowadays.

I think the window is looking really good so far. Certainly moving quicker.

I think Tapsoba is going to be fundamentally difficult to get over the line. Unless the player is kicking up, there’s no incentive for Leverkusen to act quickly. He has three years on his contract, they have CL football. I expect they’re going to quote an exceedingly hefty price tag.

Harry is the unknown in all this.

Dangle a £20M five year deal (£100K pw) and we will see him kicking off to leave

Let's not do this...

Individual clips from games in the summer...

I'm just having a laugh tbh. I think vdV looks exciting generally.

Spoiler

But obviously if we go for him it's because Levy is too much of a CHEAP CUNT for Tapsoba. BURN IT ALL DOWN.

Recognize the pattern in our transfer dealings.

Maddison is this summer's Richarlison splash.

Tapsoba will be this summer's Bastoni.

There will be a fully understandable reason it doesn't happen.

Then we will spend the next few years arguing about how it wasn't because the club didn't try.

Unless Kane goes, the 40m on Maddison means our 2 CBs will be Tosin and Lenglet IMO.

Tapsoba and Bastoni two different situations. One is open to move, the other one didn't want to leave.

Know he has his doubters on here but I'd really like Harvey Barnes, think he'd do great on our left wing.

But other than him...

Harry Souttar? CB, Aussie but HG I believe...big tall fucker, proper strong in duels, looked decent enough on the ball whenever I watched him last season. Obviously not saying he'd be a starter here, no chance, but give him me for say 10 mil plus Tangs/Rodon, yeah I'd like to see what sort of magic Ange could do with his compatriot as a backup.

Kelechi? Nigerian but HG, wouldn't kick up a fuss about being a rotation player for us seen as that's what he's been at Leicester. Only started like 15 games last season but still bagged 5 goals and 5 assists. Decent backup for Kulu/Porro/whoever starts at RW for us.

Some of me mates were even talking about grandpas Jonny Evans & fucking Jamie Vardy on our whatsapp group the other day, though in Vardy's case it's probably so they can twat him at the training ground...or fuck his wife ha ha!!!

I did mean Barnes but I really meant them taking more of our players. Tanganga and Rodon for example. Although there’s reports they are in for Coady.

Goddamn it, admin, this isn't Maddison.

 

[Barmby]

Not a transfer thing but I really hope we give Gil a proper chance and not just ship him out again.

Exactly. No chance Harry will be given permission to speak to anyone. If it’s not £100 million then it won’t be entertained. To be honest I don’t think Harry wants to go. His family life will make the decision for him and that means staying in London. Might be wrong but he seems settled where he is now.

Cool story.

Same outcome.

 

[Rebrov_Likes]

I like the look of Mickey, but Tapsoba feels like the one who could come in and make a difference straight away, just his size and calmness, would have a good impact on Cuti.

 

[FOK]

No prob with any 2/3 combination

Players don't need permission to speak to other clubs, what's Levy going to do put a tracker on his phone and bug his house? They just do it either through agents or directly, there's nothing the club can do about it.

This was once called tapping up back in the day and it was frowned upon and illegal but players have the power these days, not the clubs.

In reality Bayern would have spoken to Harry just not directly. "Tapping up" used to be a thing, now it's not. These days clubs won't bother moving for a player unless they've already had an indication via the players agent that the player is up for it.

Danny Murphy is such a cunt. Media Pundit who used to play for us who I despise the most and he despises us as well.

He snide and hates us in very low key but visceral way. Like most of them he fell in love with Poch so eased off for a time now this type are fully making up the lost time

if we got those three that would be a masterstroke

I think it's exactly what we should do and we should have done exactly this three or four years ago.

Yes they do but they do it anyway. You are officially only allowed to speak directly to clubs 6 months before your contract ends. I know that doesn’t happen though.

Honestly I worry about VdV 2.0. He really only had one good year and it was the last one

But didnt you see that time he ran back really fast?
