Summer 2019 Transfer Thread

[Johnny75]

At the risk of sounding massively ignorant I don't think many teams play with what would be classed as traditional wingers anymore

Are we after a winger?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Joao Felix? He isn't a winger at all is he? Central midfield I thought.

 

[AndyWolves]

Are we after a winger?

Sorry, some stuff further up the thread about Lookman

I think Lookman's wasted out on the wing. He's a Jota type who could conceivably play in the inside right or left forward position.

 

[YoungWolf]

I may be repeating myself but Konaté from Leipzig pretty please. Not sure how realistic that is mind

 

[Paul]

Do tell for those of us who don't avidly follow the Bundesliga

 

[YoungWolf]

19 year old centre back. Quick, strong and looks very good on the ball

 

[Boozad]

I'd prefer Upamecano if we could get him.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ace name. Sign that defunct toy.

 

[Johnny75]

I'd prefer Upamecano if we could get him.

He's top class. Would come with some price tag mind.

Don't know anything about him other than he looks good in the highlights reel. It would be 6'5" Wily Boly on the left and 6'5" Konate on the right.

That's a big old defensive unit.

 

[Boozad]

He's top class. Would come with some price tag mind.

He would but not out of the question I reckon. He'll move soon somewhere one way or the other, he's got massive potential.

 

[Norman Deeley]

I'd prefer Upamecano if we could get him.

Oh, that's a ridiculously brilliant name. Sign him, just sign him

 

[Alan]

I'd prefer Upamecano if we could get him.

Why not both?

Signing either would send a hell of a message to the "big boys", as it were.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

I'd prefer Upamecano if we could get him.

There's a player that will retain a good resale value for many years.

 

[Lycan]

Portuguese press reporting that we're about to make Jiménez permanent.

 

[machin05]

Seems a no brainer.

 

[Kenny]

Portuguese press reporting that we're about to make Jiménez permanent.

I hope we announce he will join on the 1st July and then have fans pissing themselves silly on Twitter once the season has ended as we haven't confirmed it and someone will swoop in and beat us to him, like we did with the Jota deal last year.

 

[YoungWolf]

and O'Hara...

 

[Stan Hullis]

Really happy to secure him - he's been great all season but he really seems to be flourishing as part of a 2 rather than through the middle on his own.

He's vital to the way we play.

Indeed. Given the way we struggled going forwards the first half or so of the season when he had relatively slim pickings it's quite gratifying to see both him and Jota flourishing as a partnership. It really bodes well that they've clicked the way they have.
