Summer 2021 transfer window

[Johnny75]

Wasn't Meyer excellent in Germany? I remember being very surprised to see him still only on the bench for Palace when he was toward the end of his time there.

I can't remember seeing him play in Germany but do remember him being highly rated. His greedy agents put paid to any club wanting him.

Those are the same arseholes involved in the Josh King, Julian Draxler and Joelinton transfers

There's a great one! Joelinton, more expensive than Fabio, older, way lower ceiling.

At least we haven't fucked a transfer up quite that badly, eh?

Newcastle bought 23 year old Joelinton for £30m and he was coming off a season where he'd got 11 goals and 9 assists in the German top flight playing as a second striker for Hoffenheim.

It was pre-pandemic and values for players had gone bonkers. I think he's been misused by Bruce and others and he isn't what they needed by a long way. Saying that he isn't worth £30m and isn't suited to the PL at all.

I will make no comment on Fabio's €40m fee.

Uh

There were also many in here advocating at the time that we should be in for him IIRC. Thank God we weren’t. Think we ended up with Raul instead, but maybe I have the timelines wrong in my head. It happens at my age…

Mir confirmed by Sevilla. Six year deal!

 

[Alan]

Hard to turn down that kind of offer, from Mir's perspective.

Nah if he had a decent season he'd be back asking for 150 grand a week and kicking up a stink. Plus how's the rest of the squad going to feel when an 18 year old turns up on more than all of them.

I can't actually see anything that say's he's asking for over £100k a week, just a rumour?
He may find himself stuck at Barca if it's true, mind

 

[Freddeno]

Im getting a bit worried now, shouldnt we have a bigger squad this season and with two top players Jonny and Neto out for a long time it looks really bad..yes, we overpaid for Silva of course we did. 18 and not ready for the PL yet. I wanted a fast DM and maybe a CB..spending those sums on Silva and Semedo(approx £63m) was a bit of bad business for me, we could have got 4-5 players for that..how much did Villa pay for Watkins? How much did Callum Wilson cost?

Yes please

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Really?

 

[YoungWolf]

Lookman is excellent

 

[Johnny75]

Lookman is excellent

Not for me, don't see him any different to Adama.

 

[prawnking]

We do need another wide player though, we only have two fit for purpose, and one of them is on loan

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I must be missing something. Always thought he was a bit meh.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

One thing I can confirm. If we did sign him, getting his full name on the back of the shirt would need to be in about ten point font and would cost the GDP of Brazil.

 

[Alan]

Scored a shedload at Leipzig, didn't he?

 

[Freddeno]

wouldnt mind getting him on loan at all
