Summer 2021 transfer window

[Tony Towner]

Feels very made up. Henderson wouldn't be of interest now and West Ham would give Utd £30m for Lingard if they'd take it

 

[Freddeno]

Online article saying about Uniteds interest in neves and there is 4 players they could include in the deal. Dalot, Henderson, Bailly and lingard,

would taking any of them plus cash be appealing? As much as I want to keep neves, lingard wouldn’t be a bad addition

Lingard the only one

 

[Carsy]

No thanks.

We have a silly amount of right backs as it is, we've just bought a new keeper, Bailly is the George Ndah of centre halves and other than half a dozen decent games for West Ham, Lingard has done nothing for years, nor do we have anywhere to play him.

Lingard could play either wing or as a 2nd striker so strongly disagree on that point.

don’t want neves to go, but if we get cash plus Jesse then not a bad thing IMO especially if the cash allows to contribute towards a replacement

probably a false rumour. However, let’s be honest, most rumours are …

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We've just signed Trincao and Adama will be back in the squad next week. That leaves no room for Lingard out wide (he only plays on the right), he isn't as good as either of them.

Don't think he has ever played up front?

 

[YoungWolf]

Lingard could play in the ten role MGW played yesterday (and would do it fairly well I think) but is 29 this year, would block MGW if Lage rates him and would definitely not be worth selling Ruben for.

 

[Tony Towner]

I think he played as an old fashioned 10 on loan at Blues

 

[Carsy]

Doesn’t lage play inverted wingers? If so then Ofcourse he can play there.

think people need to be more open minded with the 2 up front. It can change into a 4231, 4411 split of a second. Traore has never played upfront until he was here for example.

not saying I’m an advocate for the move but if there was a swap deal I would only entertain lingard

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's also on £75k a week.

Wasn’t saying sell neves for. Used as a makeshift, again not advocating the love but out of the 3 given it would be the only one I’d entertain

 

[prawnking]

Lingard is a punchline of a footballer, we may as well sign Phil Jones

Don’t rate time then

 

[Kenny]

Still have flashbacks of our lads waving him through at Molineux as if he had a high speed police escort

 

[The Bear]

You can strike Kessie of the list, assuming he was ever on it.

Franck Kessié: “I want to stay at AC Milan forever. I’m proud of this club and I’m not planning to leave AC Milan, absolutely”, he told Gazzetta dello Sport. He’s in advanced talks to extend his contract. 🔴🤝 #ACMilan

I had read somewhere previously Bailey might be available for £15m. He'd be a good addition in the wide areas regardless.

And the Newcastle correspondent (I think) for the Athletic has mentioned us as one of the clubs interested in the Swedish midfielder Cajuste (with his club wanting £12.8m for him).

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We don't need another wide player, surely? Especially if we're considering RAN as an option too.

 

[YoungWolf]

It seems likely Adama will go to me. Which leaves us with Trincao, Podence and Neto (who is out for a while yet). RAN is just covering that position for now so that him and Marcal get good minutes in pre-season, I'd be surprised if he plays in that position in the league.

Even if we don't get a taker for Adama I'd probably want another option, we were desperately short there last season. Hopefully Podence is past his injuries issues but we weren't able to rely on him, though he may suit the role coming in off the left.

Centre back and centre midfield still the priorities, mind you.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I don't think anyone is interested in Adama tbh.

 

[YoungWolf]

The Leeds guy loves him! I think the issue will be someone paying what we want for him, which will be at least £30m.

If Bruno could get him receiving the ball inside off the right effectively, he'd be some threat I think. He just drifts wide when it starts getting difficult though.

 

[Tony Towner]

Don't think you can bank on RAN as a wide forward option given that would be banking on Marcal as a left back

 

[Deano]

Yeah think we do need another wide player. Neto out for a while, Podence will always be in and out with injuries as well - Adama may or may not go. Lot of uncertainty at those positions. Don't want to see RAN further forward, don't mind it for friendlies for fitness but it's not his bag.
