The Incoming Transfers Everywhere Thread: Summer 2023

[Sniffer]

Can we all just move on from ITKgate... it is getting a bit tiresome. Who really cares?

The ones who love the attention of saying that they know something?
I occasionally used to read the mix and there was a poster called Jonzy who used to drop the odd snippet here and there and have a dozen posters begging him for more information. A poster has arrived on here with a remarkably similar name and drops a few meaningless messages about texts he’s received and immediately gets called out as being a prick tease and deserves any flak coming his way. What I find strange is that Brexit lovin Brit abroad sticks up for him and starts spouting similar nonsense and doubles down with all of the told you posts that told us nothing that wasn’t already in the public domain.
If they have inside information then fair play to them, if they have to protect their sources then I understand that too but let’s not pretend posting I know something messages is anything other than attention seeking crap.

You realise that wasn't news don't you?

I meant Del was spot on.

But why engage? Just fucking ignore them.

 

[Del Woppio]

It's more fun the take the piss out them though

When I messaged Paddy, Dawson being at Compton was not in the public domain. Not that I particularly give a flying fuck what you lot think.
I messaged Jonzy earlier, to his credit he called it when we told you what we knew, it's why I messaged Paddy with far more details than was known or that I told you lot here.

Fuck all else being told by Jonzy or me.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Why are you messaging Paddy, out of interest...

And the woke BBC reported your Dawson "news" (the guy we wanted to sign five months ago, imagine my surprise when he rocked up) before you did.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh and we need a new goalkeeper. José Sa is shit.

You told us nothing anyway so we're not missing anything.

At the risk of annoying Slink and Dire it's the delusion that's funny

Don’t worry about annoying me, you can do what you like. Just think the piss taking stopped being funny after the first couple of jokes.

Back to transfers, i hope Fosun have some funds available in the summer because this squad needs a massive rebuild which may be helped slightly with players returning hopefully ready to contribute.

Dúbravka was going through my head earlier, wondering if someone like him still had any class yet and would be worth offering Sa competition (/replacing him quite quickly)

Dubravka is dreadful

Dubravka is dreadful

Fair enough, not going to pretend I've seen much of him. I know a few Slovak people who love him, but it might just be biased!

Does it need a massive rebuild?

Let's say for arguments sake Neves and Nunes don't leave. Moutinho, Raul, Costa and Adama will leave and Boubacar made permanent. Guedes isn't coming back so we can forget him.

We'd have:

Sá, Sarkic
Semedo, Lembikissa, Hoever, Bolla
Jonny, RAN, Bueno
Collins, Kilman, Toti, Dawson, Mosquera
Neves, Nunes, Lemina, Hodge, Traore
Sarabia, Podence, Cundle, Hwang, Neto
Cunha, Sasa, Silva

Keeper, CB and IF/ WF?

(I'd like an 8/ 10 type)

 

[jd1981]

Dubravka probably responsible for one of the funniest OG’s ever playing for Slovakia

 

[Alan]

Get Matt Turner in on loan from Arsenal.

 

[Jack Regan]

Dubravka was good I thought for about 18 months. Then got injured and being kept out of the Newcastle team by Karl Darlow probably tells you all you need to know after that.

I think there’s a lot of them that need replacing though and then that becomes a rebuild. For me I would say…

New GK
New RB
New CB
New CM
1 or 2 inside forwards and possibly a striker.

A lot depends on the players coming back and how good they are or how they have recovered from injuries. Not entirely sure Neves or Nunes go but if they do then they will need replacing too.

 

[Johnny75]

That's a really good shout

urgently. however anybody thought this guy was an ‘upgrade’ on Rui, i’ll never know. maybe over 100 caps for the national team was a clue,
